Roxy K @Sleepy-Slime Feb 21 As someone who didn't watch or know anything about Stargate before watching this Series, I fell in love with the Show. See more Will W @RT93096103 01/10/2024 A great way to end the series. See more F R @FSR2003 11/20/2022 I loved every season! It just got better and better. Great that the expedition got home. However, there is no ending. What happened to the wraith? Were they wiped out? Were the humans in the Pegasus galaxy saved? See more al s @RT69627246 09/04/2022 Fun clever writing with good acting. watched every episode of every season. Slowly working my we through every season a second time. See more Read all reviews
