The Ark of Truth was HORRIBLE. While I was pretty well enjoying seasons 9 & 10 (helps I never could get into Farscape) despite the lack of motherfucking Jack O'Neill, I hated hated HATED the Ori so much. And TAOT wrapped up that storyline in such a monumentally LAME way. Then again, lame ending for a lame - and ANNOYING - villain. Continuum is worth it for the alternate universe stuff. And motherfucking Jack O'Neill.
Oh man, "Windows" is easily my all time favorite SG1 ep. I've seen it SO MANY times. Way better than SPN's "Mystery Spot", but I didn't like that one much to begin with.
I'm one of the odd fans and didn't find SGA hitting an interesting stride until seasons four and five. Seasons one through three were the Rodney McKay Show and I really don't like McKay that much, esp. not for an hour on a weekly basis. His charm was in his relatively limited screentime on SG1. But four and five branched out to different team members. Not to say there wasn't bogus nonsense happening then, but at least it was bogus nonsense happening to somebody OTHER than McKay.
SGU is ... not very good. I spent the first seven eps just railing it and wishing I hadn't promised to give it a full season before deciding if it sucked or not. Episode 8 was the time travel-ish one and it ruled. The one after it sucked and ep 10, the last ep aired before mid-season break, was pretty pimp. Esp. how it ended on an awesome cliffhanger.
