STARGATE SG-1 ran for ten years plus two movies, which is a pretty remarkable feat of television production. So how do you get a show to go 214 episodes? A bit of luck and a lot of talent, no doubt. But Stargate also benefited from some strategic moves behind the scenes, as well as a willingness to recast and reinvent itself along the way.

But it wasn’t always clear to the Powers That Be that the show was coming back for another season, and a renewal from the network was rarely a certainty. Starting with SG-1 Season 5, most years the writers had to plan for the likelihood that the show would be ending. So on several occasions they wrote a season ender that could also serve as a suitable SERIES finale.

Here we’re looking at four times during STARGATE SG-1's production that a finale was written to end the show ... and how even the actual final episode couldn’t keep the team down!
