SG-1 Cancelled

[hsapiens]

Or, so the rumors on my exploding f-list and inbox are saying. As much as I hated the occasional episode -- ok, maybe more than "occasional" -- I'm saddened. As long as it kept going, I had hope that they'd stumble into a storyline or character arc that I could really enjoy.

The worst part, to me, is apparently the cast was told right before their 200th episode celebration. That's pretty damned cold. Weird that my day began with links to the brand new place SG-1 earned in Guinness records for longevity and announcement that SG-1 is now available on iTunes and ends with a cancellation.

Should be some mighty interesting Q&A at the Chicago Stargate con this weekend, eh?

I was going to write out a response to "200" but it seems a bit pointless at this juncture.

Are you like me and have to write out your own thoughts before you read any reviews?

Absolutely. If I start reading others' opinions, it's likely to color my impressions.

I figure that's fair use since I *should* be able to play the music files on my own CD players. *g* Otherwise, what's the point?

I'm with you there. To me, that's the other side of the coin. I don't mind participating in a system where those who produce are fairly compensated but once I've paid, I do expect that it's mine to use for my own personal use and I have precious little patience with companies trying to control my personal use. In fact, I think that stupidity leads to a "screw you, too" attitude and exacerbates the piracy problem.

My Tivo is hooked up to my computer network, and I can transfer files of TV shows from one to the other or to any computer in the house

I spent part of my vacation trying to do exactly that with my TiVo but for some reason it never did hook into my home network. Now that Joe is home with the laptop, I need to remember to get that set up.

Only certain wireless thingees will work, according to my husband. It's worked great for us. I recently got a second Tivo, but we don't have it hooked up to the network just yet.

Yeah, I'd read up on all the transmitters and which versions of firmware worked. I decided to make my life easier and just order a wireless card directly from TiVo. I'm wondering, actually, if there's something wrong with our router. The wired portions work but the wireless part has always been problematic. In any case, that's way more than you wanted to know. *grin*

It's a real pain but having the ability to pull content off my TiVo appeals very strongly to me. Especially now that we've switched to DSL and it does not like sharing the phone line with TiVo.

hehe That's what I would have done if my husband wasn't into it.

*g* No, really, I'm interested. That would suck if there's something wrong with the router. Luckily ours has worked fine, but I think this is our second one.

Yeah. When TivoToGo first came out, I transfered some episodes just because I could. *g* I really didn't have a reason to do it just yet.
