Stargate SG-1 is 214 episodes of science-fiction fun, with a few standing out as the best the series had to offer. Set in the aftermath of the 1994 film, Stargate, the show's ten seasons are full of all the best elements of the genre. Instantaneous interstellar travel, a race of parasite alien villains, and several characters killed off only to be brought back to life—the campy and outrageous nature of Stargate SG-1 is all part of the charm. A few episodes brought these details to the forefront, combining them with mind-bending twists and a whole lot of action. The result is the makings of some excellent TV.
