Fans
of Stargate SG-1 can now purchase the entire fourth
season as one complete boxset. This collection is basically
the six discs that were originally released, but now inserted
into a rather attractive cardboard box.
Season
four, arguably the best season to date, gets off to a great
start with Small Victories - a wonderful Replicator
story which neatly concludes the season three cliff hanger
Nemesis. Just why Hasbro, or some other toy company,
has not introduced Replicator building sets escapes me. These
would be perfect Lego-style kits which would be so easy to
market.
Guest
stars in the fourth season include Star Trek's Rene
Auberjonois and Marina Sirtis. And episodes of merit include
Window of Opportunity (a Groundhog Day style
episode); Tangent - where O'Neill and Teal'c are trapped
in a Goa'uld/human hybrid space ship; and 2010 which
is set 10 years into the future - remeber these episodes were
originally screened back in 2000.
Point
of no Return sees the first Martin Lloyd episode (The
Trapped) and it wasn't until I viewed this episode this
time around that I realised how much the buried space craft
looks like a giant toilet with the seat left up. This episode
is incredibly funny - poking fun at the anorak brigade. And
fans of this episode to know that Martin appears again in
season five.
The
Curse, while being a fairly good episode, has the problem
that some idiot on the DVD creative packaging team decided
they would ruin the whole episode by choosing the most inappropriate
picture on the DVD sleeve. Ruining a plot twist like this
was not just careless, but downright stupid - a bit like printing
a copy of Norman Bates dressed up as his mum on the cover
of the Psycho DVD. I strongly urge you to tightly close
your eyes before removing this disc from the box set.
There
are tons of extras including commentaries and actor's video
diaries which help to make this collection fantastic value
for money. All
in all this collection is a must buy for any serious SG-1
fan and the fact that the discs come in at around £10
each is even better news.
