If you’re a “Stargate SG1″ fan, you might care about this. I count myself one, even though I’ve stopped tuning into the show since, well, last year. The show, for those who don’t know, is being canceled, and the Powers That Be are making two direct-to-DVD movies as a farewell. Here’s the plot for the first movie, “Stargate: Continuum”: SG-1 attends the execution of Ba’al, the last of the Goa’uld system lords, when Teal’c (Judge) and Vala (Black) inexplicably disappear into thin air. Carter (Tapping), Daniel (Shanks) and Mitchell (Browder) race back to a world where history has been changed: The Stargate program has been erased from the timeline. As they try to convince the authorities of what’s happened, a fleet of Goa’uld motherships arrives in orbit, led by Ba’al; his queen, Katesh (Vala); and his first prime, Teal’c. SG-1 must find the Stargate and set things right before the world is enslaved by the Goa’uld.

Oh drat. While I thought the “Stargate” TV show was kinda lame, it was also kinda fun, so I’m a tad bum to hear that the show has been cancelled by the Sci Fi Channel, which has been footing the bill ever since Showtime, the show’s original moneymen, dumped it a few years back. Now in its 10th (and last) season, the show easily outran the movie of the same name, and was one of those rare occassions where the spin-off was a hell of a lot better than the original. I’ll miss “Stargate SG1″, so in honor of it, here are some of the show’s super babes.

This promo Claudia Black (the former kickass Peacekeeper from the formerly kickassest show on TV, “Farscape”) doesn’t do her justice. Her character on the sci-fi show “SG-1″ is supposed to be a wild and free-spirited thief, a roguish pirate, if you will, except these promos make Claudia look like Little Annie Orphan or something to that effect. (Yes, I’m a sci-fi geek, and I do, in fact, watch this stuff. What of it?) Oh well, it’s Claudia (with Amanda Tapping to boot!), so it’s all good.
