Big changes were in store for Stargate SG-1 when it began Season Six. The series had been dropped by Showtime after five years, and picked up by SCI FI Channel for what many thought would be one last year. But being basic cable, SCI FI introduced the show to a legion of new viewers and it took off — along with the first time repeats of past seasons had been seen on the network. Season Six aired from 2002 to 2003, and it would be far from the end of the team’s adventures.

With the departure of Michael Shanks the show welcomed a new regular cast member: Corin Nemec joined SG-1 as Jonas Quinn, a bright and eager young Kelownan who played a role in his predecessor’s demise but is now trying to make up for his mistake. Meanwhile, Anubis is on the march, using his insights into the Ancients to conquer the galaxy. Earth takes a big step forward by launching its first space vessel, Prometheus … and the Replicators become a bigger threat than ever before.

Things to watch for this season:

• The career Rodney McKay really wanted
• Ninja Jaffa!
• The end of Earth’s very first ally in the galaxy
• “Supreme Commander …”
• Bra’tac is believed to be dead
• The destruction of the S.G.C.’s Stargate
• The first mention of the “lost city”
• Jack O’Neill wants to die … one last time
• Those “Foothold” mimic devices come in handy
• Nirrti’s last (manipulative, psychopathic) stand
• A lost Tok’ra found again
• A rare mention … “Furlings” …
