It's what you were thinking yourself. Admit it.

SG1 is a god show. I've seen all of the first two seasons, a little of season three, and some of five. I'm going to pick up the season three discs this weekend.

That's a nice way to put it!
Actually - I find the movie is WAY more enjoyable after watching a few seasons of the show. You go back to the movie an appreciate it on a whole new level... of course things like the Asgard and Goa'uld weren't "around" when the movie was made... but they are supposed to be - and it makes the movie better as it's as if it now is set in a universe of a more epic scale.

To be honest, I dunno. Richard Dean Anderson has always carried the show for me - but since the sixth season, he's reduced his time on the show. We haven't had an O'Neill-centric show since the middle of last season, and I miss his performances. True, the rest of the cast is very strong and watching them have the space to ham it up is great (especially with the latest episode "Lifeboat"), but dammit, I miss RDA! There are also the ensemble shows, which are usually great, but where they ahve great plotting and pacing they lack somewhat on individual character development.
I guess what I'm saying is that the show has a star, and that the star has been absent. RDA seems content with his reduced time on the show (so he can spend time with his family in the States instead of being in Vancouver), but I think that without the presence he had on the show in its earlier seasons, they should move on before it becomes tedious. I'm happy Daniel's back, and that the original chemistry of the show is basically restored, but without all the O'Neill, it's not quite the show I love.

I think they're just having too much fun with the "Atlantis" thing.
[spoilers]
The season finale has Anubis attacking Earth, and the piddly Prometheus defending - with Hammond at the conn. For the eighth season, scuttlebutt has it that O'Neill may get promoted to Hammond's position, while the show transitions to the spinoff series.

Well, I'd hardly call the Prometheus piddly. It's equipped with Asgard shields and weaponry, after all. As for Anubis, where DOES he get all those great toys?

Anubis has doubtless found a source of Ancients' technology. However, per several episodes' evidence he may not have the ability to replicate it.
More to the point, Anubis' technology HAS been able to deafeat the Asgard. Thor's bluff at the end of the fifth season took care of it temporarily, but who knows for how long. The Prometheus MAY be able to take on regular Goa'uld Ha'tac class ships, but certainly not many, and certainly not Anubis' super-duper tech.

Season 8 - FANTASTIC! Let's just hope they don't get greedy and pull an X-Files... but by season 6 X-Files was already on its way down hill and atm (I've only seen up to Season 6's "The Other Guys") it's at the top of its game!
PLEASE PLEASE PLASE - I'm asking for BIG ARSE SPOILER WARNINGS - as you can't put it at the top of a thread (in a subject) don't just start talking about frikkin' events of season 6, 7 or 9 - infact NO SEASON (ok except for season 1) details should be mentioned in a post (I've mentioned no details here) without CLEAR labelling at the BEGINNING of your post that it contains events and information from that season.
I've already been spoiled about this new ship BUGGER!!!!!
