Recently, Chris Boulton blogged about Unending, the final ever TV episode of Stargate SG1. Since Stargate has been a part of my TV life for such a long time I thought I should also say something myself.

Although I was sad to hear of the end of the show, I was pleased to hear that for once, the world premier of the final episode would air here in the UK. We often seem to be behind over here, but not this time. Unfortunately, due to a fall out between Sky and newly formed Virgin Media, of whom my family are customers, we lost access to the Sky One channel which was showing the premier, just two weeks before it aired. Thankfully, I was able to see the episode through someone else, and what an episode it was!

I’m not into spoilers, so I wont give any away, but you must see this episode. I was unintentionally exposed to some spoilers about the episode a short while ago (thanks again Gateworld!) and must admit I was worried at first. The concept for the episode didn’t strike me as a fitting way to end such an outstanding ten years. How mistaken I was! It’s a story that ties a few loose ends whilst not completely wrapping up the storyline with the Ori. What’s more, is the nature of the story allows for a fair bit of character interaction, which many will say is what helped the show become so popular in the first place.

The episode had it’s fair share of sacrifice and sadness, but overall, it was a fantastic way to bring the TV series to an end. Also, I think a few things have been setup quite nicely for the upcoming movies and fourth series of Atlantis. If you’ve seen the episode, you probably know what I mean. If not, I’ll not give it away.

Here’s to the end of an era.
