Yeah but seriously, I love this show - of course. I have all of it on DVD and I've watched the entire show several times now. I started buying the DVDs a long time ago, when there weren't even complete season boxes. So half of my collection is still on single DVDs, each of them in a seperate plastic case. Later seasons are in those grey boxes. I'm thinking about replacing everything with a complete all-in-one set.
Don't really know what to think about that movie reboot. It will ignore and overwrite everything from the series. There might not even be a complete gate-system with hundreds of worlds.
Did people still like it after that new guy took over O'Neil's job? At that point I was already a bit meh on the show but that was total jumping ship moment.

I dont think many would go out of their way to defend those last 2 seasons.
They are not terrible. Just completely unnecessary and awkward and you can literally see the writers stretching to try and justify the shows continued existence.
I think the general consensus is the last Jack season was already pushing it but at least they tied the show up well with that final arch and then sent everyone off into the sunset with the super fun Moebius 2 parter as their attempt at "Hey. Lets try and do Stargate version of All Good Things...". Show should have ended there.

I'd love to get the SG-1 box set but apparently the packaging makes the discs really prone to scratching. I'm going to get Atlantis on blurray soon and I hope they eventually release SG-1 on it as well.

At least they handled the initial idea for Mitchell well (the team is 'meh' about coming back, he was in an F302 during the Battle of Antarctica), but yes a lot of 9 and 10 was retread and the ori weren't handled well, and had a terrible conclusion.
O'Neill and SG1 in SGU were handled better I feel.
By the way, can I say I absolutely hated the last episode of SG-1. The
eradication of the Asgard
was treated as a secondary plot device and nothing really came of it. I don't know, it just felt like something was missing from the final episode and I had no emotional connection at all.
O'Neill: "Asgard, meet Tin Man. Tin man, meet the Asgard."
The bad thing about adding super tech is that you write yourself into a corner. You have to find some way to have the enemy to be more powerful so Earth is the underdog again.
Atlantis was good but didn't like how they kept
screwing over Michael. They had a wraith expert that was cooperating with them but nope, had to keep wiping his memory.
What bugged me the most about Atlantis was they never learned how to make a REGULAR ZPM! They only tried to replace the ZPM. If your city runs on AA batteries, learn how to make AA batteries before trying to one up the ones that made the technology to begin with.
They also found a planet that made a drug that made people immune to the feeding process and a member of their team that was immune himself. And wraith that they were on speaking terms with. How come they never tried to make "Wraith Tretonin?" SG-1 never tried to modify the Jaffa to be completely independent of the symbiote.
The first season of Universe was atrocious. All of the power plays and abusing of the Earth bodies was horrible. The second season was actually watchable after they actually started functioning as a team and not their little factions.

Just stumbled on the first episode again while flicking through the channels. Sam had just come through the stargate for the first time and found the dialling device. She then says how it had taken them 15 years to 'MacGuyver' a solution back on earth.
Thought it was a cute Easter egg I'd never noticed before
