7. Actually i believe it's good that they didn't over do the rerun thing.
This is just me but if i see too much of a show it kills it for me. Like when fx ran the buffy reruns four times a day awhile back. In all seriousness though I think it had something to do with the season 2.1 dvd comming out.

9. Granted
4 times a day is excessive. But, why not repeat the show again in it's regular Friday at 10pm time slot? At least allow viewers one chance to catch up with the season.

8. 'Cause Sci-Fi really doesn't really give a crap...
...about any show they air unless it has "Stargate" in the title.
Nine seasons? Nine long, tedious seasons that should have ended at five or six.
Half the original cast has left the show (killed off or promoted) and the other half is phoning in their performances.
And looky looky...we've got Ben Browder and Claudia Black from your favorite canceled sci-fi show Farscape!
Isn't that neato? Never mind the fact that Browder seems to be playing the clone of John Chrichton on the show, (which makes me think
that Browder doesn't have much of an acting range these days. He was much better on Farscape.

Looky here! We don't take ourselves too seriously! Yay for science fiction! It's NEATO! Ooh....'splosions!!! Boom!!! Pow!!!

Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis are perfect examples of why science fiction isn't taken too seriously on television.
For every X-Files or Babylon 5 or Battlestar Galactica (the new one) that exists to bring a new level of thinking to the genre,
there's a Stargate SG-1 to tear it down. (Which is a pity, becuase I rather enjoyed Stargate SG-1 for the first few seasons. Maybe it was because they were actually trying. Either that, or my tastes in sci-fi have changed over the years.)

And Sci-Fi promotes the hell out of those two shows, while giving Galactica half as much promotion. Despite that, the show's thriving.
The channel does show the ads, but they sure have run this current season of Stargate SG-1, what, three or four times already? I wish Galactica
got that kind of rerun schedule on the channel. The show's good enough to go to network television, honestly.

Like I said, Sci-Fi (and most other networks) don't give a crap. Look at what they did to Farscape.
Look at what Fox did to Firefly.
TNT's treatment of Crusade was just as shameful.
