Pilot... Dr Rodney McKay is running excitedly round the SGC. He's finally discovered another chevron hidden under the ramp "who the hell put that bloody ramp there?" he demands.
He dials a nine-digit address and it locks. A team is assembled, a big one with all sorts of equipment being bundled into the gate room. The team is given a go and its leader gives a very moving speech saying this might well be a one way trip. Apprehensively, they step through into darkness.
On the other side they discover they're in this ship thing that can't stop, can't slow down and can't turn around. They've brought the best minds in engineering and astrophysics with them, but some idiot forgot to pack a spanner! They're stuck.
They soon come across a planet the ship is seeding a Stargate on. They take a shuttle down to investigate... yes this ship has never had a single crew member, it was designed that way, but still has crew quarters and a shuttle bay.
On the planet they discover an enigmatic alien, possibly two of them, who are fighting a great enemy. The enemy has lumps on their heads and is split into sects that are all fighting with each other over water. One sect is proving tremendously powerful as they control a spanner, the one way the team can get home!
The team is so hooked on duty and running about a Canadian-looking forest with guns they they defeat the enemy, losing the spanner forever at the bottom of a lake. The other enemy sects vow to take revenge on them for losing the spanner and declare war.
The enigmatic alien(s) are invited to join the crew. There's no real reason for doing so but they seem like interesting people so, what the hell!
Mid season one... They find a way to get a garbled message to the SGC on Earth. The SGC are able to send a garbled message back a few episodes later.
Season two... they discover a ZPM that enables them to gate back to Earth and start building a new gate bridge by periodically chucking a spare stargate out of an airlock.
Season three... not just one, but three new alien baddies are introduced and the cast undergoes radical changes as the SGC, now in regular contact with the team decides that everybody deserves a holiday and replaces the entire crew.
Season four... the crew makes a pact with an unstoppable cyborg race and rescues one of their kind. Taking the components off her face they discover that she's really quite a hottie.
Season seven... facing extinction in the depths of darkest space, the crew in the future go back in time to help themselves get home. The leave the ship on its course. In the final scene the camera zooms into a cargo hold and there, sat innocently on the floor in a corner sits... a spanner!
