There is not going to be (a season 11 of Stargate SG-1) on U.S. television. Our contract with MGM prohibits it. It's done a great job, rejuvenated with the additions of Ben, Claudia, and Beau, but we think we've come to the end of those stories. We really felt like it was the right time to segue out, for the show not to overstay its welcome.

I'm glad they stopped Stargate SG-1 where they did and didn't pull a Marvel on it. Stargate Atlantis was OK, but not as good as Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Universe was crap. The new Stargate about finding the Stargate was just crap and I doubt anybody involved in the original SG-1 series was actually involved.

SGU really picked up in the second season and a third season would have been great

There was way too much shouting in that show for my taste. The pudgy genius who figured out how to get on the ship was annoying as all hell. And the dumb factions they made on the ship "me strong me should be in power!", "me brainy, me should be in power!", "me shout louder, ME SHOULD BE IN POWER!". So much unnecessary drama. You could really see the evolution from SG-1, to Atlantis, to Universe how they relied more and more on drama to stay interesting.

I'm glad they ended it as IMO, it was a failed execution of a great idea.

I liked SG-1 but I found that Atlantis did have a bit more long-term direction in some ways.

SG-U... just started a bit too rough for me
