Stargate SG-1 Season 5 Boxed Set Customer Reviews (1 - 3 of 14 Reviews)

Interesting...
Another good effort, but with a little less success.

The move away from exploration and towards X-files-like conspiracies and a plethora of blowing stuff up makes little sense in the established universe of the Stargate folks. The first half of the season was good; a little bit preachy, but still with the characters doing their thing.

"Wormhole Extreme", the 100th episode, purported to be a tribute to the show, is a mess of in-jokes and has a serious lack of the actual characters, instead focusing on comic alien Marty and his parody of the SG-1 team. Things pretty much go downhill from there, to the point where original character Daniel Jackson is "killed off" in a very obvious scifi-never-kills-anyone kind of way. (Don't worry, he returns in season 7)

Some good stories, a couple great ones, and several real duds. Jonathan Glassner--why did you leave?!



This season made us buy 'em all !
As I read the Editorial Review, I was thinking,
"Did he watch the same shows *I* did?" How do I know Season 5 was superior? It was the one where I had to KEEP telling my husband "You are gonna LOVE this episode."

I'm a HUGE Star Trek fan ... ever since watching the original series, in real time, as a kid ... but this is SO much better than Star Trek (I still can't believe I said that.)

And now, there goes the budget. Season 5 got my hubby hooked, too. It's fun to go back through the whole series (he's ready for Season 3) and watch him discover Stargate.

But this season was the corker. I knew I had to make shelf space for all those boxes :->

Best Series on Tv
I make it a Point every friday night to be in fron tof my TV to watch STARGATE SG-1. Being the GREATEST SERIES ON TELEVISION. It was origanally done for SHOTIME, who in my option was stupid for letting it go, then picked up by SCI/FI channel. I honestly think that SHOTIMES stupidity has help the show because they would have givin it 2-3 seasons then killed it because they have no vision(IMO). Thankfully SCI/FI grabed it and ran with it with 8 seasons todate and a suposed 9th and 10th season coming, i will be spending a lot of money on these box sets. I buy them as they appear on AMAZON. BUY IT ITS GREAT!!!
