Top Ten 50th EDITION List! The GOLDEN Top Ten, If you will!!!!

Author's Note: Well, let me preface this list with a BIG apology. See, all the end of semester projects, papers, and presentations got to me. Throw in Thanksgiving and then the actual week of finals, and I didn't get any outside writing done what-so-ever! I'm terribly sorry to have left this fic lie so long, especially in the crucial weeks of the series winding down. So, this is my HEARTFELT apology to all you lovely readers and your patience that I tried. Sorry.

SECONDLY! This is IT SGA fans! The big FIVE OH chapter! Wow guys, who's excited? Well, Port of Seas was my lovely 300th reviewer and as such, requested something befitting of such an incredible chapter number; something "epic" that covered Villains, Episodes, Heroes, Reasons why Stargate Rocks…….

Without further ado…..Drum roll please.

**s*g*a**

Dum. Dum. Dadadadadadadadada DUMMMMMMM!

**s*g*a**

Top Ten Villainous I'm-Gonna-Take-Over-(The-insert location here)-Plots That Make Heroes Shine and Prove Why We LOVE Stargate! (Not a chance this title would EVER fit in the chapter box.)

10.(Atlantis.) Force is not always necessary. Every heard of chemical warfare? Does ingesting an addictive personality pheromone count? It certainly worked for a while and was an effective ploy by Lucius. Pity it was a cold that brought that one down. Good thing *someone* just *happened* to be sick. Riiigghtt.

9. (A Senior Staff's mind/body.) This seems to be a popular one: Those pesky replicators tried the whole mind thing with Elizabeth. Yeah, that worked well for Niam. There's always the body route. The black-box-alien-fighter-pilot-enemy-couple-with-issues (from season two) sort of worked. What's her face, controlling Elizabeth, did manage to control the city for a bit. BUT, the creepy alien plant thing that took over Keller is another option….or the alien entity that took Shep's likeness and killed Dr. Heightmeyer….or…

8. (A Jumper.) Technically Larrin's way of taking a Jumper was a highly effective way of taking control. Pity the whole control thing did not work out so well on its pilot. It did send a message of "I'm totally going to manipulate you though, so you do what I want. See, first I'll take your puny little ship…….."

7. (The Galaxy.) Who's tried this? Well, the wraith have been at it for how many years? Too many. If they haven't done it by now, what are the odds of them succeeding? Of course, there's always the copy-cat Replicator plan of simply destroying all humans so they are in control.

6. (The Stargate.) Because really, the wraith do that *all* the time. It cuts off the inhabitants and causes mass confusion. But when the Replicators do it, throw in a massive-souped-up-and-deadly laser beam, well, then we get to see Atlantis fly.

5. (Atlantis.) Again. By Michael and the pilfered jumper. Oh, and only a handful of hybred minions. Sure, that'll do the trick. He's home free now!

4. (The SGC.) Awesome stun shock wave anyone? Plus the two most kick-butt "good-guys" get to take back the place. Those pesky Wraith do not stand a chance. Ronon and his gun seriously are equivalent to a small army. And Teal'c? Well, even without a cool gun he still is more formidable than a small army.

3. (Midway.) Sneaky turds those wraith are. Yes, let's take control of the most efficient doorway to a galaxy full of food, erm people, full of people. But, let's not completely wipe out all resistance before sending part of our forces onward.

2. (The Daedalus.) More mass stunning, guerilla resistance, well placed gunfire, and sneaky hyperspace jumping foiled Todd's plan that time. Those darn meddlin' kids.

1. (Atlantis.) Again-Again. Silly Kolya and his inept Genii rookie strike force. Funny how "one dot can sure get rid of a whole bunch of other dots." Talk about takin' care of business.

Pure and simple genius sports, *cough* Stargate fans. I really learned everything about tactics I needed to from watching the folly of our favorite foes.

**s*g*a***

We'll see how many I can crank out before the end of the show, because that's when I'm putting this fic to rest. Maybe. MAYBE, I might revive it for a list or two depending on how well a movie version plays out. Just a friendly update--Lemons
