It started out ok, but towards the end, it went bleh. They wrapped up a bunch of story lines in season 8. The jaffa finally have their freedom, and have founded a free jaffa nation. Jacob and Selmak (Selmak was Jacob's Tok'ra symbiote) died in the 1.5 hr special episode titled threads. These last two episodes have to do with time travel and finding the Ancient's ZPM's. (ZPM stands for Zero Point Module.)

THe one thing above all others that SUCKED ASS about this season was that Jack O'neil was no longer an offworld duty officer. He took comman dof the sgc after Hammonds promotion to the Department of Homeworld Defence. Richard Dean Anderson has been cutting down his camera time more and more each season since season six to spend more time with his daughter. (He lives in I think CA, Stargate sets are in canada)

Season nine sounds badass though.
