The Gate is closing and SG-1 is about to be grounded— forever. No more travels through the sparkling wormhole. No more miracles from Samantha Carter. No more sudden insights into the mythology of the past from Dr. Daniel Jackson. No more staff blasts from the Jaffa Teal’c. Science Fiction fans all over the world are in mourning. We will grieve for a little while. Then we will realize we are close friends with a family of legends. Where else could that happen but in the world of Science Fiction? For the last ten years Jack O’Neill, Samantha Carter, Dr. Daniel Jackson, Teal’c, and General George Hammond have taken us on journeys like no other Science Fiction group ever has. They have been to places other shows can only dream of. They’ve fought—and defeated—the likes of the Goa'uld and the Replicators, made alliances with the Tok’ra and the Asgard. All the while endearing us with quirky personalities and taking us to the brink of disaster. SG-1 is the stuff that heroes, and legends, are truly made of. They have opened up and allowed us into their personal lives. We’ve learned things about each of them that only their closest friends and family should know. Who knew it would be like this all those years ago when we were first introduced to the team? So don’t mourn them long. They may not go on in view, but they will go on in our minds and hearts. That’s what a family of Science Fiction legends does. SG-1. You have a go!
