Summary: Still loving it!
Review: I received both Season one and two for my birthday. I was interested in the series but had not followed it. Now I am hooked!

There are some small problems such as a little grainyness or some pauses in some of the stories but not enough to really distract.

Storylines are usually good. Not always predictable.

I watched both sets whenever I had free time.

I have already ordered season 3 as I could not wait for it to be a gift....

Summary: Hard to find non-English languages
Review: This is not really about the box, since I simply rate it great. The problem is that if I find I title, I would like also to see immediately if there is also a version for my own language (Italian). It is very hard in Amazon to find the right language for DVDs. It looks like language is a secondary option. It is not! Amazon should add a list of all the vailable language version of each title.

Summary: Great series - Always something new
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: Sci-Fi fans will like
Review: Season Two delves deeper into the character of each player and furthers the story of the battle against the Goa'uld. The overall story arc is advanced, as well. While still skimpy on "special" features, I was less interested in these than in the fact that this series is available on DVD. And it is presented in the "letterbox" format, or mor correctly, the now increasingy popular (in preparation for HDTV dimensions) 16x9 aspect ratio. So, yes, there are black "bars" at the top and bottom of the screen. They "disappear" as you watch the shows and are not an issue with me. I like letterboxing. The images are crisp and clean to my eye. A more picky person will probably find flaws in the transfer and digitizing of the images, but they are hard to satisfy to begin with. The sound is good, too (though I do not have 5.1 surround to test that feature). If you have Season One, the layout here will be familiar as they have remained consistent in presentation menu screens to access the episodes. If you like the series, support it and buy these to let them know they are doing something right.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I love this show
Review: I love sci-fi that doesn't take itself too seriously. This is exactly one of those shows. Stargate pokes fun at itself while not having totally ludicris story lines.

I plan on purchasing the entire series on DVD so I can watch it any time I need a pick-me-up. I highly recommend it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Second Season!!!
Review: This second season gives the viewer more insight into the SGC, and the characters as well. We get to see more of some of the races that were introduced in the first season, such as the Nox, and the Asgard, and even the Tok'ra, the latter two races being sworn enemies of the evil Goa'uld, although they fight them in different ways. The Tok'ra do their thing in secret while the Asgard fight openly in huge battleships, which by the way are really COOL to look at.

My personal favorite episodes of the season are Thor's Chariot and The Fifth Race, both epsisodes dealing with the Asgard. I like the Asgard because we learned that the aliens picked up at Roswell NM in the 40's were Asgard. Cool, huh?

This season could be a stand-alone, meaning, even if you don't own any of the other season dvds, you could pick this one up and understand what's going on, and enjoy the new material. Many of the episodes have moral messages. In one episode in particular, the message is 'Don't judge a book by it's cover', just as an example.

I enjoy TV that has a message. It makes me feel like the time I've spent in front of the tube has gotten me something tangible for my time.

Summary: It doesn't get much better than this.
Review: I saw Stargate the movie and wasn't very impressed, but from the first time I saw an episode of SG-1, I was hooked. Stargate SG-1 is one of the greatest Sci-Fi TV series of all time. In my book the only thing that could beat it is Star Trek TNG. And this DVD series is much more affordable than it's Star Trek counterpart.
I was so excited when I found out they had the first two seasons of this on DVD. I went out and bought them immediately. All the tiny little nitpicks I had about the Season 1 set were solved in this one. Season 2 is a great season and the DVD set reflects that. I love the extras. The featurettes are all really interesting, although a couple more wouldn't have hurt, and we're still waiting for a Jack O'Neil one. I also think an audio commentary track on these episodes would be really great, but I can understand that that would be a huge undertaking. These DVDs are terrific and I'm counting the days till Season 3.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great fun - even if it is your own dirty secret
Review: Okay, basic premise: we find an alien space portal that lets us dial up a gateway to travel to planets all around the galaxy. Once you're over that hump, it's pretty simple. As Gene Roddenberry once commented, Star Trek was a western TV set in outer space. The same can be said of Stargate SG-1.

This series does better than much of the Star Trek franchise in considering the ethics and morality of our decisions. Plot lines raised in one episode may come back unexpectedly in others. Kevin Dean Anderson manages to suffuse his character with less of a MacGyver - but more of the Joe Everyman quality that makes him appealing. The writers clearly love writing their characters, and there are very few two-dimensional characters.

Stargate may wind up as much a circus side show as Trekkers in the future. But for now, this is an enjoyable romp with some hidden, if not too subtle, messages on morality and fairness.

Still, the series does feature a fair amount of violence and several series characters have been killed off, only to rise from the dead. It's not a good choice for the small kids - but for us a big kids, this is definitely a great choice for late night and big bowl of popcorn.
