Inasmuch as longtime regular Michael Shanks has returned to Stargate SG-1 after a one year absence, the series' seventh season opens with the SG-1 crew, headed by Jack O'Neill (Richard Dean Anderson), literally bringing Shanks' character Daniel Jackson back from the dead, rescuing his soul from the City of the Lost. Although he has no memory of his past life, Jackson proves indispensable to the team during their showdown with all-purpose villain Anubis (David Palffy). In the course of the action, the crew becomes separated from Jackson's temp replacement Jonas Quinn, who won't show up again until midway through the season (actor Corin Nemec is no longer a regular, and will hereafter be billed as a special guest star). In later episodes, Jack regresses to a teenager thanks to a cosmic disturbance involving alien abductees. Jaffan crew member Teal'c (Christopher Judge) must save his son Rya'c (Neil Denis) from a Jaffa death camp--but becomes a prisoner himself; the crew comes across a biodome on a toxic planet,

As Season Eight of Stargate SG-1 begins, Daniel Jackson (Michael Shanks) must take charge of the SG-1 team while Jack O'Neill (Richard Dean Anderson) hovers between this world and the next, while a concerted effort to rid the universe of Anubis once and for backfires disastrously. A few episodes later, Jack O'Neill, now promoted to General, is placed in full command of the Star Gate base just as the personnel faces the double threat of a fast-growing alien plant and a hostile takeover. Later on, the crew makes another foray into virtual reality at the hands of the Gameskeeper, a character introduced way back in Season Two. Also, Jaffan crew member Teal'c (Christopher Judge) tries to intervene in an earthbound domestic dispute and ends up facing a murder and kidnapping charge; Sam Carter (Amanda Tapping) considers a serious marriage proposal; and a UFO-obsessed industraliat must be persuade by O'Neill that yes, aliens exist, but, no, you can't tell anyone, ever!

As Season Three of Stargate SG-1 gets under way, Jack O'Neill (Richard Dean Anderson) and the SG-1 team manages to wriggle out of the trap set at the end of season two, and to save the world from being overtaken by Replicator bugs -- but they still may have to destroy a bug-infested Russian submarine, which act could forever damage US-Soviet relations. In a later episode, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine regular Ren Auberjonois shows up as the self-proclaimed leader of an advance race who offers to share his technology with the Earth -- but at what price? Later still, the SG-1 crew briefly takes on superhuman powers and finds that they're far beyond their capabilities...but then they can't shake those troublesome powers to save their lives. And even later than that, Jaffan crew member Teal'c (Christopher Judge) has a less than fond reunion with his lost love. Also: another of those pesky time loops in space forces O'Neill and Teal'c to continue reliving the same ten hours over and over again; the SG-1 tries to in

To compensate for the temporary defection of Stargate SG-1 regular Michael Shanks, the series' producers contrived to have Shanks' character Daniel Jackson lay down his life to save his SG-1 comrades, whereupon his soul passes to another plane of existence. Thus, the series' sixth season finds Jonas Quinn (Corin Nemec), emissary from the planet Kelowna, taking Jackson's place with the SG-1 team--mainly because Quinn feels responsible for Jackson's death. Team leader Jack O'Neill (Richard Dean Anderson) is agreeable to Quinn's decision, inasmuch as he needs all the help he can get to vanquish the evil Anubis (David Palffy), who possesses the power to potentially cause all Stargate portals in the universe to destroy one another. Also, O'Neill is a bit worried over the loyalties of Jaffan crewman Teal'c (Christopher Judge), who, brooding over the death of his wife, is wondering if it was a good idea to renounce his loyalty to the hated Goa'uld and cast his lot with the Stargate crew. This season, the SG-1 person

Although Stargate SG-1 had only been contracted to run four seasons on Showtime,the series' vast popularity dictated a fifth season--and of course a satisfactory resolution for the cliffhanger that had closed out the action the year before. Well, what could be more satisfactory than the death of despotic warrior king Apophis--and with Jacob Carter (Carmen Argenziano), the newly regenerated father of SG-1 crewperson Samantha Carter (Amanda Tapping), leading the final assault against Apophis and his minions? In fact, the producers of the series were so juiced on this season opener that they allowed to it spread over two hour-long episodes! But though Apophis is gone, the parasitic Goa'uld race is still a menace to those alternate-universe planets on the other side of the Stargate portals throughout the universe, and thus the mission of SG-1 leader Jack O'Neill (Richard Dean Anderson) and his crew is far from over. Subsequent adventures include one which casts the spotlight on longtime series featured player Ter

Resolving the cliffhanger ending established at the end of season two, season three of Stargate SG-1 finds evil Goa'uld queen Hathor (Suanne Braun) still trying to win SG-1 teammates Jack O'Neill (Richard Dean Anderson), Samantha Carter (Amanda Tapping), and Daniel Jackson (Michael Shanks) over to her side -- while the team's Jaffan ally Teal'c (Christopher Judge). In the midst of this tense situation comes some good news; Carter's father Jacob (Carmen Argenziano) -- saved from the brink of death when his body became host for Selmak, a leader of the Goa'uld resistance movement Tok'ra -- has now joined his daughter and her comrades in the ongoing battle to protect Earth from hostile aliens who've penetrated the many Stargate portals throughout the galaxy. In later episodes, a killer parasite plunges Jackson into madness and threatens the sanity of the other team members, which may force General Hammond (Don S. Davis) to kill them all for the greater good; Hammond himself later becomes a liability to the Starga

Season two of Stargate SG-1 begins with a resolution of the cliffhanger which closed out season one, as SG-1 leader Jack O'Neill (Richard Dean Anderson) is imprisoned on an enemy war vessel as the Earth braces for an attack from those parasitic predators, the Goa'uld. When the dust settles, it seems as though the good guys have scored a clear victory and that Goa'uld leader Apophis (Peter Williams) is dead. The remainder of the season chronicles the aftermath of the attack, and the efforts by the SG-1 team to rescue survivors and set things aright by journeying from one Stargate portal to another throughout the galaxy -- despite the usual roadblocks, setbacks, death traps, false allies, and a variety of possessions in which the main characters undergo startling personality changes. Season two's perils include a virtual-reality trap which forces the team to relive the worst moments of their lives over and over again; a lengthy imprisonment in the Naquadah mines, where O'Neill and his crew are enslaved for the

Debuting over ABC on July 27, 1997, the 60-minute science fiction series Stargate SG-1 was a continuation of the 1995 theatrical feature Stargate. The original film starred James Spader as eccentric scientist Daniel Jackson and Kurt Russell as Col. Jack O'Neill, who by being transported into an alternate world via a shimmering stargate portal created by an ancient civilization had thwarted a plan by the megalomaniac Ra, ruler of the planet Abydos and leader of the vicious Goa'uld race, to conquer the universe. The TV series began one year after the events of the film, with O'Neill (now played by Richard Dean Anderson) coming out of retirement at the request of Gen. George Hammond (Don S. Davis), now in charge of the Earth's top-secret Stargate Project, to first rescue Jackson (Michael Shanks, taking over from James Spader) then travel throughout the universe with a map of the vast Stargate network to prevent invasion from hostile aliens who might have the ability to transport themselves through the million-an

Television's most inventive and resourceful crime fighter is on the job as MacGyver launches its first season. A special operative for the Phoenix Foundation, a private think tank dedicated to fighting evil everywhere, MacGyver (Richard Dean Anderson) is sent out on missions ranging from rescue to seek and destroy -- but never without his trusty roll of duct tape and his all-purpose Swiss Army Knife. Disdaining violence and brute force, our hero wriggles out of his various perils by improvising weapons and such out of simple household devices at hand, from a light bulb to a credit card. This talent comes in handy in his first assignment, in which he goes to rescue a pilot whose plane has crashed atop a cliff. In subsequent episodes, MacGyver will use a magnet to recover stolen secret documents in Burma; escape from certain death in the desert by employing a hot-air balloon; employ a can of gasoline to ward off killer ants in Brazil; utilize a jerry-built blowgun to neutralize a virtual army of hitmen and resc

Martin Lloyd (Willie Garson), last seen in Wormhole X-treme, returns to the SGC looking for assistance from SG-1 with his feature film script. The team is reluctant, especially Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell (Ben Browder), who is excited about his next off-world mission, which marks his 200th trip through the event horizon. However, when technical glitches prevent the team from gating off-world, they are stuck in the boardroom under the orders of General Landry (Beau Bridges), because the Pentagon believes a successful science fiction film about intergalactic wormhole travel will serve as a good cover story to keep the Stargate Program a secret. The notes session, however, quickly devolves into the team members pitching their own versions of a successful sci-fi film - including tributes to The Wizard of Oz, Star Trek, a younger and edgier SG-1, and even a wedding that showcases the return of General Jack O'Neill (Richard Dean Anderson).
