Wow.
Although, part of me thinks I should feel worse about this than I actually do. I've been in the SG-1 fandom since the beginning. One of my fics is one something like the third update that ever happened at Area 52. I fell in love with this show. And then I fell out of love. I got fed up of what seemed like the constant Jack/Sam moments, I couldn't believe the guys who produced this show had said that they thought Daniel's arc was over when Sha're died, and yes, I thought RDA all but telephoned in his part from about season six onwards.
When Atlantis was announced I thought it would be terrible. And then I watched 'Rising' and found myself falling in love all over again. Unlike SG-1, I liked all the characters - each of their strengths and their flaws. I'd only watched the first episode of season nine of SG-1 when 'The Pegasus Project' was going to happen. So I mainlined season nine and the first two episodes of season ten. And I found myself doing something I didn't think would happen. I found myself liking the show again. I adore Ben Browder in this - even if I do think Mitchell should have been slapped for threatening the Chief Science Officer of Atlantis with oh-so-humorously deadly anaphylaxis.
This show has given me laughter, it's given me tears (sitting in![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
temaris's flat watching 'Meridian'), and it's given me a lot of wonderful people who I've met through the fandom. (It's also given me batshit insane crazies, but I tend to avoid the Jack/Sam shippers *evil grin*) It's had its ups and downs, but I guess that's the same with all relationships - you take the bad with the good.
It's been ten years, which is a hell of a lot more than other shows got (WB, I'm looking at you, you fuckers). We got some good times and some good fic (telepathic beagles notwithstanding). Maybe it's time to raise the glass and say "cheers".
