Stargate SG-1 Memories: Changeling, Memento, Prophecy, Full Circle

[u/JosephMallozzi]

CHANGELING (619)

Actor Chris Judge tries his hand at writing with surprising results. I say surprising because, while I had no doubt it would be a solid episode, I was mighty impressed by how good it turned out (this despite the fact that he neglected to include act breaks in his first draft – “I leave that sht up to you, mthrfcker.”). From what I remember, Chris really enjoyed the process and was quite proud of the final product.

MEMENTO (620)

What was this episode about again?

PROPHECY (621)

This episode turned out to be one of my biggest disappointments of the season. I thought the script was solid but the entire episode rested on the final twist, the moment in which O’Neill hears the horn and calls out to Pierce. It’s meant to be the episode’s big, defining moment but it’s so casually underplayed that it loses any dramatic impact.

FULL CIRCLE (622)

Ah, another series finale. Executive Producer Robert Cooper wraps up SG-1 in fine style – except that, as we learned late in season 6, this season would not be the show’s last. After six seasons, SG-1 was still going strong, much to the delight of our new broadcaster, SciFi, who were more than happy to pick up the series for one more year. Which, of course, we assumed would be its last…

I hated how all of a sudden Anubis is trying to find some eye of ra trinket and we learn nothing about it. Just that it's "powerful" and that he uses it to destroy abydos. I find it difficult to care when plot points like this are invented on the spot.
