A gradual shift in overall style, character homecomings and departures, and evolving on and off-screen roles for the major players are among the attractions of the complete seventh season of Stargate SG-1. Spread out over five discs, these 21 episodes are ample indication that changes notwithstanding--and admittedly, not all of them are for the better--the series remains arguably the best-made, most compelling sci-fi program on television.
Perhaps most noticeable is the reduced role of star Richard Dean Anderson, who opted to limit his number of trips to Vancouver, where Stargate SG-1 is filmed. But that's not a bad thing. The show's ability to poke fun at itself has always been a strong suit, and while Anderson still brings a welcome sense of humor to his portrayal of wiseacre and loose cannon Col. Jack O'Neill, his act is getting a little smug by now. What's more, the other principal cast members have taken up the slack, both behind and in front of the camera: Michael Shanks (Daniel Jackson, who rejoins the cast in episode 1) wrote one episode and co-wrote another; Christopher Judge (Teal'c) wrote one as well; Amanda Tapping (Lt. Col. Samatha Carter) directed episode 19, "Resurrection"; and even Corin Nemec (Jonas Quinn, who appears in just a few episodes) contributed one story.
The seventh season also finds the series somewhat more earthbound than in the past; indeed, there are episodes in which the Stargate (the "wormhole" our heroes use to travel to different worlds) doesn't appear at all. On balance, the stories are more personal, and more political--especially the final two, with the newly elected U.S. President (William Devane) struggling to decide the fate of the Stargate program (and, of course, the fate of the entire known universe as well!). And then there's the ultimate villain, Anubis, who makes perennial nemeses the Goa'uld (of which Anubis is one... sort of) look tame. He's a combination of Star Wars' Darth Vader and evil Emperor, but hey, at least these guys borrow from the best.
Stargate SG-1's production values remain first-rate. The bonus DVD features are also much better than they once were, with audio commentary (mainly by directors and writers) for every episode, as well as director profiles and "Beyond the Gate" featurettes focusing on individual characters. --Sam Graham

This is easily one of the best seasons of Stargate SG-1. It sees the return of Danny Boy in the opening two-parter. A fun episode follows with a young boy claiming to be Jack O'neill. Season 7 also contains the fantastic episode 'Orpheous' in which SG-1 lead a rescue on a Goa'uld slave camp, freeing Bra'tac and Teal'c's son, Rya'c. This is one of the best episodes in the season. Michael Shanks (Dr Daniel Jackson) has some excellent acting in the episode'Lifeboat'. He is a very skilled actor. 'Evolution' is the second two-parter in season 7, and a brilliant one at that! We're introduced to Anubis' new foot soldiers; the Drones. 'Heros', the next two-parter, is very emotional as a main character is killed in action. The last two-parter, 'Lost City', which i suppose could be counted as a movie because of the scale, is FANTASTIC!!!

Stargate SG-1 continues to go from strength to strength with each sucessive season.
In it's seventh year, we see the return of Dr Daniel Jackson, more of 'uber' system lord Anubis, the return of the Unas, more of the Asgard and we lose a long running character in one of four gripping 2-parter episodes.
The final feature lengthed episode was intended to be a big screen movie, but was left as a normal part of the season, making it a big budget and exciting episode that lays the groundwork for fantastic spin-off series Stargate Atlantis.
With many episodes continuing long running story arcs, plus several strand-alone episodes, season 7 proves to be one of the greatest seasons of any sci-fi show.
With most series not making it past 6-7 seasons, Stargate has already proven is longetivity, with an eighth and ninth season to come.
A fab season and a very high recommendation to anybody who has been following the series over the last several seasons. It possibly won't be as easy to follow the story if you are a newcomer to the series, in which case I highly suggest you watch the previous six seasons.

Season 7 of Stargate SG-1 is nothing short of phenomenal in every way - the breadth of the stories, the acting, the production values, and the good old fashioned explosions.
The departure of Jonas Quinn, and the return of Daniel Jackson is dealt with early in the season, paving the way for much bigger storylines and plot developments (Atlantis, anyone?).
This season has quite a few stand-alone episodes that do not contribute to the overall story arc, but this gives each character more of a chance to shine.
Teal'c, Daniel Jackson and Samantha Carter all have episodes that delve more into their lives and personalities - but unfortunately O'Neill fans may be slightly disappointed with most of this season. There's never a point where he's just "not there", but his reduced presence is often felt. However, it's all made up for in the last couple of episodes.
Along with the all of Season 7, there are some great commentaries, and some hilarious "Beyond the Gate" featurettes with the cast.
If you're an SG-1 fan, there's no reason not to buy this DVD.

i really like this season, though all the happiness to have Michael Shanks back is somehow lost when our dear Janet is killed.
