Oh mang. That is incredibly harsh. SG-1, never even approached the depths of idiocy, racism and sheer... blandness of Voyager or Enterprise. It may have been trying hard to go in that direction but it never came close to being modern Star Trek.

I'm not sure if he eclipses McKay and Carter, but I think he is on par with them. What I meant is I hope TPTB have realised that one character can't always save the day using Ancient tech he perfected in 5 minutes. I hope there is a mixture of brains and brawn that we saw in SG1.Originally posted by Gregorius View PostComment

It was basically a continuation of Season 9 so I don't rate them at all. What lets the seasons down for me are:Originally posted by Crazedwraith View Post
- Mitchell
- Vala
- Landry
- SG-1
- The Ori storyline
- The writing
- The humour
There were just some decisions made by TPTB across Seasons 9 and 10 that I feel could have been handled in a far, far better, more realistic, and more respectful way than what I saw on-screen.
I've said this before and I'll say it again...I am above and beyond ecstatic that there's only a minor 40 episodes of what I've listed to put up with whilst the far more superior first 8 seasons constitute a fantastic 170-odd episodes of enjoyment.

Even though I agree with the list in its entirety, I must single out 'humour' as it often made my ears bleed. The playfulness of earlier seasons was spot on 99% of the time. And then somewhere along the way the writers forgot they weren't writing for a sitcom (which, btw, thank god for that, 'cause that sitcom would tank after the first season.) Even if the jokes/gags were good (and I cannot stress enough how flat and cringe-worthy and just plain BAD they were; you know when you feel embarrassed for other people -- yeah that), it's not what SG-1 was about. Everything in moderation.Originally posted by Alan View Post
(On that note, even Jack of late S8 became a bit ridiculous. But it's Jack. I dunno. I'll borrow his line from 2010 and just say it's the war. Bottom line, I can't be held objective since I'm of the school of thought that says The Jack can't not be quality.)

Season 10 was actually the first season of Stargate I saw live and in order. All the other eps I saw via reruns and mostly out of order (I saw Unending long before COTG, for example). At the time I remember finding most of the episodes fairly enjoyable, and a few that I really liked such as Pegasus Project and Line in the Sand. And then there was the run of Bounty, Bad Guys, and Family Ties that I had me wondering what show I was actually watching.Originally posted by Crazedwraith View Post
However, none of the episodes really captured my interest like the ones I watched in reruns from seasons 1-8. I wasn't too concerned about getting home in time for the Friday first runs, but made sure to catch the Monday mini-marathons. At the time I just shrugged it off as a show that I just lost interest in, but finding this forum and fandom made me interested in trying to figuring why I had lost interest.
I think the main reasons why season 10 (and 9) were disappointing to me were the poorly written enemies in the Ori and Lucian Alliance, the poorly or unevenly written characters in Mitchell, Vala, Lam, and Daniel to an extent, and the shift in tone towards more silly or bawdry humor. There are still things about season 10 that I enjoyed, the Sam/Vala/Teal'c stuff in Uninvited, Sam in Company of Thieves and Road Not Taken, and Sam/Teal'c in Unending to name a few. But aside from LITS, I have little desire to rewatch any of the episodes, while season 1-8 I tend to catch every chance I get.

You are assuming all the main casts get paid for 20 eps. They don't. In S9, Amanda got paid for 15-16 - she was out on maternity leave. In S10, Michael Shanks was out for 4 eps, two to do a movie (IIRC) and two when his and Lexa's 2nd baby was born. There are plenty of other instances in many shows where cast members are contracted for less than the total number of eps per season.Originally posted by Crazedwraith View Post
When S10 contracts were being made TPTB contacted everyone - including new cast member Claudia - except Amanda with contract offers. She finally called either Coop or Brad, not sure which to see if she needed to look for another job. This is the reference in 200 where the panicked female actress calls Marty to see if she is in the movie.Funny. NOT! Seems they weren't sure what they wanted to do with Sam. They were thinking of moving her over to SGA for an unspecified number of episodes. Might have worked storywise, might not have, but in the end they couldn't work out the contract to do that.
as to my opinions about why they would have that idea.

Not only were the joke just plain bad, many were also offensive. The biggie that comes immediately to mind is Landry's comment about Sam and Orlin having an intimate relationship, but Vala's sexual harassment of Daniel was just awful... and ongoing. *cringes*Originally posted by slurredspeech View Postsigpic
