I sure hope season two is better than season one. Let's just say some of season one episodes are better than others.
Season 1 is not the best, but seasons 2 - 5... wow!

Odd. Hathor is one we decidedly did NOT like.
Writing seems uneven, episode to episode, or even within an episode. Oh well, only two more episodes to go on disc 4.
Folks, you have to remember, this series began on Showtime and they had it in what was then their "Sci-Fi Friday" line-up, along with The New Outer Limits and The Twilight Zone. The latter lasted, what, 2 seasons, while the New Outer Limits ran 3-4 seasons. So, SG1 was trying to find it's footing during the 1st season. The writers and producers were working out the whole scifi/horror/fantasy genre thing and the mix in the style and quality of the episodes in the first season shows that struggle with the "what are we?" question. Seasons 2-5, which were all on Showtime also, shows how they worked it out and found out "what they were" very clearly, particularly from about mid-season 2 through 5, and then seasons 6-10 on what is now Syfy.
Seasons 2-5 will always be my favorites, but 6-10 has also has loads of terrific episodes and story arcs...just not quite as rock-solid as seasons 2-5...

I'm running low on space in my bedroom dvr, yet still hate to delete Revelations, Meridian, Sentinel & Last Stand (all HD) along with the final 6 SGU episodes... (Directv dvr so can't archive to EHDD)...
Nice concise and accurate summary.
Well said.
Thanks. I have my lucid moments, from time-to-time.

1969 is a terrific episode.
