1/25/17. I've been a fan for quite some time and, on occasion, go to SG 1 to find some of the common sense/logic so absent in daily life. The writing has always been good, but I re watched "Heroes" again as was particularly impressed with all the performance of an outstanding script and edit. From Carters eulogy, the voice-over of the finished file in Hammonds office and his response to it is especially impactful. It would be nice if a YouTube clip could be made for current public viewing in light of the recent changes of political administrations. (which is why I dated this). I hesitate to use the word perfect in anything except now.... for this story. Honor, respect, compassion, integrity are all present and palpable. It is so well done it should not be lost to history as it will always be relevant. Thank you.

Just a thought..... They had 2 gates and when the "Ga'ould" would attack by keeping the gate open until it closed after 39 minutes.....why did they not just keep the second gate nearby so they could start dialing out after 38 minutes 30 seconds with the second gate? Seems that would have stopped the attack by continuously opening 1 wormhole as soon as the last one closed.I know that your system says that "Ga'ould" is a spelling mistake but it is the way it was actually spelled."sheesh".....what does it take to get this stupid site to accept a simple comment?

I really love the original Stargate movie. Therefore it was obvious for me, that I should watch Stargate SG-1. And a show with 10 seasons! That promise well, with a lot of depth in characters, worlds etc.But I was disappointed...The first episode was actually quite good. A good successor to the original Stargate movie. The main story is set, the plot is set, and ready to be launch! But after just a few episodes, Stargate SG-1 turns out to be a trivial and boring random-planet-visiting show, with a little or no developing in the main story. And if it have to go on with this for 10 seasons(!) - well, that I don't have patience for.The recipe is the same for every episode. The four main characters arrive to a new planet, something that don't have anything to the main story happen, our group have to solve it, they return, and it all repeats in the next episode. Furthermore, the setting is very bad. No matter which world they are visiting, it is in a forest. It is quite cheap to use the exact same setting for every episode. If they don't have the means to make a proper show, I think they rather shouldn't.I was giving up on the show halfway in Season 1.

Stargate SG-1 starts very well, picking up where the movie ended and keeping the action rolling. The re-casts are excellent, the chemistry well done.It does start positively dark with humans acting from a position of desperation while trying to uphold some moral standard.However during the cause of the series - the show degrades - up to and including a point well past its sell date - so to speak. When the humans grow stronger, the enemies become weaker - and new enemies, while quite strong - just don t do it just as well as the original ones, the show becomes kind of a chore.It all breaks down past season 7 - along with a recast of the lead roles. At that point it becomes kind of aimless. While the Ori are a good enemy in terms of lore, the storytelling just is not as good as it used to be - and the characters are too archetypal, too one-sided-cartoonish.in retrospect it may have done the series well to close the goa uld story much much earlier - and expand on the ancient / ori story a lot more.
