The brave fans of Richard Dean Anderson (known to Gaters as Col. Jack O'Neill) are attempting to map out every single Stargate story arc in the 10 seasons Stargate SG-1 was on the air. Clearly this is a work in progress, as "200" and "Bad Guys" from Season 10 are missing.

We expect a lot from Syfy, because it's the only cable channel devoted to science fiction. So it's inevitable that the network formerly known as the Sci-Fi Channel will disappoint us occasionally. And sometimes people blame Syfy unfairly — like when Syfy pulls the plug on a low-rated show. More »
