Introduction

The tenth and final season of Stargate SG-1, an American-Canadian television series, began airing on 14 July 2006 on Sci Fi Channel (United States).

It concluded after 20 episodes on 13 March 2007 on Sky 1, which overtook the Sci-Fi Channel in mid-season.

The series was developed by Brad Wright and Jonathan Glassner. Brad Wright, Robert C. Cooper, Joseph Mallozzi, and Paul Mullie served as executive producers.

Season ten regular cast members include Ben Browder, Amanda Tapping, Christopher Judge, Beau Bridges, Claudia Black, and Michael Shanks.

The season (and the Ori arc of the show) is continued with direct-to-DVD film Stargate: The Ark of Truth.

Outline

The Asgard summon SG-1 to tell them that their experiments to halt their genetic degeneration have failed, meaning they are a dying race.

Because of this, the Asgard have decided to give “everything [they] have and know” to the Tau’ri.

Thor tells Colonel Carter that the people of Earth are the fifth race, the other four being the Ancients, Nox, Furlings, and the Asgard.

When the Ori show up, the Asgard destroy Orilla, and themselves with it, so that their technology will not fall into the hands of the Ori.

With the new weapons the Asgard equipped the Odyssey with, they are able to destroy an Ori mothership with ease, but come under repeated assault from two more who chase them wherever they go.

In a desperate attempt to stop the relentless pursuit, SG-1 and General Landry beam the crew off the ship onto an uninhabited planet and lock the ship in a time-dilation field when they are unable to separate the new upgrades from the hyperdrive.

They end up spending around fifty to sixty years trapped on the ship, moments away from death if they ever stop the field.

During that time, Landry dies and Daniel and Vala get together.

As an old woman, Carter figures out how to reverse time so this never happens, but unless someone stays old, everything will happen the same way.

It also requires temporarily allowing the ship to be destroyed to allow an energy blast to power the effect.

Due to his greater lifespan, Teal’c volunteers and is able to give Carter what she needs to separate the hyperdrive quickly, and the Odyssey escapes.
