Rating: Summary: They just keep getting better Review: I have the seaon 1 & 2 boxed sets now and can't wait for 3 through 5 to come out. If you don't have the season 2 boxed set yet, you don't know what you're missing. I especially liked the Tok'ra part 1 & 2. My favorites.
Rating: Summary: Stargate SG-1 Review: Stargate SG-1` is a fine sci-fi series.A take off from the movie Stargate,the series starts where the movie ends.If you liked the movie you'll love the series. I have seasons 1 and 2 in the box set and hope that I won't have to wait until next fall for season 3.
Rating: Summary: Good deal Review: Like many others, I wish there were more extras in this set (there's a lot of room on 5 DVDs that just isn't used). And I would like to catch up with Europe where they are seasons ahead of the US. But for the price, and to have that many episodes in a little box, I can't complain. You get what you pay for.
Rating: Summary: Stargate SG-1 Season 2 Review: Wow! What a great series Sg-1 is! I currently owned season 1 set, and now I have ten discs of Stargate!!! Of course the episodes are great, but in the DVD release some things could have been done better. There are only three featurettes and trailers for each episode, which isn't much for five DVDs (X-Files DVD sets offer documents and behind the scenes stuff). But the look of the box is great. Video quality is very good for the TV-series, though some background noise appears, and the sound is almost outstanding Dolby 5.1! This is very good set, a lack of extras don't spoil it completely.
Rating: Summary: Great series! But.... Review: This is a must have for all you Stargate fans out there. I loved the special effects employed in the series, and the storywriting is superb. I'm always excited about seeing what's in store for SG-1 in each new episode. However, I was very dissapointed that season two leaves us hanging with only part 1 of a 2-part episode on the last DVD. That's a bummer because now I'll have to wait who knows how long for season three to be released on DVD before I get a chance to see part two of that last episode. That's the only reason I gave this series 4 stars instead of 5.
Rating: Summary: probably 4 stars, but I enjoyed it so much, it gets five Review: What a surprising treasure of cool stories! Of course some are a little lame, but I was really surprised at the originality of the show's episodes overall. It was easy to forget that McGuyver is the main character and it's not nearly as cheesy as one would expect. The effects are good, perhaps little too sparse at times. Acting is pretty impressive, though sometimes they take themselves very seriously and go for oscar moments, but it's minimal. After watching the 2'nd season (in a few nights), I purchased the 1'st. It's not as good, but I'm glad to own these, they're definitely keepers.
Rating: Summary: A very happy day for SG-1 fans in the states! Review: Stargate SG-1 is one of the best sci-fi series ever created, perhaps even one of the best TV series *Period*. Yes I know it's a bold statement, but it has merit. Season 2 is where the series really starts to take off, and lay ground work for some of the series key storylines. (Thor's Chariot, The Tok'ra, The Fifth Race, etc.) Argueably one of the best seasons, Season 2 packs a startling number of high quality episodes into one short 22 episode season. Quality: 4 Almost all of the episodes are high quality, must see episodes, and those that are not are at the very least decent. Video: 3 1/2 Picture quality is great, Wide Screen, very little distortion. Sound: 4 Boasting Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround sound, these DVDs sound great. Crisp and life-like, the sound is superb. Packaging: 5 The Box Set comes with a very attractive and useable case, each DVD is seperatly boxed with all of the information you need on the episodes, and more. Special Features: 3 Perhaps the DVD's biggest weakness, is lack of special features. If Special features are what your in it for, this may not be the box set for you. All DVDs come with Promotional trailers, and 3 of 5 DVDs come with a special featurette on a cast member or Producer. Overall: A Solid 4 Lack of Special features keep this Box set from getting a perfect 5, other than that this set is very very good, and I reccomend it to ANY SG-1 fan, new or veteran to the series. I can't wait for season 3!!
Rating: Summary: Great TV, but poor features Review: Look, the show is great. But this is the only DVD I have bought that will not allow me to pause the scene. I would like to be able to look at some of the special effects while paused. THe special documentaries leave a lot to be desired. Oh well...
Rating: Summary: Nice movies, need subtitles Review: These DVD's are great. The only thing they don't have is sufficient extra material. There are only 2 interviews and other little snippits, but that's it. Compared to the European DVD's these are practically bare bones versions. Also, there is no subtitles for English which I miss.
Rating: Summary: True gate fan Review: As this is the second installment in the Stargate SG1 series, I can truely state that I loved it ! I was hooked from disk 1, season 1. The quality of the transfer from film to DVD disk is excellent; a couch potato's dream. I viewed the entire 2nd season in two (2) days and the only reason I didn't view it in 1 day was because had to go to work ! The only problem I have at this point is attempting to contain my anxiety and impatience while waiting for the next installment (season 3). I highly recommend this box set and season 1 to gate fans ! If there is any one, who can tell me when the next season is to be released, please tell me the "star date"!
