      Is this mike on?
      
      OK, that was such a mewling newbie-ish thing to do. <eg>
      
      OTOH, a message I sent two days ago never showed up. 
      
      I hate it when that happens.

      Bulgaria?)(There!)(A real OBHLR)(Weak but sufficient for my purposes.)

      I've been wondering if there is a Highlander-Stargate SG-1 crossover.
      I've become a big fan of SG-1 and, especially, Daniel Jackson, and
      I would love it if Sci-Fi would change its mind and renew the series.

      I'm sure there are, although I've never gone looking for any. I had an
      idea for a story where it would be discovered that Immortals were
      people who had Goa'uld DNA, which would explain why they live
      so long, heal fast, yadda. But I was too lazy to actually write it. :)
      
      Stargate has been on for 10 years! That's a LOOOONNGGG time
      for any series, let alone a science fiction series. When the news first
      broke, some people on a forum I'm on were like, "Eh, so what, I
      haven't liked it since O'Neill left." But I liked Mitchell a lot - he's
      very different from O'Neill (whereas Sheppard is pretty much
      O'Neill with a bit less cynicism and darker hair!) and I love his
      and Daniel's relationship. (Loved how he woke poor Daniel up
      on the Odyssey! "Wake up, Sunshine..." Heh - the scene that
      launched a thousand slashfics.)
      
      But the show does feel a bit tired. I mean, did we really need another
      all-powerful bad guy? What's wrong with local stuff - there are still
      some system lords out there; we've yet to meet the Furlings (I bet
      they are NOTHING like Ewoks!). I mean, there are billions of
      stars in our galaxy, wasn't that enough? Stupid Ori. I hate them.
      Now, instead of the show seeking out new planets and learning
      about them, every episode is another exercise in depression: "The
      Ori are going to kill us in the end." Yeah, THAT'LL get people to
      keep watching!
      
      I love Stargate and am certainly bummed that it got cancelled. But
      these last two seasons have felt like a long, drawn-out wake. (No
      fault on the part of Ben Browder, who has done a great job.)

      To Wendy: I've also posted a message once in a while (a very
      long while) that didn't show up. Shows you how much I cared
      that I never bothered to repost them! I second you, though:
      Bulgaria?! They should come to South Africa, where there's
      beautiful scenery, lovely bright light and the occasional
      criminal who escapes from court while still wearing leg-irons...
