It now seems clear that season 5 of Stargate SG-1 will be remembered as the one in which something went awry with Daniel Jackson. Lots of behind-the-scenes rumors fueled the idea of cast tension, but whatever the problem, his sudden departure from the show was obviously through a quickly contrived scenario. In retrospect, there must have been a problem for some while before the weird penultimate episode ('Meridian'). Michael Shanks looks frequently bored in his rare moments of individual screen time as he infiltrates a Goa'uld meeting and even when making friends with a creature everyone else wants dead. In fact, there's only one point when everyone really seems to be having fun, and that's in the spoof 100th episode 'Wormhole X-treme!'
Most shows go through a run-around, skin-of-their-teeth period awaiting renewal, and it certainly seems to have affected storylines this year. For example, a next generation of younger SG teams is introduced. Replacements? The most unfortunate aspect of things, however, was that not a single episode managed to stand alone on its own merits. Every single story was dependent on a part of the greater interwoven warring-species threads. Some of the one-off tales were terrific in and of themselves, but it was as if the writers fell into the trap of having to refer to as much backstory as possible, perhaps to ensure loose ends could be easily wrapped up? Ultimately none of this mattered since the show went on for quite a while. --Paul Tonks

I ordered the Stargate Seaon 5 DVD for a gift and was very impressed with the professionalism of using Amazon.com. The DVD was of great quality and it was sent to me so fast. I will always use Amazon.com for anything I can.
Rating: - Great Season
Richard Dean Anderson, Amanda Tapping, Chris Judge & Michael Shanks makes this show what it is today. I think that every season is getting better & better, I hope that Stargate SG-1 stays on course for many more season's and more motion pictures on the big screen. Thanks to all the writers and directors
Rating: - Great Season!!!!
This series was "one of a kind" as long as Richard Dean Anderson is in it! This is the last season before Daniel (Michael Shanks) takes his "vacation". He reappears in season 7.
Rating:  - Stargate SG1 Season 5
Season five was good... we find out how the replicators originated and as always there is a new threat that the team has to contend with.... the sadest momemt was in the 2nd to last episode where one of the team members dies....
Peter Wingfield (highlander) returns in "Between two Fires" briefly as he helps wipe out the Tolans for not successfully exterminating the people of earth.
Christina Cox (FX: the series) returns in "the sentinel" to repair a machine that helped protect an alien world from outside threats.... a revelation occurs at the end of the episode.... she is lifted out of prison to help SG1 and given life in prison instead of being in death row....
Corin Nemec (Parker Louis Can't Lose) plays an alien who knows the real truth of the sacrifice that one of the team members made and only tells his people at the very end.... after that he steals some very important minerals from them and gives it to stargate command....

My entire family enjoys the stargate series. We find it to be well written, creatively produced, and with very little to no objectional material in it. Col. O'Neill may let the occasional bad word fly but he is never vulgar, and there are never any explicit scenes. Even the bad guys have "class" for the most part. Because of the action/adventure nature of the show there is some violence. The story line is fun to follow and fascinating. It's definitely addicting. It's refreshing to find a series that appeals to both adults and children and yet remains a faithfully clean show.
