Summary: Stargate = Best...SciFi...Ever
Review: Even though I'm a life-long fan of all things Sci-Fi, I was skeptical of Stargate at first. After all, the movie was only so-so to begin with. When the series came to Showtime it was no big deal to me because I did not get Showtime and, again, the movie was no big deal. When the series moved to the Sci-fi channel I was even more skeptical. After all, I've yet to see any 'original' programming on the Sci-Fi channel that wasn't complete garbage. However, I started tuning in on and on-again, off-again basis and began to realize, "Hey - this is good stuff." So I started watching it regularly in no time at all I was hooked.Stargate is as good as sci-fi gets and better by far than most any other sci-fi offering out there. The special effects and writing are better than anything Star Trek and Star Wars have come up with since 1982. (Star Trek would sell it's soul to be Stargate and Star Wars, completely lacking in soul, just can't compete.) The writing is very, very good and ranges from extreme hard-core sci-fi to witty and light-hearted fare. And when the action kicks into overdrive - oh baby, just hang on and ride it out. Not even Miami Vice can match Stargate's gunplay. The first season does a good job of setting the storyline and by the time you reach the first season finale you'll see why Stargate fans are so vociferous in their defense of this show. The last show of Season 1 and the first show of season 2 are better by far than ST:TNG's Best of Both Worlds. Whadday waiting for - order this already.

Summary: Glad to own it!
Review: With the death of the X-Files, this has become my favorite series. The pilot does a good job tying into the movie though they changed the appearance of the villains for the better in my opinion. They kept the two main chars from the planet so it was a small surprise to see them! It is a great series that has fresh new ideas! Finally, the main characters work well together.

Summary: Must See DVD's
Review: Great set of DVD's. They did of great job of putting together all the material into an attactive and consistant presentation. I have a 300 DVD changer with a visual contents catalog. This is one of the few DVD's that provide the catalog data for my player so I dont have to enter it manually. Always a plus. The only thing I dont like is the fact that the have the TV intro attached to the front of each episode. They should have only put on the first in my opinion. Overall I am very pleased with this DVD set.

Summary: Mediocre Sci Fi Show
Review: I entered the realm of SG1 after being spoiled by the Farscape universe. I understand that SG1 is very popular (and I will try to give it a second chance) but the acting, the sets and the writing are horrendous. The show lacks intelligence and depth. The SG1 universe has great potential but this season makes me miserable as I watch the poor acting in this show. There is no chemistry between the actors. The closest analogy I can think of would be a simple comic book turned into a TV show. It is difficult for me to understand that the Sci-Fi channel keeps producing this junk while other more creative and deserving Sci-Fi shows (read Farscape) are terminated. The quality of SG1 (the first season) is truly mediocre (acting, writing, sets! Perhaps the other seasons are stellar (after all - the show is popular) but this first one certainly did not make me want to go there.

Summary: Sci-fi the way you always wanted it
Review: I think most people are like me when it comes to sci-fi TV. We've all been frustrated when Captain Janeway picks up a piece of alien technology in one episode but completely forgets that it exists by the next. We get seriously ticked when an old alien nemesis suddenly becomes best buddies with our heroes. And we can't stand to see the same over-used plot rehashed once again without at least an attempt to "freshen it up a bit." So when Stargate: SG-1 was first introduced, I approached it with caution. After all, I had liked the movie (liked, mind you, not loved), but I couldn't see how anyone would be able to make it into an ongoing series. But by the end of the pilot episode -- well, let's just say I was one slack-jawed, remote control dropping sci-fi monkey. I think the big secret is the fact that they have broken all of the old sci-fi rules. This series does what I've always wished every other series would do. For example, let's just take a look at alien weaponry, shall we? In a series like "Star Trek:Voyager," for example, the crew might find just the ticket for their attacking-alien woes when they run across some piece of alien weaponry. Fine and dandy -- but before the end of the season they'll run across a half dozen other threats where that same weapon would do wonders and no one will even think to mention it. Come on! At least give me Chakotay scratching his head and saying, "That alien doo-hickey we used to defeat the Borg would sure come in handy right about now." In SG-1, there are at least half a dozen alien toys that get used in nearly every episode. The ever popular Zat gun, for example, was found somewhere along the way and, though hastily explained, became a mainstay of the show. Nifty. And not just for one episode or one season, but for the full run of the show! And if the SG-1 team makes a new friend, count on seeing them again down the road. That's just the kind of universe they live in. The big difference between the series and the film is the fact that we get to know the characters. We get to like them. I mean, who could like the hard-as-stone O'Neil played by Kurt Russell better than the wise-cracking, laugh-in-the-face-of-danger O'Neill from the series? Maybe it's just me, but I crack up all the time from some little quip by O'Neil. That's the kind of TV that brings me back every week. Buy this set. Buy the next one. And the next one, and the next one. Buy all of 'em, because they're worth it. I've bought the three sets that are currently available and will definitely buy season 4 when it comes out. They may not be packed with extras, but they are exactly what I've been looking for. This is Sci-fi the way I've always wanted it.

Summary: What Great Sci-Fi Is Made Of.....
Review: When I heard that there was TV show coming out based on the movie Stargate, I was ecstatic. When I found out it was only going to be shown on Showtime (which I didn't have), I was upset. Then I found out that it's main character was McGyver, and I wasn't really excited anymore. I lost touch with it, and four years later, happened to catch an episode on the Sci-Fi channel. I was bummed that I hadn't seen any of the episodes. Since then, I've become a huge fan. I rented the pilot episode, and loved it. There is action, humor, and great special effects. This, the first season was released, as I said, for Showtime. It was then purchased by Sci-Fi, and that's where it's been ever since. It has drawn a huge fanbase, large enough to merit GateCon, an annual convention similar to those the Star Trek fans know. The first season expands on many of the themes that were touched on in the film. The Goa'uld (not mentioned by name in the film) are the parasites that are mentioned. During this season, we see the true nature of these parasites. We are also introduced to countless peoples from planets visited by the team, which is now called SG-1. If you liked the movie, you'll love the series. Even if you didn't like the film, you might like SG-1, as I've heard many people say. Richard Dean Anderson (McGyver) plays the role that was played by Kurt Russell in the movie. Russell's very stoic, very angry Jack O'Neill is a stark contrast to the one played by Anderson. The reasons for this dramatic change are explained in the pilot episode. There are a lot of episodes that I'd have to say are excellent, but my personal favorite is "Cold Lazarus". This episode delves into the subject of O'Neill's young son, who was tragically killed with O'Neill's gun several months before the events in the film take place. Again, all the episodes are good, some better than others. Squeeze some space on the DVD rack between Red Planet and Star Trek for this one! It's 5 disks, so it'll take up some space!
