This video got me thinking of the episode of Altantis when the Ancients return only to lose the city to the replicators. The Ancients take back the city and yet do nothing about a galaxy next door being over run by their mortal enemies the Ori, that were so bad they constructed Atlantis in the first place and left their home galaxy. What if the Ori won and found out about Atlantis. Nice that the Ancients could sit back and let the SGC do everything.
Season one : Politics because the final argument is they brought another virus on Earth through the stargate. Season two Secrets because we get a glimps of NID what they are capable of and Daniel got to spend time with Share and Oneil vs Heruer . Season three Pretense. Skara is set free and three or four motherships are destroyed but the triad is damn satisfying . Season four Curse because Osiris is revealed at the very end and Earth has another goauld on their to do luat, kinda looked more like Ra s ship in the movie. Season five Warrior because Tealc s goal was freedom for all Jaffa and how difficult any aliance is made with those you shot often, and rogue goaulds will go so low pretending to be a jaffa. Season six must be Abyss because Tealc meditated they use The System Lords and The Tokra are put on their place of shame. Season seven episode five Tealc has depression and is wounded Daniel has nightmares about Bratac and Ryac, after kelnoreem they go in purgatory and the Jaffa have their rebellion and grow their numbers.

Agree! Lost city is amazing for the visuals and chaos of everything going on, but Heroes is the best episode the actors put out for the entire series.!
When Janet died it was very emotional, i love heroes episodes but in the end of lost city episode when the fight is over and jack i going to be frozen and we can hear part of stargate atlantis theme, it is also very emotional especialy when i watched the whole atlantis. I swear i can hear that theme in it.
i love how (most of) the chosen "best" episodes aren't the ones with great space battles or incredible action but the character focused ones dealing with loss, philosophy and our place in the universe
I guess you missed the latter half of this video which votes all the great space battle episodes as the best ones. I counted at least 3 of them with space battles.
I love that one, especially since it points at power corrupting people - then again: Daniel later shows that frankly he isn't easily corrupted (so yeah, I doubt it would play out that way if Daniel truly got all the Goa'uld racial memory!) But then again I also love say 'Space Race' and 'In the Line of Duty'...frankly there's few episodes I do not like at all...'Emancipation' comes to mind (don't like that one at all)
I remember about 10 years ago I came across a paper/essay online that went in depth and explained why English was throioit the universe. Can't find it now.. Rather count be arsed looking for it.
I think that has to do with it being placed in real time rather than far in the future because I watch Star Trek next Generation now and I see their tablets that they use and I'm just like man our tablets are centuries ahead of theirs
I've always considered Farscape to be the best sci-fi show ever. SG:1 comes a close 2nd though. You have no idea how excited I was when i found out who was in seasons 9 and 10
Always loved the episode "Lifeboat", where Daniel had multiple different minds transferred into his own, and the control of his body keeps switching between himself and the different passengers he's carrying. The acting in that one was just phenomenal.
I grew up watching Stargate with my Mom and I've loved it ever since. It is a little cheesy sometimes (not unlike most science fiction shows/movies) but I've always thought the writing was pretty good and its just a plain fun show that's not afraid to poke fun at itself. There are many episodes where major ethics and philosophical issues present themselves which make for great viewing for me as a philosophy major. I'm also an AF Security Forces veteran and its always cool to see the SF's doing there thing around Stargate Command. I wanted to go Army after high school but decided to go Air Force after my Dad's Army veteran friend convinced me to go AF. Sometimes I wonder if I subliminally joined the AF because of Stargate. LOL
I really liked the episode where that barber got linked to jack and started writing stories about SG:1s adventures I normally hate flashback episodes but that one was good.
I personally think the best episode of season six is the one directed by Judge where he slips in and out of realities after a Jaffa ambush as he shares his symbiote with Bratac to keep them both alive
Window of opportunity was defo a classic. It showed the depth of Jack & Teal'c's character as they battled then enjoyed the consequence fun of the loop. Absolutely brilliant. 🤘🤘
The Torment of Tantalous was indeed a great episode, but for season 1 I preferred There but for the grace of God more. Daniel's visit to an alternate SGC who had succumbed to the Gaoul'd was so exciting to me.
I totally knew that "Fifth race episode was, is, and always will be the best and the most epic from second season - cuz not only thanks to asgard but also thanks to eight chevron, extra juice to stargate device and of course double vortex... in czech republic it´s pretty much legendary - the sentence "This is the Asgard planet, Othala, in the galaxy of Ida." simply sends electricity and chills down the spine from all the excitement and surprise.. I have the feeling everytime I see it !!!
Is it really that legendary? I kinda grew up on Atlantis tbh. But I definitely remember the quote, even the Asgard's voice, despite not seeing Stargate in Czech for for a few years. Last Stargate I have seen in Czech was when they first translated Universe (before that they broadcasted it here with just subtitles)
@@dustojnikhummer jo je!! vpravdě cokoliv co se v hvězdný bráně točilo okolo antiků a asgardů (nebo jejich technologie) je v české komunitě SG legendární.. je to analogické k tomu jak moc hystericky vtipný je díl Urgo (třetí řada šestnáctý díl).. ale abys mi špatně nerozumněl já miluju celý SG univerzum jak klasiku, tak Atlantis i Universe a všechny tři megafilmy.. přičemž Archa pravdy vyniká úplně nejvíc.. hlavně kvůli hudbě a historii Antiků, tehdejších Alteranů.. a jaký máš ty oblíbený díly??
All of these rightfully deserve their claim to fame as the best episodes of each season, however I always look forward to Season 5; Episode 12 "Wormhole X-Treme!" & Season 10; Episode 200 "200". I just love when shows, especially long running ones, that take a moment to celebrate the show and the actors who star in them. It is just enjoyable to see them all having fun for the sake of fun.
I like that Dom DeLuise makes an indirect cameo in a season 9 episode where Mitchell's having lunch with a buddy. The Pizza boxes say "DeLuise and Sons" and there's a picture of Dom with Peter on the lid.
I agree what you said at the start. Most people I know never even heard of stargate. When they ask me what its about I always reply its the perfect combination of action, adventure, drama, sci fi and human emotions. It will always be my favorite series. Always. I also agree with most of the list. Although it is a hard choice. Even a top 5 or 10 each season would be hard. I got the whole series Sg1 and atlantis on dvd. I think one of these days I m gonne have a rewatch. Prob my 10th or so.
Totally agree with you - Stargate SG1 is THE BEST series (not just sci fi series) of all time. The cast is spectacular - especially Richard Dean Anderson who is perfect as Jack O'Neill. The writing, the directing, the production, are all tops. But I love the interaction among the main characters the most - especially between Jack and Sam.
If I were going to sum up what you said about it being a perfect combination of action, adventure, drama, sci fi and human emotions (I would specifically add humor), I would simply say "Adventure and Discovery". Everything you said can be summed up in those two words.
yes 200 was great but that crossover between SG-1 and Atlantis called The Pegasus Project is a worthy winner indeed. My guess would be that 200 came in 2nd place in the poll.
I loved how they presented the effects of gravity, time dilation, and the imminent doom of being sucked into a hole. SPOILERS Plus, the death of the SG at the beginning of the episode.
After watching my choices different from the list: Season 1, I have to go with the "There but for the grace of God" mirror universe episode Season 7, Heroes Part 2 with an honorable mention for Lifeboat
Best quotes per episode on the list (did It from memory so maybe I’m off a bit here and there) 1) Meaning of life, stuff... 2) Nu ani anchi’etas 3) Replicat0rz (by Thor) 4) In the middle of my backswing!? 5) If you immediately know that candlelight is fire, the meal was cooked a long time ago.. 6) Ba’al as in “bachy”? 7) Who are you really and why are you here? 8) I was working up the nerve to come and talk to you 9) it’s not magic (then getting beamed away in front of peasants) 10) Indeed, today we have achieved a great victory colonel Mitchel
I"m going to finish it all now, and this was a great refresher! Thanks for the video very helpful! I started watching the "recommended viewing order" and I stopped (2 year break) watching after finishing: Stargate the movie, SG1 S1-S7, then SG1 S8, Atlantis S1.
Dang, I so miss this show! I've been waiting and waiting for a new Stargate series. Granted, there's the web series, but I'd like a return to television a new Stargate series. Or if it has to be streamed, Netflix or Hulu should pick it up.
Unending is undoubtedly my fave episode (the very last episode). It's a brilliant character study and what-if scenario. You need to know the characters for this episode to work.
Agreed. I wouldn't call it a favorite because I find it difficult to watch (emotionally, I mean) and therefore don't watch it frequently, but it's absolutely brilliant.
Agreed. I know some people were disappointed that they didn't touch on the Ori plot, but I think they made the right choice by having the final episode be more character-driven and emotional.
@@vanyadolly That's something I noticed about the show. They wasted very little time on pointless denouement - following up after the climax of the plot to satisfy the viewer. If what comes after the climax is obvious, they didn't bother spending time to portray it. At the end of Unending, it's obvious what happens. The ship escapes, and Earth gets the Asgard weapons technology which allowed the Odyssey to single-handedly blow up 2 Ori ships. The war against the Ori was effectively won at that point. While it would've been fun to show all that (if the season had had 5 more episodes), it didn't really add anything to the episode itself since it's obvious. So they sacrificed it to make time for more scenes which contributed to the episode itself. So sometimes the episodes are not as satisfying as they could be. But in exchange, they are jam-packed.
Bit late, but i wanna write some, too. My favorits have been: the not upcrowing kids who have to give their knowlege to their adults. (Showed sooooo much about Jacks character. The timesloop - of cause! Meeting Thor Cometreya 😉 Death of the one and only doctor from SG1 And so much more! Hope I can show this amazing show to my husband, once.
There were so many great episodes in the first 8 seasons. My favorite of season 1 was Sanctuary. Window of Opportunity was a shoe-in for season 4, but that season had so many strong episodes.
By the time Adria comes around she just takes all my concentration away from the story because Morena Baccarin is on another level of beauty. A 10/10! Good lord!
I would have to agree with the fans on this one. All of these were the best episodes of their respective seasons. I also quite liked the one where they travel to the 60s, or 70s or whatever, and drive around on the hippie bus :D
I enjoyed all the shows you've listed, but I recommend you take a look at The Expanse now showing on Amazon Prime. Before seeing it my list would've been very similar to yours. But now the Expanse is in the top 3 perhaps #1. Truly an amazing show that ticks all the excellence boxes especially authentic science. I would also include Black Mirror as well.
Honestly, for me the show ended in season 8. 9 and 10 shouldn't have happened. I'm glad Atlantis exists. And I'm glad they could experiment with Universe. But ugh SG-1 seasons 9 and 10 were awful.
season 01 : s01e10 - torment of tantalus season 01 : s01e19 - tin man (tie) season 02 : s02e11 - tok'ra : part 1 (second) season 02 : s02e12 - tok'ra : part 2 (first) season 02 : s02e15 - fifth race (close second) season 03 : s03e19 - new ground season 04 : s04e06 - window of opportunity season 04 : s04e11 - point of no return (tie) season 05 : s05e19 - menace season 05 : s05e21 - meridian (close second) season 06 : s06e04 - frozen season 06 : s06e20 - memento (close second) season 07 : s07e21 - lost city : part 1 (second) season 07 : s07e22 - lost city : part 2 (first) season 08 : s08e19 - moebius : part 1 (tie) season 08 : s08e20 - moebius : part 2 (tie) season 09 : s09e13 - ripple effect season 10 : s10e03 - the pegasus project season 10 : s10e11 - quest : part 2 (close second) season 10 : s10e14 - shroud (close second)
Children of the Gods has to be my favorite from season one when the team is assembled and we meet Carter for the first time and she puts Jack in his place, and you see the respect Jack at that moment he has for her.
The show had a lot of high points and kept getting better each season . Window of opportunity is one of my favorite of the entire ten seasons . It has a little of everything . The only thing that ever disappointed me was the fact they brought in new characters and only lasted two seasons and two movies .
Unsurprisingly, most of the picks here are among my top favorite episodes! The ones I would have voted differently on, however, would have been seasons 1, 6, 8, and 10. My favorite season 1 episode is "There but for the Grace of God", my favorite season 6 episode is "Allegiance", my favorite season 8 episode was "Reckoning part 2", and my favorite season 10 episode was "the Quest part 1". I would have also added some honorable mentions, namely "Thor's Hammer", "Thor's Chariot", "Dead Man Switch", "Double Jeopardy", "The Tomb", "Prophecy", "Evolution Part 2", "Prometheus Unbound", "Arthur's Mantle", and "Uninvited" as the entries.
I'd say Season 1 is a tie between TBFTGoG and ToT, both great episodes, either could have taken top spot and I think I would have gone with Prometheus for season 6 for it's introduction of the X-303
When Daniel called our Morigan I actually yelled “damit Daniel!” 😆 They could have gotten so much useful info from her while she was pretending to be a VI.
I could add a few episodes to this list but all in all, it's a good one. In my opinion, Stargate remains one of the best shows. The Stargate itself is the most interesting part. The whole idea of a portal that can be dialed to thousands of gates all over the universe is just mind-blowing. What a great idea.
My faves: the Ashin where Sam can't have kids and they discover genetic tampering to kill off the human race; the one where Sams father becomes Tokra (2parts); the 'return to the sixties and young Hammond; first meeting the Knox.....I can't seem to remember episode names well. ❤️❤️❤️Stargate SG1❤️❤️❤️
The episodes you listed are: 2010 (a favorite of mine also) ; The Tok'ra ; 1969 ; The Nox. All good episodes but I would definitely include Solitudes - s1 and Message in a Bottle - S2 for starters. A spectacularly good series! THE BEST!
LOVE, LOVE, THIS SERIES!!!! STILL WATCH RERUNS & IT IS A LEGENDARY TREASURE, FOR SURE!!!! EVERY EPISODE IS A PRECIOUS PIECE OF WORK EXCELLENTLY PORTRAYIING THEIR ROLES --THE CAST, RICHARD DEAN ANDERSON; MICHAEL SHANKS, AMANDA TAPPING, CHRISTOPHER JUDGE, WERE ALL MAGNIFICENT ACTORS!!! MUCH KUDOS TO THEM & ALL THEIR ADMIRED ACCOMPLISHMENTS!!!! CHEERS!!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰🦅🦅🦅🦅
My favorite episodes: 1x20 - There But For The Grace of God 2x15 - The Fifth Race 3x12 - Jolinar's Memories/3x13 - The Devil You Know 4x16 - 2010 5x21 - Meridian 6x15 - Paradise Lost 7x06 - Lifeboat 8x05 - Icon 9x19 - Crusade 10x03 - The Pegasus Project
Beachhead is also very good episode in season 9. Personaly, this is my favorite season of entire show, so it's very difficult for me, to choose just one episode
Great vid... iv been rewatching Sg1 and Atlantis recently and although I think the Ori wasn't a very good villain, seasons 9 and 10 sure did have some amazing episodes. I miss Stargate, i wish they'd do more, it's the best sci-fi franchise of all time. Season 1 started the year I was born (24 years ago) and it still holds up today.
My favorite episode of S1 was Solitudes. But it's so hard to choose. Unlike Star Trek TNG, SG-1 found its footing and "grew the beard" extremely quickly. TNG took 3 seasons to get really good, SG-1 was up to TNG S3 standards by the 5th episode.
Thats interesting, I actually found it to be one of the least interesting as it was predictable and completely contradicts the previous time-travel story that it cant even exist without, to each their own I suppose.
My List before watching th video. Season 1 - There But for the Grace of God Season 2 - The Fifth Race Season 3 - Crystal Skull Season 4 - 2010 Season 5 - Wormhole X-Treme! Season 6 - Cure Season 7 - Birthright Season 8 - Moebius 1 & 2 Season 9 - Ripple Effect Season 10 - The Pegasus Project
They really should have joked about O'Neill MacGyvering the power supply... either in its construction or that he used a paperclip, rubberband, and some duck tape to finishe it off.
sad that it doesn't include Jack... but that would have undermined the decades Sam dedicates to fixing the problem, her attention would have been elsewhere. GOAT episode in my opinion
I also wish Stargater SG1 had not ever come to an end....and I especially wish Richard Dean Anderson could have stayed with the series. HE MADE STARGATE what it was. I understand about him wanting to be able to raise his daughter. But how we miss him in Stargate. If he had stayed, I think SG1 could have gone on for another 10 years!!!!
Personal choices: There are only 3 episodes throughout the whole 10 seasons i can do without; One False Step, the first ones, emancipation. Absolutley love all the rest.
No to reboot, it would destroy all the history that has been created. Expand on the storyline. Maybe even a prequel movie and/or series that tells the story of the fall of the Ancients and rise of the Goa'uld and Wraiths.
I just finished re-watching the series so here are my picks Season 1-Cold Lazarus Season 2-A Matter of Time Season 3-Foothold Season 4-Window of Opportunity Season 5-Revelations Season 6-Allegiance Season 7-Lost City Season 8-Reckoning Season 9-Prototype Season 10-The Shroud
hated all the Ori episodes hated Daniel being ascended and not being able to interfere hate Anubis hated all the other ascended beings not being able to interfere
I am positively shocked that Abyss was voted the best episode from season 6...I mean pretty great episode but there were so many more terrific ones. But then Threads is probably my favorite episode from the entire run and the list was pretty solid other than that.

the choices made on the poll shows most of the stargate fans are complete idiots.
I’m only 43 sec in but if the “time loop” episode isn’t in here…
Window of Opportunity is my favourite of all time, not just season 4...
"In the middle of my backswing!!!"
that was a classic !
Agreed "Window of Opportunity" Is the best episode of all time.
It was a great episode. Interestingly the scripted part didn’t take up the full time allotted so they improvised parts.
Daniel: Sphere, planet, Label, name. Jack: Following you, still, not!
@@Trad-Am Praclarush Taonas! Wrong episode dude. That was "Lost City"
Lost City may be the best episode of season 7 but Heroes part 2 is by far the most emotional one.
I love Lost City, but Heroes probably has the best acting in the entire series.
Agree! Lost city is amazing for the visuals and chaos of everything going on, but Heroes is the best episode the actors put out for the entire series.!
When Janet died it was very emotional, i love heroes episodes but in the end of lost city episode when the fight is over and jack i going to be frozen and we can hear part of stargate atlantis theme, it is also very emotional especialy when i watched the whole atlantis. I swear i can hear that theme in it.
Lost city is probably the best episode of all seasons
I hated Heroes. Watched it three time to try and get what everyone was so gaga about. Still hate it.
Window of opportunity is one of the best episodes. Anyway, that's the way I feel about it. What do you think?
Of course who dosent .😀
I wasn’t paying attention the first time.
window of opportunity and the 2 parter heroes
Ask me tomorrow
I have the sudden urge to eat a massive bowl of oatmeal right now.
You just had to sneak one in - "MacGyver's a new power source" 2:59
Good catch. :)
Caught that as well, lol
Warren Sam throws in a MacGyver reference in episode one I believe.🙂
That ZPM-lite that they reused to dial the Asgard twice but then forgot whenever they wanted to dial Atlantis?
Well, in this episode Jack literally takes random materials and powers the gate like how Mac would’ve done.
i love how (most of) the chosen "best" episodes aren't the ones with great space battles or incredible action but the character focused ones dealing with loss, philosophy and our place in the universe
I guess you missed the latter half of this video which votes all the great space battle episodes as the best ones. I counted at least 3 of them with space battles.
Or are really funny with some great one liners.
@@fr9714 sure 3, that's nowhere near "most of"
Honorable mention: Daniel becoming a dictator on earth.
shittt i have forgotten about this episode
I love that one, especially since it points at power corrupting people - then again: Daniel later shows that frankly he isn't easily corrupted (so yeah, I doubt it would play out that way if Daniel truly got all the Goa'uld racial memory!)
But then again I also love say 'Space Race' and 'In the Line of Duty'...frankly there's few episodes I do not like at all...'Emancipation' comes to mind (don't like that one at all)
@@dreamingflurry2729 never watched emancipation more than one time two max and I've been rewatching sg1 for at least 11 years
Wow i completely forget about that one. Im on season 10 and its hard to keep track of what happens on what season.
And then it was all a dream lol
Four races: *create universal language so they can communicate in a galaxy where basically everyone speaks English
… sounds like the new language was a hit
It was dubbed over, duh!
But none of the four great races originally did
You need to understand that this outpost was used thousands and thousands of years in the past, English simply hadn't been created yet.😊
I remember about 10 years ago I came across a paper/essay online that went in depth and explained why English was throioit the universe. Can't find it now.. Rather count be arsed looking for it.
I agree SG-1 is the best Sci-Fi show ever !
I can re-watch it many times, it never gets old.
The show also aged well compared to most other SF shows.
Ludwig Schwarzwälder u know, it is just dam good on any rewatch, and I’m even talking about the early seasons as well
I think that has to do with it being placed in real time rather than far in the future because I watch Star Trek next Generation now and I see their tablets that they use and I'm just like man our tablets are centuries ahead of theirs
The only other good aged SF is actually Star Trek TNG, but for other reasons.
I've always considered Farscape to be the best sci-fi show ever. SG:1 comes a close 2nd though.
You have no idea how excited I was when i found out who was in seasons 9 and 10
Where can I watch Stargate sg1? Is it on hulu ?
Always loved the episode "Lifeboat", where Daniel had multiple different minds transferred into his own, and the control of his body keeps switching between himself and the different passengers he's carrying. The acting in that one was just phenomenal.
Agreed, its been years since I've watched it but from him going to a stuttering scared child to an angry dictator was amazing to watch.
Michael Shanks was very good but Teryl Rothery was also fantastic! 'You don't belong in that man's body and I intend to take it back!'
Yea that was a good one
All of the actors in that episode were equally supurb even kenan the little boy.... absolutely the best acting episode for any sci fi show across time
Once RDA left my interest in the show dropped off totally. Personal favourites are Window of Opportunity, Beneath the Surface and 100 Days.
Great list, I appreciate how you gave an overview of the whole season as well as it's 'best' episodes
I grew up watching Stargate with my Mom and I've loved it ever since. It is a little cheesy sometimes (not unlike most science fiction shows/movies) but I've always thought the writing was pretty good and its just a plain fun show that's not afraid to poke fun at itself. There are many episodes where major ethics and philosophical issues present themselves which make for great viewing for me as a philosophy major. I'm also an AF Security Forces veteran and its always cool to see the SF's doing there thing around Stargate Command. I wanted to go Army after high school but decided to go Air Force after my Dad's Army veteran friend convinced me to go AF. Sometimes I wonder if I subliminally joined the AF because of Stargate. LOL
I really liked the episode where that barber got linked to jack and started writing stories about SG:1s adventures I normally hate flashback episodes but that one was good.
Citizen Joe, it's the only flashback episode of anything I've ever actually enjoyed.
I personally think the best episode of season six is the one directed by Judge where he slips in and out of realities after a Jaffa ambush as he shares his symbiote with Bratac to keep them both alive
I think it was actually written by Judge.
That one is awesome, too.
Indeed
Window of opportunity was defo a classic. It showed the depth of Jack & Teal'c's character as they battled then enjoyed the consequence fun of the loop. Absolutely brilliant. 🤘🤘
Window of Opportunity is my favourite all-time episode.
I always liked those on-the-earth shady government thing episodes like Touchstone, Shades of Gray and Chain Reaction
I loved everytime they would go outside, on earth, like to drop by someone's place, or what have you. Teal'c's hats were always on point.
And the Russian stuff was always fun too. And Maybourne wasn't even mentioned 😮
I thought those were the worst episode. I thought the best were the independent moral dillema type episodes on planets.
The Torment of Tantalous was indeed a great episode, but for season 1 I preferred There but for the grace of God more. Daniel's visit to an alternate SGC who had succumbed to the Gaoul'd was so exciting to me.
I totally knew that "Fifth race episode was, is, and always will be the best and the most epic from second season - cuz not only thanks to asgard but also thanks to eight chevron, extra juice to stargate device and of course double vortex... in czech republic it´s pretty much legendary - the sentence "This is the Asgard planet, Othala, in the galaxy of Ida." simply sends electricity and chills down the spine from all the excitement and surprise.. I have the feeling everytime I see it !!!
I love the fifth race, but 1969 is hands down the best from that season.
Is it really that legendary? I kinda grew up on Atlantis tbh. But I definitely remember the quote, even the Asgard's voice, despite not seeing Stargate in Czech for for a few years. Last Stargate I have seen in Czech was when they first translated Universe (before that they broadcasted it here with just subtitles)
@@dustojnikhummer jo je!! vpravdě cokoliv co se v hvězdný bráně točilo okolo antiků a asgardů (nebo jejich technologie) je v české komunitě SG legendární.. je to analogické k tomu jak moc hystericky vtipný je díl Urgo (třetí řada šestnáctý díl).. ale abys mi špatně nerozumněl já miluju celý SG univerzum jak klasiku, tak Atlantis i Universe a všechny tři megafilmy.. přičemž Archa pravdy vyniká úplně nejvíc.. hlavně kvůli hudbě a historii Antiků, tehdejších Alteranů.. a jaký máš ty oblíbený díly??
One of my favorite is the one with the little boys Shifu, his line about evil and the subconscious is iconic.
I rediscovered this show on Amazon Prime and I haven’t been to work since.
Despite having watched this show easily over 10-15 times, i still watched all of this video with happiness! Oh, maybe because i am such a fan boy :o
Ledrash it’s just good even on rewatch!
All of these rightfully deserve their claim to fame as the best episodes of each season, however I always look forward to Season 5; Episode 12 "Wormhole X-Treme!" & Season 10; Episode 200 "200". I just love when shows, especially long running ones, that take a moment to celebrate the show and the actors who star in them. It is just enjoyable to see them all having fun for the sake of fun.
Urgo with the late, great Dom Deluise is a difficult episode to leave off the list. One of the funniest comedians ever!
I like that Dom DeLuise makes an indirect cameo in a season 9 episode where Mitchell's having lunch with a buddy. The Pizza boxes say "DeLuise and Sons" and there's a picture of Dom with Peter on the lid.
I liked that as much as I liked the obnoxious fat guy on Atlantis- the one with the love potion and personal shield.
@@davido.1233 huh..I missed that ! must check it out...Urgo is a good one though...
Urgo was to annoying (yeah he played it perfectly, but damn)
@Raymond Gadreault She was in two episodes, playing different characters. S04E02 The Other Side and S10E15 Bounty.
I love how the "fan favourite" episodes mostly are centred on a character exploration and growth.
I agree what you said at the start. Most people I know never even heard of stargate. When they ask me what its about I always reply its the perfect combination of action, adventure, drama, sci fi and human emotions. It will always be my favorite series. Always.
I also agree with most of the list. Although it is a hard choice. Even a top 5 or 10 each season would be hard.
I got the whole series Sg1 and atlantis on dvd. I think one of these days I m gonne have a rewatch. Prob my 10th or so.
Totally agree with you - Stargate SG1 is THE BEST series (not just sci fi series) of all time. The cast is spectacular - especially Richard Dean Anderson who is perfect as Jack O'Neill. The writing, the directing, the production, are all tops. But I love the interaction among the main characters the most - especially between Jack and Sam.
If I were going to sum up what you said about it being a perfect combination of action, adventure, drama, sci fi and human emotions (I would specifically add humor), I would simply say "Adventure and Discovery". Everything you said can be summed up in those two words.
I disagree with season 10. There is no better episode than Unending. Pure gold.
nofreenameforme123 I completely agree with you... It’s definitely in my top 3.
Agreed.
Also my favorite episode. Perfect ending.
Indeed
2:58 "... and MacGyver's a new power source..."
I see what you did there.
That one was for you, Chris!
@@GateWorldDotNet came one year later just to ike this
I'm honestly suprised that 200 wasn't voted as the best episode of season 10
IN THE MIDDLE OF MY BACKSWING.
Where was 200? That was gold!!!
yes 200 was great but that crossover between SG-1 and Atlantis called The Pegasus Project is a worthy winner indeed. My guess would be that 200 came in 2nd place in the poll.
200 can't hold a candle to Pegasus Project
Cant stand martin. Bumped it down a fair few places on my list
The black hole episode was brilliant, think it was early on.
Iron Bear Milk oh yeh! That was a good one
I loved how they presented the effects of gravity, time dilation, and the imminent doom of being sucked into a hole. SPOILERS Plus, the death of the SG at the beginning of the episode.
The episode right after The Fifth Race titled A Matter of Time.
After watching my choices different from the list:
Season 1, I have to go with the "There but for the grace of God" mirror universe episode
Season 7, Heroes Part 2 with an honorable mention for Lifeboat
"Urgo" should have at least gotten an honorable mention; or maybe I'm too much of a Dom DeLuise fan.
I'm happy with the list, I would have definitely had a huge rant if the groundhog day episode wasn't there!
Best quotes per episode on the list (did It from memory so maybe I’m off a bit here and there)
1) Meaning of life, stuff...
2) Nu ani anchi’etas
3) Replicat0rz (by Thor)
4) In the middle of my backswing!?
5) If you immediately know that candlelight is fire, the meal was cooked a long time ago..
6) Ba’al as in “bachy”?
7) Who are you really and why are you here?
8) I was working up the nerve to come and talk to you
9) it’s not magic (then getting beamed away in front of peasants)
10) Indeed, today we have achieved a great victory colonel Mitchel
i still thin that the ep of the nox was the best, second by the 1969
I"m going to finish it all now, and this was a great refresher! Thanks for the video very helpful!
I started watching the "recommended viewing order" and I stopped (2 year break) watching after finishing: Stargate the movie, SG1 S1-S7, then SG1 S8, Atlantis S1.
Window of Opportunity is my all time #1 favorite episode of SG1
The one where Daniel is stuck in South America. One of my favourites.
Central America actually. (Belize)
Yep. That had 2 parts, right?
@@marrenby Evolution Part 1 and 2 in the seventh season
Waterford1992 Thanks!
AKs for days :D
Dang, I so miss this show! I've been waiting and waiting for a new Stargate series. Granted, there's the web series, but I'd like a return to television a new Stargate series. Or if it has to be streamed, Netflix or Hulu should pick it up.
Unending is undoubtedly my fave episode (the very last episode). It's a brilliant character study and what-if scenario. You need to know the characters for this episode to work.
Agreed. I wouldn't call it a favorite because I find it difficult to watch (emotionally, I mean) and therefore don't watch it frequently, but it's absolutely brilliant.
I so had to hold back my tears in this episode. It was gorgeous.
Agreed. I know some people were disappointed that they didn't touch on the Ori plot, but I think they made the right choice by having the final episode be more character-driven and emotional.
Indeed!
@@vanyadolly That's something I noticed about the show. They wasted very little time on pointless denouement - following up after the climax of the plot to satisfy the viewer. If what comes after the climax is obvious, they didn't bother spending time to portray it. At the end of Unending, it's obvious what happens. The ship escapes, and Earth gets the Asgard weapons technology which allowed the Odyssey to single-handedly blow up 2 Ori ships. The war against the Ori was effectively won at that point. While it would've been fun to show all that (if the season had had 5 more episodes), it didn't really add anything to the episode itself since it's obvious. So they sacrificed it to make time for more scenes which contributed to the episode itself.
So sometimes the episodes are not as satisfying as they could be. But in exchange, they are jam-packed.
Bit late, but i wanna write some, too. My favorits have been: the not upcrowing kids who have to give their knowlege to their adults. (Showed sooooo much about Jacks character.
The timesloop - of cause!
Meeting Thor
Cometreya 😉
Death of the one and only doctor from SG1
And so much more!
Hope I can show this amazing show to my husband, once.
There were so many great episodes in the first 8 seasons. My favorite of season 1 was Sanctuary. Window of Opportunity was a shoe-in for season 4, but that season had so many strong episodes.
By the time Adria comes around she just takes all my concentration away from the story because Morena Baccarin is on another level of beauty. A 10/10! Good lord!
I loved every episode of SG1, my most favorite episodes are with the Asgards.
I would have to agree with the fans on this one. All of these were the best episodes of their respective seasons. I also quite liked the one where they travel to the 60s, or 70s or whatever, and drive around on the hippie bus :D
My greatest sci-fi t.v. shows
1)Stargate SG-1
2)Farscape
3)Babylon 5
4)Stargate Atlantis
5)Star Trek DS9
6)Firefly
7)Star Trek Voyager
8)Battlestar Galactic
9)Star Trek TNG
10)Alien Nation
I enjoyed all the shows you've listed, but I recommend you take a look at The Expanse now showing on Amazon Prime. Before seeing it my list would've been very similar to yours. But now the Expanse is in the top 3 perhaps #1. Truly an amazing show that ticks all the excellence boxes especially authentic science. I would also include Black Mirror as well.
@@marrenby Thanks man I'll check them out
Honestly, for me the show ended in season 8. 9 and 10 shouldn't have happened.
I'm glad Atlantis exists. And I'm glad they could experiment with Universe. But ugh SG-1 seasons 9 and 10 were awful.

Children of the Gods has to be my favorite from season one when the team is assembled and we meet Carter for the first time and she puts Jack in his place, and you see the respect Jack at that moment he has for her.
My favorites are basically any with the Asgard. Love those little guys.
The show had a lot of high points and kept getting better each season . Window of opportunity is one of my favorite of the entire ten seasons . It has a little of everything . The only thing that ever disappointed me was the fact they brought in new characters and only lasted two seasons and two movies .
I saw the movie than the series, best sci-fi show since Star-Trek!
Unsurprisingly, most of the picks here are among my top favorite episodes! The ones I would have voted differently on, however, would have been seasons 1, 6, 8, and 10.
My favorite season 1 episode is "There but for the Grace of God", my favorite season 6 episode is "Allegiance", my favorite season 8 episode was "Reckoning part 2", and my favorite season 10 episode was "the Quest part 1".
I would have also added some honorable mentions, namely "Thor's Hammer", "Thor's Chariot", "Dead Man Switch", "Double Jeopardy", "The Tomb", "Prophecy", "Evolution Part 2", "Prometheus Unbound", "Arthur's Mantle", and "Uninvited" as the entries.
I'd say Season 1 is a tie between TBFTGoG and ToT, both great episodes, either could have taken top spot and I think I would have gone with Prometheus for season 6 for it's introduction of the X-303
When Daniel called our Morigan I actually yelled “damit Daniel!” 😆
They could have gotten so much useful info from her while she was pretending to be a VI.
I could add a few episodes to this list but all in all, it's a good one.
In my opinion, Stargate remains one of the best shows. The Stargate itself is the most interesting part.
The whole idea of a portal that can be dialed to thousands of gates all over the universe is just mind-blowing.
What a great idea.
Window of opportunity is one of my favorite episodes as is learning curve which in itself is a very good episode as well
The Crystal Skull was my alltume favourite
3:26 Shows how bad my memory is. I thought the Ferlings (Furlings, Firlings?) were an Ewok joke from Wormhole Extreme :)
An interesting point is that Tretonin is an actual protein marker released into the bloodstream by damaged heart muscles.
My faves: the Ashin where Sam can't have kids and they discover genetic tampering to kill off the human race; the one where Sams father becomes Tokra (2parts); the 'return to the sixties and young Hammond; first meeting the Knox.....I can't seem to remember episode names well.
❤️❤️❤️Stargate SG1❤️❤️❤️
The episodes you listed are: 2010 (a favorite of mine also) ; The Tok'ra ; 1969 ; The Nox. All good episodes but I would definitely include Solitudes - s1 and Message in a Bottle - S2 for starters. A spectacularly good series! THE BEST!
Welp....that does it. Gotta rewatch SG1
I just realized what that reference was in that season 2 episode
LOVE, LOVE, THIS SERIES!!!! STILL WATCH RERUNS & IT IS A LEGENDARY TREASURE, FOR SURE!!!! EVERY EPISODE IS A PRECIOUS PIECE OF WORK EXCELLENTLY PORTRAYIING THEIR ROLES --THE CAST, RICHARD DEAN ANDERSON; MICHAEL SHANKS, AMANDA TAPPING, CHRISTOPHER JUDGE, WERE ALL MAGNIFICENT ACTORS!!! MUCH KUDOS TO THEM & ALL THEIR ADMIRED ACCOMPLISHMENTS!!!! CHEERS!!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰🦅🦅🦅🦅
My favorite episodes:
1x20 - There But For The Grace of God
2x15 - The Fifth Race
3x12 - Jolinar's Memories/3x13 - The Devil You Know
4x16 - 2010
5x21 - Meridian
6x15 - Paradise Lost
7x06 - Lifeboat
8x05 - Icon
9x19 - Crusade
10x03 - The Pegasus Project
I'm like SG1 S9 Episode 6: Beachhead
Beachhead is also very good episode in season 9. Personaly, this is my favorite season of entire show, so it's very difficult for me, to choose just one episode
Greatest Sci fi show of all time
totally agree - even more - the BEST series of any kind of all time!
Great vid... iv been rewatching Sg1 and Atlantis recently and although I think the Ori wasn't a very good villain, seasons 9 and 10 sure did have some amazing episodes. I miss Stargate, i wish they'd do more, it's the best sci-fi franchise of all time. Season 1 started the year I was born (24 years ago) and it still holds up today.
I like Abyss but I prefer The Changeling, that one really had me going.
My favorite episode of S1 was Solitudes. But it's so hard to choose. Unlike Star Trek TNG, SG-1 found its footing and "grew the beard" extremely quickly. TNG took 3 seasons to get really good, SG-1 was up to TNG S3 standards by the 5th episode.
Los mejores episodios de la serie una genial serie algún día espero mas de sg1
Such a great series, I can't argue against any of the fan picks.
I love the episode where they hyper space a meteor through the planet.
That one is called Fail Safe
Feel like if the Episode '201'0 had been in any season other than 4 with Window of Opportunity it would have been a Season winner
Thats interesting, I actually found it to be one of the least interesting as it was predictable and completely contradicts the previous time-travel story that it cant even exist without, to each their own I suppose.
One of my personal favorites is "A Matter of Time". Nice video btw.
My List before watching th video.
Season 1 - There But for the Grace of God
Season 2 - The Fifth Race
Season 3 - Crystal Skull
Season 4 - 2010
Season 5 - Wormhole X-Treme!
Season 6 - Cure
Season 7 - Birthright
Season 8 - Moebius 1 & 2
Season 9 - Ripple Effect
Season 10 - The Pegasus Project
how can you chose 2010 over Window of Opportunity?
Window of Opportunity and "The black hole episode" are my top 100% :D
Conclusion: Stargate sure knew how to end a season
They really should have joked about O'Neill MacGyvering the power supply... either in its construction or that he used a paperclip, rubberband, and some duck tape to finishe it off.
Almost all perfect... I would swap Pegasus project with Unending though
agreed. sad ep imo.
sad that it doesn't include Jack... but that would have undermined the decades Sam dedicates to fixing the problem, her attention would have been elsewhere. GOAT episode in my opinion
I can remember this show bringing my family together so many times
Stargate is the best sci-fi show ever and I wish it hadn't come to an end. It was brilliant.
I also wish Stargater SG1 had not ever come to an end....and I especially wish Richard Dean Anderson could have stayed with the series. HE MADE STARGATE what it was. I understand about him wanting to be able to raise his daughter. But how we miss him in Stargate. If he had stayed, I think SG1 could have gone on for another 10 years!!!!
Great list. Nearly perfect. I'd say Summit was the best episode of season 5.
Personal choices:
There are only 3 episodes throughout the whole 10 seasons i can do without; One False Step, the first ones, emancipation. Absolutley love all the rest.
Only thing to say is how much I miss this series and how much I hope they do a reboot with the original writers
No to reboot, it would destroy all the history that has been created. Expand on the storyline. Maybe even a prequel movie and/or series that tells the story of the fall of the Ancients and rise of the Goa'uld and Wraiths.
Have all the episodes plus the movies....have watched them so many times I've lost count. how many of the strange happenings are coming to be true...
I always enjoyed the space battle episodes
Indeed
I just finished re-watching the series so here are my picks
Season 1-Cold Lazarus
Season 2-A Matter of Time
Season 3-Foothold
Season 4-Window of Opportunity
Season 5-Revelations
Season 6-Allegiance
Season 7-Lost City
Season 8-Reckoning
Season 9-Prototype
Season 10-The Shroud
Great list! Thanks for posting it.
just gonna say this now before watching. if i don't see window of oppurtunity on this list, i'm gonna be disappointed.
edit: i am not disappointed.
What a fun review of the whole series! Totally agree with all these favorites.
Season 2 = 1969
Season 6 = Shadow Play or Frozen
The Dakara-device is NOT a weapon. I have no idea why people keep referring to it as such. It's a form of terraforming device (recreation device).
Its only ever use in the show is as a weapon, so that explains why it keeps being referred to as one.
Shades of Grey and Lifeboat are the most underrated Stargate SG-1 episodes.
I was expecting 1969 and Unending to be on this list, even the 2 part Moebius. Anyway cheers!
I was rather surprised that Unending was not on the list nor did many people mention it in the comments, it is my all time favorite episode.
I still liked Worm Hole Extreme ! It's what I do.
hated all the Ori episodes
hated Daniel being ascended and not being able to interfere
hate Anubis
hated all the other ascended beings not being able to interfere
Hallowed are the ori
Dat Flopper Hollywood are the Ori
Ori vs Replicators! Who is more vulnerable?
An there was no P.C bullshit in this show !
Just entertainment :-)
I am positively shocked that Abyss was voted the best episode from season 6...I mean pretty great episode but there were so many more terrific ones. But then Threads is probably my favorite episode from the entire run and the list was pretty solid other than that.
