A gradual shift in overall style, character homecomings and departures, and evolving on- and off-screen roles for the major players are among the attractions of the seventh season of Stargate SG-1. Spread out over five discs, these 21 episodes are ample indication that changes notwithstanding--and admittedly, not all of them are for the better--the series remains arguably the best-made, most compelling sci-fi program on television. Perhaps most noticeable is the reduced role of star Richard Dean Anderson, who opted to limit his number of trips to Vancouver, where Stargate SG-1 is filmed. But that's not a bad thing. The show's ability to poke fun at itself has always been a strong suit, and while Anderson still brings a welcome sense of humor to his portrayal of wiseacre and loose cannon Col. Jack O'Neill, his act is getting a little smug by now. What's more, the other principal cast members have taken up the slack, both behind and in front of the camera: Michael Shanks (Daniel Jackson, who rejoins the cast in episode 1) wrote one episode and co-wrote another; Christopher Judge (Teal'c) wrote one as well; Amanda Tapping (Lt. Col. Samatha Carter) directed episode 19, "Resurrection"; and even Corin Nemec (Jonas Quinn, who appears in just a few episodes) contributed one story. The seventh season also finds the series somewhat more earthbound than in the past; indeed, there are episodes in which the Stargate (the "wormhole" our heroes use to travel to different worlds) doesn't appear at all. On balance, the stories are more personal, and more political--especially the final two, with the newly elected U.S. President (William Devane) struggling to decide the fate of the Stargate program (and, of course, the fate of the entire known universe as well!). And then there's the ultimate villain, Anubis, who makes perennial nemeses the Goa'uld (of which Anubis is one... sort of) look tame. He's a combination of Star Wars' Darth Vader and evil Emperor, but hey, at least these guys borrow from the best. Stargate SG-1's production values remain first-rate. The bonus DVD features are also much better than they once were, with audio commentary (mainly by directors and writers) for every episode, as well as director profiles and "Beyond the Gate" featurettes focusing on individual characters. --Sam Graham

Average Customer Rating: 4.0 out of 5
1) Star gate SG-1 season [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Very good I would recommended this series. We really enjoyed watching this series. We have the complete set now.2) Stargate SG-1 Season 7 [Rating: 4 out of 5]
For myself, this is one of the most endearing seasons of SG-1. Granted, Richard Dean Anderson is clearly not as into the part as in past seasons, but I felt that the thematic elements and progression of the season was some of the best in the series. I particularly liked the documentary crew episodes and the final battle with Anubis. It made for some great Space Opera.3) Life Saving for Me [Rating: 5 out of 5]
After the recent accident I was in distress and also had to stay home because I was ill. This Stargate SG-1 was able to distract my mind from worrying and suffering from physical discomfort. The story is interesting, and I find the characters' personalities and their interaction amusing. Since this program's story setting was deviated from my daily life, I was able to forget my suffering while I watched the program and now I love Stargate series. Very entertaining.4) I can't believe they killed off my fav character!!! [Rating: 3 out of 5]
This season was actually pretty dissappointing as compared to the previous. I was glad to have Daniel back, but it was lacking in something. In its defense, I absolutely loved the episode "Lifeboat." That episode alone is enough to make the entire season worth while. I didn't care for such episodes as "Chimera" as I didn't care at all for the Pete character, nor am I interested in Sam's love life. I'm interested in SG 1 and their galactic travels. But setting all that aside, the major thing that ruined the 7th season for me was Dr. Janet Fraiser's death. I thought it was totally unneccessary and I mourned her death for weeks. In fact, I still am. How could they kill her off? And they replaced her with the uninteresting spoiled brat "Dr. Lam". They didn't even give her a descent death! Sam's speach was good, but come on! She's been with the SGC for seven loyal years, saved hundreds, if not thousands of lives, she wouldn't give up on patients even when others would have, she adopted an alien . . . why did they kill her off???? But again, the episode "Lifeboat" makes up for a lot of mistakes. And Teryl Rothery (Dr. Fraiser) got a Leo Award Nomination for best supporting actress for that episode. All in all, "Lifeboat" is a great episode and it gets 10 stars!!!! As for the rest of the season? Average at best. Seasons 1 through 5 are far superior. But, if you're a hard core Stargate person like me, you'll add this season to your collection anyway. X35) Best Season of them all! [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Stargate:SG-1, overall, is an amazing show. Each season has its moments, but I think the most moments are shown in this particular season(7). It's very refreshing to have Daniel back and to pursue story lines more on his character, as well as finally getting somewhere in finding the lost city. Lots of character development and we finally see some sort of relationship between Sam and Jack, not that it has to be anything more than friends. Just a beautiful season, with a huge ending that beats the ending of them all!
