Customer Reviews

Excellent!
I'm not quite sure what all the complaints are about. I received this box set for Christmas and had been quite concerned after reading comments on here about scratched discs and missing episodes. I shouldn't have been. The discs are all in excellent condition, bar one which I can live with - it plays perfectly. I also made a point of loading up each and every disc and checked the episodes off against an episode guide, and they are all present and correct.

It is undoubtedly the enclosed booklet that has caused the confusion as it omits a few episodes from its listing, which isn't very helpful at all. As has been mentioned, these are the original discs repackaged. As a result you'll have to put up with the idiosyncracies of the original releases: odd disc numbering (mainly because volume 1 was a "best of season 1" set, volume 2 was the beginning of season 2 etc - the complete season 1 release didn't happen until later, by which time the horse had bolted). At the end of season 2 we also get two season 1 episodes (Hathor and Thor's Hammer) repeated. This must have been done to "fill up" the dvd, but only occurs this once. It's no big deal. It's no surprise to find that this is also the disc that includes two of the so-called "missing" episodes, 1969 and Out Of Mind. Trust me, they're all here!

Again, I'm not sure about the complaints about the packaging either. I'm not entirely sure how else they were supposed to do it short of giving us a box the size of my living room!

In the end this set has done exactly what I wanted it to do - given me the whole series (excluding the movies) and saved me a hell of a lot of shelf space. I previously owned seasons 1 to 6 individually. This box set takes up about a third of the space that those six managed to use.

Now I can settle back and watch seasons 6 - 10, which I have never seen. Great stuff.

confused
Top quality searies
the first fing that confused me was the disk numbering
disk 1 to disk 5 for season 1
volume 2 to volume 7 for season 2
then volume 8 onwards for the other seasons
what confused me was where was volume 1
thought that was a missing disk with the
episodes "1969" and "Out of mind" (seasons 2 episodes 21 and 22)
(what blackadder from Birmingham heard elsewhere and said in his reveiw
"I've heard elsewhere that certain episodes like '1969' are missing")
these are not missing they are on volume 7 with 2 episodes of
season 1 "Thor's hammer" and "Hathor" they are just not printed
in the booklet
with that out of the way the one thing i don't like is the
way the disks slide in tight cardboard slots which will scratch
the disk hence the reason i've only given 4 stars
now thats all said and done i'm of through the startgate
for a non stop dvd-athon of stargate sg1

Enter the Stargate
Most TV shows spun off from movies are uninvolving and uninteresting ("Blade," anyone?), but such wasn't the case with "Stargate SG-1." Starting as a simple exploration series, the series expanded into a brilliant tangle of politics, aliens, and Earth's spirit and guts -- excellent writing, acting, and a sense of humor about itself and its characters.

The Stargate has been inactive for a year. Then a bunch of Egyptian-styled warriors come through and kidnap an officer. General Hammond (Don S. Davis) pulls Jack O'Neill (Richard Dean Anderson) out of retirement, and sends him to Abydos to find out what happened. O'Neill is reunited with Daniel Jackson (Michael Shanks) -- only to have Daniel's wife and brother-in-law abducted by the evil Apophis. A rescue attempt sparks off a war with the Goa'uld -- aliens who have been impersonating human gods for many centuries.

So the team SG-1 -- made up of O'Neill, Jackson, scientist/pilot Sam Carter (Amanda Tapping) and Apophis' ex-slave Teal'c (Christopher Judge) -- explore through the Stargate, finding plenty of hostile aliens, strange allies (the Unas, the Asgard), and humans scattered all over. Not to mention the gate-builders, who have ascended to another plane.

Frst they battle the arrogant Apophis, then the devil-imitating So'kar, and the malignant half-energy Anubis and his army of undead warriors. The Goa'uld power structure starts to splinter, and new secret organizations make power plays on Earth, as SG-1 uncovers the hidden legacies of humanity's ancestors.

Even after the Goa'uld storyline ends, things haven't ended for SG-1. Cameron Mitchell (Ben Browder) is given command of SG-1, and manages to gather the disbanded team back together, with the help of a quirky alien mercenary, Vala Mal Doran (Claudia Black). Together, they find that the Milky Way faces its most deadly threat ever -- the Ori, evil ascended beings who demand that everyone worship them... or else.

Previously all "exploration" sci-fi focused on people on ships. "Stargate" avoids the usual space opera approach -- even when ships are introduced, the main focus is on walking through a big stone ring. It's also full of real military, political battles (both on and off Earth), and a very plausible reason why everybody in the galaxy (more or less) looks just like us.

It's graced with elaborate, opulant sets, solid special effects, shoot-'em-up action from Marines and Air Force, and some truly kinetic space battles (including one that resembles the climax of "Star Wars IV"). The storyline stumbles somewhat in the last two seasons, with the sudden switch in villains and cast. But all ten seasons are sprinkled with very warm human moments -- Daniel's farewell to his wife, Sam bonding with a doomed little girl, and Teal'c's struggle for freedom.

Best of all is the snappy script. Some of it comes from Teal'c ("Undomesticated equines could not remove me"), but mostly from the tart-tongued O'Neill ("Well, I guess we all start shooting. There's blood, death, hard feelings... it'd suck"). Other characters get great lines too (" I think the circle means 'the place of our legacy'...or it could be 'a piece of our leg', but the first seems to make more sense").

The cast is nothing short of brilliant -- Anderson does a quirky, disrespectful, pop culture-lovin' guy with a hidden tragic past, while Tapping and Shanks are great as an enthusiastic geek and a smart, capable military woman. And Judge is absolutely astounding as Teal'c, who slowly turns from a stoic, tragic warrior to a warm legendary hero.

Corin Nemec had a one-season stint as Daniel's "replacement," and he makes a nice, eager young newbie, and Ben Browder channels much of O'Neill's quirkiness when Anderson left. Black is kind of annoying at times, but she's admittedly quite funny and quirky, with a tragic past of her own.

"Stargate SG-1" is undeniably the best TV spinoff, and one of the best "exploration" shows to make it onto the air... and stay there for a whole decade. Definitely worth seeing, from beginning to end.
