Darn work filters, I'll have to read Jewel's bit later. That poll though... my only response to it and the conclusions drawn from those results is "... ... ..."
so maybe the termination of Beckett and Weir had more impact than the network expected and Keller and Carter couldn't counter that
I do think that killing off major characters is a turn off for audiences, and not just for die-hard fans who possibly over analyze it on their journals *g* I don't fan hard on every show I watch, but if they kill off my favorite character, or a character that I really like... it's doubtful I'll tune back in next year. Despite what producers may think, I personally don't watch television for shock value or realism.
The reasoning behind SGA's cancellation still baffles me, because it's natural to try and lead in a new show with something that will help boost it's audience. It could possibly be budgetary reasons, shows get really expensive year six plus... but who knows. There's some days I have a hard time not feeling like SGA is the red-headed step-child of the Stargate franchise.
