    Despite the predictable conclusion, "Stargate SG-1," leaves many character threads dangling tantalizingly. If you aren't careful, this series could definitely hook you. [27 Jul 1997]

    The two-hour premiere is sort of fun, but the plot is nutty even by sci-fi standards.

It knows when to bring on the laughs and when to bring on the suspense. It knows when to break the tension and when to elevate it. It has relatable characters that are flawed despite the amazing situations they find themselves in.
    What i find most amazing is how there is so little romance in the show, it's not totally missing, but it isn't overhyped.
    Perhaps it is the ability to balance every aspect that allows it to become the longest running sci-fi show (until Smallville ends its run and overtake SG1)    … Full Review »

The acting on Stargate wasUnlike most of the reviewers here, I must be the only one to have actually watched other sci-fi shows. The acting on Stargate was embarrassing, the writing mediocre to poor, and the stories repetitive and simpleminded. Not to mention the silly costumes and "special" effects. Anyone who feels this is the "best" sci-fi series out there needs an injection of taste or to seriously broaden their horizons. The humor of the show is to be laughed at, not with. The original Battlestar Galactica from the 1970's is better than this joke of a series, but it seems only "fans" choose to comment. Snap out of it.… Full Review »
