I love linking stories - By: , 19 Jul 2004
This is season 5, & it is a bit different from season 1-4. The reason for this is that this season links various previous episodes together. I happen to love this, I love it when old characters are returned to us, & that seemingly unimportant episode that you watched a few years ago suddenly becomes oh so important.
However, from reading the reviews on here I see that this isnt everyones cup of tea. So, for me I give it 5 stars because I would like to see much much more of this sort of thing, the story lines are strong, they dont let the previous seasons stories down whilst extending them.
Just so you reallly get the picture, you can go about 5 or 6 episodes in a row with the words "previously on Stargate SG1" although they are alll continued from different episodes/seasons.
Stargate Season 5 overview - By: , 17 Jun 2004
The season starts well with Teal'c going back to serve his former master. But sadly after that some of the story lines go awol.

This is propably due to the off going problems at the time & with the shows future uncertain at the time did not help matters.

The special effects are good & there are some good action sequences throughout which are the seasons remdemming features.

The storylines are not as strong as season 3 & 4, but there are still some good episodes like the spoof episode, "Wormhole Extreme". Some endings leave a lot to be desired with a good build up of tension in "Last summit" & "stand" only for the storyline to end leaving you feeling short changed.

The same applies to season 6. But I have heard that season 7 was superb & the shows future secure for an 8 season & the spin off Atlantis, so the future looks bright. So hopefully seasons 5 & 6 will be the only bilps.

Good buy at an knock down price.

Not the Best of... - By: C. I. Lowdon, 22 Oct 2003
Season 5 is where the franchise does indeed finallly begin to show it's true colours. Episodes come together to form interlocking storylines, no longer standing alone. That's right, there are storylines running fom one episode to the next & different cast members have different storylines. In other words, Stargate SG-1 becomes a soap opera.

This is a shame, because the acting, characterisations & special effects are still superb - if they were not, a much lower rating would be appropriate. Offscreen cast conflicts may have been to blame for the necessity of writing separate & ongoing storylines. Perhaps the producers should have callled it a day after season 4. It is unfortunate that commercial wants have overridden artistic needs.

Having said that, there are some fine moments. Perhaps the best of these is the 100th episode, with its mock TV show which manages to make some good points about extraterrestrial life as well as delightfully sending up the whole concept.

If you want to buy seasons of Stargate SG-1, make this the last you get. Get alll the others first. That way you wont be disappointed.
