Stargate S.G.1 based on the Stargate movie. This series is one of the best science fiction series ever. The series follows S.G. 1 on their missions to other planets through the Stargate. The S.G. 1 team are made up of Jack O'Neill (2 L's), Samantha Carter, Daniel Jackson and eventually Teal'c. Colonel Jack O'Neill is very anti establishment and has a lot of funny one liners and always seems to be the one getting shot, blown up, zapped, transported ...
...Carter is the science geek, if it is broke or needs fixing she can fix it. She uses words like exponentially a lot. Amanda Tapping plays her. Daniel Jackson is an archaeologist who originally told the world that the pyramids were landing pads for alien ships. Micheal Shanks plays him. Teal'c is a Jaffa and he starts off as a "baddy" but he really does not beleive in the false "gods" the Goa'uld. He helps S.G. 1 to escape and becomes part of the team. ... Read review

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 ... Read review

...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 ... Read review

...on base, General Landry (played by Beu Bridges) and the new team leader for SG-1, former F-302 pilot Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchel (played by Farscapes Ben Browder). This not only gives the show a new leading lineup, but an interesting change in the way things work around at stargate command. ... Read review

Disadvantages: Not for everyone

Stargate Continuum is the latest Stargate movie. Its basically a stand alone movie, but for full enjoyment some background knowledge of Stargate SG1 the series is necessary. For those that havent seen Stargate SG1 there will be parts that will be confusing. Basically the plot is; SG1 are overseeing the removal of the Goa'ual Ba'al by the Tok'ra, when Ba'al, Teal'c and Vala disappear. Leaving Daniel, Sam and Mitchell to find out what happened and ...
...Prime. For Stargate fans such as myself it rounds off the story of the Goa'uld which was left floating in the wind after Stargate SG1 was suddenly cancelled by the Sci Fi channel. It also sees the much loved Don S Davis resurrect his role of General George Hammond, a bonus for any Stargate fan. The action is perfectly paced, not too fast that none Stargate fans wouldnt be able to keep up, and not so slow that it ever becomes boring. The acting ... Read review
