I'd like to make a plea to you, my dear flist.  If any of you have ever been inclined to Stargate: SG-1, ever liked it in the past, ever were curious about the program, I implore you, please watch today's episode at 9PM EST (8PM Central).  This is the first showing since Sci Fi cancelled the series, and, even though they don't seem to believe so, the numbers tonight DO matter.  So please, view the episode when it comes on.  Don't TiVo it because the TiVo figures don't affect the Nielsen Rating.  If you have no desire to watch the show, that's fine too. :)  No pressuring. 


In (slightly) other news, I'm working on a new thing for Dragoncon: a Thank You for 10 Years Banner from SG-1 fans to the cast.  If you are unable to attend Dragoncon, but want your name on the banner, please reply to this post.  Feel free to mention the banner to your flists, on mbs, comms, lists, everywhere there are SG-1 fans.  I want that white covered! *L*

And if you are coming to Dragoncon, and want to sign it,  great! You can sign it in person!  It's going to be in the track room.

Today marks the first ever airing of Stargate: SG-1's 200th episode.  In the last couple of weeks, I've been thinking about this ep and the tenth season.  I've never had a fandom go this far before and still continue to have great episodes.  I still find myself excited about the series.  Even though I haven't been a fan for very long (two years), I have watched the show consistantly since season 1, and have had a strong attachment to the show throughout the last ten seasons.  For me, the show is about people and how they react to extraordinary, life-altering circumstances.  Some of the faces have changed, but the ultimate goal, I think, it still the same.

This post is less about my thoughts and more about what you think.  You can be in the US, or not.  It doesn't matter.  If you're an SG-1 fan, I'm talking to you. :) 

What does Stargate mean to you?  How has it shaped or changed you over the last ten seasons?  Do you have any fond memories of SG fandom or the series?
