For once, I want to be kidnapped by the sexy alien

It’s amazing how nice it is to enjoy a new episode of Stargate when you already know they’re coming back next year. Joe Mallozzi spoke to GateWorld about it. He won’t have time later, as Season 5 planning kicks off today! (After Joe gets done terrorizing Nigerian scam artists, that is.)

Good thing that SciFi already made their decision to renew as the ratings for Reunion came in about even.

In non-ratings-related stuff, the ever-charming Carmen Argenziano (Jacob/Selmak) chats with GateWorld about the love he has for Stargate.

Eureka! There’s a 3rd Season!

In all my Stargate Atlantis renewal euphoria, I failed to realize that the announcement in Variety also included news that Eureka was getting its third season, as well. More wackiness to come!

No word on Flash Gordon, but would anyone be terribly shocked if it didn’t get renewed? It’s been struggling. And no amount of Battlestar Galactica Razor teasing seems to be able to help it.

In other TV news, Pushing Daisies is blooming with happiness over its full season order. (Why, yes. I did have to go there. Look how much I’ve used the whole eureka thing.)

And the natives rejoice

Just found this on Variety (since SciFi seems to be having issues, this morning).

Stargate Atlantis has been renewed for Season 5!

Although the show has been averaging around the same as the rest of the network on the regular Nielson numbers, SciFi was supposedly asking for more. Thankfully, adding in the DVR and iTunes numbers has helped to demonstrate that it’s a bigger hit than the Nielson’s show. (No, really?)

Color me pleased….

Gate Geekiness for the Day

The SGA episode that will launch a thousand fanfics, Doppleganger, seems to be getting some good buzz. Hopefully ratings will support it.

The show’s writer/director, Robert C. Cooper, dropped by Joe Mallozzi’s blog to answer some questions about the episode.

Joe also reports that the new-fangled “Ratings +3” numbers that add in DVR and internet viewings show a nice little jump for the first episode. Here’s hoping that will sway SciFi into renewing for Season 5.

In other Gate news, Paul McGillion tells GateWorld that his two episodes aren’t just gimmicks but involve some “meaty” storyline for Carson Beckett.

More fanfics?
