Amazon.co.uk Review

The 1994 movie Stargate was originally intended as the start of a franchise, but creators Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin were distracted celebrating their Independence Day. Episodic TV treatment was the natural next step. 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 teacher's pet 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" Goa'uld--the ancient Egyptian Gods who are none too chummy after the events of the original film. There's something of The Time Tunnel to the show's premise, but Stargate has held its own with stories that put the science fiction back into TV sci-fi.

On the DVD: Episodes: The Curse, The Serpent's Venom, Chain Reaction and 2010.

It's five years after the Stargate movie saw Dr. Jackson's theories professionally debunked. In "The Curse", he finally finds short-lived vindication with a few of his old archaeological colleagues. Unfortunately, one of them is more interested in the recently discovered Osiris Jar than is healthy. The birth of a powerful new Goa'uld God is sure to spell trouble for the SG team soon. "The Serpent's Venom" is the strongest test of Teal'c's loyalties anyone could have imagined. Betrayed and captured on homeworld Chulak, the "sholvah" is tortured to the point of death. In fact, it is his willingness to accept death that convinces his captors that perhaps his rejection of Apophis has meaning for them too. This is a powerful episode with strong violence and performances. When General Hammond announces his resignation on the grounds of disliking sending people into danger, the team know something's wrong. A "Chain Reaction" of events and clues leads O'Neill to the recently incarcerated turncoat Maybourne. Suddenly with this episode, all the previous references to the sinister NID agency make worrying sense. As Hammond explains, they're "above the law". That doesn't stop Jack from MacGuyvering a way out of the clutches of Ronny Cox's double-dealing Senator Kinsey though! Inexplicably, we're then presented with a future vision of the year "2010" where Kinsey has become President. Here we see Earth in peaceful alliance with the Aschen race. But Jack is sulking in secluded retirement. Sure enough things aren't at all idyllic--just as he forewarned--and in typical style for the series, an engaging time-travel plotline unravels to safeguard the past from this imperfect present. --Paul Tonks

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely fantastic, 4 Oct 2001
By A Customer
Stargate is an excellent series. The actuial movie stargate was not very impressive, however, the series has more than made up for the disappointment. the series are absolutely fantastic. we have the whole collection of stargate on DVD and find it very interesting. each episode is full of flavour and suprise. we love watching stargate for the simple reason that it is educational and plays on the imaginations. it is wonderful family viewing.

5.0 out of 5 stars StarGate at its best!, 20 Oct 2002
I was enticed into the world of SG-1 by my sister who has 20 stargate DVDs and counting!! This, however is my favourite volume out of all them (apart from volume 1 - the return of SG-1). It has a varied collection of episodes, including the accidental strengthening of Apophys' army and power over the Goa-uld community with the help of a re-programmed mine. An episode looking at the future of SG-1 in 2010, when the Goa'uld have been defeated and a clean community has been produced, however, is it a plot to rid of all humans?

The Stargate series has intrigued me to a level where I can't get enough of it. Personally, I didn't think much of the film, but the following series has taken it so much further, with the help of a little humour - from Richard Dean Anderson (plays-Colonel Jack O'Neill). I recommend you at least watch a few of the episodes on either this DVD or volume 1 which shows a threat to our own world, Earth.

A well thought out series which should have done a lot better!

From the start DO NOT expect this series to be anything like the poorly made film. If this is what you're after don't bother buying the series. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars not an excellent series
although based on a good film, the series of stargate never really took of in a big way. unbelievable stories and a weak script did not help the otherwise okay cast. Read more
