    Hi, I'm Scott, and I'm a Gateaholic. I've been addicted for many, many years now. Stargate has become a way of life for me. And now I'm turning my Dad into one too. He's in his sixties, and has never been too much into sci-fi, but my addiction finally got to him.

      no... they don't actually watch the show the show... they just make sure they know who the characters are and their personalities, so if i talk about a certain scene, they can be like, "but that doesn't sound like Jack..." or "Daniel did what?"

      it's a common curtesy thing we have going... my friends consist of goths, gays, punk rockers, whiggers, anime freaks, and deep south natives... we're very diverse and our convos can be bout just about anything.... literally...

      and i wouldn't call my condition chronic just yet... maybe when i loose interest in anime/manga ((my only love greater than stargate.... but i know more bout SG cause it's such a narrow topic compared))

        I was watching Stargate today, the six o'clock episode, on SciFi and at the end I clapped soflty like I do because I thought it was funny and sometimes instead of laughing I just clap ... ::Looks down shamefully:: So my mom asked, "What were you clapping for?" and when I explained to her that Jack was acting strangely and he was kind of forced into retirement and Daniel went over his house to see how Jack was taking retirement and Jack basically told him that they aren't friends, never were, and Daniel never truely knew him and Daniel left ... it comes out in the end that it was all made up to rat out a mole. Jack says to Daniel, something like, "I really appreciated your coming to see me, that truely touched me ..." and Daniel says, "Um, no, actually, we picked straws. I lost."

        Right, my point. When I told my mom that she covered her face and tried to keep herself from screaming in disbelief and laughing/hyperventilating. She didn't even see the episode and she got it! At eight I ran out to see the 9th season Stargate episode, that I already saw, and she actually laughed at Mitchell's sarcasm! She doesn't even LIKE Mitchell!

          Hi my name is Autumn and I am a Gate-a-holic. My mom thinks that I am nuts for being a gatehead. Unfortunitly, (or fortunitly (SP)) i think, that I have turned my mom into one slowly but surely......and I have turned my grump (grandpa) into one too....althought I have to tell him that McGyver is on it for him to watch it......

          All I have to say is that STARGATE IS MY LIFE!!!!!!!

          If I don't watch an episode for at least a day, I go through withdrawl......even though I have all eight seasons on dvd....man I have got it bad......and repeat lines to myself......plus play episodes in my head when I am sitting in class or at work.........

              Pfft... i can't tear my 'rent's away from their Indian Soaps long enough to even think about programs that are originally in english.... I swear, if the India makes a hindi version of SG, i'm going frakkin nuke them... they've already made their own versions of ER, Full House, Boy Meets World, and few other american soaps.... it's infuriating... Bollywood movies aren't even original anymore... >.< ohgod, bad image of Hindi version SG movie... to paint a piccy, *all* Hindi movies are musicals, there's atleast a min of three songs per movie....

                  Lmao, so I guess that kind of puts us SG fans in the nutty crumb covered booth with the sports fans...though I think our side would be a bit cleaner. I'm always yelling at the TV...especially this S9 I think. Never yelled so hard in me life. Yes, general TV watching with me is a cacophany of groans, moans, indignant shouts, mutters of anger, snickers, snorts, scoffs, guffaws, choking laughs and occasionally a fine spray of whatever I happen to be drinking in an outward direction.

                  Hehe, My friends and I were arguing about something quite irrelevent one day and I suddenly said "Kegalo Tauri! (silence humans) You're all such a pain in the Nikta, for cryin out loud!" Seriously, I said that. Needless to say I think they're all a little more scared of me now.

                      when i get frustrated i yell, "oh for crying out loud"

                      when people think i talk 'bout stargate alot i think of the are mik'tas.....

                      i hate it when people compare stargate to star trek. 1. stargate is in the NOW 2. star trek is in the future on a ship 3. stargate you go through a stargate to other worlds that have dead cultures DUH HELLO

                        Obviously, you didn't get the sly reference that I was making. Oh well.
                        "The Clarke Postulate - One's ability to correctly explain advanced theoretical thermodynamics as applied to string theory within a fictional context is directly related to one's ability to cook the perfect lemon chicken with mushrooms in a nice garlic butter sauce. While some use this unexpected correlation as proof of intelligent design, I believe that its all about the person's choice of mushrooms.

                        I also believe that there is a tear developing in the space-time continuum which if left uncheck will allow Microsoft to become a world power. I suspect that unless we all download Firefox 3 on the same day, thus sealing the tear, that life as we know it may be over and children will have their teddy bears and blankets ripped mercilessly from their arms.

                              I hate being called a newbie but in this case ... I really am one so I thank you for the welcome. I'm afraid I'm going to be a newbie for quite sometime as there's eight seasons yet for me to catch up on But I'm looking forward to all eight

                              Thanks again for the welcome,

                                My freinds, family, almost everyone I know knows about my addiction to SG! I have serious problem, SG's about all I do. I dont watch much tv anymore cause I'm always on GW when I've got the time. And I CANT WAIT ALL THOSE WEEKS TILL S2 AND S9 CONTINUE!!!! *hyperventilates*
                                Must calm down...must calm down..must calm down...
