Just remember, this is the same organization that canceled Farscape at its prime. I just don't think they think.
I have not seen Continuum yet, but have heard that it did not live up to its hype. I like SGA (if my recent fic obsession isn't apparent enough), but don't know if I like the idea of a movie. They can't defeat both big bads in a single shot, and I don't know if I trust TPTB to handle the characters and script in a decent way for two hours (the actors I think can do it since they carry the show even with crappy scripts).
It's yet another example of the bigwigs not actually knowing their audience, not to mention their own commodities. Stargate (both SG-1 and SGA) brings in the viewers. They have nothing in the mix that can do the same right now. They might be banking on AT's new show, but I don't think that's the best choice. Why they are getting rid of an established draw, I have no idea.
I have the sneaking suspicion that they *are* banking on her new show to bring in most of the Stargate audience.
Man, are *they* going to be surprised. Will I watch it? Sure. I'll give it a shot. But while I used to be a dedicated SciFi viewer, when they canceled SG1 (and really, when they messed with it beginning in S9), I started drifting away and have become far more invested in shows on other networks.

I can honestly say, I doubt I'll buy SGA movies since I never got invested in the show.
Frankly, after Continuum, I'm not so sure I'll buy any SG1 movies again. I feel like I got seriously gypped.
(And whichever suit made these decisions should fire his/her marketing folks. *sigh*)
