The long-run Stargate fan convention Gatecon marked its twentieth anniversary this weekend, with a series of online events — culminating in a star-studded and highly entertaining reunion.
The assembled gathering of nearly two dozen actors, crew, and fans told stories of their memories of Stargate, as well as 20 years of convention-going. GateWorld’s own David Read hosts. The full reunion stream runs for just under 90 minutes. Scroll down to watch the whole thing below!

We want an ATLANTIS good ending or at least an ending.
