Lemmings in Fandom SGA
There are some changes slated for the uber-popular televisions series Stargate: Atlantis.

Spoilery information can be found here and here.

Heck, just go to the main page of gateworld.net to get the idea.

Fans get a little...well, upset about the various changes on fan forums, as predicted by certain actors a couple of months ago. This happens right?

Change on shows, especially one with characters that people passionately love or hate, brings out the fandom hysteria (and sometimes the funny)

Joseph Mallozzi, producer of SGA calls fans lemmings...well, by implication, maybe the context is stretched a little:

From his blog (does everyone on this show have a blog?)

I considered joining some online fan forum and joining the chorus blaming the producers for her sudden disappearance, that episode with the singing, and my dog’s eye condition - but ultimately decided against it because I realized it would only make me sound like a shrill and ill-informed lemming. Still, it was tempting. There’s something strangely comforting and delusively empowering about chiming in with an anonymous mob, albeit one that lacks any true insight into the reality of a situation.

So the lemmings, err fans, get a little uptight.

And I know finding wank on the Gateworld forums is like shooting fish in a small container thing..but Enjoy

ETA: the other person with my name on the forum, not me, although I'm sure she's fantastic, as anyone with that name aught to be
