Over the past couple of years, you've probably seen quite a few wishes from me involving Star Trek.
Star Trek The Next Generation, Star Trek The Original Series, Star Trek Micro Machines, Star Trek Voyager, for Mommy D, a Klingon Dagger...
Well, sufficed to say, many have identified me with his particular aspect of Science Fiction, when in fact, I am a fan of a number of different Sci-Fis. The thing is, however, up until now, for as long as you've known me, there has been someone else covering the other major Sci-Fi TV franchise in my house. Some of you may remember my roommate, jaymesthegreat, alias NES. Well, he's finally finished moving out, which means I have been left without access to his portion of the DVD collection. Mainly, his box set of Stargate SG-1.
SG-1 ran for 10 seasons, making it the longest running Science Fiction series of all time, surpassing even my beloved Next Generation. And while I am in my heart a Trekkie, I must admit, I certainly see the appeal of this unique approach to the social commentary, that the Sci-Fi genre was built on. Perhaps the most appealing part about the series is that instead of taking place far off in space, and in the distant future, it takes place right now, in the NORAD facility, beneath Cheyenne Mountain. It is therefore able to provide a more direct comparison between the fictional aspects of the story, and the world events that have inspired them.
Right now, the second series in the Stargate franchise is coming to an end, and soon enough, I will be wanting to get my hands on it. However, first I really ought to have the original, that got me hooked so many years ago. (more)

Good luck!!
Peter I love Stargate too! I swear we were meant to be friends! LOL My SIL has the whole series so I borrow hers when I need a fix. ::grins::
I agree on all points. And I must say, Robert Picardo has made himself into one of my favourite Sci-Fi actors. the Doctor was by far my favourite on Voyager, and Woolsey was great from the beginning.
