The Week (of 3.6.11)

We're 10 weeks into 2011 now and it still seems like spring is holding out on us. For those of you heading off for vacations, I envy you. Enjoy them. As for those of us heading back to school I can hear your collective sighs. And then those who are a part of the working class, this is just another week. Wrong, every week, every day is something new, so let's see what's new this week.

The Interaction

First off, I'd like to take this opportunity to apologize for my lackluster posting as of late. I'm on vacation which has turned out to be more busy than I expected, but most vacations turn out that way for me. Anyway, I'm onto a more important topic, or rather query that has infiltrated my mind as of late courtesy of shows like Being Human: is it possible to have a scripted television show (to clarify: no cartoons, sketch shows, or game shows are considered) where there is no sort of love/romantic relationship?

The Creation

Imagination. Without it, pretty much any form of entertainment you hold dear would disappear, or rather never be brought into existence in the first place. Think about it: Star Wars, Stargate, Zelda, Mario, Lord of the Rings, [zombies], you get the idea. How does it work? Your guess is as good as mine.

The Plan

It's been awhile since anyone has posted on my [petition] or my [rant] about Stargate Universe being cancelled, but I've been made aware of other efforts to save SGU. Brian J. Smith, aka Lt. Scott tweeted about Save Stargate Universe's campaign to save the show. The Plan is to follow [The Plan]. After the jump you'll find a set of instructions on how we can help spread the word about Universe being cancelled, and help generate opportunities for the show to continue on. Follow The Plan and we could definitely work on ensuring the future of the series. Not only could this be good for SGU but it could also be helpful for all past and future sci-fi television series. TV has become a cornerstone to society, and science fiction is a way for us to see new worlds that can give us better insight into our own and ourselves. Let's do our best to prevent the injustice done to Stargate Universe and the fellow sci-fi series Caprica. I'd even go as far as suggesting a change in the name of the campaign from "Save Stargate Universe" to "Save Sci-fi Television".

Follow Save Stargate Universe's progress to save the show on [Facebook] and [Twitter] and stay tuned here for new info on the status of the Stargate franchise.

Later gaters.

The Hope

To reuse the title of one of the greatest movies of all time, Stargate Universe may indeed have A New Hope.

The Petition

Hate to see SGU go? Want it renewed? Comment below and we'll submit this petition to Syfy to show just how much you care about one of your favorite series. Let's go SGUnit! Email this petition to fellow Gaters and share it with all of your friends across the interwebs. We need to get this thing going strong if we want show Syfy that we're serious.

(Plus, how the heck could they cancel the series when the creators themselves said that its a five year story?)

Tune in. Pledge here. Dream on.

The Rant

Okay, I apologize in advance but this is definitely going to be a bit of a rant. A short one, but a rant nonetheless.

First, let me ask you this: Do you have a favorite TV show?
