About Star Trek. I think this is actually a very good thing. The main problem with Lucas’ special editions is that he has prevented the originals from being made available. With Star Trek: TOS, the originals are already available (in individual volumes and sets) in a high quality format. Personally I would really enjoy seeing Trek with improved effects. I know that many times when I was watching the reruns on Sci Fi I had to really concentrate to suspend disbelief. Some of the effects were just so bad that you can’t help but be taken out of the moment.
Stargate is cancelled? My sister will be heartbroken. She’s been a loyal viewer for years. Still, 10 seasons is a good run for any show. I long for the day when animated series regularly last this long (or half this long).

I am excited to hear the news that Stargate SG-1 may be continuing in some form. I recently jumped on board the show (and bought all the previous seasons on DVD) and have really been enjoying it. I was sad to hear Sci Fi no longer wanted it, but also paid attention to the fact that MGM still has not officially cancelled the show. I think it would be great to have some for of download for future seasons.

Wow 0-60 in 4 seconds for a hybrid….Impressive… Also, I’m scared to see the Lucas/Spielberg influence to update special effects continue to spread… But, I’m not really a trekkie so it doesn’t bother me that much… They are reviewing all the footage to insure that no one on Star Trek ever shoots first (ala Han Solo)…
