"I think the best comparison is number of broadcast mintues. At 200 episodes at the 43 minute mark, SG-1 comes in at 8600 minutes."

Cos nobody else did it:

Doctor Who had one season every year from 1963-1989. During those 26 years there were 679 episodes of around 25-minutes and 15 episodes of around 45-minutes making a total of 17,650 minutes.

i watched eureka (which is great, my new favorite show)then watched the 'trailer' show for the 200th episode. again, great. then the 200th episode..bar none the funniest show i have seen in a VERY long time. i haven't laughed so hard..my god, it was hilarious! thank you, thank you, thank you ! L

For the record... Imhotep was dealt with in the fifth season episode "The Warrior".

:)

All I can say is "Thank god Jack's back!!!!!!!"

I saw another preview thing where the last shot is of O'Neill getting married to somebody (It went by really fast, and the bride was obviously veiled anyway.)...hmm...

Technically Imhotep was not a god, although he was deified by the people. Imhotep was a scientist, architect and physician (as well as a few other titles). His architectural theories actually lead to construction of the famed pyramids in Giza. After he died, there were cults that formed and worshipped him like a god.

I'm not sure if Vala has met Jack, but in "Avelon Part I" they both apear as guest stars. I feel like she did at some point early on, but I'm not 100% sure.

if u look at the original stargate movie, o'neil has several military certificates on the walls in his home and he even looks at a few while thinking of his son. his name is spelled o'neil on all his certificates. i know he says o'neil with two l's in the series but hey just pointing that out.

These comments are cracking me up! Ok, he spelled it wrong. Did someone die as a result? As far as longest running...maybe it'd be better to say "north american"

Anyway, your commentary cracked me up. The episode looks like crack!fic...on acid. I'm looking forward to it. I'm sure to the die-hards it'll be a total waste of time but then, if I wanted "serious" sci fi, I'd watch Battlestar Galactica DVDs.

What Stargate-SG1 has brought to us is an education of the ancient Egyptian culture. They have used virtually every god in Egyptian culture, both good and evil. The only one I don't remember is Imhotep. But we had two movies with him as the bad guy (The Mummy and The Mummy Returns). Maybe we should enjoy the show for entertainment value and quit worrying if O'Neill is two "L"'s or not. Whoever wrote the first page of this should know Carter is a LIEUTANT COLONEL not a MAJOR. See you at the 200th party.
