Stargate SG-1: Season 4
There were quite a few Earth-based stories in the year, but not all the new enemies were originally local. Willie Garson comically guest-starred as Martin, a geekily suspicious guy with too much knowledge of the Stargate. More sinister was an old flame of Daniel's turning into something far more painful than an old wound (thanks to an ancient Egyptian curse). Thankfully, the writers hadn't forgotten the importance of one-off storylines too. In "Upgrades" the team learns a lesson in abuse of power. In "The Other Side" (featuring DS9's Rene Auberjonois) they learn about blind trust. In "Scorched Earth" a dangerous claim for a planet's ownership means they learn to value Daniel's contribution to the group dynamic. If only this last lesson were learned better, season 5 might not have ended up as muddled as it did. --Paul Tonks

Amazon.co.uk Review
It wasn't until the beginning of Stargate SG-1's fourth season that fans knew to take the Replicator threat seriously. The spidery nasties had only seemed like one of many new enemies introduced in previous years. But when the one seemingly omnipotent backbone of the galaxy was asking Earth for help, clearly we were in real trouble! In fact, the team's list of enemies expanded and got far more complicated this year. Proving without a shadow of a doubt that this is science fiction, the Russians reveal they have their own Stargate program and ask the Americans for help. This twist allows for exploration of all the political machinations occurring behind the scenes of the SG-C, all of which appear to stem from the embittered Senator Kinsey (Ronny Cox).
And the adventure continues

As the adventure continues sg1 start to have some of the most classic adventures than in any other scfi show in small victories we see how they cope with the replicator threat that started in last seasons cliffhanger nemisis also we have a dab at time travel twice 1st in window of oppertunity in which O'neil and Teal'c find themselves repeating the same day over and over and in the classic 2010 in which it is 2010 and earth is at peace with a race of aliens called the aschen but the treaty does'nt seem to be going as well as it looks in absolute power we continue the story about the harsisus child in which Daniel gets to look at life in a completely different way the episode tangent about an experiment with a new fighter craft that goes awry and exodus in which we start another cliffhanger in which we will see Apothis (Peter Williams)return to cause havoc for sg1 and the torkra yet again.
All in all yet another great season boxset and a must have!

Love it, fantastic, lots of good stuff!

Love this DVD box set. I once thought box set like these won't be sold cheaply, guess I was wrong when I came to Amazon.co.uk. The price comparison is very significant. At WHSmiths or Woolworths in Pontypridd, a box set like this cost around £50-£60. While down at Amazon it costs about £20. I find that a good bargain.
Only one episode I remember which I'm not very please of is that the writers decided to have Share, wife of goody Daniel Jackson, killed by staff weapon again. This time it was Teal'c who pulled the trigger. I believe Teal'c is not that stupid enough to waste so many precious seconds just to prime his staff, standing there doing nothing for a few more seconds and then killed her. Teal'c did this to save Daniel. The episode is Forever in the Day.
If you watched that scene where Daniel is fighting with Share's symbiote inside the tent, you would have seen Teal'c has enough time to both save Daniel and Share; rushing into the tent and beating down Share, giving her some ugly facial surgery. I think this is one of the reasons why the makers of this show decided to have Share killed. I guess showing scenes of women being beaten would offend some sensitive people.
Brill!

I don't really like all that sci-fi stuff but Stargate is the exception. It has got to be the best programme ever. I only started watching at the beginning of Season 9 and loved it. I have all of the DVDs that are out and I can't wait for Season 8. Season 4 has got to be the best stargate season ever as it has a mixture of Goa'uld and replicators so its not only about one main threat.
Best yet!

In my opinion this is the best Stargate SG1 series made. Starting with the conclusion to 'Nemesis' tackling the Replicators alongside the Asgard and ending with encountering the mechanical bugs again, dealing with the Tok'Ra, Goa'uld technology, supposed alies and the Harseces child in between. A huge variety of storylines and some of the best one liners from Jack O'Neill, with the inclusion of some great extras and behind the scenes footage. My personal favourites in the series are Small Victories, Upgrades, Window of Opportunity - bet you thought you'd never see Teal'c golfing through the Stargate! - 2010 and Prodigy. Well worth the money as ever with the Stargate SG1 team.
Stargate Is The Best!
Review date: 2005-03-26 Rating: 10 out of 10
I am a massive Stargate fan(although i am not into any other sci-fi) and am aiming to have all the Stargate season boxsets. So far I have seasons 1,3,4 and 7 but I think the 4th is deffinitely the best by far.
In the 4th season there are some great episodes like the hilarious, and in my opinion one of the best episodes ever,Window of Oppurtunity, 2010 and the season cliff-hanger finale, Exodus which is also Michael Shanks's directing debut. Chemistry between O'Neil and Carter really begins to show and this is the first box-set to include special features like previews and cast diaries and i don't usually bother with things like that but these extra features are actually pretty good.
So for any Stargate fans, you have to get this season boxset. Also, the price is so great, its worth getting even if you you only want to see a few of the episodes. A great buy.
