Sorry, but stargate should have been canceled YEARS ago, while there was still something left besides stupid rehashes and lack of ideas.

And this is bad because?

"Ten seasons and 215 episodes is an astounding, Guinness World Record-setting accomplishment."

At least the Star Trek producers had the decency to stop running the same old plots into the ground after seven seasons of their shows. SG-1 has been running the same story into the ground, over and over, for far too long. Here's hoping that they're clearing the way for something better - or at least another Galatica, which had the decency to reuse old ideas that had been on the shelf for a couple decades.
