Stargate SG1: Season Eight

The beat goes on for Stargate SG-1 in this five-disc set containing all 20 episodes from the show’s eighth season. If that beat is now a bit more faint than in previous years, that’s not particularly surprising when a franchise has been around this long; what’s more, if Season 8 has some fairly odd aspects to it, that too isn’t exactly unusual in the wacky world of series television.

Some significant changes are apparent in Season 8. Jack O’Neill has been promoted to Brigadier General and is now top dog. The existence of the stargate, an artificially created “wormhole” through which one can instantly travel to different worlds light years away from Earth, is no longer a well-guarded secret.

And Stargate Command itself now exists primarily to “develop new weapons and technologies to defend the planet” from our various alien antagonists–principally the “Replicators,” relentless little bug-machines poised to take over not only Earth but the entire galaxy.
