Stargate SG-1 - Season 8 [DVD]

When a series has gone on for as long as Stargate SG-1 has it generally starts to loose its way and devolve into mediocrity but thankfully it appears that this series has bucked this trend. The twenty-one episodes in this eighth series of the Stargate are, if anything, better than the vast majority of the episodes from the previous seasons. Season eight sees the return of the Replicators, O'Neill's promotion, the continuing search for Ancient technology, the Jaffa rebellion reaches its climax and much more.This season of Stargate SG-1 has been one of my favourite to date with the only real bad episode being the clip-show `Citizen Joe' but even that is a cut above some other clip-shows I have seen. The writing is competent throughout and the performances by the cast are good and you do feel that they are comfortable with their characters now. My favourite episode from this season has to be `Prometheus Unbound' a truly entertaining and funny episode guest staring Claudia Black from the cult show Farscape.One thing that I am worried about with this season is that it does appear to tie up many of the ongoing plotlines that have been ongoing throughout the shows run and introducing new plotlines this late in the day rarely works well. Despite this I am still looking forward to watching the continued adventures of SG-1 in the future.

Even after 7 seasons, SG1 is still going strong throughout season 8 with plenty of great story lines & the familiar humour that shows this series doesn't take itself too seriously. I really enjoyed watching all episodes, awesome stuff! However, the last 2 part offering was a little weak by comparison, starting on the premise of obtaining a ZPM at great risk that wasn't really needed & that no one from SG1 would actually attempt in their right minds. It was a bit out of character for them in my opinion, with too much comedy throughout, but watchable nonetheless. I would definitely recommend this to any Science Fiction fans out there in need of some quality content.

Condensed product compared to older style sets. All there however with all the usual fun viewing for fans.

One of my old favourites!

After finishing season 7 ,both my husband and I couldn't wait for No. 8,and we were not disappointed. It just gets better and better. The characters are so easy to identify with,not the cool, lifeless characters you sometimes get in US series. We are both like little kids ,watching the adventures of the SG 1 team in excitement. Very highly recommendable ,and a Must for Science fiction fans.

Very good

I was expecting the full box size set rather than the slim one so it matched all my previous 1 to 7 sets. Also the advertising on them is really not required as any collector of Stargate would already know about Atlantis and so on and only distracts from watching the episodes, real pain.

SG-1, everyone should watch this. Packaged really well and the disc quality is excellent. Some DVD discs aren't the best but these shine.
