don't the 25 seasons over ~30 years before the pause count as longer then ;]

Edit: ahh i see what you're saying.

I dont agree as who is once again a current series, with a tracable link back to the old one but this is now semantics ;]

Instead of arguing over who series is longer, errr, I mean ran longer; lets just be happy any half-way decent scifi series made it past one season before being killed.

As for the 200th episode, it looks like it will be the 6th episode of the 10th season. If you're interested in Stargate news gateworld.net is generally a really shiny source.

I'm sorry, but I really hate Ben Browder's acting in both Farscape and SG-1. He plays the same character all over again, and he's such an over-actor. RDA is WAAAAY better. Just reading fans' favorite RDA moments on SG-1 and other shows made me realize that http://www.rdanderson.com/features/bday5/favorite.htm

While we're on the subject- a few stuff about SG-1 and RDA:
News:
* RDA is coming back for 5 episodes. Rumored to be quest appearing on SGA too.
* Don S. Davis (Hamond) rumored to be coming back for 10 episodes.
* Richard's "dream come true" appearance on The Simpsons, is now scheduled for April 9th. Richard is the "special guest voice" for the episode "Kiss Kiss Bang Bangalore." The episode description reveals that "Selma and Patty meet their Hollywood heartthrob, MacGyver, and kidnap him for their own obsessive worship. When Anderson discovers how exciting real-life drama can be, he refuses to leave until Selma and Patty devise their own plan." New episodes air at 8pm on FOX. Check local listings.

Yeah because real military can't possibly have feelings. He doesn't work there anymore. They married in secret. Get over it.

I think what he meant is: The return of RDA as such is a kiss to Firefly/Serenity. The episode itself will have nothing to do with it.

It should be appearent from the quote that a cancled tv series being a hit on dvd and then made as a movie is the kiss, rda has nothing to do with it.

That's okay - everyone has their own opinions on who's who in the gate'verse and that’s what makes things good and exciting.

Me? I preferred 'Jack Classic'[S1-S3] to the 'Dumb Jack' we started getting around S4. The last couple of seasons, pretty much since S6 in fact, it hasn't felt 'felt' like RDA was a jacked up and enthusiastic as he was in the earlier seasons. He ‘felt’ tired – like he was just going through the motions.

And I certainly preferred 'Original Sam' to the one they keep trying to give us now. ‘OrigSam’ was a consummate professional woman. The ‘SamLite’ they’re try to foist off on us comes across as a needy, 40-something fem who can’t make up her own mind and dithers in place, creating all sorts of havoc. I mean the sort of stuff no Lt. Col. should ever be doing [ogling her old CO who’s still in her chain of command, BTW, etc] yet she can do anything and everything else perfect, whether it’s in her field of expertise or not.

For me, the one constant has been ‘Daniel Jackson’. It’s been fun watching the character grow and change over the season. But then, I'm a serious Michael Shanks fan, so there's that [ www.michaelshanks-online.com].

Maybe he just needed to sing it Once More With Feeling? ;)

Hehe, I bet Thor would really get his groove on. He'd *have* to get the Rock n Roll track surely. But it probably wouldn't mention bunnies.

Yeah, and the General Courts Martial was in secret too, I'm sure.

The problem is, ya see, things haven’t really changed vis a vis that whole ‘chain of command’ thing.. Yeah, he was promoted out of the SGC proper and is now head of Homeworld Security. But he’s also part of the oversight committee that deals with the SGC. This is referenced in the show when he’s talking to Laundry about budgets, manpower and such. That still puts him in Carter’s direct chain of command. Carter – Laundry – O’Neill – PotUS. She can no more ‘go out’ with O’Neill than she can with her ultimate Commander in Chief, the President.

And I’m to believe it either is or is building up to a marriage *so* secret that *no* one knows about it? Not PAC [personnel admin.], payroll, med records[that whole next of kin thing], not anybody? Sorry, that just doesn’t happen. As a matte of fact, if they *did* do the whole ‘married in secret’ thing and didn’t report it, they’d both lose their security clearances and be out of a job. The government really frowns on folks in high level secure positions lying about stuff.

The ‘Real World’ would see two senior ranking officers with dishonorable discharges and loss of benefits and pensions.

To your assumption that military members don’t have ‘feelings’, well, we have feelings in the military, all right. We’re people just like anyone else. We simply know that they don’t have a place at work. People get killed if you bring your feelings to work. That’s why there’s the whole ‘no frat’ laws in the first place. That and making sure no one gets an unfair advantage over another for things like duty assignments, promotions, etc. The Uniform Code of Military Justice is very clear on stuff like this and when you raise your hand and take that oath, you swear to abide by it. You don’t just ‘put it aside’ because you get the hots for one of your subordinates or your superior. If you can break that little rule because you think it’s unfair, what other ones will you decide can be broken, hummm?

A lot of years in the military has given me some background in what's right and what will get you canned. So I guess I shouldn’t be the least bit concerned that some of the writers have sold the entire ‘women as professionals’ image that myself and a lot of other women in the service have fought so long and so hard for down the tubes to promote a bit of ‘can’t be a ‘real’ woman without a man’ thing.

But hey, that’s just my PoV and my opinion. You have yours, I have mine and evidently we both feel strongly about them. That’s cool. Your mileage may vary. That’s the way life is out in the ‘verse.
