Reviews (6)
Season 1 – 55% – Long-running series from the late 1990s usually have a weaker start and mythological background or character depth usually come later. Stargate SG-1 is no exception. The space adventures in the first episodes are mostly repetitive missions of discovering ancient cultures. However, there are occasionally episodes that go deeper (Cold Lazarus) or hint at mythological possibilities (The Nox, Enigma). The main storyline is clearly designed for many more seasons, so it's possible to catch me on another journey at the moment. Season 2 – 65% – The Tok'ra, the first hints of completely relaxing episodes, and perfect script pieces like Message in a Bottle and The Fifth Race. The evolving mythology, atmosphere, and soundtrack add to the series. Unfortunately, there are occasional weak episodes that make me wonder if it's all just the same show. The journey continues... Season 3 – 75% – Solid genre episodes (Shades of Grey), romance in alternative universes (my personal favorite, Point of View), or as a bonus the genuine Jaffa Joke. And who would have expected that the finale would revolve around the resolution of the Harcesis subplot, delivering a shock during the fight with the coolest enemy yet. Stargate definitively proves that this long journey is worth it. Season 4 – 90% – The golden age, silencing all critics and proving that shows don't use their best ideas right at the beginning. The writers stick to what has been working best so far and, thanks to a solid fan base, they dare to take even more surprising genre leaps. O'Neill and Teal'c have their funniest quotes yet, the mythological twists are at their peak, and memorable episodes appear, such as Upgrades or Window of Opportunity. Adventures have never tasted so sweet. Season 5 – 85% – Pushing the boundaries of the world around Cheyenne Mountain once again. This time the focus is on resolving the Aschen plot, the increasingly complex relationship with the Russian counterparts, and a surprising and original idea in the form of a Stargate-themed series. The greatest advantage is the fact that even at the SGC, irreparable losses sometimes occur, which makes the atmosphere of the whole series more personal. And the arrival of the villain, carefully prepared for almost half the season, promises great things. Season 6 – 85% – The altered main team helps fight against Anubis, regularly restores their reputation, and even returns to the place where it all started years ago. The series finally becomes an adventurous classic, which surprises the most by managing to provide enough stories on a similar theme without falling into long-term repetitiveness. And Teal'c becomes an irresistibly cool character. Season 7 – 85% – A season of contrasts. While there is a great start, there are also unexpectedly bad episodes like Space Race, which make the whole thing seem messy. However, the second half of the seventh year shows the path to the peak and how to get there. No more irrelevant diversions, just an incredible pace towards the gate, where episodes like Grace, Heroes (part 2), and the final Lost City are the best experiences I've had with O'Neill and company. Season 8 – 90% – Something ends, and something begins. Not only with the initial changing of the guard on the command deck, but also with the grand finale closing a beautiful and long era. However, the final sprint, where there isn't time to catch one's breath for six episodes in a row, is worth it – and not just that. What makes the eighth season a fantastic ride is the new challenge for O'Neill, further insight into Samantha Carter's private life, and the subtle closure of long-running side storylines (Kinsey, Maybourne, etc.) as a warning of future major changes. The era of classic series ends here, but the golden age continues. Season 9 – 85% – Without major delays and farewells, a leap into unknown waters. Young blood arrives in the form of Cameron Mitchell and with him a completely new enemy, bringing a new perspective on gate travel and fighting enemies. Stargate, in its old age, deviates from classic sci-fi and delivers what it lightly touched on in several standalone episodes – fantasy. And unsurprisingly, this experiment by the creators works, too. It means not only Ori or Merlin, but also the occasional atmosphere of chivalrous duels or the transformation of classic episodic "village" episodes into episodes crucial for further development. Season 10 – 90% – It almost seemed like the heroes were running out of strength at the very end, but after an uneven first half, the two-parter The Quest delivers an unprecedented fantasy ride, followed by a magnificent final run. The last season has two huge advantages – the first one being Adria. The amazing, fascinating, and stunning Morena Baccarin seems born for this role, and any episode dealing with the highest representative of the Ori is automatically a top-notch acting performance. The second advantage is the final episode, Unending. It doesn't conclude the Ori or the series, but it might be the most emotional episode of the entire series, focusing more on the characters than any other season. Anyone who loves SG-1 shed a tear during this episode. Thank you for ten seasons full of adventures. It wasn't always an easy journey, but it was worth it.

Oh, I don't have Stargate SG-1 rated? The show that rode the wave of popularity of one of Emmerich's best films? That thing that was so awkward at times it was almost impossible to finish an episode? The TV episode that's lucky to have R.D. in it? Anderson (who isn’t anywhere near as good as K.R.) and that a few episodes were interesting? All right, all right, two stars then... But I'll probably never understand the fact that Stargate has become almost as much of a cult as Star Trek or Star Wars.

If Star Trek earned the label of "sci-fi series for intellectuals" among television professionals and reviewers in the 1960s, then Stargate is a series for popcorn-loving audiences who expect light entertainment from a TV show, allowing them to turn off their brains, stretch out on the couch or in a comfy chair, and spend three-quarters of an hour doing nothing. It's naive, sometimes even silly, but in a charming way. It's no coincidence that it spawned a long string of seasons and had a significant commercial impact. Overall impression: 40%.

I rated the series with a boo! at first. After re-evaluating and re-watching all the episodes of the first season, I gave it 2 stars. It's not really my genre at all, but I started up the second season. It was much better than the first. Then the third was better than the second.... and by the fourth series I found I was actually enjoying it a lot. The 10th series thrilled me the most (93%) and made me want to watch the whole thing all over again. The series as a whole is 75%.

The first non-cartoon series that I ever started to watch (if you don’t count the kids good-night show, Krakonoš – Lord of the Forest) and it’s really found a place in my heart. It had style, great actors and characters who I fell in love with when I was little. And now, ten years later, the series is over and I’m just sitting here and remembering. There were great episodes, there were some awful episodes and there were average episodes. The main protagonists came and went (died), and now it’s all over. I know there is still a pretty solid spin-off Atlantis, but it will never be the same. The magic is gone and this is the end. Too bad. I’m gonna miss it. So farewell. P.S.: I’m beginning to think that this series is living its golden years here in the Czech Republic only after it ended. Sometimes I have a feeling that wherever channel I tune into, Star Gate is playing. At least there’s something to watch. Sci-fi fans are having a real feast at the moment. Space adventures are so trendy right now.
