Rating: Summary: My favorite show. True and great scifi. Review: This series takes off after the movie, Stargate. Great special effects and stories. If you are a scifi fan, this series is a MUST. Richard Dean Anderson takes the role of the Kurt Russell character, and plays it in a superb manner. Just the right "bad attitude". The James Spader character is also here (I forget the actors name, sorry). Added are Samantha Carter (A beautiful Amanda Tapping), sort of a "science officer", and a character who is one of the "soldiers" of the enemy, with the wolfs head armor type, who is now allied with the humans of Earth. This makes a team of four...."SG-1". There are other SG team. They explore the universe and battle to defend Earth and other planets. I have been in scifi since 1960. This series is superb! It is on the SCIFI channel now with new episodes. Highly recommended.
Rating: Summary: Great show and DVD, but keep the remote handy for sound Review: The show is very good and the DVD picture quality is too. You might want to not send the sound through your surround sound/5.1 system though if it's easy not to. I go from about level 38 for convesations to 18 for guns and explosions. Otherwise, it's either to quite to hear what they are saying or to loud during action. Also the MGM lion roars REAL loud when you put in the disk. Thought it was just something wrong in my sound system, but a friend's wife mentioned it somewhere and got a bunch of replies saying they thought it was just them too. Both Season One and Season Two are like this. Still going to get the other seasons when they come out though.
Rating: Summary: Stargate SG-1 Season 2 Boxed set Review: I absolutely loved it. I can't wait for Season 3
Rating: Summary: Is the best yet to come? Review: In my opinion the Stargate SG-1 series is in a class of its own with very few flaws. I have Seasons 1 and 2 and I am curiously waiting for season 3. I am one that puts himself in a movie when it's worth it and let me tell you I had a few wet towels. I am glad to see Dean instead of Kurt as lead roll because of the humor differances between the two actors. I too would like to see a movie or two come out of this in the future but please no spinoffs unless they are as good or better. This is one series worth seeing over and over and you will pick you favorates as I had. You will enjoy !!!!
Rating: Summary: Wonderful SF entertainment Review: Too cheap to pay for Showtime during it's original run, and unimpressed with the Stargate motion picture, "Stargate SG-1" didn't make it on my radar until the SF Channel started to broadcast reruns. What a pleasant surprise this series turned out to be. In spirit Stargate SG-1 reminds me powerfully of the original Star Trek, but set firmly in the late 1990s. Mankind is brash, flawed and out there exploring the universe, often before it's really ready.Noteworthy is the series creators' careful attention to detail and continuity. Important ramifications from past episodes are not simply forgotten about, but are revisted in future episodes. Most importantly, this show has a great cast. Our four intrepid explorers of SG-1 have wonderful on-screen chemistry, and the support personnel back on Earth feel much like NASA mission control. Then there's the starring piece of hardware, the Stargate itself, as awesomely cool as any spaceship. If I had to level a criticism, it's that most of the plots are less than original and will be familiar to most SF fans. I also sometimes wish that the writers wouldn't pull their punches (there are times when I wish they'd gone for the throat like "Babylon 5" sometimes did). But these are fairly minor quibbles. This is simply wonderful SF entertainment. As for the DVD set, some fans who've already seen all the episodes may be disappointed by the lack of special features.
Rating: Summary: Other Languages Review: I'm a SG1 Fan since i saw the serie in the Satellite Tv System, It's really incredible this original idea which is based; i bought Season 1 for Zone1, and i've been waiting for a good time the Season 2 Release, but i felt really angry when i saw thar no other languages were included, (NOT EVEN THE SUBTITLES), i mean, come on, the Spanish is the second language speaked in the world after the english, isn't it market enought to make the invessment? there is plenity of people i know whom is in the same situation and many of them don't speak english, and all of them (including me) haven't buy the Season 2 until is released in spanish. I really hope thah MGM fix this situation as soon as possible.
Rating: Summary: A must for any Sci-fi fan!! Review: Excellent Sci-fi and one of the best series on TV since Classic Star Trek. Very original concept that works and works well. You have great writing, superb acting and top notch special effects. But my favorite thing about Stargate SG-1 is the camaraderie between the characters. Not just with the SG-1 team but with lesser characters too. One of my favorites is when Col. Jack O'Neill talks to Thor. You feel the connection between them even though in the back of your mind you know it's just Richard Dean Anderson talking to a puppet. If I had to pick a flaw in the DVD collection, it would be that they are only up to season 2 when the series is starting season 7. C'mon I need more SG-1!
Rating: Summary: The best show on TV Review: I love this show. I started watching it about a year ago. A friend of mine had season one on DVD and popped it in. I've been hooked ever since. I bought season one and as soon as I found out about season two I had it ordered. I can't express the amount of irritation I feel when I think how much longer we have to wait for season three while the Brits are getting it at the end of this month. For all those 'gaters who don't know, there are unconfirmed rumors that season three will be hitting region one in June 2003, with season four to possibly follow in September 2003. I hope this is true. And though I am in no way affiliated with the site.
Rating: Summary: Seasons 3 & 4 Info Review: I've bought seasons 1 & 2 and thing they are great. I'm waiting for seasons 3 & 4 to be released in 2003. For those of you who want to know when 3 & 4 will be released, MGM says that season 3 will be released in June and 4 in October!
Rating: Summary: I just love this show. Review: I would just like to say that I love Stargate and I also can't wait for the rest to be released. I would also like to add that the SciFi Channel is running all of the episodes in order every Monday night. I am at least greatful for that, so that I can follow the show.
