Rating: Summary: Can't decide to spend the dough? Read this! Review: The first season Star Gate SG-1 series is probably one of the BEST DVD collections I own. The DVD's are really high tech and extremely well done. You will think the same. They offer great special features, super quality, great layout and superb design. If you are wondering if you should spend the bones for the collection, IT IS TOTALLY WORTH IT!! I missed most of the first season, so it was a real treat watching them one by one each night. There are about 8 episodes on each disc, along with the initial 2-hour season premier. THIS IS A MUST FOR ANY SCI-FI LOVER and will be well worth the price you paid. Once you get the set it will leave you asking only one question: WHEN IS THE SECOND SEASON COLLECTION COMING OUT!? The cliff hanger from the first season is intense and you will be craving MORE!
Rating: Summary: SG-1 is cool... MGM shafts fans... Review: I am enormously disappointed in Season One, Stargate SG-1. I became a fan of Stargate during the 4th season. The main reason... the ONLY reason... why I am disappointed is that the last episode on the last disk is a "TO BE CONTINUED" episode. They did not include the episode in the Box set. 3 Hours of TBC'ed on the last disk not to get the end? For $... I expected to see the last episode of Season one. Season one never airs, and season two is not out yet on DVD. Very disappointed about that.. What's even worse... I NOW I have to get Season 2. .... At least the Saprano's Box Set includes the last episode.
Rating: Summary: Stargate SG-1 Season One DVDs Review: This collection is awesome! TV-Series continues the great story from original movie with great cast (Richard Dean Anderson, Michael Shanks, Amanda Tapping, Christopher Judge, Don S. Davis) and this DVD-set was more than well worth of it. Picture is very good and Dolby Digital sound fantastic! I hope that they release Season Two Set before Christmas...
Rating: Summary: The only way to watch TV is on DVD Review: Not being a suscriber of Showtime, I've had to deal with absurd syndication scheduling (4 p.m on Saturday on week then 3 p.m. on Sunday the next.) to see this series. Before getting this DVD set, I hadn't a clue which episodes I'd seen or if I'd seen in the correct order. As it turns out, even as a current big fan, I hadn't seen at last 60% of the first season. So it was a true delight to watch them all in rapid successes, with perfect picture and sound, no commercials, and the widescreen format. I'm chopping at the bit waiting for the subsequent seasons to arrive on DVD. Besides the quality and convenience of the DVD set, this TV series is actually more like watching one-long 20 hour movie. I couldn't wait for the next episode and then was kind of sad when I reach the last disk. In the spirit of Star Trek, our intrepid group of Stargate explorers go, in our time, where no one has gone before. They truly bring great depth and meaning to their adventures and touch on contemporary subjects, deal with real personal issues and emotions, and have a wild-time getting there.
Rating: Summary: One of the best shows ever Review: Stargate Sg-1 is the epitome of great television and Season 1 started it off spectacularly. It is rare to see a tv show produce such well developed characters and plot lines in it's first season. And the show gets only better. If you like Sc-fi you will love SG-1. If you are not a huge Sci-fi fan... you will still like this show as the foundation is reality and drama, set in a plausible modern day scientific setting. My only issue is that the last episode is a cliff hanger. When is Season 2 coming out? I can't wait to own it too.
Rating: Summary: The best sci-fi series currently airing Review: SG-1 would have to be my favourite show on at the moment, so I was ecstatic to have the chance to buy the entire first season on DVD, as in Australia and the UK they only released a "best-of" DVD of season 1 and have continued with all episodes from there. If you are from outside the US or Canada you will have to get your player modified however, but it is worth it! The episodes are presented in widescreen format and Dolby Surround sound. In some scenes there is noticable grain, however I didn't find it too distracting; acceptable for a TV series. The show has a freshness that other sci-fi series seem to lack lately, although I still enjoy them too. I think what makes this work so well is the characters - the cast and writers have done a great job making them "real" in an "unreal" setting. Of course the stories and effects hold their own, making the whole show very enjoyable. Bring on Season 2 box-set!!
Rating: Summary: Great show, fantastic boxset Review: Having always been a fan of Star Wars and Star Trek I have tried to follow many of the newer shows that have come around. All of the new Star Trek shows have not been able to really draw me in. Babylon 5 was excellent, probably the best new show in many years until Stargate SG-1 came around. I was a bit concerned that it might get a bit dull considering the main premise here is seemingly always the same. Travel through the StarGate to another world and get into a whole heap of trouble. Then again, isn't that the whole point of Star Trek as well. Another distant planet another seeming hopeless scenario. It is a good formula that keeps you coming back. There is much more to this series though than weekly travels. I just watched the Hathor episode and there is really no travel through the stargate until the very end. The story takes place in the main moutain facility. They have a decent ammount of material that takes place here on earth. The main change here is that they have discovered that the stargate is not linked to a single destination. There is a network of stargates through out the universe. The more Chevrons that are utilized the farther from earth they go. There are 9 total selections available on the stargate and they typically only use 7. I have heard they have used 8 a couple of times to actually go to another galaxy. My theory is that the 9th chevon will actually cause a jump to another dimension. Just my theory mind you. All in all a great series that I am having a great time watching. Sadly I just got turned on to this show and I have a lot of catching up to do, but if you like the movie, you will like the show. Pretty much as simple as that.
Rating: Summary: If I died, I would take my Stargate-SG1 DVD set with me. Review: This is the greatest show on earth, I love my season one set, and would pay 800 bucks just for season 2. If anyone knows when they plan on releasing it let me know, please. For all you science fiction fans or just regular tv viewers or people who don't watch tv, get this DVD set anyway cause you won't be able to stop watching them. I still do after the 100th time.
Rating: Summary: STARGATE RULES Review: Stargate, an atificial wormhole bending time and space. You would think this wouldn't sell. But MGM have marketed it so well and you cannot give anything but praise to them. Episodes like "Children Of The Gods" and "The Broca Divide" show how well the cast works together. From the very beginning you knew they would work well. Richard Dean Anderson has an excellent cast in Micheal Shanks, Amanda Tapping and Christopher Judge. Comparisons with the X-Files are justifiable (ignoring the fact three of the cast have already made guest appearances there)
Rating: Summary: Great Boxed Set For A Great Series Review: I've been waiting for these series to be released as a collectors DVD. At last my dream have come true. I have ordered them from Amazon.com and I really enjoy watching the series no matter how many times I watch them. ...
