# 29: “I’m a bit confused by burn notice. Why take the trouble to get it via torrent when you can just stream it from USA’s website?”

Because they block non-merkin IPs from streaming it.

How many times do pinheads like you have to be told that the world is larger than the USA…?

“There was just an announcement of a new series: “Stargate: Universe”, so all is good in the world.”

Have you seen the plot summary for this new show? Its outright terrible. Its being made to appeal to kids and teens and is a star trek rip off, with a bit of sliders thrown in. SO far fans of the Stargate universe don’t seem impressed. They manage to negate the established history and working of the gate int the plot summary itself. I will be passing on it. Also to the person that said to make good SciFi like BSG has to be joking. Sorry but it was flashy and lack and kind of spark to make it interesting. Too often I hear people talk about their love for that show and the hot chicks on it in the same breath. Last time I checked tits do not equal a good story.

weeds+burn notice>all

As for Atlantis it got old when the wraith died from bullets instead of being immune to everything and being uber scary. Bring on stargate universe!

The cancellation of “Stargate: Atlantis” may be moot.

There was just an announcement of a new series: “Stargate: Universe”, so all is good in the world.

I downloaded the opening ceremonies :)
Strange though, a lot of the people downloading had IPs from China.

You morons, Top Gear isn’t on this list because it’s a ranking from last week’s stats and TG is on hiatus between seasons until October. Until then, it’s Fifth Gear or nothing, for your fill of witty British automotive entertainment.

Atlantis has not been canceled as a production team. They just are going to DVD movies so we have to pay for them ala Stargate SG1. Therefore I expect it to also be one of the most bootlegged DVDs. I also expect it to not last much longer either. It is one thing to have a weekly cast to follow and care about, another to have only 90 minutes twice a year you have to pay for(I am guessing here). They have badly misjudged the audience and chosen greed IMHO. I like the show a lot but I will not pay for the DVD. I also do not download any shows, they look like crap (I despise mp3 as well) So don’t go by me.
Now those last 2 Deadwood DVDS (that never happened)I would have paid full retail and cherished.
They don’t have a clue.

I’m sorry I know everyone loves SGA, but the whole “we’re traveling to Vancouver Island through the stargate for another repetitive, campy plot” is getting tired and old. Take some cues from BattleStar Galactica and make some decent Sci-Fi please.

“People are still downloading “Olympics 2008 Opening Ceremony”???

Does that mean that the Chinese govt efforts to stop this from happening has failed?”

It wasnt the chinese, the olympics TV rights got sold to individual countries TV channels, they were the ones forcing sites to take it down. Its called Capatalism.

Learn the facts before you spout ur shite, you spoon fed cunt.

SGA might have been cancelled, but then again, Star Trek TOS was cancelled too, and after only 3 seasons, 40 years ago. We all know what happened after that, right?

@ 14 – Dimagus

Have you seen the statements for Universe… it sounded good all up until they then state… Younger audience… now i’m not 100% sure what that means but…

Surely a younger person watches Scifi shows because they want something more intelligent than the programs in their ‘target audience’, I know thats what I did, I watched something that inspired me not dulled my mind with trivial teen dramas.

SciFi has a history of canceling their best shows

Viva la Farscape!!

By: Dimagus

Dimagus — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 12:08:17 +0000

That is a shame, because the only reason SciFi canceled Atlantis is because they said awhile ago they would not be running concurrent Stargate shows.

Universe got the green light, Atlantis was canned.

I’d certainly be pirating Stargate Atlantis a lot less if my “SciFi HD” (via Dish) actually showed the damn thing in HD.

As it is, I have to grab a torrent if I want to see it in anything other than “crummyvision”.

Am shocked… would never have ‘thunk’ it..

am surprised that Eureka is not on the list, its a pretty decent show.

“[BitTorrent is] fast becoming the modern day TiVo”

I’m sure that for many people in countries that don’t even have TiVos, it already is. Personally I moved to downloads not long after I stopped using VHS several years ago, probably somewhere around the time TiVo was becoming popular in the US. For me, even if I could get one, a TiVo would be basically useless now since I can download shows well before they even air in my country.

It’s kinda nuts Atlantis is for the first time ever, being popular for having decent episodes and now it’s been cancelled. go figure, maybe they need the set space so they create ANOTHER reality tv show…
