The thing is... SG-1 really ended in season 8. The last scene was the original gang-of-four fishing at the no-fish lake at Jack's place and a fish jumps in the water ("eek, they changed time!") and it's charming as hell and a great way to end the series.
What became season 9 was supposed to be season 1 of a new show, called Stargate SGC. SciFi demanded that they keep the old name, but frankly, speaking as a long-time fan, the show feels totally different than the old show, just as SG-A feels totally different from both SG-1 and "SGC." I honestly feel like my two-season-long show has been cut off at the roots.
