Excerpt --
“There's obviously a passionate audience for Atlantis and the characters of Atlantis,” Howe said. “And yes, they're absolutely going to continue in the movie franchise. But people need to mourn for a while and come to terms with it. I don't anticipate that that will subside quickly. But once Universe is on air and they have kind of their next fix of the Stargate franchise, I think hopefully people will realize that it's in safe hands at Sci Fi, that we really value this franchise and it's in our interest and the fans' interest to let us continue the story and figure out how to retell it for a new audience every few years.”
YOU DO NOT GET TO DECIDE WHAT WE LIKE, MR. HOWE. Most of us have been doing that for a very long time, thank you. It is comments like this that will have the fans boycotting your shiny, new show, asshats.

They Cancelled My Show - Again
August 21st, 2008 05:11 pmDear SciFi Channel,
You're all idiots. Stargate Atlantis was the only reason I, personally, watch you network. Surprisingly, I don't like dumb-ass original movies. They make me want to cry because of their badness, and that's just with watching the commercials for them. However, that's all you seem to want to produce otherwise. I can't speak for shows like Eureka or Battlestar Galactica, of course, as I don't watch either, but you seem to have made the fans unhappy with those in some way or another of late, too.
I'll admit Atlantis isn't the best show ever. But damn it, it's the kind of show I'd spend the rest of my life watching. There are so few shows on the air or that have ever been on the air that hit the mark for me like the Stargate franchise has. I've had it in my life for the last 12 years or so -- that's literally half my existence, people. So, taking it away certainly isn't going to help your profit margin. At least, not with the help of this fan. Thus, I repeat: you're all idiots.
I could say more, but maybe I'll save that for a real letter.
No love,
Me

Motivation: The SciFi Channel loves to make super-spoilery teasers, and I love to mock them for it.
Spoilers: For "The Kindred, Part 1," though not as spoilery as the actual teaser.
