Stargate SG-1: The Complete Series(TV) (1997-2007)Super clean picture 10 seasons, 214 episodes 127 hours of Bonus content : Includes Special Features Including Extended Episodes, Behind-scenes Extras, And Commentaries With The Cast And Crew! "Stargate SG-1" picks up where the blockbuster film left off. Colonel Jack O'Neill (Richard Dean Anderson, "MacGyver") and his SG-1 team -- Daniel Jackson (Michael Shanks, "Suddenly Naked"), Teal'c (Christopher Judge, "A Dog's Breakfast"), and Captain Samantha Carter (Amanda Tapping, "Life or Something Like It") -- set out to explore the mysteries of the Stargate. Each exciting mission through the gate takes the SG-1 team to new worlds in a seemingly boundless universe. Boasting incredible special effects sequences, rapid-fire pacing and awesome scenes of alien warfare, "Stargate SG-1" is your gateway to pulse-pounding, sci-fi action. Ben Browder, Claudia Black, Corin Nemec, Don S. Davis, and Beau Bridges also star in the series which became a worldwide phenomenon and a science fiction classic.

As the series opens on the card game (reminiscent of the final scene from Star Trek: The Next Generation; one wonders if that was the writers surreptitiously passing themselves the Sci-Fi torch), the sense of low quality and substandard resolution is obvious. Even as the season is presented at 1080p, it looks fairly…pedestrian. It's "watchable" in the crudest sense of the word but struggles to hold tight detail and could be described as bordering on DVD quality at this point. Fine detailing and high yield textures are scant at very best and essentially nonexistent. Faces and location details are flat, offering not even a hint of intricacy, intimacy, or depth. Seasons two and three see essentially the same aesthetic, but by the beginning of season four one can see at least a very mild increase in detail and sharpness. Color output is poor, too. There's very little punch or pop. Practically the entire spectrum is flat, whether Air Force blues, green military fatigues, desert terrain, or the steely gray and blue compound where the Stargate is housed. Blacks are murky and soupy and skin tones are terribly pasty. Heavy banding is a serious problem and appears with great frequency through much of the series, improving only mildly in the final three seasons. The early seasons are particularly bad – egregious, even – rendering many backgrounds looking like digital swirls. Macroblocking is evident across numerous shots, scenes, and sequences, as is aliasing on areas like vent slats on computers or the outer hull of a submarine seen partway through the fourth season's first episode. Jagged edges are commonplace, too. None of these problems are anywhere near so destructive as the banding, though. Season eight and onward show a moderate uptick in quality, more so than any gains in previous seasons. Overall clarity and sharpness are improved, removing the egregious softness and replacing it with a serviceable HD image that is further improved by decent color gains, improving output for vibrancy, depth, and detail. The last three seasons offer what amounts to a passable, perhaps even bordering on typical for TV HD, but the first seven seasons drag the set's score down quite a bit. Those early seasons would rank around the 1.0-1.5 mark, the mid seasons probably 2.0, the last three maybe 2.5 or generously 3.0. There's a lot of content on a lot of discs. VEI hasn't gone the extra mile, or even an extra quarter mile. Videophiles will balk and even casual audiences will spot the extreme banding and low resolution visuals, but hopefully fans will become engrossed in the show and forget about the substandard video quality on their screens. Stargate SG-1: The Complete Series Blu-ray, Audio QualitySG-1 features two audio options: lossy Dolby Digital 2.0 and 5.1 tracks. Every episode defaults to the Dolby Digital 2.0 track unless it's switched manually in-episode or at the main menu screen under the "set up" tab, which appears on the left, away from the episode lists, and under the Stargate. In the 5.1 configuration, the track doesn't often take advantage of the surround channels, particularly in the early seasons. As the series opens, the gate activates and a firefight ensues with little, if any, identifiable surround usage and not a whole lot of depth or detail for that matter. It's a fairly flat sonic signature, one that does nothing to draw the listener into the scene or inspire much confidence for anything to come. The same may be said as the opening theme plays over the opening titles. It's wide along the front but listeners would be hard- pressed to note any surround activity. Detail suffices and it's probably the best audio cue in the first several seasons. Later season theme playback offers more expression across the front and even through the back, but that comes with a price: a bit of a hard edge and a clear lack of precision detail. The back channels pick up during the sequences when the gate is activated, the same warp effect from the movie. There's little depth, though, with limited surround usage and nowhere near the same sense of power the film's Blu-ray delivers with its 7.1 lossless during a scene with the same effect. Gunplay and other high intensity action elements are hit or miss. There are several action scenes in season three's premiere episode. It's nicely wide and delivers capable surround and low end extension, though it is unquestionably lacking the clarity and punch the scenes really need to sonically excel. Gunfire and ship battle sequences improve for dynamic range and detail over time. A dogfight over Antarctica to start season nine offers decently impressive zip and surround integration, but once again commanding clarity is obviously lacking. Light atmosphere around various locales is passably integrated, with everything else finding more definition as the series moves along, particularly to its late seasons. Dialogue is clear enough and positioned in the center for the duration. Stargate SG-1: Other Seasons
