Just to comment on the comments....
Ratings for "200": I think they'll be up but not in the 2.0 range - probably more like 1.7-1.8. And they will hopefully show a fabulous "next on Stargate" at the end if they want those ratings to carry any momentum to the next week. ( btw: I'm open to "200" - I think it's either going to be a hoot or cringeworthy but either way I'm not planning on missing it
Future of SG-1: I think it's likely SG-1 will be cancelled, with the promise of a mini-series in the future (probably featuring RDA). They've been fighting budget issues and with the decline in the ratings - well it may depend on how much either of the parties (Scifi / MGM) are willing to renegotiate. But just a guess - I don't know much about that sort of stuff.
But if SG-1 does continue in some form it could possibly take some time off and then be retooled as a new show - maybe "Stargate Command". Perhaps with Mitchell, Vala, Landry and a whole new cast of characters. IF Ben and Claudia want to stay on. I think the only reason they'd ask MS to stick around is if they plan on continuing the Ori storyline and because of Daniel's connection to Vala. But I think it's doubtful - they'll be cutting costs and need some cheaper actors. And MS sounds itchy to move on anyway.
They've had a great run. Whatever problems I've had with the show in the last several years it's given me a lot of enjoyment for a long time. Very few shows end on top of the ratings or at their peak creatively. Heck I can't remember the last time I watched a show all the way to its final episode/cancellation. Oh wait, I can.....Farscape......but that's only because I had just discovered and fallen in love with it. Because otherwise I might have quit watching in the dismal first half of S4. Although I was glad I stuck around because I enjoyed the last half of S4.
ETA: Oh I forgot.....my other big prediction. If SG-1 is retooled into Stargate Command - there could be a different showrunner and probably some news writers..
I'm hardly ever right so you can pretty much count on everything I just said being wrong.
