Stargate SG-1: New Order: Part 1 (2004)
Season 8, Episode 1
7/10
Heading Downhill And Fast
10 December 2018
Warning: Spoilers
Having seen every episode of this 10 season show at least 3 times, this is the best episode (of the last 3 seasons). I think Season 7 should have been the very last. Seasons 8, 9 & 10 are quite bad. Their new threat is truly boring. Other than having to "thaw out" O'Neill, which should have been dealt with differently. Season 8 was ho-hum with the replicators, but 9 & 10 are truly woeful and the show goes downhill with the completely to the bottom with the religious aspect of "The Ori". "Stargate Atlantis" has begun. As far as the 2 different actors playing Dr. Weir, that was simply because of who was available. I saw Jessica Steen, (the actress who played the first "Dr. Weir") had film roles waiting. Briefly, actress Torri Higginson (the second and final ("Dr. Weir"), goes on to play the first 3 full Seasons of the aforementioned "Stargate Atlantis" (which is 5 seasons). Fortunately, Amanda Tapping is her replacement in Season 4; albeit only appearing in a dozen or so episodes. She had her own show starting up, "Sanctuary" which I really liked. It had 4 seasons & was very clever. In fact, it was the first online streaming show available filmed using "Red" cameras in HD, which were very expensive back then. It also drew upon a very clever premise. Anyway, SG-1 went downhill from here. Ben Browder takes over O'Neill's "smart alec caustic quipping" role, & does it poorly. Later, SG1 fans. Go straight to "SGA"; now.
