![]() It’s also one of the few episodes where the team (and Daniel Jackson in particular) directly kills humans.Īlso ok, also a standalone episode. It’s one of the most emotionally complex episodes, and with an unusual narrative structure (mostly telling the story in flashback, for a while). If you want more details, see Wikipedia – Zero Hour. It is about the only other mostly-base-set kind of episode they can do (negotiations plus focus on “days in the life of the base”). It’s the first episode where we see Harriman in his role as O’Neill’s aide (which is a pretty cool role for Richard Dean Anderson to give to the actor, after 7 years of reliability as a secondary character). This is ok, it’s reasonably amusing as one would expect for an episode centred around O’Neill. The actor who played 1969 Hammond shows up as an SGC airman.Īs far as I know, planet KS7-535 is the only time we ever hear of an alphanumeric planetary designation that doesn’t start with a ‘P’. There’s only so many times you can tell that same story. There aren’t actually that many things you can do entirely on the base – it’s pretty much only foothold + selfdestruct, every time. This episode shows the problems of the constraints of just using the base set (and Jack no longer going on missions). Ridiculous as usual that they do ceremonies right in front of the gate, where an incoming wormhole would vapourize them. ![]() Unfortunate that Hammond isn’t present to do a full farewell to the team. Seems rather unlikely Camulus would ask for asylum but this is necessary to set up future episodes. This is a reasonably entertaining episode, as usual enlivened by Jack.Īnother take on the impossibility of Carter just settling down and living a happy life with Pete somewhere. I guess the large black watch that Daniel very prominently puts on is the new GDO? It doesn’t make sense for the Goa’uld to come to Earth, but in the real world of making the show, using the base set is much cheaper than doing a different set or shooting on-location.Ī good scene between Carter and Teal’c addressing the reality of trying to bring more character life into the show – Carter has to abandon Pete all the time, sometimes for likely suicide missions, and Rya’c and Bra’tac basically just do their things in the background. This is just all positioning, with (new actress) Dr. The terrible photoshop for the DVD cover strikes Teal’c, again. If you want a reasonable plot with action and a (re)conclusion to the series, just watch 8×16 through 8×20. The team going through the Stargate together and having an adventure on an unexplored planet is over. Only watch this season if you really can’t let the characters go, but be aware it is a very diminished SG-1. Honestly, you’re better off ending at 7×15. ![]() The Trust (NID version 2) shows up, inevitably in bad episodes. Basically the Replicators, Ba’al and Anubis continue as enemies. Having basically completed their story arc in the previous season, they’re kind of lost for something to do. With less money, a changed cast and their attention elsewhere, season 8 is just kind of an awkward caboose stuck on seasons 1-7. As well, Richard Dean Anderson was only working 3.5 days a week instead of 5. In fairness to the cast and crew as well, in this season they not only have a reduced budget and changed character mix, but they’re also doing full simultaneous production of Stargate: Atlantis. I won’t be giving the same attention to reviews for this season, because as previously mentioned, the entire season is really more SG-1: Coda than a main SG-1 season.
