Stargate SG-1, started off really well with Richard Dean Anderson, making some really good jokes/stories in Seasons 1-5, but after that it seems to have suffered through unimaginative writing & daft, dumb & silly plots, from after the Season 6 2 part opener. Seasons 1-5 were the best with most imaginative writing Maybourne being involved in a plot to take over the SGC & the Gou-ould making very adequate enemies with all sorts of sheganigans/plots going on for which I would give Seasons 1-5 a 4 & 5 star rating, for this time, but after that from during Season 6, it seems to have suffered a mid life crisis, going steadily down hill, with a sort of Religion being involved, especially where Anubis, being involved. Seasons 9-10, we have Richard Dean Anderson departing, so suffering from his loss/humour & possble interest, who knows?, & Ben Browder & Claudia Black, from Farscape, being brought into the SGC, Season 9 was pretty poor, 2 star rating but Season 10 1 star rating, whatever you do DON'T BOTHER, just got WORSE with a Religous Cult of the Ori, being introduced, "Hallowed are the Ori" they preach, which gets me thinking what the hell is that all about?, really daft/dumb stories, hence the game is up for Stargate SG-1, 2 more follow up films are made, The Arc of Truth & Continuum are made as to tie up any loose ends, but what could have been much, much more turned into garbage hence overall I give this serial a 3*** star rating.
