Despite the predictable conclusion, "Stargate SG-1," leaves many character threads dangling tantalizingly. If you aren't careful, this series could definitely hook you. [27 Jul 1997]

The two-hour premiere is sort of fun, but the plot is nutty even by sci-fi standards.

This is actually one of the better episodes. I'd have to stray from the average for sg-1 to accurately rate this episode.

A great sci-fi tv series that should have been canceled several seasons before it actually ended.

Stargate SG-1 is mainstream sci-fi television of the no-brainer genre. Light on intellectual depth and heavy on action, it seems destined to play toward a younger age group than the Star Trek and Babylon 5 sort of science fiction shows. [24 Jul 1997]

"SG-1" is a passable action series on a par with most syndicated sci-fi fare. Its only real distinguishing feature is [a] ludicrous, completely gratuitous nude scene. [26 Jul 1997]

The TV pilot, like the theatrical film, is long on hardware and gunplay and short on logic. [24 Jul 1997]

Anyone with fond memories of [the] film should avoid "Stargate SG-1," Showtime's oddly enervated series version. ... "Stargate SG-1" will be a treat only for those who love science fiction most when it's done badly. [26 Jul 1997]

Pedestrian writing, pulp-mag plotting, shopworn characters, hackneyed dialogue ('with all due respect' pops up at least three times in the first hour) and Mario Azzopardi’s broad direction will all undoubtedly delight billions and billions.

Best sci-fi show there ever was or ever will be. Not really explainable, you have to watch it yourself. No noticeable quality dips throughout its 10 seasons. It's got plenty of action (terrible accuracy of course) and humor.

Really the best scifi show ever! Great character, great synergy between them, great plot and lot of plausible scientific background make it a very entertaining show!

Unlike most of the reviewers here, I must be the only one to have actually watched other sci-fi shows. The acting on Stargate was embarrassing, the writing mediocre to poor, and the stories repetitive and simpleminded. Not to mention the silly costumes and "special" effects. Anyone who feels this is the "best" sci-fi series out there needs an injection of taste or to seriously broaden their horizons. The humor of the show is to be laughed at, not with. The original Battlestar Galactica from the 1970's is better than this joke of a series, but it seems only "fans" choose to comment. Snap out of it.
