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 ... Read review

Advantages: great plot, character development, sound track and visuals
Disadvantages: a bit slow and hard to follow in the beginning for first time viewers

...the entire collection of the ghost in the shell tv series part 1, it is composed of 26 episodes and includes both an English subtitle and dubbing track which are both equally good I found, as the dubbing is good and never strays to far from the original script, although in the first few episodes the lip sync may not be so good in English but it does get better as their series progresses. It was created after the original ghost in the shell movie, ...
...characters and story line. Ghost in the shell is based in the futuristic world of japan where the majority of people have decided to become cyborgs (part prosthetic part human) in order to have easier access to data flows over the web and longer life expectancy, for instance if they are shot and severely disabled in a prosthetic body then they can simply have their brain transplanted to another prosthetic body, or a tank or whatever they so desire. ...

Advantages: Good for a slow sunday afternoon
Disadvantages: spoils the real predator/Alien movies

...jumping my way through the Alien films, i was under the impression that Predator Vs Alien would be the beast of all films, how wrong can a person be? After showing the Alien creatures skull on the predators space craft in Predator 2 this stated that the Alien creature were weaker than the Predators, but to actually make this into a film was always going to be a difficult task for the writers. The film was slow to start and it desperately tried ...
...meet. The three types of creatures fighting for survival in the dark depths of planet Earth, only for the strongest and smartest species to survive, but who would come out of the pits of hell. It sounded a good plot and the action scenes were well shot but the entire storyline was too far fetched, even for a sci-fi movie. For me it spoilt the previous 2 Predator films as they had both been very well written and could almost have been reality at ... Read review

Advantages: So much cheaper than the larger TNG alternatives
Disadvantages: Not the most special features

Season 4 of Star Trek The Next Generation is probably my personal favourite. It has a multitude of classic trek episodes and starts with probably the most famous and tense season resolutions in the Star Trek universe with the second part of "Best Of Both Worlds". Most of the main cast get their own episodes in this season so the stories are nice and varied. Even though this season is quite a few years old now a lot of the stories told still feel ...
...of slimline boxsets to the Star Trek franchise is definately a good move. I had bought a few of the larger sets and was always annoyed at the price and the fact that they never really fit into my collection. Of course now I do not have this problem so I can finish off buying all of the others. There are not too many special features however apart from some featurettes. These are nice to watch but I would have also like some commentary tracks to ... Read review

Advantages: A nice return, and a new Doctor
Disadvantages: Two quite dull adventures

With Doctor Who Season being back in full swing; as the third series of the new stories is a third of the way through I thought this a pertinent time to review this box set. Anyone who has watched the new series of Doctor Who, may well be aware that all three series have been working there way towards a massive story arch. This culminates into a crescendo of shocks at the end of this season. Working on the idea that the Doctor is alone for the first ...
...a startling message to the Doctor in the episode Gridlock. “You are not alone!” With this in mind I bring you a review of Doctor Who: New Beginning box set. This three disc set brings about the return of a much loved Doctor Who enemy. The Keeper Of Traken Having arrived on the planet Traken, The Doctor (played by Tom Baker) and his hitchhiking pal Adric discover that this somewhat normally calm peaceful planet has been rocked by a recent change ...
