It gets much better...

I'd really like to give the first season of SG-1 3.5 stars, but not having that option, I'm rounding up.

Basically, as others have stated, the 1st season of the long running hit series, Stargate SG-1, isn't its best, and by a long shot. While it's still very entertaining for the most part, there are some out-and-out stinkers, like the preachy Emancipation. In fact, the first dozen episodes or so try to emulate Star Trek in traveling to a new world each episode, dealing with the new civilization they find while delivering some social moral. It's only after they abandon that conceit and concentrate on the main plotline of the Goa'uld threat that the stories become more compelling.

Fortunately for the show, in spite of the uneven early writing, the cast really shines through. The characters are extremely likeable, and their chemistry seems unforced, and is infectious. There is an easy humor that flows through the dialogue, and a sense of not taking itself too seriously. In the end, it's a fun, and fairly addictive show that gets far better in the later seasons.

A New Convert! I'm A Believer!

I have become a new fan of this series recently, and it is by watching season one. I was very surprised how well done this series is. It is so good, I couldn't stop watching and I have watched about seven episodes a day. So I finished this season really fast. The acting is excellent and the stories are always interesting with a twist in almost every episode. I like how this season reveals more and more background stories to the characters we were introduced to in the movie Stargate. This is a must have for every sci-fi fan. I'm just sad that I didn't become a fan sooner, this series is fantastic. I haven't seen the other seasons yet, but I can't wait to start watching season two. If this is considered to just be an average season by fans, I can't wait to see what's to come because I know it will be awesome. Get it! You will love it!

In galaxies far far away

I thouroughly enjoyed this first season of Stargate and the inventive ways the cast and writers set up the parameters for the continuation and elaboration of the movie. The acting is convincing and satisfying, the premisises are believeable and the treatment of modern issuses within the framework of the stories is well handled. Look out though, just as you are fully hooked, the season ends with a three part cliff hanger that won't be solved until season two. A very well laid out collection in every dimension. Most enjoyable.

Better than I thought it'd be

An associate of mine has every season of this series and raves about it. He's been lending them to me for a month now, and I must admit, the series is somewhat addictive. I have all the Star Trek NG collection, and the Stargate series is less "even" than STNG, but the same can be said of most TV series. One thing I have noticed...There certainly are a lot of Alien Worlds that very much resemble Southwestern British Columbia. Hmmm...
My seven year old daughter is now a dedicated fan of Stargate.
