In the roles of Colonel Jack O’Neill and Dr Daniel Jackson respectively are Richard Dean Anderson and Michael Shanks. They are joined by Captain Samantha Carter (Amanda Tapping) and guilt-stricken former alien baddie Teal’c (Christopher Judge) to form the primary unit SG-1. With a seemingly endless network of Stargates found to exist on planets all across the known universe, their mission is to make first contact with as many friendly races as possible.
Episodes on this disc: “Meridian”, “Revelations”.It’s Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan all over again as Daniel Jackson decides the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, sacrificing himself for the greater good in “Meridian”. The departure of Michael Shanks is both sudden and suspicious. His Season 6 replacement–Corin Nemec as Jonas Quinn–is quickly established too. So much intrigue will leave regular viewers puzzled, especially since this is only the penultimate cliffhanger to the year.
“Revelations” are aplenty at the end of year five. Earth’s seemingly all-powerful allies the Asgard show yet more chinks in their armour. The SG-1 teams’ grief over Daniel is remarkably short-lived. And behind the scenes a change of US broadcast channels could mean anything might happen between now and next year. Is this the beginning of the end?
