Stargate SG-1: The only ever sci-fi show without a definitive bad season?

[Tracy Jane]

I think it's the consecutive thing that clinches it for SG cos Who has been on and off the air so many times.

[Eoin]

Stargate has never had a bad season IMHO, its just the greatest sci-fi show EVER! Stargate is a Legend

[Tracy Jane]

Well said, Eoin!

[bcfc]

I think Series 6 was a slower year because of Daniel leaving, and they had a fresh character to deal with IMO.

Saying that IMHO I thought the episodes towards the end of the year were well written and interesting espicially Prophecy and Full Circle

[Tracy Jane]

I really liked the season six early stand alone eps, like Abyss and Frozen. I quite enjoyed Nightwalkers too. And the last ones too, like you said. It just dipped a bit in the middle.

SG-1's season record has been pretty spotless. A little rough in season 1but thats to be expected.

SGA's second season so far, despite a couple great episodes, has probably been the only season thats come across as abnormally weak- mainly due to the it's-not-really-working SuperFord plotline taking up a third of the episodes that have aired, and McKay being out of character and just annoying in a couple episodes. Hopefully the second half will redeem it though.

I have liked all of there seasons so far, season 8 is one of my favorites.

[NowIWillDestroyAbydos]

I was GOING to say Season 9 for SG-1, but from the very few spoilers i've read, I decided to change my mind

Totally agree with ya there. We can't make a decision quite yet, since only half of the episodes have aired yet.

Buffy-Season 1 and/or season 6 or 7

Hey, I personally liked Season 6 and 7 (Halfway through Season 7 is when I started watching the show), and yes I agree, Buffy Season 1 did suck.

[Hatcheter]

All had their moments, yeah. S6 had it's downpoints especially, it was pretty slow to end (bar FC) after an amazing start. S8 was all about endings, and what an ending it was.... S9, all the episodes have been on major plots, which i like. I'd say you're right.

But the thing is, SG is the longest running sci-fi of all time, yet it's not even close to Trek, Buffy and The X-Files in terms of popularity. Surely they'd go by ratings etc. where Stargate has been known to slip down in recent years...

Stargate has gained in ratings its first three seasons on Sci-Fi, and has held steady this year.

Annoying is in character for McKay.

[Tracy Jane]

The thing is, they've softened the character for Atlantis. Annoying is normal for SG1 fans, not for non-regular SG1 viewers.

i don't think that there has been a bad season some bad epsidoes but never a overall bad season.

just for the record i am really enjoying season 9 hallowed are the ori

'bad' is not only a subjective term, but it's also in the eye of the beholder

i know of some fans who declare s6 to have not happened...or only acknowleding a few of the 22 eps. Others consider s7 to be horrible, s8, or what they've seen of s9

to others, the show ended at s8 and with Moebius

the fandom of this show is so fragmented and divided that i doubt there will be one event that people can rally around and majorally dislike

in fact, the only thing i can think of that would do that would be when/if sam, daniel and teal'c are written out of the show and it becomes the cam and vala hour

that just might do it

[PG15]

I can never say a season is bad.

A few episodes...now that's another matter entirely.
