Advantages: Choose a story that flows tauten
Disadvantages: Special effects is less good

Told the team Stargate Atlantis to find a lost city. But lying open on the earth, but in the Pegasus Galaxy. Then formed a group to investigate the city led by Dr. Elizabeth Weir. In fact they only find a town without inhabitants. The city has been abandoned for ten thousand years. Not only that, they also find a mahkluk a very strong and very hated man.

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 ...

Where no man has gone before...

Advantages: Star Trek, Star Trek and more Star Trek
Disadvantages: None

...inside this box in another Star Trek decorated box and then in proper cases to protect the disks and stop them from falling out. Episodes from this series are: 1. Time's Arrow (Part 2) The conclusion to the episode at the end of the previous series. 2. Realm Of Fear 3. Man of the People 4. Relics Scotty returns for this episode and works alongside the ship's current engineer Geordi to save the Enterprise just like he did all those years ago. ...
...see Scotty have to learn to live in the 24th Century having been stuck in a transporter for a good few years. 5. Schisms 6. True Q 7. Rascals 8. A Fistful Of Datas 9. The Quality of Life 10. Chain Of Command (Part 1) 11. Chain Of Command (Part 2) This episode was disturbing for me as a Picard fan and turned me against the Cardassians for ever. Picard is tortured by a Cardassian but Picard holds his own and we see some strong character building ...

Atlantis Season 2 - When it really takes off

Advantages: Really building on the first season
Disadvantages: Will still need to own season 1 to understand everything

Season 2 of Atlantis really did move the show into great sci-fi. The addition of Ronan to the cast was a much needed move. Ford in the first season was an ok character but I never really felt that he was interesting enough to be more than a recurring guest star. I think the writing on the show got better over the second season with some great episodes and drama/comedy. The acting is brilliant, with all the characters managing to become deeper along ...
...Atlantis got its own in-house special effects for season 2 and you can really notice the difference. They really take the CGI up a notch in season 2 with some amazing space battles. The introduction of the Earth ship Daedalus really gives them a chance to show more aswell instead of last seasons puddle jumper shots. On the dvd there are some nice special features including featurettes about the show and my favourites, the commentaries which are ...

Could the Ori spell the end for SG-1?

Advantages: New characters and fantastic CGI scenes
Disadvantages: Some very predictable storylines

...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. ...
