Hi Darren!
I love this idea soooo much!! It accomplishes so many things: (1) Gives fans an organized opportunity to watch the shows we love all over again "together"; (2) Introduces new folks to this great series; and (3) Gives GateWorld a boost too! ;-) (I think I had other points in mind while I was reading through the thread, but now I've forgotten. Oh well.)
This idea reminds me of how I came to know about Stargate in the first place. When the show first made the move to the "Sci-Fi" channel, they did a similar thing of "Watch it from the beginning" to catch up to where the new episodes were at the time. We first watched because we saw RDA was in it, but kept watching because it was a great show! Then, somehow, I started looking around the 'net for more info on the show and discovered GateWorld, and the Forum, and met great people who became online friends, and then even had the privilege of meeting many of those friends in person! It probably sounds corny, but I've never experienced anything like that with ANY other show I've followed in the past, so Stargate will always be special to me in that way.
Well, this is far too long - sorry - I tend to be a sentimental sort and this whole idea of bringing the SG fanbase "together again" just brings out the mushiness in me. *blush* So, welcome to the new folks, and I look forward to hanging out in the Forum once again for hopefully fun discussions and sharing memories!
Thanks again, Darren & GW Crew - you're the best!!
