What is the accepted best ever Stargate Episode ?

[saltier]

And is there a generally accepted best run of shows ie series....whatever.

[PG15]

"Window of Opportunity" seems to be well-liked, as well as "The Fifth Race"

[kirmit]

I don't you're going to get one single episode named as best ever as people have different tastes. I personally have various favourite episodes including 'window of opportunity', 'The Fifth Race', 'Meridian' and 'Lost city' but there are more and I can't pinpoint a lone episode to take that title. It depends on the person, some like action, some like humour, some like deep thinking episodes and some like emotion episodes etc etc.

You're not going to find consensus on best-ever episode. Like others above have said, it's really divided amongst a select few favourite episodes, which seem to be:

The Fifth Race
1969
Window of Opportunity
Meridian
Abyss
Lost City
Reckoning

Are all these above from one particular season, what I`m meaning is that does Stargate have an accepted peak with a show or within a series ?

I`m thinking of back tracking to get more into the show and basically I`m after guidance on a good place to start, if not at the beginning.
Does that make sense ?

"The Fifth Race" and "1969" were in Season 2, "Window of Opportunity" in Season 4, "Meridian" in Season 5, "Abyss" in Season 6, "Lost City" in Season 7, and "Reckoning" in Season 8.

Really, I'd recommend just starting at the beginning. That's really the only way to get the most out of the experience.

Or at least watch the full first and second disks of season 1 so you get the set-up for each of the main characters.

Personally I think probably Stargate reached its zenith in Season 7. Others could argue that Season 5 was the best. I feel 7 was probably the best basically because it was the last season where the original cast was all together and working together in relative equal portions. Daniel came back, Jonas left, we found out alot about the Ancients, and defeated the most powerful G'ouald to that time, Anubis. What do you all think?

'WoO' is going to show up a lot on this list. It's awesome! I have so many favs I can't pick even just a few to put down, but I will say I've always loved 'Fail Safe'. My favorite seasons would have to be 3 and 4, I think. And 7 is really great. They're mostly really great. Just start at the beginning-you'll enjoy yourself!

I think it's either supposed to be 'The Fifth Race' or 'Threads', with 'Reckoning' and 'Lost City' (both parts 1 and 2 for each) coming in closely after. Although a number of people I know of also really dug 'Camelot'.

Quite a few titles being quoted by a few different posters.

But this Window of Oppurtunity keeps cropping up.

So if someone had never seen Stargate and you wanted to "hook" them with just one hour long show..........................which one would you pick, I think I`ve finally worded that better.

[Locutus_Of_Borg]

oh this is a toughy, but theres so many well written and awesome stargate episodes that have been made over the years

Window of Opportunity funniest episode
The Fifth Race Just awesome in its own way, speaks for itself
Lost City = best episode EVER
Reckoning Part 1 and 2 pretty good specially all the gates turning on
48 Hours love that episode lol
The changeling and Abyss was just a great daniel return plot
Homecoming......meh fair alright along with full circle

i think those and a couple others are some of the best

Think I have seen Lost City, and possibly The Fifth Race, but speaking from hindsight its difficult to gauge how I viewed these episodes, in comparison to others.
Usually when I see SG1, I enjoy, regardless of story, plotline etc.
To me its a feel good show.

As a Star Trek fan raised on the Original Series its almost forced upon you that the greatest Trek was The City on the Edge of Forever, but to me there are so many plot failings in it.

I prefer Balance of Terror.

One day I may have a definitive Stargate SG1 episode.

Thanks for your guidance

[Locutus_Of_Borg]

umm glad i could help lol

yes i to know what you mean about people saying that The City on the Edge of Forever was the best....i dont see it though, as u said Balance of Terror.......im a tomorrow is yesterday fan lol

but considering the content of stargate.....id have to say Lost City is still the best regardless, because the episode made me feel good lol, especially when the F-302's and the Prometheus came saved SG-1's butts lol

And i probably won't change my mind because RDA is gone now and he was the essense of SG-1 to me

Yes I agree re RDA, (my first abbreviation, how quaint ) once he seemed to leave the show, it wasnt the same.

He is the essence of SG1, I know enough to realise that.
