My all time favorite Stargate SG-1 is 'Window of Opportunity' a Groundhog Day version of the show. Repeating a day over and over becomes increasingly hysterical as Colonel O'Neill(Richard Dean Anderson) and Teal'c (Christopher Judge) study the ancient language and translate the pages for anthropologist and linguist, Dr. Daniel Jackson (Michael Shanks), to interpret how to end the 1/2 day time/space loop and live in a world without consequences.
From the monotonous breakfast with the question Jackson asked Jack, who wasn't paying attention, and Teal'c's nose-smashed-by-door moment to golfing through the Stargate for the longest drive on record and of course, the 'kiss' between love-denied Dr. Samantha Carter (Amanda Tapping) and O'Neill (RDA), this cleverly constructed show brings the believable Robin Mossley to another of his many incarnations in Science Fiction television and creates one of televisions most beloved episodes (#6) in Season Four.
What's in a name? Window of Opportunity provides pathos and humor, unrequited love realized, sorrow over death juxtaposed with joy over love, O'Neill's penchant for desiring 'short explanations' because the details are wasted on him as well as the juggling Teal'c and Jack do while Jackson races to solve the problem are the exquisite mix in this episodic drama/comedy/sf/action/adventure show.
In short, it has everything. Well done, to director, Peter DeLuise and of course, writers, Paul Mullie and Joseph Mallozzi; developers, Brad Wright and Jonathan Glassner, whose united vision personified all of the best of Stargate.
