    Do you think Season 5 is worth buying this decade?

    I have seasons 1 to 6 of SG1, and I'm planning buying season 7, and 8 but, I'm not sure seasons 9, and 10 are worth the money right now, maybe ten years from now when Stargate would be ooold news, and I got them on discount.

    I have season 1 of SGA, and I'll buy seasons 2, and 3 ASAP. Season 4 wasn't that great but I can watch it again so it's in my list too.

    I've read a lot about Season 5 but watching tv is free (mostly) so, for me, the ultimate question is:

    In your opinion, do you think season 5 has enough good in it so you think is worth buying it?

    Just asking.

    Before I could answer such a question I would need to know the kind of characters and plot arcs you like

      Well, I was thinking more about a personal opinion. I've tried to word the question carefully but I can't properly translated it into English.

      So, would you spend your money buying SGA season 5, or rather spend such money on other series/movies/games/etc because you didn't like it that much really?

        Buy Stargate SG1 First and complete your collection buy Stargate Atlantis in order so buy season 1 then 2 then 3 etc etc.

        You will find Atlantis seris 5 will probably cost you 3 seasons of SG1 when it is released so you would get better value for money if you bought seasons of SG1 first

          Yes, newly realeased season are indeed more expensive, and they're even more expensive down here!!! But the reason I'm not buying SG1 9/10 anytime soon is because I didn't enjoy them that much.

          Maybe I should save my money for a while before thinking about buying any Stargate stuff.

          Thanks!

            I intend to buy it when it is available, because I'm the collector type of person, but mostly... to get good resolution screen captures of Todd. But in all honesty, there is only one episode so far I feel I would truly want to re-watch whenever I feel like it: "The Queen". If Todd's future proves less infuriating, I may be able to watch "Infection" again too.

            As a whole, while there were several episodes I liked or even loved, season 5 felt like a collection of disconnected standalones without any big picture in sight - even the episodes that were supposed to tie loose ends like "Ghost in the Machine" and "The Prodigal". All the episodes are set in the same context, yes, but without a bigger story that advances over time. That makes them much less interesting to watch again later for me.

              In a word....No.....Apart from two or three eps it's been a rather disappointing season....Instead of going out with a bang it's going out with a whimper....


              (IMHO )

                I understand that. Thankfully, I overcomed some of my need.

                I also like big arcs but, it sounds good enough anyway.

                Thanks!

                    no, it's not worth of it. I would rather buy another series, movies or games

                        Season 5 is worth it. Very character driven and some really epic eps. So it is a worthy buy.

                        I know everything, so listen to me.

                          Hard to answer. I'll buy it, as it's the last season, and there are some eps, like "Search & Rescue," I can watch over and over again.

                          But hmm, should I wait for the ultra-deluxe-platinum-we've got the lost scene from "Trio" edition that comes with a piece of DNA from David Hewlett embedded in a mystery DVD disk?? Hmm, nope. I'll get it now, as then, I've got it.
