It’s hard to believe that we’ve crossed the finish line for SG-1‘s part in the Stargate Rewatch! Our 17-month project to rewatch the entire Stargate franchise has ended its tenth month, and it’s time to reveal your top picks for the best of Stargate SG-1 Season Ten.
We asked fans to nominate their favorite episodes, character moments, villains, technology, and more, which were then put on a ballot and voted on by fans around the world. The two SG-1 movies each got their own “Best Moment” category, with the other categories limited to the 20 hours of Season Ten itself.
If you want to contribute to the Stargate Atlantis Season One ballot, you can nominate your favorites right now at GateWorld Forum! We’ll be officially kicking off our Atlantis rewatch this week, so fire up those DVDs and Blu-rays and stay tuned for more on GateWorld. Learn more about the Stargate Rewatch here.

I’m surprised to see that The Quest Part 2 only got 14%. It’s by far by favourite episode of that season for many reasons (that I cba to go in to)
Just a head’s up – Joseph Mallozzi has started a retrospective on his weblog of his time on Stargate Atlantis. What great timing, just as the Atlantis Rewatch begins!
Thanks for the tip, Joe. That is some very interesting reading. Mr. Mallozzi has a very entertaining and diverse blog.
The best Daniel moment was when he first saw Atlantis. How could people not view for that?
