5 / 5	Unendingly Cool IJ "chasingshadows" (Liverpool, UK) - 27 November 2007 To begin with...season nine of `Stargate: Sg-1' really restored my faith in this series after what felt to me like some below-par seasons. I was never what you'd call a huge fan of this series, but that penultimate season with the introduction of new God-wannabe's and general galaxy troublemakers the Ori really did prove to me the huge talents at work behind the scenes of this fantastically gripping and intelligent sci-fi series. I hoped and willed the tenth and final season to be as impressive, but even though it isn't quite as intense and consistent, it's still a worthy conclusion to a hugely successful TV series. Largely thanks to Vala (Claudia Black) who's as charming as she is side-splittingly, ingeniously, flirtatiously funny and who now becomes a credited member of the main cast, season ten gets off to a brilliant start (much better than season nine in fact) as the action picks up right where the previous season left-off with episode 1- `Flesh and Blood' (9/10) and doesn't decrease in pace for the next four episodes on the first disc, which explore the continued threat of the Ori and their ever-increasing capture and control of worlds unable to mount any effective resistance against such a seemingly omnipotent foe. Episode 3- `The Pegasus Project' (9/10) is also very gripping with a finale that's both surprising and tantalising. The familiar stand-alone episodes then take over until episodes 10- `The Quest, Part I' (8/10) and 11- `The Quest, Part II' (9/10) both of which work well in continuing SG-1's discovery & unravelling of Arthurian-inspired mysteries surrounding their search for a weapon capable of destroying their enemy. Episode 14- `The Shroud' (8/10) sees Daniel in a unique position to deal a crippling blow to the Ori, which is also solid. There were a couple of things that disappointed me about this season however- the first was that there were a few too many stand-alone stories (episode-16 `Bad Guys' (6/10) being the prime example) that didn't contribute to the season's main story-arc. It just felt to me too late in the game to be visiting planets for the first time that weren't under control of, or had never even heard of super-villains the Ori. Secondly, the resistance mounted by the Jaffa and other factions in the galaxy (e.g. the Lucien Alliance) that chose not to join with Earth don't contrast well against the continued efforts of the SG-1 team. In past seasons the story arcs involving the Jaffa in particular (but also the Asgard and Tok'ra) have been just as well-developed and gripping as the story arcs following SG-1, but unfortunately only a couple of episodes concentrate on the Jaffa in this final season. Lastly, while episode 20- `Unending' (10/10) is undoubtedly a wonderful episode- with a story that's not just dramatic, but explores sides to the main characters never seen before, it ends the season with so much unresolved that it's difficult to appreciate this tenth season as it should be appreciated as the final outing of SG-1. Obviously a great deal has been withheld to be used in the TV movie `The Arc of Truth', which I am very much looking forward to and which will hopefully be released on DVD sometime next year, so I can't really complain! An incredibly classy end to a show that has always provided unending enjoyment for viewers everywhere. My thanks to the cast & crew.... Read Full Review »
5 / 5	An excellent end to the TV series Bobsta (UK) - 7 January 2008 This is truly a fantastic season to end Stargate SG-1. It could have gone on for another season as Claudia Black's portrayal of Vala is fantastic and brings much needed light-hearted relief to the proceedings. The highlight episode is '200'. There are some great scenes in it which had me in stitches of laughter. Bring on The Ark Of Truth.
3 / 5	"Please Watch SG Atlantis! Please! PLEASE!" James Uscroft "The Voice in the Wilderness" (UK) - 5 February 2008 SG-1 was, to my mind, one of the four greatest Television Series ever made. It had bad episodes like every other programme. But ever since the series was syndicated half-way through series five, the sheer number of half-baked, cliched and 'Filler' episodes per series has grown beyond all belief. This trend has peaked with series ten and left me feeling bitterly disappointed. I loved the previous series so much that I wish I could give it five stars. But remember, a TV series is not a work of art, it is a cash-cow designed to earn revenue through syndication, advertising and merchandising fees. One minor story line during the ninth and tenth series of SG-1 was that Stargate Command's funding had been cut by 70% in order to free up more resources for the Atlantis project. And having sat through the vast number of 'Filler' episodes in this series, I am almost completely convinced that this storyline was based on fact. All of the writer's and producer's attention was entirely focused on SG Atlantis, because they'll need good ratings to push the programme to series five and beyond. The cross-over episode was yet another attempt to 'Net' the hardcore SG-1 fans. And so whilst the six or seven episodes that actually followed the Ori plotline ran the gammit from great to incredible, the rest of the series is mediocre at best, and there was no 'Ending' of any kind. Don't get me wrong. The final episode of series ten was very good indeed. But having spent the whole series longing for another Grand Finale, the storyline simply tailed off and left me feeling very disappointed. And so whilst "The Ark of Truth" was an incredible film that rounded off the storyline very nicely, in the end, the tenth series only really deserves three stars.... Read Full Review »
3 / 5	Jumped the shark Mr. Russell C. Witheyman "russell22w" - 11 August 2008 By season 10..SG1 was looking tired. The Ori storyline was uninteresting and they prove yet again in this last series that they are nowhere near as interesting as the gou'ld. The stories were looking lame and again not a patch on stuff from series 1-6. The last episode "unending" isnt all that great either and wasnt a great episode for this once great show to finish on. Its not all bad..its still reasonable in places but i'm glad they finally decided to cancel the show as 10 seasons is a lot and any show that goes that long struggles. Check out the first few seasons on dvd as they are the best.... Read Full Review »
