Description

The final Season comes to DVD! In season 10, Vala, a former Goa'uld host turned freedom-fighter, joins SG-1 in their battle to defend the galaxy from the holy war of the Ori. Meanwhile, relations between the Jaffa and Earth continue to be strained. It all comes to a sizzling end on the finale.


If this five-disc, 20-episode, tenth season set really is the end of Stargate SG-1--and considering the number of reprieves the show has already had and the rumors of various movie spin-offs, not to mention the fact that the final installment is entitled "Unending," who knows?--then the folks responsible for this durable sci-fi series can be proud that they finished it off in style, with a run of episodes that are for the most part highly entertaining, exciting, and fun, offering resolution if not complete closure. And if sharks were jumped, at least they were small ones. As was the case in Season 9, and to a large extent in Season 8 as well, original series star Richard Dean Anderson is little in evidence here. Portraying Lt. Col. Cameron Mitchell, Ben Browder, who came to Stargate SG-1 from the underrated Farscape, is now entrenched as leader of SG-1, the Stargate project's ace team in the field, joining series veterans Amanda Tapping, Christopher Judge, and Michael Shanks (as Samantha Carter, Teal'c, and Daniel Jackson, respectively). Most notably, fellow Farscape alum Claudia Black has an ever-expanding role as Vala, whose cheeky wit and irreverence bring a consistent spark to the proceedings. The big, bad villains known as Ori are back as well. We still can't see them--they are, after all, "ascended beings," represented by the blind, monk-like Priors, who roam the universe intoning "Hallowed are the Ori" and ensuring that all will submit to their will (the element of scary religious fanaticism remains as relevant as ever). But the Ori are also still the most implacable, irresistible force our heroes have ever encountered; nothing less than the fate of the entire galaxy is at stake (again)! And now there's an added twist: the Ori have a frontwoman, if you will, whose powers make the Priors look like pikers. Known as Adria (or "the Orici" to believers), this beautiful young woman (played by Morena Baccarin) also happens to be the daughter of Vala, whom the Ori chose to bring their demon seed into the world; the uneasy (to say the least) Adria-Vala relationship provides many intriguing moments. On the minus side, the show tends to break its own rules (for instance, for a character who's supposed to be invincible, Adria often seems awfully, well, vincible), and the commingling of Arthurian legend, Greek, Roman, and Egyptian myth, magic, and other sources is occasionally over-the-top, even for this franchise. Some episodes are plot-heavy, bogged down by too many characters (past bad guys like the Goa'uld, and Ba'al reappear, as do several Stargate Atlantis principals in one episode) or excessive techno-rap about time dilation fields, flux capacitors, and something called the Clava Thessara Infinitas (don't ask). Episodes in which the writers move away from the central Ori theme are less than stellar; "200" exists mostly as an opportunity to make fun of the TV business and is as irrelevant and silly as "Citizen Joe," the worst episode from Season 8. And finally, without revealing details, suffice to say that "Unending," which offers a possible fate for our heroes before totally pulling its punches, may frustrate some longtime adherents. By and large, though, Stargate SG-1 has all the elements--humor, action, great effects, good story-telling and acting, characters you care about--to more than justify its ten-year run. It will be missed. Special features are again bountiful, including audio commentary on all episodes, various featurettes, and five "directors series" entries devoted to particular episodes. --Sam Graham

Summary: Awesome series end

With the team fully back together to fight the Ori in the last season, there was no loss of action and suspense. Although it's nice to see Claudia Black be elevated to a regular cast member this season, there is some lack of depth in the finale episode.

Summary: A Decent Final Season, but Not the End...

When "Stargate SG-1" premiered in 1997, it faced a difficult task. As a spin-off of the successful 1994 blockbuster "Stargate", the show had to continue the storyline, premise, and themes of the film. Yet, television and cinema are two completely different mediums and while SG-1 followed its parent, it also had to establish its own identity and spin-off series. But all good things must come to an end, and as SG-1's final season dawned

The final season opens seconds after the Season 9 cliffhanger. The Ori fleet has come through the Supergate and the combined fleet of Jaffa, Lucian Alliance, Asgard, and Earth ships were not able to halt their advance. Now the Ori Crusade marches unimpeded, conquering and converting the Milky Way's worlds one at a time. Outmanned and outgunned once again, SG-1's only hope is to locate the Sangraal, the weapon developed by the Ancient Merlin and which is capable of wiping out the ascended Ori. But the quest for the device is fraught with mysteries and threats both old and new.

The final episodes are generally good, though the Ori arc is rushed as it was meant to continue on into an 11th Season. The highlight of the entire season is "The Pegasus Project", a crossover that sees SG-1 and the "Stargate: Atlantis" team join forces to deal a crucial blow to the Ori. Other highlights include "200", "The Quest", "The Shroud", "Dominion", and others.

Summary: Throw Away the Last Episode

The Stargate series have always been some of my favorite television, and Stargate SG-1 still stands as one of the finest forms of television entertainment today, despite the fact that most of the Milky Way Galaxy and much of outlaying galaxies happen to speak English and be of Anglo-Saxon stock. But to get back to Season 10, this is the final season -- it is the one for whom the bell tolls, so to speak. And though Ben Browder is a royal pain in the patut (obnoxious is the word I was searching for) the writing redeems all but the last episode, which is lame and pointless. To use it to off the entire Asgard race and to kind of wrap up the Oris (kind of) just made it to much.

In fact, what was the purpose in offing the Asgards, anyway. They were a great addition and no one really believes we're ready to be on our own yet, right?

It's a good series, but the good episodes were really great and the bad ones were really awful.

Hallowed be the Ori!
