Heh, it's pretty funny that most of my HP people aren't writing about HP for this question. (I didn't either!) As I told someone else, HP canon is great for its world building and character creation and for everything that it has the potential to be (thus the size and longevity of the fandom); it's not really something that's steeped in incredible, unforgettable moments. Which isn't to say that it doesn't have any memorable bits... but it's more the sum total, the general essence that we love than it is the specifics, I think.
I'm an SGA person rather than an SG-1 person, but YAY STARGATE anyway. XD
It's true, I've seen it. It's the world, the possibilities, that it brings, and the winsome characters. But no specific canon moment is best and brightest. Really, it's the painful ones that stick with one the most, isn't it?
I'm the Stargate snob who hasn't seen much SGA because I just couldn't let go of SG1 lmao. I do plan to see it at some point because i've read enough fic (my friend is a fan and I betaed for her) and seen some of it, and it's been long enough I don't have a bias anymore.
I didn't at all dislike SG1. It was a good show. It just never really grabbed me somehow. The dynamics between the characters in SGA, on the other hand, sucked me in right away and never let me go. I haven't been into a TV show in that must-watch-the-newest-episode-immediately, gimme-all-the-fic kind of way since SGA ended. If I hadn't stumbled into HP fandom first, I likely would have ended up in SGA fandom. But there was no way I could have managed two large fandoms at the same time. o_O (But I can totally understand being all sour grapes about SG1 ending, because of course any huge fan would be!)
I think, if the switch hadn't been so quick to SGA, i would have been fine jumping on board. But it was a bit of sour grapes at the time. Someday i'll find time to sit down and marathon (and probably love) SGA though.
OMG I LOVE SUE!!! Also, Tyrannosaurus BOB! Hee. :D I was stuck in traffic when I first heard that scene, and I was laughing so hard and fist-pumping and cheering that people near me were looking at me very strangely, LOL.
