To those sci-fi geeks... can you believe it's actually been just short of 10 years for Stargate SG-1? The TV series, which started on July 27, 1997, aired the last episode of the season today, for a total of 214 episodes.
The entire series has spawned an entirely new universe, including 2 movies, Stargate: The Ark of Truth and Stargate: Continuum (which are going to be released straight to DVD sometime this Fall), a Stargate SG-1 Roleplaying Game, Stargate Trading Card Game, Stargate Worlds (an MMORPG), Stargate SG-1: The Alliance (a video game which was canceled early 2006), and Stargate: Sorce (a Halflife 2 Mod also canceled due to studio requests). It also spawned the well known side-story TV series, Stargate: Atlantis, a comic book series published by Avatar Press, and an animated Stargate series, Stargate Infinity (which isn't considered canon in the Stargate Universe).
All of this based off one movie in 1994, which grossed only $71.5 million at the US box office, and $196 million worldwide. As comparison, this was the same year that the Lion King, Forrest Gump, True Lies, The Mask, Dumb and Dumber, and Speed were released. The least-grossing of these movies (Dumb and Dumber) took $127 million US and $246 million worldwide.
So, the big question: what do you think about how the final episode was handled, or the series in general, for one of the longest-running sci-fi TV shows?
