All good things....
Stargate SG-1 will break the 2007 Guinness World Record for the Longest Running Sci-Fi TV Show (Consecutive) upon the airing of its 203rd episode, edging out the previous holder, X-Files. However, the SciFi Network announced today the cancellation of SG-1 at the end of its tenth season, despite renewing Atlantis for another, fourth season. While SG-1 could likely continue in the form of a new network home, movie, spin-off, Atlantis cross-over, and certainly in the annals of fanfiction, the cast and crew of Stargate SG-1 deserve our thanks for 10 terrific years. In memory of where it all began, here's the "puppet" clip from the hillarious 200th episode:

Lastly, a quote for all sci-fi fans from the episode's final minute:
"Science fiction is an existential metaphor that allows us to tell stories about the human condition. Isaac Asimov once said, 'Individual science fiction stories may seem as trivial as ever to the blinder critics and philsophers of today.

if we are to be safe at all.' "
if we are to be safe at all.' "

That's a shame it's not better publicized, though you could always Tivo it for later... Did you check the SciFi channel? Still, this beats the appalling lack of sci-fi programming here in SEA. Apart from bad horror and sci-fi flicks, there's only the occasional reruns of the final seasons of Andromeda, Enterprise and Season 2 of BSG. Argh.
