I bought it simply for Jim Butcher's "Artificial Intelligence and Genuine Stuipidity" piece in the book. I'm really not into Stargate SG-1.

I agree with another reviewer--Daniel is NOT a sidekick. The authors don't take themselves too seriously, which is good because Stargate didn't, either. Written mostly at the end of season 7, with one entry for season six.

Started reading this recently as I am in the middle of a Stargate marathon. Forgot how brilliant the book is. Short essays and quite a lot of things to think about. I disagree with David Gerrold in one of the essays, on account of Daniel being a sidekick though.

Truly fascinating group of essays on Stargate, its fandom, anything...any fan should read it.

Definitely for the Stargate fan, but then, who else would have picked up this book? :-)
