Not wars and battles with intergalactic zombies and Sharia Muslim wannabe priests.
I predict that this will be the last season of SG-1.
Remember Captain Cisco and the founders? What a load of horsehoey. SG-1 seems to have hired the same brain dead writers that lack imaginations.
I have no problem with shows about Galactic wars for instance "Space Above and Beyond" or many successful scifi written works. SG1 has lacked writers from the get go, but has basically stayed alive because other better written shows were on more ratings driven venues like fox. On scifi a small blip of loyal voewers can keep a mediocre show alive where that same blip will do nothing at fox.
I seem to remember that the movie and all of the early shows were essentially fights against the ancient pseudo - God bad guys.

Only 10 seasons? And at least three seasons worth of spinoff? Dismal failure, obviously.
Actually, the thing about the original "Star Trek" I loathed the most was the "It's another life form, we must communicate with it" followed closely by the prime directive crap. As you may notice the Enterprise wound up in conflict with a whole bunch of other life forms, aside from the Kirk "It's a female lifeform, let's conjugate it" episodes, and the prime directive was observed mostly in the breach. What made STAR TREK a success was the interaction of Kirk, Spock and McCoy, a formula that largely failed when tried in subsequent series.
What did make them all was the conflict/interaction with: Klingons, Romulans, Cardassians, Jem Hadar and the Borg [and the views of those societies]. I always thought the absolute WORST Star Trek series was VOYAGER, which was the closest to the exploration theme. The only things on that show worth watching was Seven of Nine [the Spock prototype, this time with curves] and the Doctor.
