Now this looks spectacular:)

Yes folks it’s the day when the SG franchise ceases to exist as an ongoing production in the TV medium with the truncated series finale on Syfy tonight.
It’s my hope that those fans that for whatever reason never gave the series a chance or were not grabbed early on will give it another go as it will no doubt be repeated and there are the DVD/Blu releases and they’ll see that what is being shown now is a different beast altogether than the early season 1 episodes.
Best wishes to all the cast and crew and success in what ever direction their careers take them.
Gauntlet airs tonight on Syfy at 9/8c.

MGM have announced an early release for the SGU season 2 DVD release, nothing about a Blu-ray release for North America. The DVD arrives on May 31st at a reasonable $32.99
The UK however will get a DVD and Blu release on July 4th although the pricing seems to be a little on the high side just as the first season was and why I still do not own the first season Blu-ray. The DVD is £35.99 and the Blu-ray £50.99 both from Amazon, other sites at similar prices.

Courtesy of the writing and producing partnership that is Paul Mullie and Joseph Mallozzi, the piece is taken from the commentary track to the 4th season episode “Prodigy” and by itself is one of the highlights of the season as Paul, Joseph and Peter DeLuise have a blast.

The US Syfy channel is currently conducting a poll on the favourite episodes from each season of SG1. The results will then determine the Viewers Choice Marathon which starts on that channel May 3rd.
Voting ends midnight of the 22nd which doesn’t leave much time.

Yes it’s as official as it’ll ever be as Brad Wright announces that the long delayed SG1, Atlantis and proposed SGU movies have been written off. His statement was made at the Creation Stargate Convention this weekend and pretty much seals the fate of the franchise for the foreseeable future.
If you have any thoughts on the news we would be delighted to put them into the next podcast and wonder ourselves if we’ll ever see any new content from the franchise outside of printed media.

MGM have announced that Stargate Atlantis will be getting a full series Blu-ray boxset released on the 26th of July at a proposed list price of $199. I’ll be honest and say I am surprised even considering MGM are now well funded and they have a catalogue that can be exploited but is the retail market for Atlantis on Blu big enough to make the product pay even to die hard fans let alone casual fans who have never had it so good with cheap DVD and streaming options.

Almost at the back of the queue SKY1 has finally announced that SGU will return to the screens on the 11th of April at 8pm (that’s a monday). You know I probably wouldn’t have cancelled my SKY subscription if they had taken on the funding of a third season, the SG franchise has been a cornerstone of SKY1 since the pilot.

The second Stargate Live Auction kicks off tonight (19th) at 10am PST.
As with the first there are hundreds of props from the series including the MALP, SGC wall logo and dozens of costumes, guns and set pieces. Alas as before the cost of insurance and shipping prevents me from even attempting to win a piece of my favourite show but I do have the last catalogue which is gorgeous and have the pdf of the second catalogue.
The event is being hosted by LiveAuctioneers for Propworx.
Watching the first days lots and the auction is going well, some really nice stuff but prices are as you might expect buoyant.

Ok folks it’s the time to vote for your favourite episode from the fourth season of SG1. At this point we’ve covered around half the season but I suspect most of you are not new to the show so you can vote in good faith.
We seem to be having issues integrating our previous Polldaddy app with WordPress so for now here is the link to the Poll itself. The poll will remain open for a couple of months and the results used in the recap show which will be along after the season 4 finale.

Many thanks to Mark Jacobs who sent me the link to this masterpiece of cake making.

My esteemed co-host Alan is currently crossing the Atlantic (in a plane) on his way to a US vacation in which he will tour the states and met up with friends and accountancies. Eventually he will hit Dallas via Pittsburgh, West Virgina and New Hampshire for the Galactic Watercooler international meet up and be immersed into the hive mind, coverage of the event can be found on their website as well as podcasts in due time.
Have a great time Alan and you won’t be missed until I run out of the pre-recorded shows:)

I’ve no idea how long the offer is on but for now you can pick up the DVD boxset for an amazing $79 which is a good deal. Thanks to Kevin who tweeted and Scott or retweeted so I could see the offer and post it here.

The final batch of 10 episodes of SGU return to the US Syfy channel tonight (7th) at 10pm with Deliverance. Rumours of a TV movie to wrap up the story line (this season ends in a cliffhanger) abound so there still is hope even though the Atlantis movie seems to be dead and the SG1 movie long overdue and pretty much pointless now.
