    Reviews: Stargate SG-1 Season 9 DVD set (US)

    http://www.digitallyobsessed.com/sho...w.php3?ID=8968

    reviews the Season 9 SG1 DVD set

    excerpt:

    The ninth season of Stargate SG-1 was a transition year that allowed the writers to take the story in a new direction. This change obviously invigorated the cast and crew, but it leads to the show's weakest collection of episodes. While the current 10th season does offer some improvement, the Sci-Fi Channel has announced that this offering will be the series' last. If you're a Stargate novice, this set would not be your best choice for an introduction. However, it contains enough worthy moments to please devoted fans who continue to support the longest-running television series in sci-fi history.

    From Entertainment Weekly:

    Stargate SG-1
    Season 9
    Ben Browder, Amanda Tapping
    Unrated, 872 mins., 2005--06

    Call it the anti--Battlestar Galactica. Far less bleak and more accessible, Stargate SG-1 wraps up most story lines by each show's end; this is both comforting and captivating. And new cast member Browder injected much-needed life into a near-decade-old show.

    EXTRAS
    Commentary on all 20 eps. Plus Browder's take on replacing star Richard Dean Anderson: "He's the alpha and the omega. And if you are not addressing that issue, then you are sticking your head in the sand and pretending to be an ostrich." B

        I have to say, I'm really unimpressed that my Season 9 set (along with every other set sold here in Canada) now has FRENCH on the packaging. Not one of my previous sets has this, and it really wrecks things up. I'm a fan of Canadian bilingual-ness, but not on my bloody DVD packaging. What makes it all the more aggravating is that it's only on the box part--they spared us having it on the individual DVD cases. I very much doubt that Fox would be willing to send me an English-only box, so I'm probably going to have to Sharpie out the French, or else rebuy it in the US next time I'm there :/

                      Just got mine today! Yummy stuff! Love the subtitles and play all (as mentioned before). Audio commentaries are good. Extras lovely (as always).

                      But...

                      Does anyone know if they are going to release a 5-case gift set? Or perhaps they did and amazon just sent me the slimline one? All eigth of my other seasons are gift set edition. I'd like to have it match

                        It's great that somebody else reviewed season 9 at dvdtalk.com not the person who had reviewed season 8 last year and completely trashed Prometheus Unbound episode and Vala's character. I guess she didn't bother to watch season 9 at all this year...

                            My copy of Season 9, which I've had for over a month now, has commentaries on it, so I don't know what you're talking about.
