The End of an Era
I remember the original Stargate SG-1 movie and while it was good, I think Richard Dean Anderson and Daniel Shanks made a better team than Kurt Russell and James Spader. Stargate offered an exciting journey to distant lands in a blink of an eye and the journey was usually quick, saving more time for adventure.

But after season 8, Stargate got too familiar, always fighting the Gu'ald. The addition of Ben Browder and Claudia Black seemed too reminiscent of Farscape. But the addition of the Ori as a new formidable opponent made the series sizzle again!

Season 10 continues Stargate SG-1's battle against the Ori, one of the most powerful enemies ever concocted. The search for Merlin's weapon against the Ancients that would also destroy the Ori leads one on a quest where even the Gu'ald team up with the SG-1 team to help defeat the Ori. The Ori can transform humans into their oracles and spokesmen and it is interesting to see Daniel Jackson as an Ori. But buy the DVD...

Spectacular final season of a great series
Season 10 marks the final trips through the Stargate for our beloved characters. Season 9 marked a change to the series with the departure of a major cast member and the addition of three. As well as a new enemy. It's a shame we won't have any more regular adventures on Fridays with SG-1 but you won't be disapointed in these final 20 episodes. Many series arent given a proper ending, (Farscape anyone?) but SG-1 got it. You won't be disapointed. It has been one hell of a ride.

A fun and dignified final season to Sci-fi longest continuously running series
Warning! Many spoilers!

Additional Warning: Thanks to Canadian and British television, the final episodes of STARGATE SG-1 have already been shown through much of the world. The following review is based on having seen everything including the series finale.

And so after an amazing ten year run, STARGATE SG-1 comes to a dignified end. Sorta. Plans for a couple of TV movies are already in the works, so the plot ends that are left somewhat open at the end of the series will probably be resolved at that time. It is hard at this point to know what the show's legacy will be. It never received the critical acclaim that series like FARSCAPE, BATTLESTAR GALACTICA, FIREFLY, or even BABYLON 5 received, and one can't point to specific ways that it has altered or molded other Sci-Fi series, but simply being around for a decade is unprecedented in Sci-fi. Yeah, DR. WHO has been around longer, but its presence has been far more episodic and it has sometimes been prey...
