Stargate: The Arc of Truth felt like a glorified episode. While it was nice to wrap up the story, see a few old faces, and of course see the SG-1 team in action, it really didn’t do much for me. I just dismissed it thinking “they’re trying to wrap it up, the next one will be better.”

Nope. At 97 minites long, we’ve basically been given another glorified episode. Or at least an episode and a half.

As I’m sure many people already know, Stargate: Continuum is one of those crazy time travel-alternate time line kind of things. We run into a number of paradoxes, jokes about paradoxes, and by the times it’s over with everything is back to normal. No rift in the space-time continuum, no unraveling of the fabric of time, and really nothing to terribly exciting to speak of. Matter of fact, aside from the cast and set it would have been easy to confuse Stargate: Continuum with one of the many lack luster episodes of Stargate: Atlantis. Yes, I rag on about SGA, but I continue to watch it hoping that it will improve… I’m a Stargate fan, not a fanboi.

While I didn’t find The Arc of Truth or Continuum anything great, I’d still like to see another Stargate SG-1 film. Let’s face it, it’s an awesome cast… they just need someone to write them a good story. Something fresh, that brings the “wow” back to Stargate. Or have we already reached the point where we’ve run out of ideas for this phase of the Stargate franchise?

Will we have to wait for that rumored third series (Stargate Universe)? Surely we can find someone else willing to kill us in the billions of galaxies that are out there. Heck, bring us a bad guy from an alternate dimension or a parallel universe. Bend the laws of space and time, and forever change the Stargate lore. I just want to see this cast in something new.

Lastly, it was sad to watch this movie knowing that Don S. Davis is no longer with us. Rest in Peace.
