Default Stargate SG-1

So. Perhaps you have heard the news. Perhaps not. Perhaps you don't watch Stargate and don't really care.

Season 10 is going to be the last season for the show. So. The obligatory topic...

Are you upset? Feel free to wax nostalgia about your favorite SG-1 eps, stuff you wish would've happened...after all, I don't think we can have too many non-Who posts in this forum.

As for me, my thoughts are mixed. SG-1's had a good run. Better to let it go now, after it's won so many awards and stuff, and when they plan it, rather than what happened to Enterprise. Let Atlantis have a shot. On the other hand, I love SG-1 and don't want to see it end. It's been nine seasons already and it's still interesting. The characters are incredible, the storylines are interesting, and they have the right balance of ongoing plot and filler episodes.

Anyone else...actually watch SG-1 around here?

Somtimes. It's a fun show, but I haven't kept up with it recently. In terms of cast and character interaction it's certainly far ahead of the majority of the pack, but after a certain point that can't carry it much further. Ten seasons is a good run by anyone's reckoning though - who'd have thought back when the film came out that it would produce such a successful and entertaining series?

Me, I was expecting at least another 5 seasons or so. I'm angry. Now there's only Atlantis and BSG worth watching on.

I'm somewhat far behind. About 9 and a half years behind. I've only just started to watch it now. I like it. I like the humor. It's a little more - normal than Star Trek and other shows. But wow; 9 years to go......

You're lucky. You've got nine years of gold ahead of you

And that doesn't even include Atlantis

Oh yeah, love Stargate. Now that Andromeda is gone I really do think that Stargate is THE only worthwhile sci-fi on network television these days.

Here's a plug for Five-Minute Stargate. It hasn't been updated since dinosaurs roamed the earth, but if you like my work I have a bunch over there.

Anyone else a Vala fan?

Favorite episode=Window of Opportunity, no question.
