Summary: Better and better...
Review: The Stargate SG-1 DVD sets just keep getting better. The "Video Diaries" included in this set are priceless for fans, as are the audio commentaries (which have improved in content and delivery since they first showed up on the Season 4 set), especially the commentary for the "spoof" episode Wormhole X-Treme, which clues viewers in to many of that episode's in-jokes. The set also includes a gallery of Season 5 stills and the featurettes "Inside the Tomb" and "Dr. Daniel Jackson - A Tribute."

Season 5 definitely offers the most extras of any SG-1 box set so far; if you bought the first four, you're definitely going to want this one on your shelf.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good sci-fi, moderate Stargate SG-1
Review: While there were several gems, I find most of this season lacking the flair and style seen in previous seasons. The cast seems rather tired in this season, almost defeated. They go through the paces, but seem to be grudgingly doing so. Episodes such as "48 Hours" and "Failsafe" only served to humiliate the cast and writers who, up to this season, seemed to pride themselves on original storylines.

Daniel's departure is handled adequately for his character in terms of how he is retired, but the story feels quite too sudden and contrived. His storyline is almost entirely forgotten by the next episode, especially in terms of the civilization he saved.

The remaining story lines depend too heavily on previous stories from as far back as season one. It was rumored that this would be the last season of the show, and the writers wanted to tie up the loose ends of the series. Fortunately (or unfortunately), the show wasn't canceled, leaving the cast with few allies or enemies. Because of this, the season finale feels weak and ultimately ends up being the worst yet.

Collectors should purchase this item to complete their set. Newcomers to the show may feel best skipping this season.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Season of Huge Changes
Review: Wow! This Stargate Season really got to me. There are very few series that can risk so many changes (especially in one season) and keep the track of things without disappointments.

This season sees the departure of a mayor character, the death (final death... mmm, 99.9% sure...) of the mayor big baddie of previous seasons, the annihilation of a powerful ally, politics and shades of grey, the rising of the new big bad nemesis of the series (in a very intelligent way), a lot of character development, conclusions to several story arcs of the past, interesting revelations and more...

Perhaps what I most like about this season are the grate scripts (Brad Wright, Robert C. Cooper, Joseph Mallozzi and Paul Mullie were awesome that year). After the grate cliff-hanger of Season 4, "Enemies" came to be one of the best season premieres I have ever had the pleasure to watch.

The directing style improved greatly (more visual language, more depth in the approach and very good storytelling). Episodes like "The Tomb" (grate suspense), "Threshold" (one of Tealc's best), "Between Two Fires", the awesome, huge and perhaps best two parter of the series "Summit" and "Last Stand", and the amazing Season Finalie "Revelations" (script, directing, acting... everything at its best) which was the first season finalie of the series with no cliff-hanger, make of this season one of Sci-Fi and Television's best.

I loved Anna-Louise Plowman (Osiris) in "Revelations", the introduction of Anubis, the way the System Lords were finally approached as a group, and the intelligent twists the season gave to the series.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Makes me PROUD to be an Air Force vet!!!!
Review: Y'know, this show is probably the most positive view of the Air Force that you will ever see in entertainment. Military personnel are treated as what they are in real life: real people with faults and weaknesses, but with a lot of professionalism, skill and determination to do the best job they can and do the right thing at the same time.

Ironic to find this in a sci-fi show of all places, but I have to thank the producers for the care they put into the characters! Not that there's really a Stargate, a Prometheus or even a Samantha Carter, who can solve any threat with five minutes to do calculations in her head, but at least these Air Force men and women aren't cynical hardcases out to rape and pillage the worlds across the stargate for the "military industrial machine". That's what you would get from MOST of Hollywood if they were doing this show.
