Comments/Review: Brilliant, exciting, and sociocritical. While the quality had begun to sag ever since season 7, the first 6 seasons of Stargate SG-1 were splendid: humorous, multifarious, and entertaining.
Since the seventh season, the plots have been a bit uninspired, although there were a few good episodes. And the show hasn't been the same ever since they replaced some of the main characters, especially Jack O'Neill and Hammond.
