Stargate SG-1: Children of the Gods treats its concept seriously enough to follow it all the way through.

A new team is assembled, including some old members, and they go in search of the missing soldier in order to find out how Ra could still be alive. Meanwhile, the alien Goa'uld kidnap Sha're and Skaara, implanting them with symbiotes and making them Goa'uld hosts. Richard Dean Anderson and Michael Shanks lead a cast that makes the ambitious moments land. Stargate SG-1: Children of the Gods came out in 2009.
