Stargate SG-1 is the TV spin-off from the 1994 big-screen movie. In the roles of Colonel Jack O'Neill and Dr Daniel Jackson respectively are Richard Dean Anderson and Michael Shanks. They're joined by Captain Samantha Carter (Amanda Tapping) and guilt-stricken 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.
Episodes on this DVD:"Between Two Fires". If there's one lesson SG-1 has learned, it's to always look a gift horse in the mouth. So when old acquaintances the Tollan offer Earth a brace of advanced weaponry, Jack's the first to raise a questioning hand and wonder if they aren't "Between Two Fires". Some James Bond-style sneaking about soon unravels the mystery.
"2001". A lot of behind-the-scenes political machinations occur during "2001". There's another gloriously menacing cameo from Ronny Cox as Senator Kinsey who's desperately trying to dismantle the Stargate programme. All of which makes the A-plot about a new ally somewhat insignificant! But as always with newcomers on the show, the Aschen may not be all they appear to be.
"Desperate Measures". Driven to "Desperate Measures", the perpetrator behind the kidnap of Major Carter puts everyone in an ethical quandary. Jack is forced to team up with his old foe Maybourne to find her. As if his cameo isn't insidious and slimy enough, there's another terrifically snake-like appearance by John de Lancie as Colonel Simmons.
"Wormhole X-Treme!". Coming soon to network TV is "Wormhole X-Treme!", a science fiction show featuring an intrepid team travelling to other worlds via an intergalactic portal. Sound familiar? It sure does to the SGC, and when Jack and company investigate they discover dear old Willie Garson (Martin Lloyd from Season 4's Point of No Return) has become a whole new form of security problem. This is the show's 100th episode, and was created as a sort of Galaxy Quest parody. Full of crew-member cameos and in-jokes, it's definitely the best fun fans and cast have had amid the more dramatically serious story arc over the year. --Paul Tonks

This DVD brings us comedy, tradedgy and devilishly evil bad guys.Sounds run-of-the-mill ? Not realy.
Within these episodes bosts the return of my favourite'you love to hate'bad guy Maybourne.
The interaction between him and O'Niell is allways a pleasure to watch.
We also see the return of a Goa'uld with whom Teal'c has 'that Jaffa revenge thing' with.
Its all good stuff.
The highlight for me thou was the fantastic 100th Episode-Wormhole Extreme.
What can i say,i sat with a smile on my face all the way through.
Offbeat and light hearted without a Goa'uld insight.
Full of crew cameos and a rather oddly familiar story line.Comedy genius.
All thou these four Episodes where a little lacking in the speical effects department-'Goa'uld bashing' style'-The preveiws for the next volume (23)show that it more than makes up.
Bonus materialis allways an extra treat and a facinating video diary by Christopher Judge was cherry on the top.

This DVD is a must have for all Stargate fans.
Between Two Fires:- Great episode involving the Tolan who get themselves into trouble with the Goa'uld again. This time though they have pu the whole Earth in grave danger. It is always nice to see the Tollan getting themselves into a pickle as they think the yare so great.
2001:- SG-1 find another ally they think they can get technology off but fail yet again, much to the annoyance to senator kinsey.
Desperate Measures:- A great episode with the main eye on Sam Carter and her symbiot. Maybourne again gets involved in his own devious way.
Wormhole X-Treme:- If you buy this DVD for any reason att all let it be this episode. the famous 100th Stargate episode. You get to see a spoof TV show of Stargate. Full of comedy and of course Martin Loydd.
