GateWorld Podcast: Stargate Year-In-Review

Visit the GateWorld Podcast page for more about the show!

We’re wrapping up 2009, a big year of transition for the Stargate franchise, on this week’s podcast! Darren and David will look back on the last 12 months, from the final bow of Stargate Atlantis in January to the SGU premiere, our trips to the Stargate conventions in Vancouver and Chicago, Comic-Con, plus the long lead-up to the start of the third Stargate series. We’ll also get David to weigh-in on “Justice,” and hear from some listeners on their personal Stargate high-points of the year.

Our last show of the year wraps up with a special treat for Stargate fans: “PX-75309,” a Stargate parody song by the band Sci-Fried! To hear more and learn about the band, visit them at Sci-FriedBand.com. Happy Holidays, and we’ll see you in 2010!

  • More like disaster in review. The year they killed Stargate.

    That said, thanks for all the hard work D&D in building the site and keeping the bag of cats under control. Never think it's not appreciated. Even by us heretics.

  • Heretic #3 here.. Where'd we go to bitch, moan and complain, if not here? Thanks for having us and giving us also a place to voice our opinion.

  • Thanks D&D for great podcasts and a super great site. (Just checked out the video part the other day - it works great even with my slow connection)
    I'm sort of heretic #4 then because SG1 will always be my first love, after Star Trek. However, I find that SGU is ok-ish and will definitely keep watching.
    It's good to have a site that encompass both SG lovers and SGU non-lovers.
    Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to D&D and all of you.

  • Heretic #5. Think this year is the beginning of the end for the franchise. First Universe, and then MGM went and died. (So, no more DVD Movies.) That said, thanks for Gateworld. We've had many good years of having a great Stargate site to turn to.

  • Heretic #5 signing in also to say thanks to D&D everyone else responsible for this super Stargate web site. We know that all the effort you people put into this site is a labor of love because it shows. Don't let our (we "Heretics") disappointment over the loss of SG-1 and Atlantis and a lackluster Universe reflect on the gratitude we have for all of you and the people at The Bridge Studios. Here's to a better 2010 for all.

  • I echo the sentiment of the previous posts: thanks to Dave & Darren for the site and providing us SG fans with a forum to voice our opinion (regardless of your preference).

  • Really? If you go by the internet, the SGU fans would be the heretics rather than the detractors. Regardless something isn't right because it's popular but it isn't wrong either.

    -@Mentat That's what they said when Atlantis came on, and seasons 9-10 of SG-1.-

    I really liked Atlantis up until the last season, when they drove it into the ground. After such disillusionment all the bad points of the show became apparent. I'm glad it's done.

    p.s. Vegas was a stupid episode.

    SGU's greatest strength is its fresh new direction. Its greatest weakness is its fresh new direction.

  • @Gaeth Different strokes for different, strokes - I thought Vegas was brilliant, probably the best episode of the entire franchise!
