Roswell - the complete season

Advantages: All 3 seasons in one set
Disadvantages: You'll have to save up

...excellent value for money. Roswell follows the lives of 6 teenagers living in Roswell, New Mexico, home of the infamous 1950s alien spaceship crash. 3 of the teenagers are normal, human kids - and 3 are from a little further away and have special powers.

Review of Roswell - Seasons One To Three (Box Set) (DVD)

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 ...

Review of Stargate Atlantis - Series 2 - Complete (DVD)

"Whats The Nature Of The Medical Emergency".

Advantages: Brilliant Extras, Smart Looking Case, 5.1 DD Re-Master, Good Value
Disadvantages: 4:3 Aspect Ratio, Two Original Episodes Missing.

For the first time ever, Star Trek Voyager is on DVD, and wow, what a difference it is to video! Season 1 comprises of six discs, which are contained in a very posh sleek box made of hard plastic. This really is of high quality compared to the region 1 version, the writing on the outside of the box is in silver, and inside it is all padded so the discs don’t slip around in their sleeves. (See the pics)! The discs are contained in open plastic sleeves ...

Review of Star Trek - Voyager - Series 1 - Complete (DVD)

Deep Space Nine - Season 3

Advantages: Fantastic Episodes
Disadvantages: None

This season of Deep Space Nine is one of my all time favourites with some excellent episodes. Set in the year 2371 with the dominion emerging as a force that will have to be reckoned with. Some brilliant episodes, the best I think being Past Tense which is a double episode, where Sisko, Jadzia and Bashir are stuck back on earth in the year 2024 where the idea of what happens if the government and the people just put all the unemployed and people ...
...rest of the world and conviently forgotten about! Another great episode is Facets with Dax gets to meet her previous hosts, which creates an interesting character for Odo to become! Two episodes with special guest appearances, Jonathan Frakes returns as Will Riker in one and the delightful Lwaxana Troi returns for an episode with Odo. The other great episode in this is Second Skin - where Kira wakes up to find herself surically altered to be a cardassian ...

Review of Star Trek : Deep Space Nine - Series 3 (Box Set) (DVD)

"You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile."

Advantages: Excellent episodes, Good value for money
Disadvantages: pity that there are not more extras

...most spinechilling creations in the Star Trek univers somehow the romulans then the ferengi and Klingons did not have the same - edge of seat effect. This has made them one star trek franchises most powerful publicity and ratings winners, no more does the prime directive apply instead its lock and load and lets unleash some of those phasers, and torpeedoes and blow them all to hell as soon as they enter scanner range. If only it were so simple. Tthis ...
...4 2-part episodes) from the Star Trek universe chosen by the fans and presented order as the borg sweep accross the galaxy. The episode "Regeneration" of the prequel series Star Trek: Enterprise leads off the set as the "earliest" contact with the Borg even though it is the most recent to be filmed. The Next Generation episodes "Q Who" and the 2-part showdown "The Best of Both Worlds" (where picard is captured by the Borg) to the Star Trek: Voyager ...
