- DirectorRoland EmmerichStarsKurt RussellJames SpaderJaye DavidsonAn interstellar teleportation device, found in Egypt, leads to a planet with humans resembling ancient Egyptians who worship the god Ra.
- DirectorMario AzzopardiStarsRichard Dean AndersonMichael ShanksAmanda TappingColonel Jack O'Neill is brought out of retirement to lead a new expedition back to Abydos, only to find an old friend, a new enemy and a far wider use of the Stargate.
- DirectorDavid Warry-SmithStarsRichard Dean AndersonMichael ShanksAmanda TappingGeneral Hammond has tried everything to get the Senate's decision to shut down his Stargate program undone, but the President personally refuses to 'commit political suicide': the Stargate will be buried. Daniel's insistence -that the danger for Earth as a whole outweighs everything- convinces his colleagues to ignore Hammond's command and dial the address that the Goa'uld invasion started from in the alternate reality that he visited. They arrive not on a planet but a new, superior type of starship, already launched by hyper-drive. A 'video' proves it belongs to Apophis, who gives command to his son Klorel, whose host is none other than the team's young Abydonian friend, Skaara. Overpowering Skaara seems their best move, while Sam installs explosives in the death glider deck with a 24-hour timer just in case, but the Jaffa manage to liberate Klorel. Jack discovers that the ship goes far faster than expected.
- DirectorJonathan GlassnerStarsRichard Dean AndersonMichael ShanksAmanda TappingAs the Goa'uld attack fleet approaches Earth, all four members of the SG-1 team are taken prisoner. They get help from an unexpected source when Bra'tac, Teal'c's mentor, reveals that he is on board. Apophis has delayed the attack until his son Klorel is revived, giving them some time to prepare. SG-1 has used all of the C4 on one of the two ships but must find a way to dispose of the second. Back at Stargate Command, Lt. Col. Bert Samuels arrives as a Pentagon liaison officer but also reveals a new weapon they have developed. General Hammond is dubious. They begin to transport humans to an Alpha site in order to ensure the continuation of mankind.
- DirectorDennis BerryStarsRichard Dean AndersonMichael ShanksAmanda TappingThe team, now designated SG-1 are planning their next foray through the gate as they try to map out the variety of sites available to them and locate their missing friends. O'Neill asks that Teal'c be allowed to join his team but Gen. Hammond thinks that will be unlikely given that he is the host for a Goa'uld. Unknown to anyone, however, is that O'Neill's close friend, Maj. Charles Kawalsky, leader of SG-2, has been infected by a Goa'uld, an immature version that has not yet taken complete control of the host. Kawalsky is having regular blackouts during which the Goa'uld is trying to return to the gate. An MRI reveals what is wrong but it's unlikely the creature that has fused itself to Kawalsky's spine can be surgically removed. Meanwhile, Col. Kennedy arrives to question Teal'c who has pledged his loyalty to his new world.
- DirectorCharles CorrellStarsRichard Dean AndersonMichael ShanksAmanda TappingWith the Stargate program in danger of being terminated, the team is under pressure to find technology. Visiting a planet where they believe there is a creature that possesses the secret of invisibility, they encounter Apophis and his guards. Both sides receiving mortal wounds, they are aided by the planet's inhabitants, the Nox, a gentle people with a very large secret.
- DirectorJonathan GlassnerStarsRichard Dean AndersonMichael ShanksAmanda TappingDaniel Jackson discovers that the Stargate was activated in 1945 and a young professor went through, never to return. Together with his still living fiancée, the SG1 team discover the now aged professor, naked and trapped in a decaying fortress, containing the secrets of an Ancient alliance. Will they be able to rescue him and escape to earth in time?
- DirectorMartin WoodStarsRichard Dean AndersonMichael ShanksAmanda TappingThe Stargate team must justify the project's continuation when a doubtful senator, Head of the Congressional Military Appropriations Committee, comes to review the project's performance.
- DirectorMartin WoodStarsRichard Dean AndersonMichael ShanksAmanda TappingSamantha Carter becomes the host of a Goa'uld when she was trying to save the life of the previous host.
- DirectorBrad TurnerStarsRichard Dean AndersonMichael ShanksAmanda TappingWhen Teal'c makes Sam Carter realize how valuable the knowledge left by Tok'ra Jolinar in her brain and the chance for an alliance can be, they convince General Hammond to let SG-1 attempt a meeting. They arrive on a planet which is deserted on the surface, but are awaited by well-camouflaged, armed Tok'ra who bring them to tunnels which they create by means of a mysterious crystal, which can also undo them afterward. Both parties are quite suspicious, the team feels like captives, and indeed, the Tok'ra leader Yosuuf fears they cannot be released, at least until the whole site is moved. Meanwhile, the Tau'ri barely overcome their suspicion against the Tok'ra Goa'uld biology (with symbiote), when asked to volunteer themselves as 'hosts', and Carter learns Martouf (and his symbiote, Lantash) was Jolinar's lover, hence has a special connection with her.
- DirectorBrad TurnerStarsRichard Dean AndersonMichael ShanksAmanda TappingThe attempt to forge an alliance with the Tok'ra seems a miserable failure, as SG-1 is practically imprisoned as a security risk and considered virtually hostile because 'blending', by agreeing to host a symbiote, is a bridge too far for each of them. When SG-3 arrives and informs Sam about her terminally ill father General Jacob Carter's quickly worsening condition, she realizes the symbiote's healing powers, confirmed to apply to cancer, make hosting an offer to good to refuse for him. Garshaw allows Sam and Jack to return and convince both generals to allow the plan, which is achieved. Meanwhile, the Tok'ra must hastily evacuate, destroying tunnels behind them, because a large-scale attack by Apophis's troops is expected soon, while Jacob meets his potential symbiotic partner Selmak and his equally terminal predecessor to help him decide. Jack verifies his strong suspicion there is traitor among the Tok'ra who is communicating with the Goa'uld.
- DirectorDavid Warry-SmithStarsRichard Dean AndersonMichael ShanksAmanda TappingSG-1 travels to a planet whose people are allies of the Asgard.
- DirectorMartin WoodStarsRichard Dean AndersonMichael ShanksAmanda TappingThe Asgard and three Goa'uld System Lords meet at Stargate Command to negotiate a treaty modification, but subterfuge and treachery threaten not only the success of the negotiations, but Earth itself.
- DirectorPeter DeLuiseStarsRichard Dean AndersonMichael ShanksAmanda TappingResponding to a help cry from Kasuf, SG-1 and more USAF wipe out a Goa'uld Jaffa guard to save most of the slaves on Abydonia. When Amaunet turns her hand device on Daniel, he can't bring himself to shoot his beloved wife Sha're, but Teal'c saves him by fatally staff-shooting her, and Abydononian funeral tradition squashes his hope of a sarcophagus resurrection. Crushed by grief, Daniel has apparitions of Sha're and, once released from hospital, resigns from SGC claiming the quest for his wife was his reason to join. Daniel's former research assistant, Dr. Robert Rothman, succeeds him in SG-1; but Jack is sure he'll be back. Sha're (or Amaunet's posthumous manual spell?) keeps appearing to Daniel life-like, telling him to forgive Teal'c and together find their boy who, as Harsisis, has all the Goa'uld knowledge in his genetic memory, which, to the Goa'uld, means he must be killed. Daniel agrees to return, but has a secret agenda, too.
- DirectorPeter DeLuiseStarsRichard Dean AndersonMichael ShanksAmanda TappingMartouf leads a Tok'ra delegation with crushing news for Carter: her father Jacob/Selmak has been captured by Sokar and imprisoned on Netu, an Egyptian name for hell, on a moon of planet Delmal, where prisoners are sent to suffer eternal torture, and from where no one returns; only Jolinar has ever escaped. SG-1 mounts a rescue operation with Martouf, top-priority being any information Selmak can offer about Sokar's plan to subjugate the other system lords, an unprecedented threat for all humanoids in the galaxy. Teal'c must pilot a Goa'uld ship and keep it in orbit as landing is impossible except by small pod, but first Martouf taps into Jolinar's memory, which is partially blocked by some trauma beyond physical torture. Only when they're down and in the custody of Netu's lord Bynarr, does Sam realize he is the key, in a 'personal' way, but not voluntarily, as she had thought. Sokar learns of their presence from Bynarr and orders the team and craft destroyed, but this also means there must be a way out. Bynarr's prime, Na'onak, has, and is himself, a major surprise.
- DirectorPeter DeLuiseStarsRichard Dean AndersonMichael ShanksAmanda TappingNow that Apophis has revealed himself, he promises the prisoners to overturn Sokar, which requires extracting an irresistibly valuable secret, to which end he drugs Sam with the truth serum 'blood of Sokar.' Apophis also implants a memory device in, and gives the drug to, Jack to torture him using the persona of his young son that died, and Daniel for the location of his Harsesis son. Martouf's love for Jolinar makes him betray that the Tok'ra are on planet Entac - a convincing lie, so Apophis's plan to earn Sokar's gratitude, and then kill him when rewarded with the lordship of Netu, is on a shaky basis. Teal'c must help the Tok'ra Aldwin prepare a nuclear weapon to explode the whole moon when his ship arrives as their last chance to eliminate Sokar, but he decides to rescue SG-1 instead, by flying in the path of the rings device on Sokar's ship when he arrives.

O'Neill, Carter and Jackson put the armbands on and it increases their physical strength, but it also causes them to make rash decisions. Can they get the armbands off before they cause their deaths?
- DirectorMartin WoodStarsRichard Dean AndersonMichael ShanksAmanda TappingWhen an SG-team member tries to assassinate the Tok'ra leader, it is believed that some of the SGC have been converted into Za'tarc - programmed assassins. The Tok'ra Freya comes to the SGC with Martouf to try and test all SG-team members. But the Za'tarc detector suggests that O'Neill and Carter are actually Za'tarcs. Is this correct and is there another Za'tarc at the SGC?

- DirectorAndy MikitaStarsRichard Dean AndersonMichael ShanksAmanda TappingIn 2010, Robert Kinsey is president of a brave new world since he concluded the alliance with the Aschen, a race discovered by SG-1 which lets humanity enjoy its far advanced science and technology, including a vaccine against aging. Sam is now a civilian scientist, married to ambassador Joe Faxon, whose only worry is failing to get pregnant. When she double-checks the Aschen doctor Mollem's computer with Dr. Fraiser, who felt superfluous given superior medicine, they discover human fertility is down 90% worldwide in three years. Sam, Daniel and Teal'c turn to retired General Jack, who always warned against handing over technological control, for a daring plan to turn the clock back like General Hammond did once, sending a message to their past with the exact time of a solar flare, which Sam can calculate using the Aschen computer. Only one ingredient is out of their reach: the GDO device to control the Stargate's iris, which is in the White House. Sam implores her husband Joe to steal it, but he has a secret as well as sincere objections.

- DirectorMartin WoodStarsRichard Dean AndersonAmanda TappingChristopher JudgeThe SG-1 team travels to the Antarctic science station when the scientists there discover an ancient body in the ice. The age of the ice core samples would indicate that the body predates mankind. As they thaw the body, it comes to life. It's a young woman who they call Ayiana. As Ayiana gains strength, those around her all fall ill having contracted an unknown virus which they believe Ayiana carried. The new arrival also shows healing powers and can seemingly cure any illness just by touch. As she does so however she weakens to the point of death. In the end, only Col. O'Neill remains untreated and SGC seeks the help of the Tok'ra who offer an unexpected solution.
- DirectorPeter F. WoesteStarsRichard Dean AndersonAmanda TappingChristopher JudgeA television news crew has unearthed information about an Air Force project called "Prometheus". They believe it to be a generator, but know it uses Trinium, an element not found on Earth. In order to keep them quiet the Air Force allows them to film the X-303, a spaceship based on Asgard technologies, otherwise known as Prometheus. Things turn south when the news crew arm themselves and hold the Prometheus, as well as Sam and Jonas, hostage.
- DirectorAndy MikitaStarsRichard Dean AndersonAmanda TappingChristopher JudgeHaving regained control of the X-303, the SG-1 team finds itself in an unknown part of space. Rescue comes in the form of the Asgard, specifically Thor, who needs their help. The Asgard home world has been overrun by the Replicators and they require SG-1's help as well as the relatively low tech X-303. The Asgard had set a trap for the Replicators and hoped to use a time dilation device that would give them the time they need to find a way to defeat them. The problem is that the Replicators have turned off the device and the Asgard want SG-1 to go in and activate it. They accept the assignment but to meet their objective, O'Neill will face a moral dilemma.

- DirectorMartin WoodStarsRichard Dean AndersonAmanda TappingChristopher JudgeRiding in the elevator in the SGC, O'Neill is visited by Daniel Jackson who needs his help. Daniel tells him that Anubis is headed for Abydos to search for something called the Eye of Ra, a relic that would make Anubis all-powerful. It's essential that SG-1 go to Abydos and secure the Eye but no one has seen it - including Daniel - nor has anyone ever been able to find it. On the planet they see their old friend Skaara and with Daniel's help locate the Eye. They also find a tablet that speaks of a lost city of the ancients. When Anubis and his troops land in force there is little anyone can do to stop them. In the end it's left to Daniel to decide if he will try to stop Anubis - thereby breaking a cardinal rule of the Ancients.
