I wished Season 8 of Stargate SG-1 was the final season.

I'm betting I'm not the only one who wasn't the biggest fan of Season 9 and Season Two that looked like seasons of a Stargate spinoff series. It's just I wished Stargate SG-1 had ended with Season 8 because everything in that season felt like this was it. This was the season where everything comes to an end. The conflict with the Goa'uld. The conflict with the Replicators. The unresolved romantic tension of the Jack-Sam relationship. If the season had ended with Threads and instead of Moebius, it would have left the show on a perfect note. No, we didn't see Jack and Sam hook up but it at least left us with some hope they will with their romantic partners out of the way and their feelings for each other closer to the surface than before.

There were hints at least from Sam at the start of season nine that she was going out with Jack...or at least that is what I got from comments she made. Season Eight would have been a good season to wrap things up. I enjoyed season nine but felt season ten was pushing it a little. I liked Ben Browder as Cam Mitchell thought he brought an interesting and fresh dynamic to the group as did Claudia Black as Vala.

I loved seasons nine and ten, and I thought the Ori arc was really well executed. Yeah it was a new beginning (and IIRC they even planned at one point to rename the show "Stargate Command"), but since when is that a bad thing? I loved the new characters and the exploration of a post Goa'uld galaxy.

If they'd tried to carry on without Jack or George as if nothing had changed at all (like when Sam replaced Dr Weir), that would have sucked. As it was they treated is as a new beginning, and IMO that worked great.

I didn't think there were any more bad episodes than there were during any of the other seasons .

I also liked Seasons 9 and 10. To me the quality stayed pretty good. If it wasn't called SG-1, but was called Stargate Command or something else, would your opinion change?

 

[Joe Washington]

Not really. It would have still undermined the ending of Threads.

 

[OmahaStar]

No. If we allow your stupid "what if?" to happen, we lose the episode "Ripple Effect."

Ripple Effect gave us Ben Browder in his underwear, and the potential for a Cam/Jackson romance in one of the alternate universes, and you want to just do away with that? No. Your stupid "what if?" is vetoed.

For me, Stargate: SG-1 did end with Season 8. Everything that came after is Tales From the Gate, stories that may or may not have happened that I do not have to watch. I like "The Pegasus Project," "The Shroud," and "200." Most of the rest I can do without.

However, those who liked the post-Season 8 output can enjoy those episodes and movies all they want, so everybody wins. There are at least 10 viable ending spots for the Stargate franchise that I can think of, which is pretty good for any series.

 

[Robert Maxwell]

If you didn't like seasons 9 and 10, you're perfectly welcome to consider 8 the end of the series and ignore everything that came after.

Don't Star Trek fans pretty much do the same thing when they're "TOS purists" or whatever?

 

[Admiral_Young]

OmahaStar...you keep dissing Joe's what if threads yet you keep posting in them yourself. If you can't stand them which is obvious ignore them.

I won't pretend that seasons 9 and 10 were as good as earlier years, but after watching them again on DVD I can say I liked it more than the first time around on tv.

The Ori storyline was a better direction than simply rolling out another Goa'uld and potentially undermining all the good of Reckoning and Threads.

The unresolved romantic tension of the Jack-Sam relationship.

God that bored me.

I loved seasons nine and ten, I consider them two of my favourite seasons, ten in fact being the only one of the entire run that I watch over and over on dvd (the others I may watch once or twice over a year).

Threads should have been the end, The End.

 

[Quinton O'Connor]

Hell no, I loved the last two seasons.

I didn't hate Seasons 9 and 10. But they could have been better. I didn't hate Landry, but I think they could have done better. Mitchell was okay. And while Valla could be annoying she could also be amusing.

What I didn't like was that it took a film to wrap up the Ori storyline---that left the end of Season 10 dangling. I'd rather that parts of 10 had been dropped to make room for The Ark Of Truth and even Continuum to have been incorporated into the final season.

I could be wrong, but I thought they only found out season 10 was the last season when there was just a few episodes left to write, hence why they did the dvds as they did as they couldnt have possibly wrapped it all up in what was remaining of the series.

The problem with that is the fact that they got word of the cancellation after 200 aired, so production of the other episodes might not have allowed such a dramatic rewrite to happen.

Oh, I understand that. I'm just saying what I'd rather have seen happen.

 

[Geckothan]

I loved season 9/10 and thought they were far better than season 8, which got so boring for me near the end that I actually had a break from watching the show.

 

[Harvey]

I don't hate seasons nine and ten, but by and large they're pretty mediocre and could be dispensed with without the series as a whole losing much. I like Browder, but Cameron Mitchell was a bland and unmemorable replacement for Jack O'Neill. They should have gone all out and made a spin-off. It doesn't make any sense for Jackson, Teal'c, or even Carter to be around, anyways.
