Meanwhile, producer, Joseph Mallozzi continues to keep fans apprised, on his blog, as to the developments which producer, Brad Wright ha been making with his negotiations with MGM, to have the series continue in some form.

To those holding out hope that this could mean a third season pick-up — alas, this isn’t one of the scenarios in play.
