I couldn't agree more, Nicole. Great set-up in both, and very disappointing
second half. Frankly I can't understand why Stargate has achieved cult
status, so much so that a TV series just started on Showtime. I thought it
was pretty lame.
Maybe someone on this list can explain it. Why is Stargate so popular?
