To be blunt, as a longtime fan of the television franchise... who cares what Devlin and Emmerich and MGM wind up saying, we'll always have 17(!) seasons of an incredible franchise. No second movie, third movie, ninth movie can come close to that. Sure, those guys invented the formula, but Wright, Mallozzi, Cooper, Glassner, Binder... those guys perfected it.
Not one word I don't agree with there. I love the TV series.
