If you don't mind my asking, where are you downloading the episodes from? I"ve seen almost all of the new episodes but it takes me forever to find them.
Thanks

Thought I'd bump this since the finale just aired here in the US.
Finale may be a bit misleading being that there is no closure. I'm guessing that's what the movies will be providing later in the year. On a side note, how is it Sci-Fi is willing to fund two feature length projects but cannot find enough money for more episodes? Don't movies, even direct to DVD, tend to cost more than television?
On to the show itself. I didn't have a problem with the episode other than nothing really gets resolved. Not a big fan of "turn back the clock so it never happened" as a plot device but it worked okay I guess.
There were two moments that had me on the verge of passing out due to laughter. Both occured while Carter was laying out how long they could remain stuck in time. 1)The facial expression Teal'c has after Carter says "3 months" is absolutely priceless. I don't ever remember Christopher Judge having that look through the entire run of the series. 2)Vala turning to Daniel "I'll go crazy and I'm taking you with me". Not sure if that quote is accurate but it was damn funny.
I didn't realize so many SG-1 fans don't like Vala. For my money she has been the highlight the past two seasons. Hell, her first appearance is one of the funniest episodes I remember and established immediately the on screen chemitstry between Claudia Black and Michael Shanks.

I completely agree on all points, Sin. I loved Claudia's character. I really liked Morena's character, and have paid a dear price on sg1archive.net for saying so.
It goes without saying another man's trash is another man's treasure. In this case, I'd take those treasures everyday of the week, and twice on Sundays.

Heh. The image of a Cull Warrior coming on to Daniel is something I'll never forget.
Neither will Daniel, probably.

I agree that the final episode really didn't give "closure", but then again I don't think it is supposed to. The first direct to dvd movie is already in post production and the second one has a script and is a go. If they are successful no doubt they will keep cranking out dvd movies.
The finale itself left me feeling a bit flustered. The Asgard are gone, just like that. Very anti-climatic and with no fanfair. It was a sad and traumatic goodbye to a race I really enjoyed throughout the series, but being only an hour long episode we did not have time to mourn their sudden and explosive passing.
The time bubble scenario was interesting and what transpired amongst the characters during all those years trapped was compelling, especially the long overdue relationship between Vala and Daniel. I kind of wanted to punch Daniel during his hurtful rant at Vala, even my wife was saying he was being a jerk.
I like Vala as well. I think she has been the comic relief for the show and the character who thinks outside of the box for SG1. Though I doubted her at first, she has proven to be a contributing member of the team.
I kind of figured they would go with the reverse time to avoid death thing, which was fine I suppose. The fact that Teal'c was trapped in a time bubble so that he experienced all of those 50 years trapped in time w/ SG1 and is now back with the team who are unaware of those experiences makes for some interesting character interaction and hopefully will be played out in the future dvds.
I just knew the last scene would show SG1 walking through the gate. That is how it should end, showing that the adventures continue, with or without Sci Fi channel.

I'm not a fan of Vala or Cam, either. Cam could simply be the replacement factor, but it really did feel like it took the show in a very different direction (although not as much as Landry seemed to - another casting choice I've not been impressed with at all). Vala just gets on my nerves. It's almost as if every time she talks I want to change the channel - but then I remind myself that I'm watching SG-1, and I care about the story more 
I do enjoy Adria and the Ori as a storyline, though. Unfortunately I don't see how they're going to wrap things up in a single movie. It makes me shudder to think.
Oh, and the finale. As an episode, not even considering it as a finale, the whole thing felt rushed and awkward. I had really high hopes going in to the episode, and I guess that's almost always a formula for disaster, but I was really let down overall.
Just an opinion,
Amiton.

and thanks--you said it a bit better than I
granted SG1 got 10 seasons but wondering if the changes prevented the outcry of fans that the show was ending
I liked the Ori storyline but thought the loss of the main bad guys--gu"old lost some of that mythic
arc I enjoyed
course too they were promised movies--didnt I read about 3 movies--
Also, I can kill you with my brain.
