The Good news - The SG1 movie we were promised is out.
The Bad News - It was a straight to DVD release.
I was really hoping for a big screen feature. But I guess I'll have to be content with this.
Stargate - Ark of Truth was released on DVD on Tuesday, March 11th (my birthday, BTW).
"Blasting off where the Sci-Fi Channel's longest running show, Stargate SG-1, left off, this thrilling feature thrusts the Stargate team. Daniel Jackson (Michael Shanks), Vala (Claudia Black), Teal'c (Christopher Judge), Sam (Amanda Tapping) and Cam (Ben Browder) into their biggest challenge yet. In search of an Ancient artifact they hope can defeat the oppressive Ori, the team not only learns that the Ori are set to launch a final assault on Earth, but a double-crossing I.O. operative is aboard the Odyssey! Also starring Beau Bridges, this pulse-pounder is loaded with enough suspense, humor and action to fill a galaxy!

Full Version: Stargate SG1 fans -
Well hopefully the sales of this dvd will be of the charts so they will continue to make SG1 movies, I loved this movie, it was a fitting end to the Ori story line, I really hope that they finish and release "Stargate: Continuum", cause the supposed story for that one should be bad a$$.
BTW: there was one beef I had with this movie- no RDA, if he would have been in this it would have been 100 times better.

I used to watch the show, really I did... Then I lost track of it, and now... I don't even recognise all of the character names. How sad is that?

You know, a lot of people did after RDA left the show.
I personally have the box sets of every season there was.
I stopped watching shortly after DRA left.
He left? Really? (I obviously stopped before he did. -- I decided that cable TV wasn't worth it anymore.)
Yeah, for the Season Nine RDA took less screen time but remained on the show by having Jack O'Neil get promoted to Brig. General and taking over for Gen Hammand at Stargate Command (Carter gets promoted to Lt Col and takes over SG1) But he left completely (with the exception of an occasional cameo) for Season Ten by promoting O'Neil to Maj Gen, transfering to the Pentagon and bringing in a new General (General Landry, played by Beau Bridges).
I watched the movie on Friday. I'll echo the sentiments I've heard from others - It was pretty good - Better than most Episodes but there have been some really great SG1 episodes so I can't say it blew them all out of the water.
Stargate: Continuum is in the can, as far as I know. And, being that they're now doing straight-to-DVD releases (which don't get scrutinized the way that box-office releases do), I doubt it will get held up as long as the DVD sales of Ark of Truth don't completely tank...

Not canned. I can't find anything at all that says that it is true on the web.

NEW! March 11 - "Continuum is done. It was shot at the same time and then delayed in its post-production until 'Ark' was finished, and Brad's [writer and producer Brad Wright] finished it off, now. ... I know it will be coming out at the end of July to coincide with Comic-Con.
It just occurred to me that we may just have a misunderstanding.
I used the term "In the Can" and you responded that the film had not been "Canned". "Canned" can be taken to mean "discarded" - this is not what I meant. The term I used, "In the Can", is a film industry term meaning "finished filming" (because the film has been used and has now been placed back in its can). What I meant was that Stargate: Continuum has finished principle filming and is now in post production.

More good news/bad news. Good - Stargate: Continuum will be released on July 29. Bad - another straight to DVD release...
I love Stargate, i watched the new DVD release of Stargate SG1: Continuum, and it was really good. I thought it was better than the "Ark of Truth" dvd release.
I wish there was more SG1, but im content with Stargate: Atlantis, its turning out pretty good.

Uhhg both Continuum and Ark of Truth were terrible, Ark being slightly better than the other but still terrible.
Watching it now (internet copy). Will reserve judgment until I'm finished...
Finished it. I really liked it, and will buy it when its officially released. Of course, SG1 is/was pretty much my favorite show, so I suppose I was pre-disposed to liking it...
SG-1 basically died season 10 onwards. Really its not SG1 without RDA. They shouldve either made a different stargate or just ended it.
However i did enjoy the episode "Unending", the last of the last SG1. I think that wouldve been even more awesome if RDA was there. And vala was a good addition.

Who was that one middle aged bald guy? the reason i ask is cus he lived in vancouver bc, and i talked to him for a while and set him up with some free range balls at the golf course I was working at. I dint see him on the movie cover, I cant say much about the show except to say it played on the only channel that came in on broadcast at 1 in the morning. Great sleeping pill!

BRITISH COLUMBIA - Don Sinclair Davis, a B.C. actor best known for his recurring role on the TV show Stargate SG-1, died of a heart attack Sunday morning at his home in Gibsons. He was 65.
"He had a massive heart attack," said Gail Wilson, a friend who lives just down the street from Davis. "The ambulances came [and] I know they tried to resuscitate him in the driveway and couldn't."
Wilson said Davis had had heart problems for years and suffered from diabetes.
Davis leaves behind his wife Ruby Fleming-Davis, who he married in 2003, and a son from a previous marriage.
Davis, who had a PhD in theatre, was born and raised in Missouri and began acting in the early 1980s while teaching at the University of British Columbia. In 1987, he gave up teaching to act full time.
Davis served three years in the army in the 1960s and two of his best-known TV roles were playing military men: General George Hammond in Stargate SG-1 and Major Garland Briggs in Twin Peaks.
Phil Hayes, a friend of Davis' who lives in Los Angeles, said Davis was "very talented" but also very modest.
"He was fantastic, very self-effacing," said Hayes. "He wouldn't take a compliment."
He was also an artist - a skill Hayes said Davis first picked up doing set design - and he had recently begun promoting his paintings and sculptures online.
