Stargate SG1 - Season 1

Advantages: Gripping, addictive, plenty too watch, perfect in most ways
Disadvantages: expensive and may take up most of your days for the next while

...a massive fan of the Stargate franchise since my older brother brought home the first season box set a couple of years ago and we sat down to watch it nearly every day. Ok, so first I’ll begin with an explanation of the Stargate SG1 universe. Here goes. Humans are a the next step in the evolutionary path of a race of aliens known as the ‘Ancients’. They were a massively advanced race both in technoligy and mentaly who existed millions of years ...
...a device known as the Stargate that is capable of near instantanious travel between two of the devices usually situated on different planets though sometimes appear in space. So when the Ancients ascended they left behind stargates on thousands of worlds. Next we have a parasitic race known as the goa’uld which are symbiotes that burrow into a host body and take control of it usually enhanncing its abilities. But these symbiotes are all egomaniacs ...

Best of Sci-fi

Advantages: Inspirational
Disadvantages: Expencive

Stargate is without a shaow of a dout one of the best Sci-fi series ever created. Unlike the first season where the series was trying to create a credible storyline from the film, season two moves away from that and really show the viewer what stargate is really about. In season two a new race of alience is intruduced which is going to play important parts in the other seasons, apart from loads of other exiting new developments. Everything is based ...

Stargate S.G.1- SERIES 3

Advantages: Charactor classics
Disadvantages: you want more

...no-one writtern a review on stargate season 3. I am disapointed on the fans (shame on you) haha. I must say this is one of my fav boxsets due to the fact the writers concetrate on the characters which appeals to the veiwer that so much more, ok i will begin Standard intro: Stargate SG-1 is about an Air Force team that, through the use of a large metal hoop found in the Egyptian desert that opens wormholes to other gates on different worlds, is exploring ...
...the Fire "Previously, on Stargate SG-1…" Hathor has managed to capture Jack, Sam and Daniel (but not Teal,'c though she might have rejected him because she couldn't mess with his mind as easily.) She almost had them convinced that everyone else on the team was dead and that s/he held vital information from the last mission, but our heroes aren't so stupid. Oh, and Daniel has a stupid new haircut. On of the other teams comes across some information ...

And the battle against the Goa'uld continues...

Advantages: More of the same exciting action, great characterization
Disadvantages: Some stories are boring.

...I am a big, big Stargate fan. The stargate series continues from where the original film left off. In the original Stargate movie, a team of soldiers set off to an alien planet called 'Abydos', through the Stargate (see pic below), to do some reconnosance. To cut the long story short, after some time on Abydos, they encountered some trouble in the form of Goa'ulds. A Goa'uld is a human who has a parasite inside of him and poses as a god to an amount ...
...episodes, SG-1 travels through the stargate and meets some other civilisation, causes some trouble and fixes it in some way. Most of the civilisations they meet are human (although they do meet aliens too), because it was found that humans on Earth are the 'people of the Tari' which means that all human life in the whole universe started in our planet. Amazingly, all humans of all planets speak English or whatever language you're happening to see ...
