Cooper, Joseph Mallozzi, and Paul Mullie served as executive producers. Season ten regular cast members include Ben Browder, Amanda Tapping, Christopher Judge, Claudia Black, Beau Bridges, and Michael Shanks.
The season (and the Ori arc of the show) is continued with direct-to-DVD film Stargate: The Ark of Truth.
Reception
[edit]Will O'Brien of TV Squad thought "Company of Thieves" was, for the most part, a good one, despite a disappointing performance by Rudolf Martin.[1] Jason Van Horn of IGN, however, was less than impressed, suggesting that the episode just wasn't interesting – that the Lucian Alliance was an enemy no one cares about and that Paul Emerson wasn't enough of a character within the show for his death to have had any meaningful impact.[2]
The tenth and final season of Stargate SG-1 was nominated for a Saturn Award in the category "Best Syndicated/Cable Television Series". For his portrayal of Moros in "The Quest, Part 2", Matthew Walker was nominated for a Leo Award in the category "Best Supporting Performance by a Male in a Dramatic Series".[3] The episode "200" was nominated for a Hugo Award in the category "Best Dramatic Presentation – Short Form".[3]

Following their devastating attack on Milky Way forces, the Ori leave the scene to begin their holy crusade and purify the galaxy of evil. As the remnants of the makeshift Milky Way fleet come together, Vala gives birth to a baby girl, the Orici, genetically altered by the Ori to command their forces. Daniel Jackson has escaped to the Ori flagship, which has just arrived on Chulak to convert the Jaffa into believing in Origin. He pretends to be an Ori warrior while he and Vala attempt to kidnap the Orici, who has been named Adria by Vala. An attempt by SG-1 and Bra'tac to destroy the fleet over Chulak fails and Bra'tac sets a collision course with one of the ships in a futile attempt to destroy it while Daniel is captured by Tomin, Vala's husband. He escapes and knocks out both Adria and Tomin, but is disarmed by a Prior and trapped with Vala in a wall of fire with no way out. In the nick of time, the Odyssey arrives and beams SG-1 off their ship and Daniel out of the Ori warship. As Daniel beams out, he manages to grab Vala and take her with him, but leaves Adria behind. | ||||||

Questing for the Sangraal, the team ends up in a mess of trouble when they are struck with a sleeping sickness on Vagonbrei (aka Verus Gen Bree), one of the three planets that the weapon is supposed to be on. Meanwhile, Landry must decide whether or not Vala can be trusted to remain at the SGC as a possible future member of SG-1, but it might not be up to him when the IOA steps in. In the end, Teal'c discovers a lizard (a chuckwalla) immune to the parasite causing the sickness and a cure is reverse engineered from it.

As Dr. Rodney McKay (David Hewlett), Chief Science Officer of the Expedition assists Sam and Mitchell in their elaborate plan to "jump" a wormhole by sending a bomb directly into the Supergate using the Odyssey. Daniel, Vala and Dr. Elizabeth Weir, the head of the Expedition, search the city's databases for information, eventually confronting the Ancient known as Morgan Le Fey. She shows them the address of the two planets they must search but when she tries to tell them something important, she is pulled away by the other Ancients. At the same time, the Odyssey succeeds in its mission, destroying both a Wraith Hive Ship and an Ori warship, in the SGC's greatest victory to date against the Ori. | ||||||

When SG-1 discovers a village tempted by Origin without any threats of destruction, they're in for a huge shock when they find out that their own teammate, Daniel Jackson, has been turned into a Prior of the Ori. The team captures Daniel who reveals that he and Merlin have been plotting the destruction of the Ori and need their help to finish the job. The team and O'Neill are skeptical as Daniel's plan calls for reopening the Supergate which would let through more Ori ships, but decide to do the plan themselves while Daniel is put into stasis. Frustrated, Daniel breaks free, hijacks the Odyssey and kidnaps O'Neill. Daniel and O'Neill arrive to find that Adria and her forces have captured SG-1, but Daniel is able to overpower Adria. With Daniel in command of the Ori ship, O'Neill shuts down the Supergate and Daniel flies the ship through as Vala finishes and activates Merlin's weapon. At the last moment, O'Neill beams the team off the ship, but Adria is left behind. Due to Merlin's modifications to his body, Daniel reverts to his normal self with Merlin gone as well, but it is unclear if the Ori are dead or not. Also, six new Ori warships come through the reopened Supergate. | ||||||

The Asgard summon SG-1 to tell them that their experiments to halt their genetic degeneration have failed, meaning they are a dying race. Because of this, the Asgard have decided to give "everything [they] have and know" to the Tau'ri. Thor tells Colonel Carter that the people of Earth are the fifth race, the other four being the Ancients, Nox, Furlings, and the Asgard. When the Ori show up, the Asgard destroy Orilla, and themselves with it, so that their technology will not fall into the hands of the Ori. With the new weapons the Asgard equipped the Odyssey with, they are able to destroy an Ori mothership with ease, but come under repeated assault from two more who chase them wherever they go. In a desperate attempt to stop the relentless pursuit, SG-1 and General Landry beam the crew off the ship onto an uninhabited planet and lock the ship in a time-dilation field when they are unable to separate the new upgrades from the hyperdrive. They end up spending around fifty to sixty years trapped on the ship, moments away from death if they ever stop the field. During that time, Landry dies and Daniel and Vala get together. As an old woman, Carter figures out how to reverse time so this never happens, but unless someone stays old, everything will happen the same way. It also requires temporarily allowing the ship to be destroyed to allow an energy blast to power the effect. Due to his greater lifespan, Teal'c volunteers and is able to give Carter what she needs to separate the hyperdrive quickly, and the Odyssey escapes. | ||||||
