So, I've been this show called SG-1....
Starting on March 10, I have now watched all of the ten (!) seasons of Stargate SG-1. That's 214 episodes x 43 minutes = 153 hours = 6,4 days. Heh.
Of the 214 episodes, I found a handful to be downright bad, the majority to be okay and several to be good or even great. For my own benefit, I've made a list of the episodes I found to be good or great. The summaries are from tv.com, and some don't give a very good description of the episode, but I've used them anyway to make things easier.
11. The Torment of Tantalus
Stargate explorer - Dr. Ernest Littlefield went through the Gate in 1945. But he never returned, so SG-1 sets out to recover him.
20. There But For the Grace of God
While investigating P3R-233, Daniel stumbles across a device that projects him into a parallel dimension. In this universe, Carter and O'Neill are engaged, and Teal'c is still First Prime of Apophis. Using the knowledge "our" Daniel has, the SGA launches a nuclear attack on Chulak through the Stargate. This results in a counter-attack as the Goa'uld send a horde of Pyramid Ships to destroy the parallel Earth, and Teal'c refuses to be swayed by those who wiped out his family. The parallel SGC (known as the SGA) must somehow dial out of their Stargate and get Daniel back to the planet so he can return to "his" universe.
2. In the Line of Duty
While on an off-world rescue mission, Sam becomes possessed by a Goa'uld symbiote.
9. Secrets
Jackson and Teal'c travel back to Abydos to fulfill a promise he made to Shau're's father Kasuf. When they arrive, Daniel learns that his wife, whom he hasn't seen since she was taken by the Goa'uld, is nine months pregnant. The father is Apophis, who plans to use the baby as his new host.
11. The Tok'ra (1)
Through a dream, Captain Carter sees herself as Jolinar of Malkshur, running through a maze of blue walls and brightly coloured people. She stops at a DHD to dial an address. This, so she claims, is the Tok'ra base. So, SG-1 goes off the contact the Tok'ra. Meanwhile, Captain Carter's father, Jacob, has cancer and it is getting worse.
12. The Tok'ra (2)
The Tok'ra turns down a request for an alliance against the Goa'uld because Earth doesn't offer enough rewards to justify the security breach. Selmak, a Tok'ra whose host is dying, requests a human host. Carter suggests her father, Jacob Carter, who is dying of cancer.
15. The Fifth Race
While on the planet P3R-272, SG-1 comes across an ancient device that downloads a vast amount of knowledge into Jack’s brain. Jack has the task of helping Daniel solve ancient mysteries while trying to save himself from braindeath due to the overwhelming stress.
16 A Matter of Time
SG-10 is on a planet when its sun becomes a black hole, and the Stargate link back to Earth threatens to destroy first Stargate Command and then the entire planet.
17. Holiday

18. Serpent's Song
Pursued by Goa'uld, Apophis, throws himself on the mercy of SG-1. Despite his past evil, SG-1 grants him sanctuary. Apophis, who shows signs of having been tortured, is slowly dying and reveals that he is being pursued by an ancient and powerful Goa'uld named Sokar, the original god of death.
4. Legacy
Daniel starts going crazy after SG-1 visits a planet where SG-1 found nine dead Goa'uld. The doctors believe he is suffering from the effects of traveling through the gate.
6. Point of View
Alternate reality versions of Carter and Kawalsky use the quantum mirror to arrive at a secured building in the top secret Area 51 in "our" universe. In their reality Jack was married to Dr. Carter before his death at the hands of the Goa'uld, Teal'c is still in the service of Apophis, Kawalsky is still alive, and Carter is a civilian Doctor. Dr. Carter begins to suffer from temporal distortion caused by travel through the quantum mirror. "Our" Carter determines that her alternate will die unless she is returned to her alternate reality - unfortunately that's also a death sentence since the Goa'uld have swarmed that universe's SGC. SG-1 must use their present day resources and knowledge to return with their new acquaintances and overthrow the Goa'uld.
10. Forever in a Day
In the middle of a battlefield Daniel and Amonet meet in a tent. Amonet uses her hand device on Daniel, and he passes out. When he awakes Amonet (and Shau're) are dead, their body's stored in the mortuary. Daniel is really depressed and resigns from the Stargate Project, but when he wakes up next morning Shau're is right beside him. All signs in life tell Daniel that Shau're is dead, he even went to her funeral. Yet he keeps seeing her everywhere, in his bathroom, at the SGC, even at her own funeral. Is there something keeping her back from finding peace?
11. Past and Present
SG-1 travels to a planet whose inhabitants seem to be suffering from mass retrograde amnesia. They have no memory of their lives before the unknown event they call the "Vorlix", and report that their elders and children are missing. The planet faces complete devastation unless the people's memories can be restored. The inhabitants introduce Ke'ra, a brilliant and personable young woman who has come to be the leader of her people. She and Daniel Jackson develop a mutual attraction. Ke'ra returns to Earth with SG-1 in hopes that her existing research on the Vorlix may help them find a cure. But as the investigation progresses, SG-1 begins to suspect that Ke'ra may not be who or what she appears.
15. Pretense
An unknown user attempts to come through the gate. It is Narim, the Tollan, who first sends Schrodinger, Sam's gift to him, to identify himself. He follows, using Tollan technology to pass through the iris. He tells SG-1 that Klor'el/Ska'ara has crashed in a death glider. Klor'el was temporarily not in control, and Ska'ara has requested that the Tollan restore his body to him. Jack and Daniel have been chosen as archons to represent Skaara in a Triad, a Tollan trial to decide whether the body belongs to Klor'el or Ska'ara. Meanwhile Sam and Teal'c find out that the Goa'uld who accompanied Klor'el's archon do strange things in their free time...
18. Shades of Grey
When the Tollan refuse to share technology, even after SG-1 saved the planet from a Goa'uld attack, Jack gets angry and steals a device from them. Jack does not see how that was wrong, and can choose between court martial or early retirement. He prefers the retirement, and is contacted by Colonel Maybourne. Maybourne tells Jack that there is an offworld base that has a few teams that retrieve alien technology the hard way when the SG teams fail to do so the diplomatic way. Jack requests to be sent to Eudora (from the episode "A Hundred Days") to retire. From there he then dials Maybourne's offworld base to become a team leader there.

When he finds Thor he is informed these are replicators, an even greater enemy to the Asgard than the Goa'uld. He tells O'Neill that they (Asgard) need his help to defeat them.
2. The Other Side
