DVD Reviews of Stargate SG-1 Season 8 (Thinpak)

DVD Review: Not as good as previous seasons but still entertaining
Summary: 4 Stars

This season was the last season you saw Richard Dean Anderson in the show on a regular basis. I am not a Richard Dean Anderson fan prior to his Stargate years but after watching the first 7 seasons in a two month period I became one pretty fast. This show has a great cast that is equally matched with entertaining storylines and equally great special effects that were on par with movies. Though this season is not as good as the first seven I was still pretty satisfied in the long run.

DVD Review: They're all awesome so far...
Summary: 5 Stars

Of course it was still better with Hammond and O'Neil as an SG1 member and not a general, but the plots are still interesting and engaging.

DVD Review: More for the retailer...Some wear was an understatement!!
Summary: 2 Stars

Box looked like it had sat in an open window for a year before being shippied to me...water and UV damage to the box was extensive...Discs look fine though.

DVD Review: Stargate, Season 8, thinpak
Summary: 5 Stars

I enjoy shows that have a lot of action, but no foul language nor sex. Stargate SG-1 are some of the best shows around. The Acting is superb, the Plotlines keep your interest, and the Special Effects are excellent. Also, I enjoy the thinpaks because they take up a lot less space on my DVD shelves.

DVD Review: Stargate Season 8
Summary: 5 Stars

Season 8 has alot of fun episodes in it. I was very excited to purchase this product and enjoy it each time I put in one of the DVD's to watch an episode. If you like Stargate, Season 8 will be right up your alley!

Description of Stargate SG-1 Season 8 (Thinpak)

STARGATE SG-1 DVD:8TH SSN V1: Episode #8.1: New Order Part 1 - When Carter and Teal'c fly to the Asgard world of Hala in hopes of finding a way to revive O'Neill, they are attacked by Replicators, who take Carter prisoner. Meanwhile, Dr. Weir and Daniel Jackson attempt to negotiate a treaty with Goa'uld System Lords who wish to unite against a common enemy. Episode #8.2: New Order Part 2 - The Goa'uld send a mothership to Earth, demanding that it prove its superior defenses. As Dr. Weir applies her most expert diplomatic tactics, Daniel and the still unconscious body of Colonel O'Neill are unexpectedly beamed aboard Thor's ship, where Thor tries to access the knowledge of the Ancients. Episode #8.3: Lock Down - When Jackson contracts a mysterious illness from a Russian colonel, O'Neill is convinced that a contagion has infected the base and orders a lockdown. But when Jackson reveals that he was actually possessed by Anubis, who is now loose on the base, O'Neill must discover the identity of the new host! Episode #8.4: Zero Hour - O'Neill finds his plate full with a visit from the president and negotiations between two warring tribes from the planet Amra. But when SG-1 is captured by a Goa'uld System Lord and he's forced to choose between the safety of the team and the fate of an entire planet, O'Neill begins to question his competency!
The beat goes on for Stargate SG-1 in this five-disc set containing all 20 episodes from the show's eighth season. If that beat is now a bit more faint than in previous years, that's not particularly surprising when a franchise has been around this long; what's more, if Season 8 has some fairly odd aspects to it ("Threads," which appears to have been planned as the final episode of the entire series, is followed by two more in this set alone. not to mention an unexpected renewal that led to an all-new Season 9), that too isn't exactly unusual in the wacky world of series television.

Some significant changes are apparent in Season 8. Jack O'Neill (series star Richard Dean Anderson) has been promoted to Brigadier General and is now top dog (as he puts it, the guy who "spent my whole life stickin' it to the man" now is the man). The existence of the stargate, an artificially created "wormhole" through which one can instantly travel to different worlds light years away from Earth, is no longer a well-guarded secret. And Stargate Command itself now exists primarily to "develop new weapons and technologies to defend the planet" from our various alien antagonists--principally the "Replicators," relentless little bug-machines poised to take over not only Earth but the entire galaxy.

The rest of the SG-1 core cast (Amanda Tapping, Christopher Judge, and Michael Shanks) is intact. But whereas Anderson, who has steadily reduced his role in the show, wasn't much missed in Season 7, one wishes there were more of him this time around; O'Neill's general insouciance and aversion to techno-speak are a welcome antidote to the kind of sci-fi gobbledygook (discussions about "a time dilation field on the planet Hala" and such) that now threatens to take precedence over the action and fine special effects that distinguished earlier seasons. Most of all, while there are still all manner of villains (Anubis, Ba'al, the ever-present Goa'uld) to contend with, as well as a few good guys (the Asgard, the rebel Jaffa) to help our heroes fight the good fight, Stargate SG-1's writers and creators may be running out of steam. Hence we get an episode like the very peculiar "Citizen Joe," featuring Dan Castellaneta as an average guy who sees "visions" (i.e., clips from past episodes) of the SG-1 team in action and becomes obsessed with proving that the whole stargate project really exists; an uneasy combination of self-parody and self-congratulation, this episode, while not unamusing, sticks out like a sore thumb.

Bonus features include audio commentary (mostly by the various directors) on 19 of the 20 episodes, along with photo galleries and one featurette per disc. --Sam Graham
