Stardate 03.12.2021.A: In Memoriam - Cliff Simon

One of the hardest tasks in maintaining SciFiHistory.Net is, sadly, having to note the passing of time along with the passing of some we've come to know -- even in small ways -- on this great journey that's called "life."  Each and every time I'm reminded -- much like Star Trek's Jean-Luc Picard said in the movie Star Trek: Generations that there are fewer years ahead of me than behind -- that all of this is fleeting.  In the end, these small moments perhaps don't matter much, unless we've spent a fair amount of effort commemorating the stops along the way.

I'm not Stargate's biggest advocate.  I've mentioned before that I just quite didn't 'get' into the show during its run on premium cable and the SciFi Channel (now Syfy).  I caught episodes from time-to-time; but it was honestly only just earlier this year that I binged my way through all of Season One.  There were some small gems in there.  I've always enjoyed good characters, but I struggle with stories that are either too routine or too overcooked ... and I found much of SG-1 a bit thin on the bones.  Still, I'll persevere as time permits and continue the journey.

Alas, the beloved franchise has lost another: Cliff Simon.  With twenty-six professional credits to his name, the SciFi saga was definitely one of his biggest accomplishments in genre, with appearances in fifteen episodes as well as the Stargate: Continuum telefilm.  Fans have flocked to the Information Superhighway with stories of their memories with him, so much so that it's clear that the actor was dear to Stargate fandom.

As I always point out, we'll always have the time on flickering images to remember him by.  Make sure to wish the man godspeed when you can today.
