Season 1: SG-1 wins out over Apophis through their own ingenuity. C4 planted throughout the ships, plus a few grenades to disable the shields, and the attack fleet is no more.
Season 2: Teal'c and General Hammond save the day by flying a fighter through the Stargate and taking out the gun emplacements that are preventing SG-1's escape.
Season 3: SG-1 destroys Thor's ship in order to save the Earth from the Replicators. Carter uses the newly completed O'Neill class ship to destroy the Replicators threatening the Asgard homeworld. Jack and Teal'c destroy the advanced replicator on the Russian sub, and are rescued by Thor before the sub is destroyed.
Season 4: Carter uses technobabble to destroy a star, thus eliminating a Goa'uld fleet.
Season 5: SG-1 rescues Thor from Anubis. Magic Asgard transporters save the day.
Season 6: Oma prevents Daniel from destroying Anubis. Abydos is destroyed, but it's ok because Oma ascends everyone to a higher state of existence, thus cheapening their deaths, softening the impact of the event, and making Anubis seem like less of a threat.
Season 7: Magic Ancient super-weapon destroys Anubis's fleet and saves the day.
Season 8: Magic Ancient super-weapon destroys the Replicators and saves the day.
Season 9: SG-1 doesn't find the next magic Ancient super-weapon in time to destroy the Ori fleet, but it certainly appears to be their only hope.
I miss the days when SG-1 was actually able to do things without depending on those magic Ancient super-weapons that seem to be lying under every other rock in the Milky Way galaxy. I could even tolerate those magic Asgard transporters that always seemed to save our heroes after the season three finale, but Deus Ex Machina is nobody's friend.
In season 10, I'd like to see us defeat the Ori, not through magic ancient super-weapons, but creatively, and using our own resources and abilities.
