i would have rat the series a perfect 10 for outstanding and consistently high quality story and character development have it not be for the last episode of season 10. the final episode of the 10th season unending and where ( it would certainly appear that ) the asgard have be kill off in a very rushed and unconvincing and very unceremonious fashion and leave me in disbelief . from the extremely rushed end of the series and it obvious that many of the story arc be originally schedule to occur over at least one more season . my guess would be that they rapidly accelerate these story to position the stargate sg 1 franchise for the two upcoming direct to dvd move . unless the asgard return in a future sg 1 movie ( with a very good explanation of the apparent extinction ) and i think that the fan have be cheat with a poor clean up of loose end . poor end to an otherwise brilliant sci fi series .
