Review of 2001

Stargate SG-1: 2001 (2001)
Season 5, Episode 10
8/10
Good Episode With One Exception
10 January 2024
Warning: Spoilers
This was an entertaining episode with one exception and that is Ronny Cox appearing as Senator Kinsey. This series would have been more more entertaining if they had stuck to just exploring other planets and cultures. Of course, some government would have crept in as they are the Air Force, but it got to the point where SG-1 was fighting their own government more than they were the aliens. Another potential suitor/husband for Sam bites the dust in this episode as well.

Moral to this story: Saving the world from a future perspective might involve including a little bit more detail in a note. Writing something like, "Don't hook up with the Aschens," would probably have been more effective than just saying not to go to a specific planet, as the Aschens could have travelled anywhere. This episode also had a very out-of-character O'Neill at the beginning, as he does not trust anyone until they prove themselves and here he was all in, five minutes after meeting the Aschen.

If this series was still in production, my advice would be fewer characters like Kinsey and Woolsey and more interaction with other worlds and people. It's not a reality show, so lay off the government melodrama.
