“You have already taken the first steps toward becoming the Fifth Race.”
Jack O’Neill accidentally has the knowledge of the Ancients downloaded into his mind, threatening to end his life … and sending him to a fateful meeting with the Asgard in another galaxy.

I still have to buy the whole series so I can’t participate in this awesome event! I saw all the 10 seasons of SG-1 by hunting websites where I could stream episodes and in a matter of three months I had watched all of them!!!

Yeah, I let it go out on the feed but got busy and didn’t get the notice published till today.
