Summary: Why did MGM wait?
Review: .....so long to release the 2nd season box set?

Fact: Rabid region 1 SG-1 junkies have been scratching their arms in anticipation for close to 2 years. The first 4 seasons of this Sci-Fi classic are a must for any DVD library.

From "Serpents Lair" to "Out of Mind" this collection contains all you need to become SG 1 savvy. You find the introduction of the Asgard, aka the "cool little gray guys" and the "anti- Goa'uld" Tok'ra. We meet Teal'c's family and Sam's father. My favorite episodes happen to play with time. "A Matter of Time" and "1969" are excellent.

If you are completely lost among the varied plot points of the latest season. This collection should answer most questions.

If not. Well...

I guess we'll all have to wait for MGM to release Season 3

Summary: I LOOOOVE SG-1
Review: I can not WAIT for this box set to be released. I have the first season boxed set and I LOVE it. Richard Dean Anderson is SOOOOO funny; Teal'C is the perfect opposite to Col. O'Neill's goofiness. I can not wait for the 3rd season boxed set to be released; I know I am jumping the gun but hey no one said I was ever patient. Ya Sure you betcha!

Summary: Finally, we get some answers!
Review: Stargate SG-1 has been among the highest rated and most viewed sci-fi shows on televison. On Showtime, on Sci-fi, or on some local channel like FOX, millions of viewers have tuned in each week to follow the adventures of sci-fi greatest heros. They're not great because they have advanced technology or they're futuristic. They're great, because they are ordinary and they exist now, and deal with today's problems. This is a convention that sci-fi fans have not seen properly utilized in a long time. In Stargate SG-1, the environments, the conflicts, are as new and exciting to the characters as they are to the audience. This fact, combined with great story telling, numerous extensive story arcs, and an awesome cast, provides for a powerful and original series.

However, for people like me, who were unfortunate enough to get hooked on the series pretty late after the premier date (try a season and a half too late) many questions remain unanswered, especially on the several-episode-long story arcs. That's why owning these early seasons is so great. In a show where one episode like 'The Fifth Race' can make a huge difference in the rest of the series, being able to go back on my own time and see any missed episodes is the greatest thing since sliced bread and recording VCRs.

Anyway, Season One may have introduced the characters, but Season Two is where most of the extended plot lines begin, such as the Tocrah. If you're like me and you missed a few, okay a lot, of the old episodes, this DVD pack is the ultimate place to catch up. And if you've never seen an episode, well then, I say buy the packs, sit back and enjoy the ride. I promise you won't regret it.

Summary: Thank You God!
Review: All I have been wishing for is the 2nd Season Boxed set of Stargate SG-1. This series is one of the best SCI-FI's series ever made.

The 2nd season is much better than the 1st.

Now I have to start waiting for the 3rd season to come on on DVD. Hopefully it will come much quicker than the 2nd.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Still the Best Written SF show on TV
Review: Stargate SG-1 remains the best written SF show on television today, bar none. It has a wit, intelligence, consistency, and style all it's own. Season 2 picked up right where Season 1 left off, and continued to expand the universe of SG1. SF Fans, I urge you to view this series.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Engrossing viewing
Review: We have watched these in their individual releases, the show is equally engaging as Star Trek and the X-files once you capture the story ines and the very cohesive cast. I would have to say it is the best casting of a show I have ever seen.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: MGM Doesn't know how to use the DVD media.
Review: I imported the DVDs from England about a year ago. Why are they only just becoming available on this side of the pond now?
Regretfully the DVDs are just copies of the shows. Granted GREAT COPIES: Clear, powerful sound; beautiful, sharp colors and focus.
And a couple of short inteviews witrh SG-1. W¯W!
MGM could have done so much more with these multimedia rich stories. And it only took them 6 years to bring to market!
Still, I'll buy every one, but I'll never stop bitching.

Summary: Stargate finds its legs with Season 2...
Review: Season 1 of Stargate was their "tryouts". They did well in a lot of places, slipped up a little, but eventually were allowed on the team.

Season 2 is where Stargate finds its legs and really begins to get interesting. I live in Australia, and have had all of Season 2 since last year, so I can review this...

The Serpent's Lair - Very cool episode, great way to start a season.

In the Line of Duty - BIG episode. Sets up many future events.

Prisoners - Interesting episode with consequences that reach into Season 3.

The Gamekeeper - Before there was The Matrix, there was The Gamekeepers World, although this one is more traumatizing!

Need - Michael Shanks, who plays Daniel Jackson, really shines in this one. That guy can act!

Thor's Chariot - Follow up to Season 1's "Thor's Hammer" and the introduction of the true Asgard, a very important race. Excellent ep too.

Message in a Bottle - Maybe not the greatest ep in the world, but has a great suspenceful begining.

Family - More with Teal'c family.

Secrets - Another big ep with far reaching consequences, even in Season 5 & 6!

Bane - More Colonel Mayborne antics!

The Tok'ra Part 1, The Tok'ra Part 2 - Important, if not terribly interesting eps.

Spirits - Quite a funny ep. Sees Captain Carter in command for the first time.

Touchstone - More Colonel Mayborne antics!

A Matter of Time - Very cool ep, introduces series semi-regular Major Paul Davis, played by Colin Cunningham

The Fifth Race - Another biggie as far as plot arcs go

Serpent's Song - The death of a great adversary!

Holiday - Funny ep. Quite nice with Shank's acting again coming out on top, and not just as Daniel Jackson this time!

One False Step - Interesting plot, great Jack/Daniel interaction

Show and Tell - Although the writers haven't latched onto this plot thread since, it's a great set up and a great episode

1969 - Time Travelling SG-1!!

Out of Mind - You'll never guess who shows up this time around. A great set up for Season 3's "Into the Fire" season opener!

Get this Boxed set, even if it's just to avoid having to buy the DVD's from the UK (which cost almost twice as much).

BYE

Summary: No ifs, ands or buts!
Review: The minute I knew this DVD was coming out, I started putting away for it's purchase. While there are one or two mediocre episodes, what series can say every single episode is gold? The good far, far outweighs the bad here and it's well worth the price. The writing, the acting, everything about this series is top-notch. I can't wait until September!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Season Two is one of the best!
Review: Fans of "Stargate SG-1" will tell you that the show's second season is easily one of the best. In the wake of Apophis' attack on Earth, the show kicked into high-gear and never looked back! Sam's life would be changed forever; Daniel would discover a dark secret about his wife; and SG-1 would meet two of their greatest allies, and see the defeat of one of their greatest enemies.

Season Two includes "The Fifth Race," regarded by many (myself included) as the show's best episode.

MGM has been slow in releasing the series onto Region 1 DVD, but hopefully it won't take another year and a half to see Season Three! The Season One DVD set is outstanding, with top-notch audio and video transfers, and tons of rewatchability. Extra features are slim for Season One, but expect them to become more and more plentiful as the show's DVD releases progress.
