To celebrate the UK release of Stargate Universe: The Final Season (out on DVD this week) we thought we’d track down the world’s biggest Stargate super-fan… and we found one right here in the UK!
Stargate superfan Claire Cowan has spent over £12,000 on merchandise from the long-running franchise and travelled the country – even the world – to add to her ever-growing obsession. Besides owning her very own own Stargate she has also shed weight to fit into the costumes of her favourite character Colonel Samantha Carter, as played by Amanda Tapping.
