This five-disc DVD set encompasses the complete second season of Stargate SG-1 in impressive fashion. This material works much better in series form, with each actor able to expand their character gradually during a larger time frame. The effects do look artificial sometimes, but they still are remarkable considering the limitations of the format and budget. The writers actually remember past episodes, and it has more of an ongoing story feeling than a show like Star Trek. Anderson brings considerable charisma to O'Neill (more than Russell), and Tapping is especially believable as Captain Carter. Judge and Shanks also perform well, drawing emotional impact from possibly one-note individuals. - Dan Heaton
