Amazon.co.uk Review

Like the very best of SF TV, Stargate SG-1 began very simply. Of course it had the benefit of a movie preceding it--in which the alternate universe, its rules and its characters were largely established--so this premiere season was therefore able to concentrate on good storytelling.

In 1997 not every new show was obsessed with securing a syndication-guaranteed franchise (same goes for Buffy debuting the same year), instead one-off episodes were the way of things, exploring interesting scenarios and conundrums. Naturally there were allusions to the feature film, but most were subtle and inspired. For example, a trip to retrieve the trapped professor who'd worked on the Gate decades ago was an unusual way of tying up loose ends. Some groundwork was laid for continuation should the show be renewed into an ongoing series. Knowing that these elements were pure wishful thinking at the time makes the tapestry of System Lords and the interlinks with our history and mythology all the more enjoyable in revisiting the show from its beginnings. With Richard Dean Anderson, leading the team in a far more charismatic and empathetic way than Kurt Russell in the movie, the series also benefited from some spot-on casting that instantly won audiences over. Special effects and use of studio sets may be less dazzling in these initial shows, but its solid grounding in old-fashioned SF won for the show a loyal audience. --Paul Tonks

4.0 out of 5 stars Finally, the complete series one...., 21 Nov 2002
By Jackal (England) - See all my reviews
As a big fan of Stargate SG-1, I was really pleased to see that finally, the good people at MGM decided on producing this set which includes all of season 1, and not just the best bits. Many times i was tempted to buy the complete set from America, which ofcourse would have meant getting a region 1 dvd player, but its here....and its great! The first season after the film is in my mind, one of the best, it allows us to understand the characters and there development, and does very well in following on where the film left off. I would really love to give this set 5 stars but unfortunaely i can't. The epipsodes themselves are great, presented in dolby digital and widescreen, but there is a real lack of extras, well to be frank, there is none. Despite this, its a must for any Stargate fan, buy it now....!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars There can be 0 quibbles with the show, 26 Aug 2003
By A Customer
and that fact (absolutely no quibbles with the show) mean, that this gets 5 stars. With no questions askde. Quite simply, this is the best Sci-Fi show to ever grace our screens, but is severely under-rated and under publicised, and in part, suffers from it's American roots.

Despite this, it's a first class show, with a top notch cast, and brilliant writers and the show really has a feeling of warmth and care and affection plastered all over it. It has a nice buf=dget and good SFX, and though not my favourite series, is a great way to introduce anyone to the cast and the characters, as this series does have some tour-de-force episodes for some of the cast, notably Michael Shanks, who excels as Daniel. And topped up with O'neill's dry wit, this show really has something for everyone.

A great starting point, and an overall must have- though I hope MGM will realese a better set in the future as this set is severely lacking in extra's when the potential for them is so great.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic season, great to see the team as they were..., 5 April 2003
I have been patiently holding off buying individual dvds of sg1 for years, waiting for the individual series' to come out as a whole. Well, I finally got my hands on it, and all I can say is, it was a FANTASTIC 15 hours! It was so good to see the first episodes, and compare the characters. Despite it being the first season of a show the writing is superb and the acting even better. A great continuation from the film, its funny, adventurous, thrilling and touching! Richard Dean Anderson is one of the strongest male leads in a sci fi show I have seen for a while, and the rest of the team do him a great credit. If you are a fan of the show this is a MUST! If not, then I would still recommend this item as a fantatic introduction to one of the best action/adventure shows (let alone sci fi) around. OK, so the lack of extras IS dissappointing, but they will come with later seasons. Buy it, buy it now, adventure awaits on the other side of the Stargate!
