Summary: This is kinda bias, but anyway.....
Review: I'm a huge Stargate fan, more than any sane person should be. I know episode names and events by heard and I can almost recite all 5 Seasons in order. Sad huh?

Anyway, I got hold of this Boxed Set a while back (during Exams actually, a good idea... no study!) as it was the only way to get the Season 1 eps on DVD (I had most of Season 2, but wanted Season 1).

Anyway, these DVD's are excellent. A few of the eps are out of order (usually by one though ie. Ep 11 is really Ep 10 and so on) and there are a few that are totally out of order (Ep 12 is NOT The Nox, The Nox is Ep 7 in the series).

The quality is amazing, WIDE SCREEN RULES and the sound is great. Plus its every Ep, including the excellent Pilot.

I await the Season 3 box (as I've already got all of S2 separately).

BYE

Summary: Here's hoping that MGM releases Seasons 2-4 soon.
Review: Well, I just received this boxed set a couple days priot to this writing and all I can say is that Stargate SG-1 is indeed a great amount of fun. Some episodes are exciting and action packed like the Pilot episode and some are emotional like the Singularity in which Carter becomes attached to a little girl who has a Ga'ould implanted nuclear bomb in her chest.

The only negatives to this set is that due to the series supposedly subpar cameras, the dark scenes especially like in the briefing and control rooms are very grainy. Other than that, most images are clear. Some reviews speak of video and audio glitches, I have watched all but the last disc and I have yet to discover any. Some speak of a problem with the sound in the Nox episode, well in fact, the sound seemed to get better in that episode. You do get a few playback pauses in certain episodes where your player switches layers. But other than that, the set plays flawlessly.

My father and I have been into and out of this series every since it started. While I thought that I had missed most of the 1st season, I discovered that I had actually seen many of these episodes and actually lost track of the series during the second and third seasons. So I'm anxiously awaiting the release of these seasons to DVD. But if you liked the intial Ga'ould incursion then you'll enjoy this season. This season also sets the mood of the series in that it basically says that the Ga'ould displaced people from Earth from many different time periods to other planets across the Stargate network. My father and I thoroughly enjoyed the pilot episode in which it really ties in the '94 movie with the series.

Summary: Complete, but minimal extras
Review: Missed it when it originally aired? Keep missing it in the reruns? This package delivers what it promises: the complete first season in 5 DVD's.

The only problem with it is that there aren't very many extras on the discs. A few interviews or character bios, but that's about it.

Get it if you want the collection or want to see what you missed, but don't get it looking for cool additional material.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Astronomical Joyride.
Review: I never bother writing a review about any Film or TV series, but I think its worth while telling all you "Doubting Thomas's" out there.First I have to tell you I loved the Film. The concept and storyline was original and well scripted,the acting supurb. This is what motivated me to start watching the series.....I was not disapointed.
The Series continues on where the film left off. Col. Jack O'Niel has returned through the stargate and the corridor between the two world is not working anymore, or is it.
A new Enemy appears through the earth Stargate and after a few killings returns to where it came from.The Stargate still works!!
After returning to Abidos they find new addresses to go to which will take a supercomputor 1 month to churn out about 3-4 places they can go. HEY THAT MEANS THEY CAN GO TO A DIFFERENT PLACE EACH WEEK!!...Thus the TV Series.
All Ive done is given you background here. I don't want to spoil anyones fun. Its a Sci-Fi with a difference as it is travelling to other worlds in galaxys far far away,but compounded with Earths History, religions and beliefs. The caracters are real and very entertaining.As Ive watched up to series 4, I can tell you that it only gets better and better.This Box Set. This box set is packed with alot more footage and featuretts!It hold the whole first series on 5 DVDs and by the time you have watched the first disc your hooked.All the effects and story lines take a big leap by disc 3 when all caracters are introduced enough that the story in each episode is the story of each episode. I give this box set 9/10 and tell all you folks in the USA that seris 2,3 and 4 get a 10/10 so start your collection now, dont wait... I garentee you wont regret it. Enjoy.

Summary: When's Season Two?
Review: ...word has it, early 2002. And not a moment too soon.

This is one of the best sci-fi series' on television. The writing is fresh, the acting is great: Why haven't we seen more of Richard Dean Anderson? Forget MacGyver (I actually liked the show, but...), Anderson is at his prime here. He is funny, witty, and even charming when he wants to be. Too bad he was not the original O'Neil. I can't watch the movie now without wondering how Anderson would have changed Kurt Russell's character. Also, Christopher Judge as Teal'c ranks right up there as the perfect actor for a role. He plays Teal'c both with compassion and confusion at being placed on another planet then his own.

Season One is one of my favorite seasons. Episodes like Brief Candle and The First Commandment are great studies into human nature. That is the problem with TV today. There is too little emphasis on the story. Not so with Stargate. This is one of the few sci-fi shows that can pull off an hour with basically ZERO action (Brief Candle) and still be gripping and evocative television.

Buy Season One today, and wait eagerly for Season Two in Spring '02!

Summary: It keeps getting better
Review: Having missed the series on Showtime, I took a chance on the boxed set. I wish I could pick stocks this well! The pilot was okay, but I found as I watched them in series, that the ideas kept getting better with some very interesting premises, e.g. what would you do if you lived your entire life in the course of 100 days. I can't wait for the next season to appear as a boxed set!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Stargate SG-1 is the best show on T.V. today!!!!!!
Review: Alrighty, my opinion is as follows: The Stargate SG-1 series is cutting edge technology and very mind boggling. It continuously amazes me the alien characters and races they come up with! Let's not talk about Apophis (My Favorite character), He gets not credit whatsoever and he is the best actor in my opinion. Stargate would not be Stargate without Apophis!!!!! This is why they cannot get rid of him, he always finds his way back to the show somehow. We need a protagonist and Antagonist and Apophis is it Baby!!!!!!! Teal'c Rocks also, Jaffa Cre!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Absolutely Excellent!
Review: This set is first rate. I'd give it 10 stars if I could. The set is beautifully packaged. The individual boxes are hard plastic (unlike those cheap paper dvd covers a lot of movies come with!) and the box case is heavy duty board. The DVD's themselves, contrary to some previous reviews, are first rate transfers. I never understand people who say that the DVD's aren't that big of a differance from tapes or TV...Do they have snow in their eyes to begin with? These DVD's are crystal clear and perfect.

I can't say about the sound, as I don't have a hifi system hooked up to my TV/DVD just yet, but on a regular TV sound system, the quality is excellent.

I don't have a lot of money to spend, so when I do spend it, I expect something to be worth it. This set was worth every last red cent. Don't hesitate to get it, if you are a fan of the series.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Just One Word....
