Stargate SG-1

It's finally here! The Stargate SG-1 post has arrived.

 Let's begin as we always do with a quick history lesson about the show.

The original SG Team

      Based off of the 1994 Stargate film, the ten season series (which ran longer than the X-Files), centers around a military team that uses a device known as a "Stargate" to travel from one planet to another all across the galaxy. The missions of the SG teams are unknown to the Earth population. The team is led by the hysterical, manly and sexy Colonel Jack O'Neill (Richard Dean Anderson), then there is his number two, Major Samantha Carter (Amanda Tapping). Sam is a scientist by nature but also a skilled military expert as well as the love interest for Colonel O'Neill. Teal'c (Christopher Judge) is the reformed Jaffa, one of the Goa'uld's protectors. He joins the SG team in order to gain freedom not only for himself but for his people. The final member (of the original team) is Dr. Daniel Jackson (Michael Shanks). Daniel is the brilliant Egyptologist who is constantly marveled by the wonders that space has to offer.

The Team later adds and subtracts characters. O'Neill leaves after season 8 and Lieutenant Colonel Cameron Mitchell becomes the new leader of the SG team. Seasons 8-10 also introduce use to the wise cracking and flirty Vala Mal Doran (Claudia Black). Vala and Daniel have a thing ;)

The show ran from 1997 to 2007 and was a hit across the globe. Since the end of the series Scifi conventions have been a great way for the show to live on. Not to mention the two films that were released.

Two spinoffs were created, the exciting Stargate Atlantis and the "not even close to the original" Stargate Universe.

Atlantis was a hit, needless to say, Universe was not.


The series is one of the best for anyone who loves Scifi, actions, comedy and a bit of romance. It's funny really, I would rank this show as one of my top five favorite television shows, but it is so difficult to write about. It's silly but there are so many amazing qualities about this show that I can hardly put them into words.

It you are new to Scifi, then this is the show for you. You will get just the right amount of Scifi to understand what is happening and not too much to become overwhelmed. It is an amazing show and I would recommend it to any and everyone!

Please Please Please take a chance on Stargate SG-1, I promise you won't be sorry! :)

P.S. Tea'c says "indeed" A LOT! Here is a funny video compilation
