Stargate: Continuum is a fresh new episode to add to the story of SG-1. It has a clever plot and it was good to see Baal return to challenge the Tau'ri once again.

The only part I didn't like was the bit at the Russian base before Teal'c arrives. It felt a bit rushed, and I felt that it could have been better. Perhaps, Marina Sirtis could have returned as Dr. Markov and we could have had some dialog with her. But it was not to be.

The plot of the last episode is a bit mad, but it wraps everything up nicely and leaves you with a good feeling. It is kind of a two-part episode. The first part reminded me of Battlestar Galactica a little bit because of the way that they couldn't get away from the Ori (the Ori were somehow tracking them through hyperspace).

Initially, I only watched the first part because we get to a scene where it is apparent that the will-they-won't-they relationship between Daniel and Vala will be resolved (one way or the other). I stopped watching at that point and decided to watch Atlantis because I hadn't done that at the time.

When I came back to SG-1 (after 5 seasons of Atlantis!), I re-watched the two episodes before Unending to remind myself what on Earth was going on. Needless to say it all came flooding back and I very much enjoyed watching the conclusion of SG-1. The second half of the final episode doesn't disappoint and was well worth the wait.

I can see why there are mixed reviews for this episode. It's a bit slow and bizarre at the beginning, but the conclusion is worth the wait.

I was pleased to see that Rodney was a better man in this alternate reality. He was still constantly belittling Zelenka, which is getting very very old now, but at least he came across as being more serious and professional. His conversations with Sheppard were a definite highlight of this episode. Todd's cameo was good too.
