Hmm, in a way I'm relieved. Mind you we're 2 years behind here in Aussieland, but honestly? From what I have seen, Mallozzi and his cohorts fucked the show up royally. You can't go messing with the characters in that way on a sci fi show. We fans ADORE our characters, why else would we spent so much time and energy devoted to the fandom? The days of teenage fanboys wacking off to flux capacitors and big boobed aliens are gone.
At least in my little corner of fandom (aka, you guys), there is a prevalence of meta, artwork, wonderfully insightful fiction, concentrating moreso on the *people* - be they from Earth or not. Of course plot and explosions have their place too. :P
But hey, the cast changes, over abundance of OOCness and a whole bunch of other reasons could be contributed to the show's demise without any clear cut division of factors, so my bet is the slip in ratings combined with high production costs.
Oh well, there's also a 2 hour tv movie to come afterwards...thrills! :P
