Colonel Jack O'Neill is brought out of retirement to lead a new expedition back to Abydos, only to find an old friend, a new enemy and a far wider use of the Stargate.

Following a Stargate technical defect, O'Neill and Carter are stranded next to a Stargate in a cave on an icy wasteland. O'Neill is severely wounded and both are freezing. Will the SGC find and rescue them in time?

After arriving on P3X-989, the team are rendered unconscious. When they wake, they return to Earth, but soon find out that they are androids. The team must return to the planet to find out what happened to their real bodies.

The Stargate team must justify the project's continuation when a doubtful senator, Head of the Congressional Military Appropriations Committee, comes to review the project's performance.

SG-1 discovers an ancient artifact and brings it back to the SGC. Ariving at the SGC, it becomes active, pins O'Neill to the gate room wall, and unleashes a virus into him.

SG-1 travels to a planet whose people are allies of the Asgard.

Stargate Command opens a wormhole to a planet with a black hole in orbit.

Following on a Tok'ra tip, SG-1 goes to a planet where they find the hated Apophis, nearly dying and under attack by death-gliders. They get back with him, realizing he was tortured by a rival system-lord with lasting harm. Apophis demands sanctuary, provided Dr. Fraiser can save his life, at least on account of the human host, but without a sarcophagus the prognosis for his symbiont is lousy; he offers all his Goa'uld knowledge in exchange for a new host, i.e. his life, revealing he was defeated by the terrible Sokar, once supreme system lord till an alliance lead by Ra and Apophis unseated him. The confrontation with Daniel, on account of Amaunet/Sha're and their son Klorel, and with former prime Teal'c, is bitter for all three. The Tok'ra send Martouf to warn the Tau'ri must hand over Apophis, but their warning is ignored- until Sokar proves he can bombard the iris with accelerated particles and ultimately cut through it, so the White House orders his extradition, but before they can he dies, unlike his host, an Ancient Egyptian temple scribe of Amun.

An alien incursion takes control of the base.

The SGC send a MALP to a huge pyramid and inside they discover a crystal skull like the one Jackson's grandfather found many years before. SG1 visit the planet and whilst Daniel is looking into the eyes of the skull, as his grandfather did, an energy field envelops him. Teal'c fires his Zat at the skull, but Daniel has disappeared. Carter collapses and the team minus Daniel return to the SGC. Teal'c returns to collect the crystal skull, but will he be able to find Daniel?

SG-1 has to deal with a Replicator infestation on a Russian sub on Earth while Major Carter advises the Asgard about combating the menace in their galaxy.

The SGC is contacted by an advanced and embattled alien human civilization seeking military assistance, but their exact reasons for it become increasingly suspect.

The SGC is visited by a Tok'ra named Anise who brings some armbands used by the soldiers of a long extinct race, which are supposed to increase the abilities of the wearers. O'Neill, Carter and Jackson put the armbands on and it increases their physical strength, but it also causes them to make rash decisions. Can they get the armbands off before they cause their deaths?

When an SG-team member tries to assassinate the Tok'ra leader, it is believed that some of the SGC have been converted into Za'tarc - programmed assassins. The Tok'ra Freya comes to the SGC with Martouf to try and test all SG-team members. But the Za'tarc detector suggests that O'Neill and Carter are actually Za'tarcs. Is this correct and is there another Za'tarc at the SGC?

Col. O'Neill and Teal'c realize they and their friends are trapped in a time loop.

On the Enkarans' new home, SG-1 discovers a giant spaceship is threatening the colonists as it terraforms the planet.

When one of Daniel's professors dies in a lab explosion which might be related to the Goa'uld, he comes back to Chicago to investigate what really happened.

Teal'c is on his home planet, Chulak, where there is rebellion among the Jaffa warriors. He is betrayed as a sacrilegious shol'va (traitor) by Rak'nor, son of a Jaffa friend of his father, and handed to Terok, the torturer of system lord Heru'ur. Ignorant of his fate, the other SG-1 members join Jacob in a risky attempt to take hold of a space mine using a Tok'ra ship piloted by Jacob. En route to Apophis' spaceship, the expedition finds out that Teal'c is being offered as a confidence-building present from Heru'ur to cement an alliance with Apophis against the other system lords, which would make the Goa'uld threat more dangerous than ever. They decide to save Teal'c, but their attempt fails. However, Teal'c's resistance to torture and clear conviction that Goa'uld are not gods finally convinces Rak'nor, who now bravely acts.

General Hammond mysteriously retires from the SGC and a new general is brought in, who breaks up SG-1: Daniel and Sam are scientists, Teal'c is with SG-3 and O'Neill commands a new SG-1. O'Neill tries to convince Gen. Hammond to return, but he finds out that someone ordered Hammond to leave or they would hurt his grandchildren. While the others are occupying the new general, O'Neill tries to find out who that "someone" is. Thereto he must place his trust in the one person he hates most: Maybourne.

When the SGC probes a new planet, an alien energy entity there responds by invading the SGC's computer systems, and then Major Carter herself.

Stranded in another galaxy while fleeing their attack on Apophis' fleet proves only the beginning of SG-1's problems as multiple enemies appear.

To help Teal'c's mind clear again, SG-1 asks Bra'tac to help. Bra'tac removes Teal'c's Goa'uld and Teal'c is forced to remember certain memories of his past in order to get back to the real Teal'c in the end. SG-1 is glad to have him back.

When SG-1 inadvertently dooms a planet upon arrival, the team must overcome Asgardian diplomacy and indigenous religious prejudice to put things right.

When Teal'c is trapped in the Stargate buffer, the team must juggle the technical challenges along with personal, interdepartmental and diplomatic rivalries to rescue him in time.

In a Tok'ra plan to wipe out the Goa'uld, Daniel goes undercover as Yu's servant to release a poison at a meeting of the system lords. Meanwhile a Goa'uld attack on the Tok'ra base leaves the rest of SG-1 with their hands full.

On an alien planet, SG-1 discovers an inactive android is the only survivor of the destruction of her civilization. They bring her back to the SGC for study and manage to reactivate her. Things take a turn for the worse when she "makes" a replicator bug for Daniel.

While still dealing with the loss of Daniel Jackson the SGC is contacted by the Asgard who require assistance dealing with Anubis, who seems to have new shield technology that can repel Asgard weapons.

Master Bra'tac arrives with bad news: Teal'c's wife is deathly ill, and Teal'c leaves to be with her. Shortly thereafter, the gate is opened but nothing comes through. Then Carter discovers a very low power signal that is slowly building an overload powerful enough to destroy the Earth.

Anubis' weapon continues to threaten Earth. Various plans are tried until Jonas Quinn suggests something simple that just might work. Meanwhile, Master Bra'tac has discovered the planet from which Anubis is launching the attack. He, Teal'c and Rya'c journey there to put a stop to it.

When SGC detects an Goa'uld ship in orbit, SG-1 is dispatched with Jacob Carter to investigate. They find the ship to be abandoned with no discernible life signs and Sam determines it to be the same used to kidnap Thor. Once on board the Goa'uld vessel, they find that the crew had initiated a self destruct sequence. O'Neill would very much like to salvage the ship despite Jacob's warnings that it could be a Trojan horse. An examination of the computer core reveals that Thor may have been able to introduce a virus but Jacob was right: it's an ambush and the ship soon plunges in the ocean. SGC and the Navy mount a rescue operation.

SG-1 is providing security for three scientists who are conducting research on a far-off planet. Goa'uld warlord Khonsu arranges to capture the SG-1 team and O'Neill tells Jay Felger, nominally the group's leader, to use the gate and head back to SGC. Felger is quite enamored with SG-1, admiring their exploits and daring-do. Rather than follow O'Neill's orders, Felger and another scientist, Simon Coombs, transport themselves up to the Goa'uld ship. What the scientists don't know is that SG-1's capture is a ruse to allow Khonsu, who is actually a Tok'ra, to pass on information. O'Neill is quite annoyed with the two scientists but their presence proves useful in the end.

Having regained control of the X-303, the SG-1 team finds itself in an unknown part of space. Rescue comes in the form of the Asgard, specifically Thor, who needs their help. The Asgard home world has been overrun by the Replicators and they require SG-1's help as well as the relatively low tech X-303. The Asgard had set a trap for the Replicators and hoped to use a time dilation device that would give them the time they need to find a way to defeat them. The problem is that the Replicators have turned off the device and the Asgard want SG-1 to go in and activate it. They accept the assignment but to meet their objective, O'Neill will face a moral dilemma.

Former Colonel Harry Maybourne comes to Jack with a proposition: Jack gets him a presidential pardon and Harry shows them the advanced weapons cache that Simmons was trying to get to. They go through with the deal, but Harry attempts to double cross SG-1. He manages to get through the portal leading to the cache, but with one unexpected item, Jack. They find themselves in a field and Harry's zat is missing. Jack, however, still has his P-90. Harry reveals that they are not at a weapons cache, but rather a utopia. He meant to live out the rest of his life there and believes that there is no way back.

The US and Russia reveal Stargate Command and its operations to representatives of the other permanent members of the United Nations Security Council.

Teal'c is having strange nightmares featuring Apophis in which he is human and a firefighter with the rest of his team alongside him.

On a routine mission, SG-1 encounters a civilization desperate to be freed from the clutches of a Goa'uld. While on the planet, Jonas falls ill and is suspended from active duty. His mysterious illness is diagnosed as a brain tumor but gives him the unbelievable ability to glimpse the future, a future where O'Neill and SG-1 are walking into a trap!

A group of nomads on an alien planet find Daniel Jackson naked in the middle of ruins and take him in. Jonas translates the tablet Daniel said was important and discovers that it describes the last city the Ancients were building before the plague. He surmises that the list of addresses Jack put into the computer while storing the Ancient data were Ancient outposts in temporal order. Thus the last of the addresses should be the "City of the Lost". SG-1 visits the planet and happens upon the nomadic people, now inhabiting the ruins of the Ancient city. There they find Daniel, but discover his memory is gone. They must recover his memories in order to discover the secret to defeating Anubis.

In a firefight with Jaffa, Teal'c takes a staff blast to the gut. Without his symbiote, he cannot regenerate as he once did. Daniel feels that he cannot remember something important, so he goes searching through the logs for any sign of his lost knowledge. Teal'c expresses his feelings that the Tritonin has made him weak.

SG-1 investigate a seemingly idyllic and subtly advanced human colony sheltered inside an energy dome on an otherwise inhospitable planet.

While exploring a crashed alien ship full of passengers in cryostasis, an alien force has downloaded a number of their consciousnesses into Daniel.

When an SG geological exploration mission runs into deadly conflict with an indigenous Unas clan, Daniel gets Chaka to help seek an accord with it.

To save his job, Dr. Felger tests a new virus on the Stargate Network to help control it and it ends up disabling it instead.

The Tau'ri and Tok'ra have used their captured super-soldier to determine his planet of origin. With Daniel, Dr. Lee, and the Ancient device they found in the hands of Honduran kidnappers, SGC must find a way to retrieve them if they are to have any chance of defeating the newly encountered super-soldiers.

Jonas Quinn returns to the SGC to ask for assistance in saving his nation. He explains that the Naquadria was originally Naquadah and a Goa'uld named Thanos started a chain reaction to transform all of his planet's Naquadah into Naquadria. A large vein of Naquadah has just been affected and the Kelownan scientists believe that the transformation will cause this large a deposit to explode, taking their entire nation with it.

At the new Alpha site, Sam Carter and Selmak (the symbiote carried by Jacob Carter, her father) are working on a new weapon to defeat the Anubis superdrones when the planet is attacked by a fleet of Goa'uld ships. Carter escapes with the prototype weapon before the base auto-destruct is activated but finds herself being pursued by a superdrone.

The president has asked that a documentarian go to SGC to create a film about its operations. His arrival is unwelcome to most and he begins to clash with the base personnel. Nevertheless, he conducts his interviews with SG-1 and the scientists in the employ of SGC. Meanwhile, an off-world SG team finds the remains of an Ancient city.

In a last ditch effort, O'Neill activated an Ancient weapon in the Antarctic to defeat Anubis. With Jack still in stasis in the Ancient outpost buried in Antarctica, SG-1 tries to contact the Asgard. Meanwhile their new leader, Dr. Elizabeth Weir, tries to decide what to do about a request for peace talks from the Goa'uld System Lords.

The Asgard fleet has managed to destroy the Replicator ship, with Carter aboard, but cannot contain the debris. Talks break down with the System Lords, ending in a Ha'tak being dispatched to test Earth's new defensive capabilities. The Prometheus waits to engage the incoming enemy, but Thor arrives in the Daniel Jackson, with Teal'c aboard. They enlist the help of Daniel and Jack, still in stasis, to remove the threat of the replicators to the new Asgard homeworld.

General O'Neill is still in the early days of commanding the SGC and faces a major problem when newly arrived Russian Col. Alexi Vaselov collapses in his quarters. Dr. Brightman's belief that Vaselof may be contagious seems correct when Daniel, who was with the Russian when he collapsed, apparently goes mad and tries to leave the base through the gate. O'Neill locks down the SGC but the problem isn't contagion: the essence of Anubis is alive and well and seeking a new host.

As the new head of the SGC, General O'Neill is beginning to feel the weight of his load, and he starts to have second thoughts about the whole idea, questioning his own competency.

Dr. Lee is adapting a virtual reality chair for use as a training device. Teal'c thinks its current scenario is all too easy and agrees to work with them to make it more realistic. He enters the game scenario and is quickly "killed" at which point the chair shocks him. Lee says it must be part of its basic construct. As the scenario resets - it's an invasion of SGC by Goa'uld - Teal'c is repeatedly killed and shocked putting him in danger. The computer program is set up to learn after each scenario and the challenge for Teal'c increases at every turn. Daniel volunteers to enter the game as well to see if together they can find a way out.

Teal'c is unhappy with his son's plans to marry. Ishta arrives bringing news that Hak'tyl may be compromised. Complications arise when O'Neill allows Hak'tyl to inhabit SGC until a new homeworld is found for them.

When the Stargate gets beamed out of SGC in the middle of the night, Teal'c is stranded off-world. Dr. Jackson and Colonel Carter attempt to recover the gate.

The replicator Carter and the real Carter work together with the disruptor signal. The replicator has a different plan.

After a long absence, Jacob Carter returns to the SGC to tell Jack that the galaxy is under threat of takeover by the Replicators. The Goa'uld are under attack from the Replicators and are quickly being eliminated. Ba'al's armies are being destroyed and he arrives at SGC to suggest they work together to defeat their common enemy. Carter's doppelganger, RepliCarter, is leading the attack and she has kidnapped Daniel Jackson in the hope of learning of any weapons the Ancients may have created that could defeat them. Jackson gets help from an unexpected source - the Ancient, Oma Desala - or so he thinks.

Sam and Jacob are on the planet Dakara trying to configure the Ancient's device to destroy the Replicators once and for all, helped partly by Ba'al and Daniel, who succeeds in freezing the Replicators by manipulating Carter's duplicate.

With the threats of both the Replicators and the Goa'uld greatly diminished and the sister ship to the Prometheus, the Daedalus, now under construction, SG-1 is anxious to get a ride on the new ship. However, the mood is somewhat darkened by a phone call informing Dr. Jackson of Catherine Langford's death. After the funeral, Catherine's niece gives Daniel "a few odds and ends" that her aunt wanted him to have. Upon delivery it is discovered that almost her entire collection was shipped to Daniel's lab. He finds in one of her books a possible location of a ZPM, but scans of the area showed that it was no longer there. Daniel proposes that they use the Ancient's time machine to take it from Ra at Giza in 3000 BC.

Daniel and Vala have used the Ancient device to inhabit the bodies of people in the Alterans' home galaxy. They have been taken by a Prior of the Ori to meet the Doci, one who speaks with the Ori, their gods. Daniel surmises that the Ori are what the Alterans who became the Ancients left behind and have ascended in a similar fashion, but without the restrictions.

A Prior of the Ori has established an ever-growing forcefield on a Jaffa-controlled planet called Kalana. A minor Goa'uld named Nerus, who engineered the multiple Gate connections required for the defeat of the Replicators, comes to the SGC with information on the event and offers his help.

Following the death of a Jaffa on Earth and the disappearance of a prominent businessman, SG-1 starts an investigation into what remains of the Trust and into the actions of the Jaffa Nation. They discover that Ba'al is hiding on Earth after losing his forces to the Jaffa and that the Jaffa are secretly attempting his capture.

SG-1 returns early from a mission only to realize that they and Gen. Landry aren't on the same page as far as the the mission they've just completed is concerned. The confusion is quickly resolved when the "real" SG-1 returns at the correct time. Dr. Lam examines them all and concludes that they are identical and thinks they might be clones. Sam however thinks they may have come from a parallel universe as the result of the black hole they created when they destroyed the Ori beachhead. As more SG-1 teams arrive from other alternate universes, one of them includes Dr. Fraiser and another includes the Tok'ra Martouf. It's left to Sam and Martouf to find a way to send them all home.

Using the Ancients' communication technology, Vala, who is in the Ori galaxy, contacts the SGC. She tells them that after being sucked into the wormhole she awoke in a bed in a village much like the one she and Daniel had visited when they used the communication stones. The locals think she fell from the sky - a gift from the gods - and befriends the gentle Tomin, a devout follower of the Ori who has a bad leg. Vala has two pieces of information for the SGC: first, she is pregnant though insists that she didn't have sex with anyone; and second, the Ori have been building a fleet of ships and building up its army. Meanwhile, Colonel Chekov advises General Landry that the Russians will not be renewing their working agreement with the United States and will be taking their Stargate.

The SGC is approached by an Al'kesh bomber which lets itself be taken down, so they can capture Ba'al, who offers to exchange the necessary information to find Merlin's weapon for human help to eliminate his clones, which want to kill him. They mistrust his story, as does NID Agent Malcolm Barrett, who, however, fails to take over the investigation. Since the captive might actually be a clone, several missions to different planets retrieve and capture all clones, but which is the real Ba'al, and what are his true intentions?

Martin Lloyd seeks out SG-1 for assistance when his failed TV show based on the real Stargate program becomes a feature film.

Stargate Command gets a video message from Vala's extremely unreliable father, Jacek, on the planet Robak; he claims to know about the late Arkad's plans to attack and blow up Earth, even about the several cloaked, Naquadah-laden cargo ships in orbit, and offers details in exchange for sanctuary. General Landry asks Dr. Lam to help him resume contact with her mother, Kim, his ex-wife. Even after the cargoes are found and blown up, Vala abhors her dad's entry. The general asks her to go easy on him, realizing that he, too, neglected his daughter because of his career, even if Jacek's neglect was just criminal. When Cam and Daniel go tell Jacek he shouldn't scam people, he tricks them into talking to Vala for him. Vala goes over just for catharsis, telling him she's through picking up the pieces of his tricks, and he certainly keeps scamming - as Daniel also finds - even with Terak, a Jaffa from an escaped cargo ship, who hopes to sell the Naquadah. When they are apprehended, Jacek promises to help track it and override the rigging of the cargo ship. The Jaffa wait for Jacek and Vala, intending to eliminate them now that Terak is gone, but SG-1 saves them. Since there never was an override, Jacek cheerfully flies away alone in the cargo ship, ignoring that his treachery was anticipated: it's a decoy.
