Warning! Spoilers ahead. Read at your own risk!

Wow, It has been a loooonnggg time since I sat down to write one of these. In fact, this afternoon Lady Jessica and I watched the last episode of season nine, and here I am just sitting down to write my season six review!

As I looked back through the episode summaries of this season over at GateWorld, I was struck by the fact that none of them really jumped out at me as being particularly memorable. We certainly got more battles with the Goa’uld, this season primarily focusing on Anubis as the bad guy. We got more meddling from Sen. Kinsey into the Stargate program. Most importantly though, we welcomed a new member to SG-1.

After Daniel ascended to a higher plane of existence, he was eventually replaced by Jonas Quinn (Corin Nemec), who we met at the end of the previous season. Daniel Jackson sacrificed himself to save potentially millions of Jonas’ fellow citizens, thus leading to his need to ascend. Jonas turns out to be a quick study, and takes over Daniel’s duties as the team’s expert in culture and languages having poured through Daniel’s notebooks. 

I knew enough about the series to know that Jonas is only a member of SG-1 for one season, so I knew exactly how the season would play out. At first, Jonas would take some getting used to, and by the end of season six we’d hate to see him go. That’s exactly what happened, as it turned out. 

Items of note. There were a couple of neat episodes in which Daniel appeared to members of SG-1 to help them through a difficult time. One of those featured some great acting by Christopher Judge in which Teal’c has a near death experience where he believes that he is a human firefighter. Another neat thing was seeing Enterprise’s own John Billingsley in the episode The Other Guys. Season six is also notable for being the first to air on The Sci Fi Channel, and the show has a shiny new opening credits sequence to go along with that.
