Goodbye Stargate SG-1

The final episode of Stargate SG-1 has just aired on SkyOne (UK) a couple of hours ago.

If you haven’t already known, Stargate SG-1 has been showing for 10 years and is currently the longest running sci-fi television series in the USA. It’s kind of sad to see a series that have been with me since I was just a kid ends. I practically grew up with Stargate SG-1. I have been following the series religiously since I was about 14 or 15. I am currently 24 and so much has changed, but Stargate SG-1 has always been with me since I was in secondary school until now.

Even though the producers have promised 2 straight-to-DVD movies after this to end the storyline, 2 full length movies still wouldn’t do justice to me and it would never feel the same as the TV series, which I have been looking forward to every single week, except during its mid-season and end-season hiatus. The whole Stargate franchise also doesn’t end after SG-1, the other spin-off series, Stargate Atlantis has been signed to its 4th season. Personally I don’t find Stargate Atlantis all that good as compared to SG-1. The show is lacking some scientific element to make it seems not much different than being non-sci-fi fantasy series. But still I have watched every single episode of Stargate Atlantis until now and will continue to do so, along with another favorite of mine, Battlestar Galactica.

The days would feel different from today onwards, with no Stargate SG-1 episode to look forward to each week. You will be missed, Stargate SG-1. Thanks for saving Earth countless of times all these years, Major General Jack O’Neill, Lieutenant Colonel Samantha Carter, Lieutenant Colonel Cameron Mitchell, Dr. Daniel Jackson, Teal’c, Vala Mal Doran and others.
