In just 2 days, on May 9, 2015, the 70th anniversary of the Victory in Europe and the Liberation of Prague, all of us here in GW mark not just the 4th anniversary of the series finale of Stargate Universe and the end of Stargate in television, but also the anniversary of the very day the GW Forum had its most number of users.
When Stargate opened its doors on television none of us expected that it would reach the heights to where it is now. Within a span of 13 years and 10 months, the legend grew from vision to vision, and from strength to strength, with a growing number of supporters and admirers all over the globe. Till it ended on May 9, 2011, on a very day the fandom will never ever forget, the Stargate franchise on TV was indeed unforgettable.
All of us, old and new members alike, will never ever forget the final scenes of SGU on that very night that GW hit the most number of users. As the curtain began to be dropped, the campaign by fans of the franchise on Facebook began to hit momentum, and in the months and years that followed those loyal fans faced attacks on them by the network leadership, and their accounts on FB were removed and blocked, but they stood strong.
This Saturday, we reflect on this final episode that marked the end of Stargate on television, recalling the best moments, and with great humility remembering these great years that will be forever part of television history. Because all of us here in GW were and are indeed, a part of this legacy. A legacy that will one day return to the movies and on television, and is calling us back today.. to see and feel where the Destiny is heading. Next.
And that legacy is calling us back again to the great Cheyenne Mountain in Colorado Springs, for as the US Air Force is now getting ready to go back in the midst of the resurgence of tensions similar to those seen in the Cold War, may we too, one day, hope to see the Gate on our television screens, opening itself and being reactivated... once again.
