Double marathons lead up to premiere

Brand new seasons of Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis are premiering on The SCI FI Channel on July 15 — but not before two full days of Stargate marathons! SCI FI is giving viewers one last chance to see Season Eight of SG-1 and Season One of Atlantis, one week before new episodes arrive.

SCI FI will air a 19-episode, SG-1 Season Eight marathon on Thursday, July 7. The fun starts at 8 a.m. Eastern/Pacific, and runs until 3 a.m.

Grab some sleep fast, because the Stargate Atlantis marathon will begin Friday, July 8 at 8 a.m. and runs until 3 a.m. on Saturday morning. SCI FI will show 19 episodes, but the cable network has yet to announce which one will be omitted.
