THANKS FOR WATCHING! We'd love to know how your picks do and do not match up with this list, voted on by thousands of fans worldwide. Visit our SG-1 episode guide at www.gateworld.net/sg1/ to look through each season and select your ONE favorite episode from each.

Window of Opportunity is my favourite of all time, not just season 4... "In the middle of my backswing!!!"

Honorable mention: Daniel becoming a dictator on earth.

i love how (most of) the chosen "best" episodes aren't the ones with great space battles or incredible action but the character focused ones dealing with loss, philosophy and our place in the universe

You just had to sneak one in - "MacGyver's a new power source" 2:59

Always loved the episode "Lifeboat", where Daniel had multiple different minds transferred into his own, and the control of his body keeps switching between himself and the different passengers he's carrying. The acting in that one was just phenomenal.

I agree SG-1 is the best Sci-Fi show ever ! I can re-watch it many times, it never gets old. The show also aged well compared to most other SF shows.

Window of opportunity is one of the best episodes. Anyway, that's the way I feel about it. What do you think?

Lost City may be the best episode of season 7 but Heroes part 2 is by far the most emotional one.

The Torment of Tantalous was indeed a great episode, but for season 1 I preferred There but for the grace of God more. Daniel's visit to an alternate SGC who had succumbed to the Gaoul'd was so exciting to me.

Four races: *create universal language so they can communicate in a galaxy where basically everyone speaks English

Once RDA left my interest in the show dropped off totally. Personal favourites are Window of Opportunity, Beneath the Surface and 100 Days.

I personally think the best episode of season six is the one directed by Judge where he slips in and out of realities after a Jaffa ambush as he shares his symbiote with Bratac to keep them both alive

Window of opportunity was defo a classic. It showed the depth of Jack & Teal'c's character as they battled then enjoyed the consequence fun of the loop. Absolutely brilliant. 🤘🤘

I love how the "fan favourite" episodes mostly are centred on a character exploration and growth.

I grew up watching Stargate with my Mom and I've loved it ever since. It is a little cheesy sometimes (not unlike most science fiction shows/movies) but I've always thought the writing was pretty good and its just a plain fun show that's not afraid to poke fun at itself. There are many episodes where major ethics and philosophical issues present themselves which make for great viewing for me as a philosophy major. I'm also an AF Security Forces veteran and its always cool to see the SF's doing there thing around Stargate Command. I wanted to go Army after high school but decided to go Air Force after my Dad's Army veteran friend convinced me to go AF. Sometimes I wonder if I subliminally joined the AF because of Stargate. LOL

Window of Opportunity is my favourite all-time episode.

I rediscovered this show on Amazon Prime and I haven’t been to work since.

I totally knew that "Fifth race episode was, is, and always will be the best and the most epic from second season - cuz not only thanks to asgard but also thanks to eight chevron, extra juice to stargate device and of course double vortex... in czech republic it´s pretty much legendary - the sentence "This is the Asgard planet, Othala, in the galaxy of Ida." simply sends electricity and chills down the spine from all the excitement and surprise.. I have the feeling everytime I see it !!!

Despite having watched this show easily over 10-15 times, i still watched all of this video with happiness! Oh, maybe because i am such a fan boy :o

I always liked those on-the-earth shady government thing episodes like Touchstone, Shades of Gray and Chain Reaction

All of these rightfully deserve their claim to fame as the best episodes of each season, however I always look forward to Season 5; Episode 12 "Wormhole X-Treme!" & Season 10; Episode 200 "200". I just love when shows, especially long running ones, that take a moment to celebrate the show and the actors who star in them. It is just enjoyable to see them all having fun for the sake of fun.

When Daniel called our Morigan I actually yelled “damit Daniel!” 😆 They could have gotten so much useful info from her while she was pretending to be a VI.

I really liked the episode where that barber got linked to jack and started writing stories about SG:1s adventures I normally hate flashback episodes but that one was good.

I could add a few episodes to this list but all in all, it's a good one. In my opinion, Stargate remains one of the best shows. The Stargate itself is the most interesting part. The whole idea of a portal that can be dialed to thousands of gates all over the universe is just mind-blowing. What a great idea.

Great list, I appreciate how you gave an overview of the whole season as well as it's 'best' episodes

I would have to agree with the fans on this one. All of these were the best episodes of their respective seasons. I also quite liked the one where they travel to the 60s, or 70s or whatever, and drive around on the hippie bus :D

I disagree with season 10. There is no better episode than Unending. Pure gold.

Where was 200? That was gold!!!

Urgo with the late, great Dom Deluise is a difficult episode to leave off the list. One of the funniest comedians ever!

I agree what you said at the start. Most people I know never even heard of stargate. When they ask me what its about I always reply its the perfect combination of action, adventure, drama, sci fi and human emotions. It will always be my favorite series. Always. I also agree with most of the list. Although it is a hard choice. Even a top 5 or 10 each season would be hard. I got the whole series Sg1 and atlantis on dvd. I think one of these days I m gonne have a rewatch. Prob my 10th or so.

Window of Opportunity is my all time #1 favorite episode of SG1

I can remember this show bringing my family together so many times

LOVE, LOVE, THIS SERIES!!!! STILL WATCH RERUNS & IT IS A LEGENDARY TREASURE, FOR SURE!!!! EVERY EPISODE IS A PRECIOUS PIECE OF WORK EXCELLENTLY PORTRAYIING THEIR ROLES --THE CAST, RICHARD DEAN ANDERSON; MICHAEL SHANKS, AMANDA TAPPING, CHRISTOPHER JUDGE, WERE ALL MAGNIFICENT ACTORS!!! MUCH KUDOS TO THEM & ALL THEIR ADMIRED ACCOMPLISHMENTS!!!! CHEERS!!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰🦅🦅🦅🦅

The one where Daniel is stuck in South America. One of my favourites.

IN THE MIDDLE OF MY BACKSWING.

My greatest sci-fi t.v. shows 1)Stargate SG-1 2)Farscape 3)Babylon 5 4)Stargate Atlantis 5)Star Trek DS9 6)Firefly 7)Star Trek Voyager 8)Battlestar Galactic 9)Star Trek TNG 10)Alien Nation

I loved every episode of SG1, my most favorite episodes are with the Asgards.

The black hole episode was brilliant, think it was early on.

By the time Adria comes around she just takes all my concentration away from the story because Morena Baccarin is on another level of beauty. A 10/10! Good lord!

2:58 "... and MacGyver's a new power source..." I see what you did there.

Stargate is the best sci-fi show ever and I wish it hadn't come to an end. It was brilliant.

I watch all Stargate and Miss it. My wife & I saw a Stargate open in the sky one night watching the stars, We saw a UFO go through the Gate it was amazing, Then my wife saw one again while she hanging clothes on the line in the daytime. This is so true about our world we still do not know everything about it, but I am still learning.

Children of the Gods has to be my favorite from season one when the team is assembled and we meet Carter for the first time and she puts Jack in his place, and you see the respect Jack at that moment he has for her.

Dang, I so miss this show! I've been waiting and waiting for a new Stargate series. Granted, there's the web series, but I'd like a return to television a new Stargate series. Or if it has to be streamed, Netflix or Hulu should pick it up.

Greatest Sci fi show of all time

Unending is undoubtedly my fave episode (the very last episode). It's a brilliant character study and what-if scenario. You need to know the characters for this episode to work.

I saw the movie than the series, best sci-fi show since Star-Trek!

Welp....that does it. Gotta rewatch SG1

Great vid... iv been rewatching Sg1 and Atlantis recently and although I think the Ori wasn't a very good villain, seasons 9 and 10 sure did have some amazing episodes. I miss Stargate, i wish they'd do more, it's the best sci-fi franchise of all time. Season 1 started the year I was born (24 years ago) and it still holds up today.

I'm honestly suprised that 200 wasn't voted as the best episode of season 10

Shades of Grey and Lifeboat are the most underrated Stargate SG-1 episodes.

season 01 : s01e10 - torment of tantalus season 01 : s01e19 - tin man (tie) season 02 : s02e11 - tok'ra : part 1 (second) season 02 : s02e12 - tok'ra : part 2 (first) season 02 : s02e15 - fifth race (close second) season 03 : s03e19 - new ground season 04 : s04e06 - window of opportunity season 04 : s04e11 - point of no return (tie) season 05 : s05e19 - menace season 05 : s05e21 - meridian (close second) season 06 : s06e04 - frozen season 06 : s06e20 - memento (close second) season 07 : s07e21 - lost city : part 1 (second) season 07 : s07e22 - lost city : part 2 (first) season 08 : s08e19 - moebius : part 1 (tie) season 08 : s08e20 - moebius : part 2 (tie) season 09 : s09e13 - ripple effect season 10 : s10e03 - the pegasus project season 10 : s10e11 - quest : part 2 (close second) season 10 : s10e14 - shroud (close second)

In season 7, when General Hammond ordered collisions curse...I was at the edge of my seat. Great episode!

Window of opportunity is probably my most favorite episode.

Shades of Grey (Season 3) and The Other Side (Season 4) were favorites for those seasons. I know most prefer Sam and Jack interacting but I love when episodes sort of focus on Jack and Daniel's relationship, the good and the bad.

I don't believe I could choose. There are so many awesome episodes.

The Crystal Skull was my alltume favourite

Window of Opportunity and "The black hole episode" are my top 100% :D

Awww, I loved Ernest ❤️. I've got soo many fav episodes from various seasons.

Few episodes where missed from this list that are my personal favourites. 200 for one, just pure comedy gold. And Beachhead, everything about that episode was epic.

One of my personal favorites is "A Matter of Time". Nice video btw.

I was getting all these Star Trek channels recomendations and I was like "wheres stargate fan stuff?" Well now I found it!

Best quotes per episode on the list (did It from memory so maybe I’m off a bit here and there) 1) Meaning of life, stuff... 2) Nu ani anchi’etas 3) Replicat0rz (by Thor) 4) In the middle of my backswing!? 5) If you immediately know that candlelight is fire, the meal was cooked a long time ago.. 6) Ba’al as in “bachy”? 7) Who are you really and why are you here? 8) I was working up the nerve to come and talk to you 9) it’s not magic (then getting beamed away in front of peasants) 10) Indeed, today we have achieved a great victory colonel Mitchel

Not just for the young. I am 75, and I think SG-1 is the best series ever. I love the cast and I love the writing. I give some special effects a c plus however. Great stories that stretch the imagination to ponder what may be possible, and hopefully not probable.

What a fun review of the whole series! Totally agree with all these favorites.

I don' click 'top ten' vids. This was a new way of looking at favourites. Well done ☺

So many great memories. Great 10-picks

I got the Hulu groundhog day show right after you talked about the episode where they relived the same day over and over again.

Awesome! this review is fabulous. I'm a huge Stargate fan (SG-1 and Atlantis).

After watching my choices different from the list: Season 1, I have to go with the "There but for the grace of God" mirror universe episode Season 7, Heroes Part 2 with an honorable mention for Lifeboat

I"m going to finish it all now, and this was a great refresher! Thanks for the video very helpful! I started watching the "recommended viewing order" and I stopped (2 year break) watching after finishing: Stargate the movie, SG1 S1-S7, then SG1 S8, Atlantis S1.

Nice to see many of my own favorites, thanks!

Amazing video! Nice job bro

Great list, great show, sadly missed.

Bit late, but i wanna write some, too. My favorits have been: the not upcrowing kids who have to give their knowlege to their adults. (Showed sooooo much about Jacks character. The timesloop - of cause! Meeting Thor Cometreya 😉 Death of the one and only doctor from SG1 And so much more! Hope I can show this amazing show to my husband, once.

Very nice list! Almost agreed on all entries but in time you'll find that is nearly impossible to pick just one single episode. As an example I was surprised to see Season 1 “The Torment of Tantalus” as number one pick. Mine would be “There but for the Grace of God” for sure. Just love alternate reality stuff...

The Pegasus Project is in my top five favorite episodes in the franchise. My only gripe is Shepard didn't have a bigger role in it. Yea I know it was SG1 and he wasn't a main character but I think it would have been interesting to explore how him and Mitchell would interact in that situation.

I'm happy with the list, I would have definitely had a huge rant if the groundhog day episode wasn't there!

I loved the series and the movie. I remember having stargate the game for the snes...

Awesome . Loved every one of them. I like your order.

He "macgyvers" a new powersource.... I see what you did there!

I just finished re-watching the series so here are my picks Season 1-Cold Lazarus Season 2-A Matter of Time Season 3-Foothold Season 4-Window of Opportunity Season 5-Revelations Season 6-Allegiance Season 7-Lost City Season 8-Reckoning Season 9-Prototype Season 10-The Shroud

Great selection!

Every episodes of Stargate are masterpiece dude

I like Abyss but I prefer The Changeling, that one really had me going.

I love the episode where they hyper space a meteor through the planet.

Amazing job man

Great list. Nearly perfect. I'd say Summit was the best episode of season 5.

I recently watched my favorite episodes. I specially love those with different civilizations, specially the advanced or post industrial revolution ones.

My favourite show ever!!! i can watch it over and over....

Personal favorites (after third full viewing): s1 - There but for the Grace of God s2 - Message in a Bottle s3 - Nemesis s4 - Window of Opportunity s5 - Meridian s6 - Unnatural Selection s7 - Lost City: Part 2 s8 - Prometheus Unbound s9 - Origin s10 - The Pegasus Project

Are you people drunk? Season One: Your pick (I know it was a poll.) Torment of Tantalus. It's good. Very good. I have it as #3 but not #1. Thor's Hammer is much better. And did you see Kynthia (Bobbie Phillips)? No "Torment" there! Season Two: The Fifth Race. Really? It's backstory. 1969 is the heart of the Stargate franchise. Humor, time travel, friendship. And the costumes. Plenty of General Hammond backstory if that's what you so obviously into. Season Three: Nemesis. Again, good. But Rick Anderson and Michelle Greene in A Hundred Days are just outstanding. I love this episode. It's a what if episode that really draws on in. So well done. This is a really good season. Lots of highly rated episodes but A Hundred Days is special. Season Four: Window of Opportunity. Finally we agree. This is one of the top four episodes of Stargate SG-1. I could go on but your analysis is pretty good. Interestingly, another of the top four episodes immediately preceded Window. "Divide and Conquer" obtains that lofty rank because it contains one of, if not the most, important scenes in the series. When taking the Tok'ra lie detector test, Carter and O'Neill acknowledge their love for one another, in Jack's words "I care about her, a lot more than I am supposed to." That is the core of the whole franchise. Why doesn't everybody just admit it. I could go like this but I am tired. More later.

I was pleasantly surprised at this list. I can’t refute any of the choices. I’m really hoping for a fourth series to come out of the woodwork. I can only watch the existing material so much. I have yet to watch SGU, it’s in my list after I finish Atlantis. The only episode I would add to the list is 1969, so good.

I've rewatched SG1/SGA so many times, it's hard to pick favorite episodes but I do agree with the ones featured here. Have you noticed how SG was more inter-generational than most other scifi out there now? I think that's why it was so popular with both young & older audiences. Well, hubby & I have all the DVDs & yet still rewatch on Amazon Prime & TV (El Rey & Comet).

I did my own personal rating of each episode. Best episodes--Season 1: "Brief Candle" and "Thor's Hammer." Season 2: "1969." Season 3: "One Hundred Days." Season 4: "Divide and Conquer" and "Window of Opportunity." Season 5: "Wormhole Extreme," "Fail Safe," and "Meridian" Season 6: "Abyss." Season 7: "Fragile Balance," "Space Race," "Fallout," "Heroes, parts 1 and 2," and "Inauguration." Season 8: "Citizen Joe." Season 9: "Avalon, Part 1." Season 10: "200," "The Quest, Part 1," "The Shroud," "Bounty," "Dominion" and, of course, "Unending." My favorite episodes: Meridian, Fail Safe, Wormhole Extreme, Citizen Joe, Divide and Conquer and Window of Opportunity. My favorite line from Stargate: "Carter, I can see my house." O'Neill in Fail Safe.

3:26 Shows how bad my memory is. I thought the Ferlings (Furlings, Firlings?) were an Ewok joke from Wormhole Extreme :)

I mean yeah , window of opportunity obviously, I watched Stargate the entire series for the second time and waited for s4 to come and watch the episode again , that’s how much I love it

Solid list. Surprised by Threads but that whole series is great

I'm in the midst watching SG-1 season 5 .. Can't wait to explore more till season 10.
