Stargate SG-1: Season 1

The movie STARGATE was a fascinating piece of speculative fiction with an exciting story and lots of interest. The TV series does not live up to the same standard but it is not for lack of trying. The studios went all out with series in an effort to make it appealing to the eyes and to the mind. The costumes are not as good as those from the movie but they are certainly good enough. About the most unbelievable part about the series is the way that just about everyone they run into speaks English. Still, it is a fun series to watch.Synopses of the episodes appear below:Children of the Gods - This was the pilot episode. About a year after the mission to Abydos (Stargate Movie), the people of Earth believe that they are safe and that the stargate was sealed at the far end. They were wrong. They learn this when the gate opens and a group of marauders comes through, killing some of the guards and kidnapping another one. To deal with this situation, Col. Jack O'Neill is called out of retirement again. He leads a mission back to Abydos to learn what happened and where the marauders came from. One of them seems an awful lot like Ra, killed at the end of the movie. The reconnaissance reveals that the doc is still alive and well but that the stargates lead to many more destinations. One of these destinations is the source of the raiders. It seems that they have a penchant for kidnapping people to use as the host for the larval stage of the "gods". A new task force is put together to provide stargate security and to try and learn more. Another, unofficial mission will be to rescue the doc's wife, taken as a host for one of the parasites.The Enemy Within - As the team made its exit from the hostile firefight at the end of the pilot episode, Maj. Kowalski was infected with one of the creatures. This episode is concerned primarily with how the parasite can be removed. The parasite, however, has its own plans. It wants to get home and doesn't care who gets killed...the more the merrier. Just as important to the story line for the series as a whole is how the defector should be treated. Some want to add him to the team and others want to study him in a lab. It is he, though, who will save the day.Emancipation - An expedition makes its way to a planet populated by Mongols a la Genghis Khan. Fortunately, they all speak English so the show is easy to follow. It turns out that these Mongols were seeded on the planet by the same race that likes to use humans as incubators for their young. Because of this, the culture has changed some. Women are property and are not allowed to speak unless spoken to in the hope that this will help hide them from the aliens. It is death to show their face in public. The expedition happily first encounters a fairly progressive clan who actually try to be nice to their women in a male chauvinist sort of way. It looks like things are going well until the blonde captain Carter is kidnapped by the chieftain's son. He doesn't want her for himself; instead, he wants to trade her to a rival chieftain for a bride. From there, things start to spiral downward until it looks like a war between the clans. It will take a round of hand to hand combat to resolve things and, perhaps, bring about a Mongol Equal Rights Amendment.The Broca Divide - The team from SG1 visits a strange planet. There seems to be the remnants of a Minoan civilization but there also seems to be a primitive society without any type of civilization at all. What seems to be completely missing is any sign of the BAD GUYS or any threat. The team manages to stick around long enough to learn that the primitives or "touched" as they are called are actually members of the more advanced civilization as well but they have been touched by members of "the touched". After that, some of them become "the touched" and others do not. It is all very interesting but doesn't seem to bear on the mission at hand so they return to base. In the middle of the debrief, though, members of the team start going crazy. It affects some, but not all. It seems there is some fast acting virus and that the clue to the cure lies back on the planet.The First Commandment - When the SG9 team becomes overdue, the SG1 team is sent looking for them and they expect the worse. They do not find the ghoulish aliens posing as gods; instead, they find the leader of the SG1 team posing as a god. He has promised to protect the people of the planet from their hellish sun in exchange for a few simple things like unquestioning obedience, labor, undying devotion and, presumably, the occasional nubile maiden. He has deeper plans, however. He has expected SG1 to be sent to investigate and he is counting on Capt. Clark, his former lover, to get an alien artifact working.Brief Candle - The SG1 teams investigates a new planet with a vaguely Greek culture. It seems like a paradise but there is something amiss. Everyone seems too happy, young and playful. Nobody gets any work done. They just enjoy themselves and mysteriously fall asleep each night. No force can wake them. The colonel manages to get himself accidentally married to one of the local girls and then he becomes susceptible to the sleep disorder as well. More than that, he begins aging at an incredible rate. It turns out that the locals were originally an experimental population for the ghouls. They have been infected with a bit of nano technology to accelerate their aging process and each is allotted 100 days to live. They are born, get old and die in that span of time. Now the colonel is racing to catch up with them and he is already well over a hundred days old.Cold Lazarus - This one strains the bounds of credibility more than most. The SG1 team explores a new planet but this one seems to be without life. Instead, they find only a bunch of blue crystals. When Col. O'Neill examines one too closely, he gets blasted unconscious. Then a replica of the colonel goes back with the team, goes AWOL and seeks out the colonel's family. He has a strange mission having to do with their dead child. When the real colonel shows up back at the HQ, a manhunt ensues in order to locate him. No one wants to harm anyone else but there are unintended consequences.Thor's Hammer - The SG1 team hypothesizes that there is another race out there which is advanced as the ghouls but which is benevolent. Their clues lead them back to the Norse myths and, particularly, Thor and his hammer. Teal'c recognizes the sign of the hammer and even has a set of stargate coordinates associated with it. They make the trip and find a world of humans with Norse culture and who venerate Thor as their great benefactor. As soon as they come through, though, they are examined by a mysterious ray and Teal'c is affected by it, Col O'Neill gets caught up in it also when he tries to help and the two of them are whisked off to a quarantine area to cleanse those infected with the parasites. This gives hope to the doc that there is a way to save his wife but he must make some tough choices.The Torment of Tantalus - While reviewing some old records, Daniel learns that the military managed to activate the stargate back in 1945. A single traveler went through and was never heard from again. That traveler was the fiancé of one of the original researchers. Records also indicate that the gate opens on a location that is unknown to the ghouls. A reconnaissance is organized along with a rescue expedition, just in case the traveler is still alive. The team makes it through, finds the man isolate for 50 years and then discovers that the gate at the other end is broken. It's a long walk home.Bloodlines - After some exploratory surgery intended to see if the ghoul parasite can be removed from Teal'c, we learn that he has a wife and son back on his home planet. We further learn that he is scheduled to be infected with a parasite in just a few days. He resolves to go back and rescue them. Since the SG high command will have a lot of trouble stopping him, they decide to make a mission out of it. Finding the wife and son turns out to be relatively easy. Convincing them that returning to earth is a good idea is harder. Getting through the security arrangements is toughest of all...until some difficult choices have to be made.Fire and Water - Shortly after the SG1 team departs on a mission, three survivors struggle back through the gate. Daniel was killed in a volcano and the team is mourning him. They have a difficult time coming to terms with his death but something strikes them all as being wrong. They keep having flashbacks. It turns out that they are having false memories of his death, implanted by an alien who wanted to keep Daniel. He values his historical knowledge and wants to find out what happened to his wife...in ancient Babylon.The Nox - A government bureaucrat inspected the stargate facility expresses his disappointment that the return on investment for the stargate program is not sufficient and threatens to shut it down. When Teal'c mentions a planet with an invisible hummingbird (with big teeth) they figure that capturing one and learning about invisibility would be a useful stunt and keep the program going. When they arrive at the planet, though, the find that the ghouls are there hunting the same bird. They also encounter a race of beings that seems like a cross between flower children, elves and certain varieties of hippies. When the team is killed by the ghouls, the Nox (elvish beings) bring them back to life. They also restore one of the ghoul carriers and therein lies the problem. The Nox refuse to allow the capture of detainment of the carrier so the SG1 team is afraid that he will bring the ghouls back to hunt these beings. They want to help and defend them but the elves will abide no violence, even in their defense. That sets the situation up for a conflict of missions, loyalties and right and wrong.Hathor - An archeological team investigating a pyramid in Mexico finds an Egyptian sarcophagus and is then mysteriously killed. When the SG1 team investigates, a woman who knows all about the stargate shows up and claims to be the Egyptian fertility goddess, Hathor. She is possessed by one of the ghouls but she does have a way with men. She seems glad to learn of Ra's death and worms her way into control of the Stargate facility. Men are affected, by Capt. Clark is not. It turns out that she has her own nefarious plans.Cor-Ai - When the SG1 team visits a new world, Teal'c reveals that he has been there before and that the planet is one where the ghouls often go to recruit hosts. What is worse, when the natives show up, they recognize Teal'c as the man who killed one of their fathers. They capture him and put him on trial for his crimes. The SG1 team acts as his defense counsel but the fix is in. The judge is the son of the slain man. Things are not as simple as they seem. Teal'c had a reason for killing the man. His actions likely saved many of the villagers but getting them to understand that is difficult. Things get worse when the politicians back home refuse to mount a rescue expedition.Singularity - The SG1 teams heads for a planet to watch an eclipse of a black hole. When they get there, they find everyone including the SG7 team dead of some sort of plague. Quarantine procedures are put into effect and then the SG1 team finds a single survivor, a young girl. She is taken back through the gate to earth and is found to have a mysterious immunity. It seems to be conferred by the same element from which the stargate is made and which is floating around in her blood. Capt. Clark immediately goes into "protective mommy" mode and the rest of the crew gets just about as protective. They all get worried when she gets sick. Closer examination reveal an alien artifact made of the same mineral lodged near her heart. The problem is that it is decaying and Teal'c recognizes it as a bomb to destroy the stargate. Observation reveals a ghoul ship hovering over the planet waiting to see the stargate destroyed. Everyone is horrified when they realize that all the people killed by the plague on the planet and the little girl serving as a human nuclear bomb are just part of a plot to destroy the earth's gate. To make matters worse, it looks like the girl is going to explode on schedule. If this episode does not set off protective parental instincts, you should avoid being around children...any children.Enigma - The SG1 team arrives on a planet in the midst of volcanic convulsions. They are about ready to bug out when they notice human bodies lying about. Some of the bodies are alive and a rescue is effected. They are surprised to learn that the survivors are not all that pleased to be rescued. It turns out that they have stumbled upon a team from an advanced civilization. They are very reticent to answer any questions about themselves or their culture. This is for the protection of lesser civilizations. Meanwhile, a power mad intelligence type wants to keep the refugees as prisoners in the hope that they might provide technological advancements. The situation is complicated when one of the refugees falls for Capt. Clark.Tin Man - The team arrives on a technologically advance but seemingly deserted planet. After they encounter a strange beam of light, a crazy old man shows up. He seems very glad to see them. He might well be since he has been alone for 11,000 years. Though he is happy with their presence, he won't answer their questions. Seeming to have nothing further to gain, they leave for home. When they return home, the medical exam reveals something strange. They are all androids. Everyone freaks out. Eventually, they do return only to find that the crazy old man had replicated them in order to have some company and help in maintaining the place. Oh...and they can't go home and survive.Solitudes - Not long after leaving for a new planet, the team comes stumbling back. They have been in a firefight and have just barely made it. More accurately, some of them made it. Daniel and Teal'c came through but the colonel and the captain are missing. It seems that they are stranded on an ice planet, wounded and short on supplies. Power got interrupted on their transit and they wound up somewhere else. It turns out they are much closer than everyone assumes but it is a matter of time before time runs out.There But for the Grace of God - The SG1 team pops into a fairly highly advanced world that is deserted. Teal'c finds a sign that the ghouls have destroyed this world and irradiated it making it dangerous to stay. The Colonel tells everyone to saddle up and head home but Daniel is busy meddling with some artifacts and touches something that causes a slight shock. When he heads back for the stargate, everyone is missing. He dials home himself, returns to Earth and finds things very strange. He is not recognized and the Earth is currently under attack by ghoul forces. They are systematically destroying all resistance and there is not much they can do to stop them. He has stumbled into an alternate reality. Daniel has some information that may save his version of earth. To do so, however, this version of the colonel (a general) will have to do some powerful negotiating with the commander of the ghoul forces...Teal'c.Politics - This one is a retrospective episode. The only significant new part of the story is Daniel's return from the last episode. He bears dire warnings of an imminent invasion but nobody believes him. They are also distracted by a senator who wants to cut the SG budget. He holds some secret hearings so that he can shut down the program. He doesn't believe there is any threat and the episode is mostly taken up by flashbacks from previous episodes.Within the Serpent's Grasp - The season finale is cliffhanger. Stargate Command is about to be shut down in a few days due to political buffoonery. Daniel's warning that the ghoul attack fleet is on the way goes unheeded. The SG1 team decides to take unauthorized action. They use the coordinates brought back by Daniel a few episodes back and find themselves aboard a ghoul ship. It is one of the ships heading for earth. As the season closes, the fate of Earth is in the balance.

“Stargate: SG-1” builds upon “Stargate,” the 1994 film by Roland Emmerich loosely inspired by Erich von Däniken’s “Chariots of the Gods,” which argued that aliens built the pyramids. In the series, Richard Dean Anderson replaces Kurt Russell as Colonel Jack O’Neill and Michael Shanks replaces James Spader as Dr. Daniel Jackson. Where in the film the two traveled to the planet Abydos and defeated an alien masquerading as the Egyptian god Ra, the series explains that the Stargate can offer travel to many different planets and that Ra was but one of many aliens, called Goa’uld, who visited Earth in the past and took on the personalities of the ancient gods and goddesses.In addition to Colonel O’Neill and Dr. Jackson, the series introduces Christopher Judge as Teal’c, an alien once in service to the Goa’uld Apophis who decided to fight for his peoples’ freedom from false gods, and Captain Samantha Carter, a military scientist who worked on figuring out how the Stargate functions. Together, the four are members of SG-1, the flagship team of Stargate Command that engages in reconnaissance missions to explore different worlds and make allies in the fight against the Goa’uld. Stargate Command is led by General George Hammond, portrayed by Don S. Davis. These characters, and the actors portraying them, helped make the show the success it was and attracted fans around the world. While the television series includes several characters from the film, such as Catherine Langford, Kawalsky, Ferretti, and Sha’uri/Sha’re, only Erick Avari and Alexis Cruz reprise their roles as Kasuf and Skaara, respectively.This first season establishes the main characters, the primary antagonist, and does an extensive amount of world-building. Episodes like “The Broca Divide,” “The Nox,” “Thor’s Hammer,” and “Enigma” help to introduce different aliens and cultures that recur throughout the series. “The First Commandment,” “Cold Lazarus,” and “Cor-ai” tell classic science fiction stories exploring the meaning of humanity, morality, and justice. “The Torment of Tantalus” and “There But for the Grace of God” explore alien technology and how it shifts humans’ perspective on the universe. For a first season of a television series, the show has a great many excellent episodes that not only laid the groundwork for what comes later but that still hold up well on their own. The only two weak episodes are “Emancipation,” which is full of cultural stereotypes in an effort to tell a story about gender roles (not unlike “Code of Honor” from the first season of “Star Trek: The Next Generation,” both of which were written by Katharyn Powers), and “Politics,” which inexplicably follows a clip-show format for the season’s penultimate episode. New viewers may find some elements dated, as the show was set in the years it aired with the first season taking place in 1997-1998, but the early reliance on Earth technology helps the audience ease into the more sci-fi aspects as the series develops.This DVD set includes bonus features like a Cast and Crew Featurette Profiles on General Hammond and Captain Carter, Behind the Scenes with the Producers, and a Costume Design Featurette. It also includes the original pilot episode, as opposed to the 2009 “Final Cut,” which altered some of the visual effects and re-cut scenes. While much of the show is intended for all audiences with mild action violence, the pilot features nudity that parents may not want to watch with their children.

Nach so langer Zeit ist Stargate auf Prime verfügbar. Dazu will ich euch meinen Senf auch dalassen. Ich bin Fan. Schon Ewigkeiten. Deswegen besitze ich auch eine gesamt Sammelbox (die mit Stargate vorne drauf) und die Silberne Serie der Staffeln. Weswegen ich hier nur die Serie selber bewerte und nur die Umstände rundherum erläutere ohne es zu werten.🔝👌 𝑺𝑻𝑨𝑹𝑮𝑨𝑻𝑬 𝑰𝑺𝑻 𝑼𝑵𝑫 𝑩𝑳𝑬𝑰𝑩𝑻 𝑬𝑰𝑵𝑭𝑨𝑪𝑯 𝑮𝑬𝑵𝑰𝑨𝑳! 👌🔝Egal wann und wo die Serie läuft, man bleibt hängen. Selbst wenn man die Folge schon 100x gesehen hat. Bietet sie einem immer noch jede Menge Si-Fi, Spannung, Spaß und Unterhaltung mit TOP Star-Besetzung ala MacGyver-Star Richard Dean Anderson und Michael Shanks und vielen mehr, die besser nicht hätte sein können und mega-tollen Geschichten die uns von den Filmen über Staffel 1 bis Staffel 10 führen! 🌎☄️💥👽👽👽👽👽Unvergessliche Jack-Daniel-Momente, genauso wie Teal'c - O'neill Momente die als Fan das Herz höher schlagen lassen.Ich sag nur: "Nein Sir, wir können sie nicht Enterprise nennen!"⚠️⚠️⚠️𝐃𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐢𝐛𝐭 𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞 𝐦𝐢𝐭 𝐊𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐤𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐭𝐞 𝐯𝐨𝐧 𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐧 𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐥 𝐦𝐞𝐡𝐫 𝐀𝐮𝐟𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐤𝐬𝐚𝐦𝐤𝐞𝐢𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐤𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐧,...⚠️⚠️⚠️und damit komme ich zu diesem Teil:‼️WAS macht man mit so einer tollen Serie? - Sie zu horrenden Preisen auf Prime im MGM-Channel zu "verscherbeln"? ⁉️ Schade, schade, schade... da blutet einem das Fan-Herz. Zwar hab ich die Testversion des Channels genutzt, doch diesen auch wieder gekündigt, weil sonst kaum was interessantes darin zu finden ist. Für mich wäre es einzig und alleine Stargate. Und wenn ich das komplett sehen will, leg ich notfalls die DVD ein in die Playstation.Wer um Himmels Willen kauft denn neben Prime, Disney und Netflix noch eigene Channels dazu nur um Nischenprodukte oder alte Sachen zu Gesicht zu bekommen? Da wäre mit einem "in Prime enthalten" weitaus mehr Fanmobilisierung erreicht worden. Und sollte auch nur ein Hauch dran sein, dass Stargate zu Disney kommt, kann ich für die nur hoffen, dass Stargate in Disney Star zu sehen sein wird - OHNE EXTRAKOSTEN. Das kann sich doch keine normale Familie leisten. Alles und jeden Streamingdienst zu ordern.🙏 𝐃𝐀𝐒 𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐃𝐈𝐄𝐒𝐄 𝐓𝐎𝐋𝐋𝐄 𝐒𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐄 𝐁𝐄𝐈 𝐖𝐄𝐈𝐓𝐄𝐌 𝐍𝐈𝐂𝐇𝐓 𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐃𝐈𝐄𝐍𝐓! ☝️Vermutlich würde sie in einem der Anbieter viel mehr Fans anziehen. Alte so wie neue. Und genau auf das hoffe ich. Das Fandome wieder aufleben und wachsen lassen zu können. 𝐃𝐞𝐧𝐧 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐆𝐀𝐓𝐄 𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐞𝐬 𝐝𝐚𝐬 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐭!Lassen wir uns überraschen, was die Zukunft bringt. Hoffentlich mehr von Stargate - auch bei uns in Europa. Es braucht vielleicht nur einen neuen Blickwinkel und das Vertrauen, dass die Serie so gut ist, wie einst. Dann wird es laufen. Nur bitte: 𝐋𝐀𝐒𝐒𝐓 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐆𝐀𝐓𝐄 𝐍𝐈𝐂𝐇𝐓 𝐈𝐍 𝐃𝐄𝐑 𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐄𝐍𝐊𝐔𝐍𝐆 𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐂𝐇𝐖𝐈𝐍𝐃𝐄𝐍! - Es wäre wirklich schade drum!Was die DVDs betrifft, könnte man ja auch ewig schreiben. Aber das erspare ich euch. Da bieten sämtliche andere Bewertungen genug Infos dazu.Also da bleibt mir nur noch zu sagen: Jaffa, Kree! Guckt brav weiter Stargate und 🖖

I am being unfair. After ordering this item, I bought the whole series from a local shop.Im sure its fine, but no longer needed.

Ich habe mir diese erste Staffel und auch die zweite mit ein wenig Bauchweh bestellt, da die Rezensionen zum Inhalt ja nicht so toll ausgefallen sind. Von wegen Folgen von Staffel 1 auf Ende von Staffel 2 gepresst und lieblose Aufmachung der DVD-Covers.Nach gewohnt schneller Lieferung (hab gleich Staffel 1-3 bestellt)habe ich natürlich gleich einen Blich auf die Zusammenfassung auf der Rückseite Box 1 geworfen. Dort sind die Folgen in richtiger Reihenfolge aufgeführt, auch bei Staffel 2. Ab Staffel 3 sind sie ja sowieso richtig gepresst worden.aber den Berichten einiger entäuschter Kunden zufolge heißt da ja nix. Also Box auf und DVD in den Player. Dabei fiel mir der einzige Minus-Punkt auf, den ich bis jetzt gefunden habe und zwar die Verpackung. Alle Scheiben liegen übereinander. Man muss alle "angrabbeln", um an eine der unteren zu kommen. Um evl. DVD-Bruch zu vermeiden, sind meine ersten 3 Staffeln schon in je eine komfortable 6-Bett-Hülle umgezogen. Ansonsten kann ich nur sagen, alles ist so, wie es sein sollte. Die Cover der Scheiben seblst sind einheitlich gestaltet (Staffel 1 weicht etwas ab, ist aber in sich auch einheitlich), die Menue-Führung ist unspektakulär und einfach aber dem Thema entsprechend und völlig ausreichend. Die Folgen sind IN DER RICHTIGEN REIHENFOLGE!!!! gepresst und machen im 16:9-Format auf einem entsprechnenden TV richtig Spass. Zum Ton kann ich nichts sagen, da meine Surround-Anlage noch nie richtig funktioniert hat (war halt billig!!!), aber die Spuren an sich scheinen gut zu sein, man muss im Bezug auf normales TV-Programm nicht unbedingt lauter machen. (Bei manchen DVDs muss man das ja ganz extrem.)Abschließend kann ich nun nur vermuten, dass Sony/MGM (Germany??) der Reihenfolgen-Fehler selbst aufgefallen ist und sie Staffel 1 und 2 noch mal überarbeitet haben oder es gibt von den einzelnen Staffel-Boxen mehr als nur 2 Versionen (Einzel-Box und im 10-Staffel-Pack) und man muss Glück haben, die "richtige" zu bekommen. Vielleich kann mir (und anderen interessierten Kunden) dazu sogar jemand aus dem Haus AMAZON eine Antwort geben.Ich jedenfalls habe mich über die Gestaltung und Pressung der Scheiben sehr gefreut und werde in kurzer Zeit auch den Rest der Saga anschaffen.
