Top 10 Best Stargate SG1 Episodes

[@DrendarMorevo]

Fifth and probably not last person to say this, "Window of Opportunity."

[@maxhax367]

yep

[@Tedinator01]

In the middle of my BACKSWING?!

[@theblackcelt]

Upgrades was pretty funny

[@matthewmacrow8142]

Straight swap with 200 for me. Martin lloyd is by far my least favourite character of the series

[@Scottlp2]

Best time loop story in all of SF

[@jscotthatcher380]

fully agree with this list... although i would have gave an honourable mention to Window of Opportunity. i enjoy that episode for its lighthearted humour and callback to Groundhog Day.

[@chrissonofpear3657]

And what about Reckoning, Threads, and Meridian?

[@jscotthatcher380]

Lets Have A Discussion wrongo. apparently you never watched sg-1. 😜

[@jscotthatcher380]

Lets Have A Discussion oh ok so you are totally correct on everything... f you.

[@jscotthatcher380]

Lets Have A Discussion and we've gone full circle. screw you, moron.

[@sterlingroberts6240]

Window of Opportunity is my favorite(and many other fans), but he probably doesn’t like it purely by it being O’Neill-centric.

[@DavidGreen_au]

One of my favourites is "Window of Opportunity", the 'Ground-hog Day' episode. It was good to see the O'Neill & Teal'c behaving in an abnormal situation. I'm not a fan of golf, but that scene was quite funny, amongst others.

[@RowanJColeman]

Window of Opportunity was almost there. The way I chose the episodes ended up coming down to a coin flip.

[@SkinnerTBD]

it was a fun episode. best is debatable.

[@chrissonofpear3657]

And Reckoning is also left out...

[@stantondinger5836]

"IN THE MIDDLE OF MY BACKSWING?!!!!!!!!"

[@Martiandawn]

Excellent choices. I would rank “1969” and “2010” among my favorite episodes as well.

[@briandyer9661]

These episodes along with 2001, where the plot of 2010 almost repeats but they discover the truth behind the Aschen before making any treaties.

[@Martiandawn]

Brian Dyer, indeed! 2001 provided a lovely closure for the Aschen story arc.

[@grahampayne6221]

I agree 1969&the episode which remained me of ground hog day

[@Aurora-313]

I tend to watch 2010 and 2001 sequentially, and I like to pick out the tells and foreshadowing in 2001 that'd lead to 2010. I like it.

[@mnealbarrett]

GROUNDHOG DAY!! (I forget the actual name of the episode, but Stargate fans know exactly the episode I am talking about)

[@steveconsultant4523]

My favorite humor episode is still Urgo. Yes, it was almost all quips and ad libs, but it was still brilliant.

[@chevon1920]

SteveS Consultant yea, i love urgo, hes so cute!!

[@Jtbradbury12]

Got to agree with you. Any time you can have the late great Dom Deluise on screen is golden.

[@russellflemister393]

[@BJBoes83]

Stil crack up every time tealc poors the whole coffee pot down his throat and goes like aaahhh with his jaw almost cartonishly sticking out. And hammond asking him "isnt that tot?" And tealc goes "extremely"

[@jonathanlindsey463]

i agree and the episode o’neal and te’alc r stuck in a time loop, the look on their faces when daniel tells them u could do anything without worrying about the consequences is priceless... those two episodes r hilarious

[@BogeyTheBear]

Though it wouldn't count here, "Citizen Joe" is one of the best things you can do with a clip show: introduce genuine jeopardy into the frame story. Sure, you can put your heroes on trial or in a coma and fill out the episode with past events, but you know they're going to get out of it at the end because the typical framing story is too brief and tenuous to deliver any weighty consequences. In "Citizen Joe", we get a wholly new and contained story with its own progressing arc that puts the protagonist into real danger. It's just that said protagonist is a barber from Indiana.

[@stephenblevins3829]

Probably one of the best clip shows ever.

[@Coolman13355]

YOU RUINED MY LIFE

[@cyrusol]

The episode where Ba'al tortured O'Neill by repeatedly killing and reviving him is one of my favorites. The dynamic between ascended Daniel Jackson and O'Neill was awesome and heartbreaking.

[@BogeyTheBear]

It got dark when Jack asked Daniel to make sure his next stint in a sarcophagus would be his last...

[@marsspacex6065]

Abyss

[@jasmeenmalhotra2225]

Utterly bewildered and delighted by the fact that someone who clearly loves this show as much as I do is capable of disliking Jack and liking the Ori storyline. Whaaaaa? I literally have no words to explain my shock at this. But I bloody well hope that you have more Stargate videos because I'm so excited to further explore your not-at-all controversial opinions. Thank you for this wonderfully nuanced and nostalgic compilation.

[@TheStargazer0118]

I agree, Jack is awesome and so funny. For me he made the show and was the leader for a reason, RDA great presence, swagger and credibility as a badass.

[@Foebane72]

I always LOVED the Aschen two-parter, 2010 and 2001!

[@TruthWiz]

Agreed!

[@killwalker2474]

Actually yea. Thats one of my favorites too

[@paulagardner3218]

2010 makes my list.

[@DavidSmith-fs5qj]

@@paulagardner3218 The only gripe about 2010, was that it should have been a two part episode, if not an ongoing arc. The scene in which Sam approaches Jack and Jack is so bitter and angry, really giving Sam the third degree. I just wish that they could have gone back to the first meeting with the Ashen, and shown Jack as a lone voice, sensing something is wrong. What makes it worse is, shortly after this scene, Jack is back in the SGC, it's like, "ok, i have changed my mind", it was gtoo rushed, why had he changed his mind? The brilliant Teryl Rothery was also given an all to rare opportunity to shine, it would have been nice if she and Daniel had been in a relationship, also trying for a child, and like Sam, discovering the awful truth.

[@Bearmauls]

I mostly agreed with this list. I'm not personally as big a fan of Prometheus Unbound or Unnatural selection. However, I can't believe Window of Opportunity and Heroes (part 1 & 2) are missing from this list. Especially Heroes. It is the finest piece of Stargate put to screen IMO. Threads is great too!

[@RowanJColeman]

They were close to being on the list, but because of the way I choose episodes, they just missed. However like my Star Trek lists, I may do a follow up video of, "5 More Great Stargate Episodes" should the need arise.

heroes is a good choice.

I enjoyed 2001 and 2010, the Aschen episodes. They really left me with an unusual creepy “OMG OMG OMG” feeling which this show didn’t often do.

[@JarvisBrodie]

1969 was one of my all-time favorites! As well as Touchstone, Solitudes, There But for the Grace of God, Into The Fire, Urgo, A Hundred Days, Show and Tell, Crystal Skull, Nemesis, Window of Opportunity, Foothold, Chain Reaction, 48 Hours, Redemption pt. I & II.

[@Melodeath00]

Claudia Black and Michael Shanks having good chemistry? Oh boy, somebody didn't watch Farscape. Ben Browder and Claudia Black in Farscape are probably the two actors with the best chemistry I have ever seen on TV. Ever wondered why they had so few episodes together on Stargate? They writers were actually afraid that their Farscape chemistry would come back and overshadow the rest of the cast, so they were kept separated or in company of the old SG-1 cast for the majority of their time on SG-1. As for the topic at hand: Lifeboat (ep6s7) was always one of my favourites. The episode where the team discovers a crashed colony ship, where Daniel Jackson gets the consciousnesses of many dead passengers uploaded into his brain, who then all fight for control over his body. It was also apparently Michael Shanks' personal favourite from an actors point of view, and he did a great job portaying the different personalities imo.

[@poneill65]

Torment of Tantalus. Great feel to this episode, nicely expressing the potential lying ahead of humanity (& the show) and the price sometimes paid to get there. Also, the melancholy potential futility of it all seeing that this great alliance was ultimately forgotten and decayed.

[@Zeliegrim]

I grew up with Stargate so my nostalgia goggles are on full power but it pretty much is my favorite sci-fi tv show.

[@Edax_Royeaux]

There But for the Grace of God is one of my favorite episodes. It's to see the worst case scenario playout as the SGC is overrun by the Goa'uld. The show would struggle to make them intimidating so it helped to see them win an invasion of Earth on screen. A Matter of Time was an excellent episode that showed that real science can be way more interesting them the sci-fi tecno-magic that we viewers constantly have to deal with. A supernova that threatens the entire galaxy somehow and is only stopped by a black hole is about the stupidest premise I've ever heard, and that was the plot to a goddamn Star Trek movie.

[@maxbootstrap7397]

Yikes! Missed so many great episodes! Here are some: - torment of tantalus : superb - cor ai : excellent - tin man : superb - tokra : excellent - fifth race : excellent - 1969 : excellent - new ground : excellent - window of opportunity : superb - scorched earth : excellent - point of no return : superb - menace : superb - meridian : excellent - frozen : superb - lost city : superb - threads : excellent - moebius : superb - ripple effect : excellent - pegasus project : superb - quest : excellent - shroud : excellent The fact is, Stargate SG1 is so awesome, and so long-running, one cannot make a good "top n list" that contains less than 20 or 25 entries.

[@Zaniaac23]

A good list, but no Window of Opportunity?

[@russellharrell2747]

EVERYTHING about the lost city makes it easily the best, but especially seeing the Prometheus with Hammond of Texas at the command going it alone against that huge fleet, buying time for sg1 to do the hero stuff and save the day. The battle of Antarctica, the whole search for Atlantis, it’s just the best and in a way I wish it was the series finale.

[@kirara2516]

"It's not the Lost City. It's the City of the Lost." - Daniel Jackson.

[@PathsUnwritten]

Have to disagree with you about more potential with the Ancients. They demystified them and did them to death. Everything traces back to them and they could do anything the plot needed. Theat's why I was looking forward to the Planet Builders from SGU.

[@Mitchell_Gant]

Speaking of episodes where O'Neill is not being an ass,one of the very few times I genuinely felt bad for him was in "Abyss". It's also a pretty good showcase of Goa'uld sadism,which we hear about very often,but it's actually not that common that we see them for more than a hand device brain BBQ or a Jaffa Kree.

[@Scottlp2]

Just watched it. As dark as SG1 gets.

[@MrCordycep]

Haha I was just thinking of the quote O'Neill made in the ep Window of Opportunity: "a few fries short of a Happy Meal WHACKO!!! Another favourite ep of mine is The Changling as it gave us a look at Teal'c in a completely different role.

[@vanyadolly]

The changeling is excellent and the best character-episode in the entire series. It blew me away the first time I saw it.

[@LasherTimora]

Episodes like The changling and Deep Space NIne's Far beyond the stars are the worst for me. I don't watch scifi to... not watch scifi

[@Thatslifebro_]

I would put Heroes part 1 and 2 in there. It love it so much.

[@greyfade]

Yeah, Heroes is the single most powerful and poignant episodes in the series, IMO. It's easily at the top of my list and it's the one episode where I cry during the *title* sequence, because I know what's coming.

[@stephenblevins3829]

This episode and Stargate Atlantis' Sunday have the same impact emotionally.

The Heros two parter is definitely on my list. The conclusion of which (for me at least) was completely unexpected and heartbreaking.

[@ChumpVice]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who instantly thought of Window of Opportunity. It's a fun episode that ended with an awesome character moment that called back to the movie. Easily one of the best episodes in the franchise.

[@foxmulder4041]

[@JohnnyOrc]

I have to say that the Stargate franchise is the only show where, across three separate series, the final episode of each has left me incoherently screaming at the TV. I was such a passionate fan when these first aired. In SG-1, the final episode isn't bad, but the deletion of the Asgard just felt like a footnote. Thor deserved better! In Atlantis, pulling out the Wormhole drive just felt like a cop-out. And in Universe, there was so much left unresolved!

[@BogeyTheBear]

Wormhole drive: I have this idea of introducing a race who uses a novel approach to interstellar travel which is basically the wormhole drive. The caveat is that the core of the system is a Stargate, and this particular race does not have the technology to build them. So they go around the galaxy and steal Stargates from other worlds in order to build their fleet, which most assuredly steps on the toes of the SGC and all their allies.

[@noelburland7169]

A great list. The two part episode in the middle of Season 3, with the episodes titled: "Jolinar's Memories" and "The Devil You Know" are also worth a mention. They are the only time the fantastic and literally Hellish villian Sokar is seen on screen. SG-1 are forced to travel the Moon Netu of the planet Delmak, that Sokar had transformed to look like a Hellish prison, to rescue Jacob Carter/Selmak. From there they discover that Sokar was preparing to take on the System Lords with an enormous fleet that would've guaranteed him victory and sole control of the Go'auld empire. It is also where the principle villain from the early seasons, Apophis makes his return, to which he becomes a threat to the galaxy after Sokar is killed and Apophis inherits his fleet and Jaffa army.

[@SultanOfAwesomeness]

Can't forget Window of Opportunity, Crystal skull, and that one episode where SG1 ends up taking hostages!

[@stephenblevins3829]

1969, 2001, 2010, Window of Opportunity, Heroes Part 1 & 2, The Quest Part 1 & 2, Citizen Joe, It's Good to Be King, and I could go on. Probably one of the best Science Fiction series on an episode-by-episode basis. I still think Babylon 5 is the best overall, but Stargate SG1 is a close second.

[@Bekka88]

Heroes is crap. Ruined Stargate.

[@protorhinocerator142]

I loved the episode about the time dilation. They made it real. The battle over Antarctica was epic. I also liked the one where Daniel was in the intergalactic ascended diner and Oma was the waitress asking what he wanted. So he tried to cut through the meta BS and ask for a simple answer.

[@KnightRaymund]

Window of Opportunity is great thanks to the comedy scenes they added to pad out the episode. Some great picks. It's nice to see somebody who appreciates the final 2 seasons. I love Vala sooo much. My only regret is not getting more of her.

[@rmeddy]

Missing some classics but solid list none the less "The Other Side",The Nox, "2010/2001", "Window of Opportunity","The Changeling" "Reckoning/Threads", Citizen Joe, Exodus.

[@madisonjameson4635]

[@daenerystargaryen6302]

I love Vala's character, it was a refreshing change for the show!

[@erictaylor5462]

I enjoyed the episode 2010 along with the other episodes of that story arch. I also enjoyed the episode 1969. I loved how they worked a young Lt Hammond in, with the General writing a letter to his younger self. And though brief I thought Aaron Pearl really nailed the less mature version of Don Davis' General Hammond.

[@31webseries]

I saw A Matter of Time as a youngling and so did not guess what we were about to see that they were so terrified of. The reveal was awesomely horrifying and unlocked a new fear of black holes in me. The way that team was running for their lives, but it was already far too late. They couldn’t do anything to help them, just watch them on screen dying on the other side of the galaxy, a process that would go on for God knows how long from Earth’s perspective. Still gives me the shivers.

[@McKayRulez]

Great list! Love Stargate!

[@cmdrtelcontar5053]

200 is my second favourite fourth-wall breaking episode ever, after Supernatural's The French Mistake.

[@acescher9011]

Like others have said. Window of Opportunity is up there a favorite episode, but I also like 2010, and the somewhat follow up 2001 with the Aschen. An enemy that was woefully underused.

[@michaelkotcher5491]

Can’t argue with your list. In addition, I’d add the following: Solitudes Deadman’s Switch Space Race Fallen Redemption 1,2 Line in the Sand And of course The Quest 1,2 (“Assist us, or I will squeeze YOU through the bars.”)

[@Aurora-313]

Re your comment about Jack O'Neil, I agree in the later seasons. He was flounderise too much. In Season 1-2, he was what you'd expect from ex-spec Ops. Ruthless combatant and commander that occasionally lightened the mood with insight and quips. My favourite episode of season 1 is Politics because of that. He's straightforward, blunt and to the point - and the only time he cracks a joke is an effort to cheer up Hammond about nearly being shut down because Kinsey is an ass.

[@BogeyTheBear]

Contrast the Jack O'Neill who tried to reassure Teal'c about the responsibility of a warrior in "Cora'ai" with the Simpsons-binging Guinness addict of later seasons.

[@bbomber2299]

Meridian was always one of my favourite episodes Daniel Jackson sacrificing himself to save an entire race that didn't even appreciate it

[@johntabler349]

I never thought the Ori storyline was as intriguing or the Ori as compelling as the Gau'ld

[@HhCMotU]

SG1 is great to rewatch. I think the crossover episodes are the best in the franchise. Was always really excited about these episodes. I hope someday we see another stargate show and more of the Ancients.

[@joelhoffman3563]

Heroes part 1 and 2 were probably the best all around. They're solidly written and the characterizations is amazing. That episode truly kept glued to the screen. Window of Opportunity was good too. I'm surprised that no one ever talks about "Serpent's Song" and the arc that followed with Sokar, (although looking back it should've been Set instead of Sokar/Seker). Seasons 9 and 10 feel far too different for me to include the Ori, they're really their own thing.

[@Bekka88]

Heroes is crap. Ruined Stargate.

[@Qossuth]

I don't think I've seen "200" yet, but looking forward to it. Somewhere around season 6 or 7 there's a funny episode where they have a television crew doing a documentary (turns out to be a Gooold or something). They "interview" the guy who's always on the Gate control board, he's always saying "Chevron 6 encoding." So they ask him what his job entails and he literally says "I say Chevron 6 encoded." It's not quite 4th wall breaking but very close and hilarious.

[@MackerelCat]

Great and under appreciated show!

[@Knux999]

This is pretty interesting. I like how you're opinions are clearly your own and not pandering. I like all the episodes on this list, but personally think Stargate SG1 peaked in Season 4. While I'm not the biggest fan of the oft mentioned 'Window of Opportunity' (Mostly due to it being overwatched) I think episodes like 'The Otherside' 'Exodus' 'Absolute Power' and 'Small Victories' are absolute gems of TV. I'll definitely keep watching and would love to debate and talk more about Stargate as a whole. PS. I love O'niell, but I do agree that Atlantis is the best series of the lot :-)

[@Tyranidus7]

Window of Opportunity - Tealc and Oneal are stuck in a time loop and have to escape but along the way take some breaks is hilarious and does use the stargate in a unique way. Also lets Tealc stretch his comedic timing as by that point he was often the straight man. The Summit and the Last Stand - While ending weekly to very poorly seeing the Goa'uld interact with each other is fun and we get introduced to Ba'al one of my favorite snake heads, one that actually gives the Tau'ri respect enough that he causes a lot of problems. Dominion - This episode is always enjoyable to me for one scene where Ba'al talks to Adria, by this point in the show the Goa'uld were like 3 seasons removed from being any real threat and were at best an annoyance, to have Adria tease Ba'al saying there is nothing he could do to make her do what he wants, and then he just leans in on the bars, turns on his God voice (by this point another very rare occurrence), makes his eyes glow, and says, "I wouldn't be so sure about that." really brings back the terror that the Goa'uld represented and the power of infiltration they have. First few seasons gave them a real body horror or body snatcher vibe which fell off almost completely when Anubis came around. It was fun though very fleeting to see that threat return. Between Two Fires - the episode where the Tollan's are sadly and unceremoniously cut from the show the episode gives them a somewhat cool send off with a lot of intrigue and fun visual effects. The first episode I believe were Anubis is teased I believe. Tanith being a fun if underused Goa'uld being a far more restrained presence than the flamboyance we're used to. And the realization why the Tollan are selling all their space guns is because their useless always makes me chuckle. Politics sucks, it is a shame though the Tollan never make a return, the one advanced human race that wasn't trying to destroy Earth could have done a lot more. Fair Game - More Goa'ulds politicking around but now you have Asgard trying to maintain order and the Oneal stumbling around. I always game for Goa'uld to be pontificating around so this episode is fun. New Order Part 1 and 2 - The real Elizabeth Weir shows up, always weird to watch the previous season finale and see a different actress but thankfully they get the right one for these episodes. And more Goa'uld's pontificating at the SGC, HOORAY!

It was a really good story that had me on the edge of my seat for the latter half, as it does not only show the manipulative capabilities of the Ori, but also foreshadows their raw power by showing what they can do by showing that the downgraded version of their tech is already something we humans cant even match.

while i like your 10, i might interchange some of the choices with the following: past and present, the nox, learning curve, the other side, 2010, forsaken, lifeboat, revisions, affinity, citizen joe

I am ASHAMED of all of you for not mentioning Bad Guys! Easily the single greatest episode of not just SG-1 but all of the Stargate franchise! Sad!

[@vanyadolly]

I think "the Changeling" deserves a spot. It always stands out to me as one of the most touching and insightful episodes.

[@4raven11]

Great list ! Especially 200 !!😂 But episode "The Nox" was pretty good as well !

[@DCMarvelMultiverse]

Top Ten BSG.

HOW DARE YOU!!! Jack is awesome!! lol

The "2010" / "2001" pair deserved a mention - watching the feminist Aschen get upended twice was a treat. The Aschen deserved a revenge episode that never materialized.

Like the list. For an “Honorable Mention” episode “Forever in a Day” bookends the premise from the original theatrical movie. Following that ep the series totally closed the book on attempting to being a sequel to the movie and started adding many more original concepts. As everybody else has stated “Cause and Effect” - errr -- “Window of Opportunity” needed to have been on the list.

My number 1 favorite episode was in the beginning of season 5. Teal'c is trying to remember who he was to SG-1 and BratC is there. It also provided a new story arc to the pilot episode.

If someone told me your sci fi opinions, I'd swear you were just hot taking for attention. But you're not at all, and that's what makes this channel so interesting

[@ir0nknight721]

you missed to many to say. thank you for video.

[@donedwards5301]

Other than the aforementioned "Window ...." I have really enjoyed the Nox episode. Gives SG1 a dose of reality.

The first space battle with the Ori was basically Stargate's Wolf 359. It was terrifying at how powerful the Ori really is
