Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
The 1994 movie Stargate was originally intended as the start of a franchise, but creators Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin were distracted with Independence Day. Episodic TV treatment was the natural next step. Replacing the roles of Colonel Jack O'Neill (Kurt Russell) and Dr. Daniel Jackson (James Spader) are, respectively, Richard Dean Anderson and Michael Shanks. They're joined by Captain Samantha Carter (Amanda Tapping) and former alien baddie Teal'c (Christopher Judge) to form the primary unit SG-1. With a seemingly endless network of Stargates found to exist on planets all across the known universe, their mission is to make first contact with as many friendly races as possible. Chasing their heels at almost every turn are the "overlord" pharaonic Goa'uld--the ancient Egyptian gods from the original film. The welcome notion of a continued plot thread sees offshoots that follow the reincarnation of Daniel's wife, Sam's father literally joining a renegade faction of the Goa'uld, and Jack in an unending quest to out-sarcasm everyone. Amid a plethora of derivative look-alikes, Stargate SG-1 has held its own with stories that put the science fiction back into TV sci-fi.
Among the second season's 22 episodes, "The Serpent's Lair" concludes the cliffhanger from the end of the first season in a rollercoaster of wit, plot twists, and cutting-edge special effects as the SG-1 team resign themselves to a suicide mission. In the two-parter "The Tok'ra," Sam's estranged father is dying of cancer, but her obligations sway her toward saving a member of the Goa'uld renegade Tok'ra who is also dying. In "Show and Tell," the central story arc takes a dramatic turn when a child arrives to warn that some survivors of a Goa'uld attack are determined to eliminate anyone who might host their enemy--which means Earth as a whole. There's great fun to be had in "1969," with a time-travel plot that loops many aspects of the show's story lines together, and the cliffhanger finale, "Out of Mind," has Jack experience an Aliens-style awakening 79 years into his future. --Paul Tonks

Season Two was great. I'm loving the drama of season II. My favorite episode was the black hole. SG1 connects to a world being eaten up by a black hole. The black hole is sending gravitational waves through the worm hole. The Iris is shut but a gravity bubble begins to form slowing down time. The earth is in danger of eventual collapse from the increasing gravitational waves. A gravitational lens or bubble forms slowing time down relatively. A plan is devised to detonate a small nuclear bomb near the worm hole causing the tube to reconnect to another gate allowing the current gate to be shutdown.

Box DVD Set arrived very quickly! All discs in great shape - no problems playing any of them! This series is great - a wonderful mix of sci fi & comedy! You gotta love the dry sense of humor displayed by Richard Dean Anderson's Jack O'Neil character!

When someone buys a season of a show, you know their gonna be happy with the content. Such is my case. I'm a big fan of StarGate SG-1 and I loved season 3. I paid for next day shipping, low and behold when I got back from the gym that morning it was there like they said it would be. So this was a great purchace for me. (Now if I could just afford to buy seasons 7-10 and 2 of the 3 movies I'd be set.)
