I thought this was excellent, or at least, well above their average recently. There’s two types of SG-1 finales as far as I can see – the big, bombastic and lame action cliffhanger, or the peculiar little character-heavy sci-fi story, like ‘Moebius’. This one was quite strongly the latter. Which is good.
A beautiful, heartfelt review, Andy. When Who finishes it’s current 26 year run in 2030, I’ll be right there with you.

You said it, Andy. The entire 10th season was kind of below average. So I went to read the rumors for the final finale and it promised mindbogling blowing and the like. It was a good episode, but nothing to ease the pain of the loss.
It was excellent in one way: In being typical. We get super stuff, and we lose it again. Everything back to square one. Only Teal’c has additional wrinkels.
It’ll feel weird using past tense: I loved Stargate.

You got 10 years and you’ve got two movies and two spin-offs to come. You bloody whingers. See if you get any sympathy from a Firefly fan. Er, which I know you kind of are. So! See if you get any sympathy from yourself! Curses, you probably will.
I’ll be over here.

I want a life time of Stargate. But it would have to timed perfectly. I wouldn’t want to miss an episode just because I’m in a box all of sudden.
Firefly is an excellent example. Thank you, Tom. I also want a life time of Firefly. ;)
The difference is Firefly didn’t give off the euphoria “Oh yes, it’s Tuesday again!” only “Oh yes, I can go to uni tomorrow with no sleep and watch all episodes now”.

Another day goes past without SG-1. I’m going to Egypt to find my own stargate.

Great, I already got myself a DHD from in northern mythology believing places. Tell me when you have your stargate.
