I can't say Seth made much of an impression, but like you I realy like Message In A Bottle, one of the truly dramatic entries in the franchise where the characters really let down their walls.<br /><br />Also, I can't remember Fail Safe all that well. You have me very interested in giving that one another look.

Both are great stand alone episodes, and it was fun to see how SG-1 handles the classic "asteroid" scenario. Also, Message in a Bottle is one Ive watched many times.

It's a good bit of, as you said, "self-indulgent" fun, but certainly would not rank among the finest of its 10 year run. <br /><br />Heck I would put a good, solid episode like Beachhead above 200.<br /><br />Also, good call on Foothold, a solid entry.<br /><br />Episodes by our favorite franchises that take liberties can be fun, but don't normally measure up to the standards set within the rules established by the given franchise and thus can either be successful or unsuccessful. I liked 200 but it wouldn't be in a Top 10 or even 20. <br /><br />Thanks for your input.<br />sffSFFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04256589316922398158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1031498593064294214.post-51457240920631029292012-07-29T22:13:58.314-04:002012-07-29T22:13:58.314-04:00I have to express my surprise at some of the opini...I have to express my surprise at some of the opinions about best and worst...especially regarding "200" - the absolute worst, most self-indulgent bit of tripe from the entire Stargate franchise. I don't recall all of the episodes listed, but I did love "Window of Opportunity" and "Foothold," as well as most of the time travel (or parallel universe) episodes - except for "1969". (Couldn't make sense of the paradox issue.) I really liked "2010" (and its sequel "2001") and am quite surprised actually that so many fans don't, in fact hate it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1031498593064294214.post-75905294141827360372012-07-24T14:36:57.565-04:002012-07-24T14:36:57.565-04:00I agree that Window Of Opportunity is an exception...I agree that Window Of Opportunity is an exceptional entry.

But, here's my initial stab at...<br /><br />Top 10 Episodes of Stargate: SG-1<br />=========================<br />4.06 "Window of Opportunity"<br />7.17 "Heroes, Part 1" (top 5)<br />7.18 "Heroes, Part 2" (top 5)<br />8.19 "Moebius, Part 1" (top 5)<br />8.20 "Moebius, Part 2"<br />9.06 "Beachhead"<br />9.15 "Ethon"<br />10.03 "The Pegasus Project" (top 5)<br />10.06 "200" (top 5)<br />10.20 "Unending"<br /><br />Honorable Mentions<br />=========================<br />2.15 "The Fifth Race"<br />2.21 "1969"<br />3.16 "Urgo"<br />4.03 "Upgrades"<br />7.22 "Lost City, Part 2"<br />8.01 "New Order, Part 1"<br />8.07 "Affinity"<br />8.08 "Covenant"<br />8.12 "Prometheus Unbound"<br />8.18 "Threads"<br />9.13 "Ripple Effect"<br />9.20 "Camelot, Part 1"<br />10.08 "Memento Mori"<br />10.13 "The Road Not Taken"<br />10.15 "Bounty"<br />10.16 "Bad Guys"Todd W in NChttp://umberhaven.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1031498593064294214.post-11682070173158841012011-02-28T20:09:14.944-05:002011-02-28T20:09:14.944-05:00Funny you mention Kurt Russell.

Anderson really took the role to new heights. He was a amazing and he owns the part.<br /><br />Never caught on to the whole mullet look and the whole MacGuyver show. I just never watched it so my impressions of Anderson going into Stargate were a completely blank canvas. That makes a difference with any actor and role I'm sure.<br /><br />Thanks L13 for making me further consider why I enjoyed Anderson as O'Neill.SFFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04256589316922398158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1031498593064294214.post-76424647786478854332011-02-28T13:04:24.230-05:002011-02-28T13:04:24.230-05:00Fine overview of these episodes, SFF.

But there was a lot to be said about Richard Dean Anderson assuming the role (though, Kurt Russell's intro portrayal from the film remains a firm fixture in my mind) and getting away from the MacGuyver pigeonhole he found himself in. Enjoyed reading this, my friend. Thanks.le0pard13https://www.blogger.com/profile/09421175808461787862noreply@blogger.com
