This is supposed to be the last season, right? The show was canceled, yes? Well, yes and no. Instead of tying up, or even really making any sort of climactic progress against the armies of the Ori, this is just another season of Stargate SG-1. They’ve got just as many retrospective episodes, character history episodes, Jaffa infighting, Baal (GOD! JUST SHUT UP YOU CLONED JERK), the NID, actual Goa’uld implantations, and Tok’ra bailouts as past seasons. What it doesn’t have is a conclusion. In fact, it has the opposite of a conclusion. Hell, it didn’t have a buildup or climax, so why would it have a conclusion?

I enjoyed nearly every episode, on its own. But even if it hadn’t been the last season, there would have been a cliffhanger at the end. It feels like I was in the passenger seat of a car that was being driven off a cliff.

Because of the strength of the individual episodes, the small amounts of Ori plot advancement that did happen, the twist involving Baal and Vala’s daughter, I gave this one four stars. Let’s hope that the movie ties up -something- besides a rushed and forced bow-out of the Asgard. I mean, REALLY.
