Summary: Kind of a mixed bag but still very good TV
Review: This one makes six straight seasons of good Science Fiction televison. While Daniel Jackson is mostly gone now, replaced by Jonas Quinn, the stories generally still manage to achieve a high level of just about everything.
I liked the Osiris and Thor bits, and I thought "The Other Guys" was a bit too silly (it had a few Star Trek joke bits and Enterprises John Billingsley was a guest). The Air Force starship "Prometheus" was ridiculous becasue it would take far too many years to design and build such a massive object(It's only been about 7 years or so since Earth first ran into the Goa'uld, you'd need more time than that just to understand the technology let alone even think of using it)
The best parts of the episode "Descent" were the water scenes in which Carter and O'Neill almost drown in a corridor (that was a specially built set made up to be sunk in a deep pool)and the one in which Jonas must do a little underwater circuit work to save them.
"Frozen" was one of my favorite episodes ;the body of a woman is found frozen in ice in Antarctica not far from the location of the second Stargate found on Earth. She revives during the thawing process and is determined to be from Earth's distant past, probably one of the Ancient races that really did build the Stargate system. Unfortunately she's infected with some virus, alomst kills everyone in the lab. In the end she saves them but dies in the process. O'Neill can't be saved so the Tok'ra take him away to be, grudgingly, temporarily implanted with a symbiote. The next episode "Abyss" was a sequel to this one, and was pretty sloppy in some ways, it did have Daniel Jackson appearing to O'Neill to help him out.
As always you've got O'Neill's humorous/ dumb commentary in each episode, sometimes that guy can seem too stupid for the job.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Continuation of a good show.
Review: Stargate from the begining has been one of my favorite TV shows. Especially as of late. I've given up on Star Trek. This season while better than most shows was just not up to par with the level of previous SGSG1 seasons. I know there were reasons but I could never get past Jonas being Parker Lewis. Anyway it's definately worth picking up. But if you want 5star SciFi check out "Firefly".

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hello, Stargate SG-1, Good-bye Star Trek
Review: Having grown up with the original Star Trek TV series, plus all of the subsequent movies and other Star Trek television series, I must say that the storyline in the Stargate SG-1 episodes puts Star Trek to shame.

Can any Sci-Fi afficionado not be impressed by the originality of the entire Stargate setup, from the effect of seeing a starship come out of hyperspace to the warm feeling one gets when the Asgard (usually represented by Thor) show up and that special music starts playing?

This is probably the only TV series in which I'll purchase every season's DVD boxset.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A negative feel
Review: The weakness of season 6 is not the loss of the Daniel Jackson character, but the negative & dark shadowing of the story lines. The stories & plots tend towards the hopeless and destitute, with very few positive or upbeat endings. Much too much emphasis is put on the "ascension" aspect, to the point of wondering of the show has developed a religious agenda. There are a few good episodes in the group, but the only people who would really need this set are the hard core SG-1 fans, or those who just want the complete set.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Now it all makes sense...
Review: I have always believed that Stargate SG-1 is one of the best things happening on TV, and I see no reason to change my mind now.

There have been rumors going around for a year or so that the final season is near. Now, with the premier of "Stargate Atlantis" on sci-fi the intent of the show's producers is clear - the tablet found at the end of season 6 that speaks of the "lost city of the ancients" and all the ensuing related plotlines in season 7 refer to the lost city of Atlantis, and are thus the spin-off point for "Stargate Atlantis".

Having said that, season 6 is definitely worth watching for its theme development around the deepening mystery of Anubis. Although Daniel Jackson makes several appearances, it is also anti-climactic since I have become fond of Jonas Quinn by this time. In season 6, I think that the character of Sam Carter has been getting a progressively tougher edge since the death of Daniel Jackson, and I'm not sure I like it all that much. I much preferred the softer, more personable Samantha from the previous five seasons. Perhaps this character evolution is all related to a higher design for the series?

The DVDs all come with featurettes and supplementary material and options for the home viewer.

Overall, I give Stargate SG-1, season 6 my usual rating of five stars for continuing to be some of the best TV being produced.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: probably four and a half stars
Review: While this season wasn't as good as the first five, it's still better then seven or eight. Danial's gone for most of the season. Jack has a reduced role, not as much as in seven or eight. Carter and Teal'c are awsome, and Jonas is ok.

I think with Jonas most people love him or hate him. I'm kinda neither. I thought he was ok, but I wasn't sorry to see him go in season seven. I liked the fact that they introduce him in season five. I hate when shows just bring a character from out of nowhere and expect the audience to like him/her. Anyone remember the last two years of the x files?

I think they should've put the first two episodes as one. They're a two part episode. I think it would make things a little easier. I don't like how the have the previously part before part two. I could understand if it had parts of episodes other than the first part, anyways it's just a minor complaint. The two part episode is pretty good, although part one gets a little dull at times. Decent is a great episode. The three episodes with Danial are awsome. The Mayborn episode is good. The episode that takes place on the alpha site dealing with the alliance is one of my favorites. The episode with Nierte is good. Many of the other episodes took a couple of times seeing to get into, but I liked them once I saw them a second time. The worst episodes are probably the two without Jack, the one with the interdimentional creatures and the one where the Prometheus gets stranded on another planet. Neither of these episodes are bad though.

All and all this is a good season of the show. I can see the show's decline in this season, but it really didn't start to hit untill the next season. If you have seasons one through five then definately get this one. It's not as bad as some people would have you believe.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Stargate SG-1 Season 6 Boxed Set
Review: I found that SG-1 just keeps getting better as it goes along. However in Season 6 we do not see Daniel Jackson and although I think Jonas Quinn is a good character, there did seem to be a void left when Daniel departed.

I do like Corin Nemic as Jonas but his character does not have the passion that Daniel did when it came to finding relics, ancient dialects and well just in general.

Overall though, the season is great. Some fantastic acting by the whole cast. I think Stargate is unique in the fact that it has a very strong ensemble cast and none are really weaker than the other.

I really look forward to getting my Season 7 boxed set for Christmas and really cannot wait for Season 8 to wrap up and come out in the boxed set.

Stargate SG-1 lives on!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: The most boring season
Review: If you're a new Stargate fan, my advice is to skip season 6 and go directly to season 7. Catch it on TV if you get the chance, but if you don't, you won't miss much. I watched each season 6 episode through once on TV, and even though I can rewatch every other season over and over again, I have no desire to see season 6 six again. There are a few good episodes in, like Abyss, but far too many dull, pointless ones, like the X-Files rip-off Nightwalkers.

It's the only season I skipped buying the DVDs for. I suggest you do the same.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: The worst season ever!
Review:
Wowwww... a dismal, dark chapter in the Stargate series. Jonas Quinn? Honestly, this is the best they can do to replace Daniel Jackson? Too bad they couldn't be more imaginative with the execution of this character. What a terribly unappealing, wooden, and pale imitation of the original character he was supposed to replace.

I wish these episodes would be sold individually. If I could, I'd pick Abyss (one of the all-time best episodes), The Changeling and Full Circle. The rest I could honestly live without.

This was Stargate at its worst - no question. An abyssmal season, but "Abyss" was worth the price of the set alone - one of the finest hours of Stargate ever.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: ZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzz
Review: That's pretty much it. I fell asleep for most of the episodes.

Without Daniel Jackson, the show fell apart. Boring, bland, plot holes you could drive that ugly spaceship through...yuck.

Save your money!

(It's too bad you can't just order the episodes you want on one DVD. Because with four episodes per disc, you could have Abyss, Changeling, the Maybourne episode and Full Circle (without the last five minutes) and not miss a thing from the end of season five to the beginning of season seven.)
