Came accross this contest that Sky One are starting: http://domain1282827.sites.fasthosts.com/stargate.html
Now I don't know how they came up with these eps for their "ten best of all time". I'm pretty sure this is Sky's choice we're being given not the fans. Here's my take on the nominees:
The Serpent's Lair: Definately deserves a spot in the top 10, Sky's only mistake here is not to package it with "Within the Serpent's Grasp!".
The Fifth Race: Not quite my idea of a classic personally but definately a very important ep in the series so I'm not going to argue with it's inclusion.
1969: Here's where the arguments start. This is a pretty good, fun ep and I like my time travel. One of the ten best SG1 eps ever though? Three S2 eps when there's no S1 eps, not even COTG, TBTFGOG and WTSG?
Window of Oportunity: The best comedy ep of SG1 and probably the safe bet to win this poll.
2010: Another cool ep, no arguments here.
Full Circle: Hmmm...good ep but are Sky seriously telling me there's no worthy contenders from S5(The Tomb, Desperate Measures, Summit/Last Stand, possibly even Meridian, hello!) or earlier in S6(Unnatural Selection definately springs to mind as better than Full Circle!).
Lost City: Easy pick, even if part 1 only sets the ground for part 2.
Reckoning: As a two parter it arguably has a better case than Lost City. At one point I definately though it would be the last classic SG1 ep(s) ever.
Camelot: Skipped most of S9, have not seen this ep, cannot comment.
200: Not dead cert how this got into the top ten either. It's better than it's older brother Wormhole Xtreme but The Pegasus Project would definately be a better rep for S10.
Anyone got anything else to say?
