Stargate Merchandise Reviews

Reviews of Stargate Merchandise can be found here. If it’s related to SG-1, the Stargate movie, or Atlantis -- if it’s connected to Stargate and commercially available -- we’ll review it! We hope to be adding more reviews as time goes on. If you’d like to submit a review, please contact us!

Books

There are several different types of Stargate books available – officially licensed tie-in novel for the movie and a series of follow-up novels written by Bill McKay that follow the general outline of events that Devlin and Emmerich had intended to pursue in further movies. A series of early SG-1 tie-in novels written by Ashley McConnell that are available in the US and UK (and elsewhere) and a brand new series of SG-1 tie-in novels that are only licensed for publication in the UK. There are also episode guides available, a script book, and various non-fiction books.

City of the Gods by Sonny Whitelaw
Published by Fandemonium, Ltd.

Review by Ashton7:

First off, let me say that this review was originally posted at Amazon UK. Twice. Amazon UK passed it through their filters in two different incarnations and had no problems with it. Twice either the publishers of the book or someone on their behalf has asked Amazon UK to remove this review because it was a negative review of the book. My review was not the only review removed. There have been at least five or six others to date. No doubt with more to come. Since June 12th, every time a negative review of this book has been published on Amazon UK, it has stayed there only a few days before being removed. I hope that whomever is doing this realizes that they are creating far more negative publicity for this book than any number of negative reviews could have ever generated. As a matter of interest, I have only once before had a review removed from an Amazon site: it was a review of “Trial by Fire” by Sabine C. Bauer, also published by Fandemonium. When I reposted that review with a slight rewrite, it stayed there (the 2nd time around). The review for “Trial by Fire” that is below is slightly expanded from the one you will find on Amazon UK and a bit different.

The publishers of City of the Gods have gone out of their way to make this book sound like a dream come true for fans of Daniel Jackson – their descriptions of the novel’s content emphasize Daniel, they refer back to a well known and beloved Daniel Jackson episode, The Crystal Skull, and to add fuel to the fire of any Daniel lover’s heart, they promise that the book also contains a special section at the end with Daniel’s Mission Report and they even throw in a little hint that there is Jack and Daniel content in the book by referencing a scene between the two of them as if it is representative of the story contained in the book.

Nothing could be further from the truth. For one thing, the Jack and Daniel scene that the publishers, when questioned, claimed they used to describe the book because they considered it a “pivotal scene,” takes place on page 143 of a 220 page novel. It is not one scene of many between Jack and Daniel. It is one of the few times they interact in the entire novel and is, in fact, one of the few times they are in the same place at the same time. The scene is about a page in length and it takes place in a briefing room between all of SG-1. It is not a particularly compelling nor pivotal scene. Actually, every scene in the book which contains Daniel (or Teal’c, for that matter) has a forced air about it, as if the author didn’t want to write those characters at all and they just shoved them in there as some kind of afterthought. Given how much of the novel revolves around Sam Carter, I'm left wondering why all of the advertising for this book seems to revolve around Daniel Jackson and none of it so much as mentions Sam!

The majority of the book is, in fact, written from Sam Carter’s point of view. When it isn’t written from her point of view, it is usually written from the point of view of someone thinking about Sam Carter. Often they are thinking about how wonderful she is or how beautiful she is or they are wishing she was there … in short, this book is a romance, masquerading as a science fiction book. The romantic heroine is Sam Carter and therefore the entire universe revolves around her. Every once in awhile she pines after her commanding officer, Colonel Jack O’Neill (who sometimes stops to think about how she is his guardian angel or how lovely her hair looks when he really should be concentrating on the mission … but, like the author, I digress). Anyway, Sam spends a lot of time thinking about all the times she’s certain that Jack has let her know in the past – not in words, mind you – that he also pines after her.

Aside from the romantic, well, asides and subplot (if you want to call it that), the book quickly becomes a jumbled mess. The names are impossible to follow – most authors when dealing with difficult to pronounce foreign names simply translate them for their readers and use the translated names. This author chose to translate some of the native’s names (mainly the children Jack and Sam meet up with) and not others. Why? Who the heck knows. The end result is a book that is very difficult to follow and read simply from the aspect of the cast of characters alone. Oh, did I mention Jack and Sam also meet up with a cute dog, too? Yup. Children. Dog. They’re a happy little family …

The plot is another matter entirely. For one thing, vast amounts of it make little logical sense. Parts of it seem to contradict the very canon of the show itself (something that these books, being officially licensed really shouldn’t do), and other parts of it seem to change the canon of the show. To make matters even worse, characters seem to wander in and out of scenes without rhyme or reason. Nick Ballard, for instance, should have played a very integral part in this story and instead he was relegated to a very small, very background role. He barely appears at all and when he does, he just seems to pop up, as if the author didn’t want to have to deal with him (or Daniel, for that matter). The way this book is advertised, it is supposed to be highly focused on Daniel, Nick and the giant aliens, and there is NO resolution whatsoever to Daniel’s story with his grandfather and the aliens. The author is obviously more interested in writing cutesy little scenes with Jack and Carter hugging each other.

I was also taken aback by some of the rather jarring historical inaccuracies. The author is supposedly an anthropologist and I’m going to assume their specialty is something in the area of Ancient MesoAmerica … uhm, the children Jack and Sam meet would not have the faintest clue what a chocolate bar was or recognize it as chocolate. Chocolate in the ancient world was bitter, unsweetened … and a drink.

There is also the little matter of the supposed tie-in to Julie Fortune’s novel, “Sacrifice Moon.” There are a couple of sentences and paragraphs tossed helter-skelter into the story here and there that make little to no sense that obliquely refer back to events of Julie Fortune’s story. If you haven’t read “Sacrifice Moon,” you won’t even understand what is going on. Actually, even if you have read it, you might not understand what is going on. To me, it read like nothing more than an excuse to be able to point to these totally out of context happenings and say “Look! This novel is related to ‘Sacrifice Moon’!” Although this is a testament to the quality and popularity of Julie Fortune’s excellent team-oriented and fan favorite novel, uh, no, this book isn’t related to “Sacrifice Moon.” It just apparently wishes it were.

The special “Daniel’s Mission Report” at the end was also a joke. It is nothing more than the author’s historical notes (which apparently didn’t include research into the history of chocolate …) with a sentence or two thrown in every once in awhile to make it sound like Daniel might have written them. And I do mean only a sentence or two. They were boring. I am a huge Daniel fan and I skimmed them, trying to stifle the yawns.

If you adore Sam, if you think Sam and Jack are destined to be together forever and Hammond (and Daniel) know this, and you want to read a book about Sam the Wonder Woman, this is the book for you. But if you were looking for some good science fiction, some well researched and fun action/adventure and mythology and something that is a Daniel Jackson based and good old-fashioned SG-1 team adventure as advertised … well, sorry to say, this book isn’t it.

Review by DanaJeanne:

This has got to be one of the most boring, over-educated books I've ever read. Researching your subject mater is one thing, writing a schoolbook on it is another. I was looking for a yellow highlighter and getting ready for the test That Will Follow before I was a third of the way into the book.

This book had two strikes against it from the beginning as far as I'm concerned since I'm neither a fan of the Carter-who-can-do-no-wrong, or the Sam and Jack romance that is supposedly 'canon' if you go by the writing rules at Fandemonium. There was entirely too much Carter worship here, and too many places where Carter was in Daniel's 'place' next to Jack.

The prologue starts the story with Carter in Washington DC in a meeting with Hammond and others regarding the demise of the rest of SG-1 during their last mission. It opens with entirely too much setting of the scene, using too many descriptive words about things I didn't care about.

The bulk of the book up to the final chapter is a 'flashback' to what happened. The team is split up immediately between Daniel/Teal'c and Sam/Jack, and the book see-saws back and forth between what's happening with each half. They do eventually all converge on the same planet, together, but by that time the book is almost finished and I was so dulled out with boredom, I couldn't really care if they all survived or not.

The research done by the writer is way too obvious; I become bogged down in useless facts very quickly and ended up skimming through several explanations. I felt a bit like Jack, wanting to tell the writer to "stop...do I really need to know this?" Unfortunately I didn't have that opportunity.

There was a plot in there somewhere, but I'm a little unclear on just what it was as nothing much was really accomplished by the end. The flowery writing style of this author forced me to break out the anti-allergy medicine and take out stock in Kleenex.

"Carter turned to face him (O'Neill). Backlit by the glow from Meztli, her hair shown like a burnished halo. The vapor from her breath curled softly around her in the windless night, adding to the illusion. She was a guardian angel; one who'd saved them countless times..."

"Jack caught Hammond's eye, silently not asking permission for something he would never admit to. Hammond nodded once; the only acknowledgement he would ever give. O’Neill opened is(sic) arms and held Major Carter like a drowning man clinging to a life raft."

Aside from the rather important fact that O'Neill has never been shown in the series to have any feelings for Carter other than Commanding Officer to a subordinate, the way these paragraphs (and others like them) are constructed would make any intelligent person ask for the barf bag. This is the 21st century, not the 19th.

If anyone was considering buying the book based on Dr Jackson's Diary...don't. You can find the same information in an encyclopedia and it would probably read easier. We don't need these additional 14 pages of baffling, scholarly meanderings to prove to us the writer did her research. No, that was very apparent in the body of the book, a case of too much showing off and not enough attention paid to writing the actual story.

I understand this author has written two professional novels prior to this; based on what I read tonight I have no desire to even look at the covers of any other books she's written.

Trial by Fire by Sabine C. Bauer
Published by Fandemonium, Ltd.

Review by Ashton7:

Alas, the writing in “Trial by Fire” does not live up to professional standards nor my expectations (and hopes). The first half of the book is incredibly slow and plodding and I had to literally force myself to continue reading. I kept picking it up and then putting it back down. It took me weeks to get past the first few pages, even though they dealt with my favorite character Daniel! If it hadn't been about characters that I love, a book I paid a lot of money for and an official product that I will keep for my collection, I would have stopped reading early on.

There were also many annoying things about the plot and the characters. For one thing, the original character that is introduced early on in the story. She was awful. She took up way too much of the book. She spent far too much of the book with Jack when I wanted to see Jack with his team (we see enough of that separation *on the show* these days). The take on “Abyss” and the author's insistence that Daniel did nothing to help Jack at all (oh, but Jack “magnanimously” forgives him ... and Jack, poor baby, has nightmares all the time about it but he won't talk about it, of course, even with Daniel or tell Daniel what happened and let Daniel know what Daniel actually did -- even when he knows Daniel is angsting over it). Bah! Jack is the savior of the universe in this novel but Daniel can apparently do nothing right. Of course, the little snarky asides here and there about Daniel, usually in Sam's and sometimes Teal'c's inner thoughts didn't help. I've read a lot of fan fiction written by fans of Jack and Daniel, many of whom no longer particularly like Sam, but they don't usually write stories where Jack and/or Daniel is having unkind and/or snarky thoughts about Sam. It reminded me of the episode "Grace" where we suddenly seem to see this incredibly nasty side of Sam's conscience and what she really thinks of Daniel. It did not endear Sam to me at all.

In short, I thought the writing was plodding in style and difficult to wade through, the original character took up far too much of the story and was annoying to boot, and the portrayal of the major characters of SG-1 was "off" and even offensive in some parts.

I really expected to like this book. I've liked the author's fan fiction over the years. I wanted to like this book. I certainly didn't pay to import it from England so I could dislike it. But there you go. It gets a so-so from me and really I wouldn't recommend it to anyone unless you can get it at a fairly cheap price. Unless, of course, you like stories about Jack as the savior of the universe and enjoy reading about annoying original characters off on their own with Jack …

Stargate SG-1 Volume 39, Release date 28 March 2005
Episodes: Icon, Avatar, Affinity, Covenant

Review by Carole Gordon:

Extras include the second part of the documentary "From Stargate to Atlantis: The Lowdown", a production and design photo gallery, and a behind-the-scenes piece in the "Director's series" - this time for Covenant.

Now well into the 8th Season, Stargate SG1 could be expected to start hitting its stride, but these episodes are remarkably inconsistent in quality.

Icon is Stargate SG1's "homage" to 'The English Patient', with Daniel caught up in a war and nursed back to health by the wife of a lieutenant to the leader of the Rand Protectorate. In a Lowery-esque setting of 1950s
industrialisation, the stand-off between two continents is disturbed by SG1's activation of the Stargate, causing a tense situation to fall into conflagration, enabling Soren, a religious zealot, to take power. The action moves between the run-up to the war, Daniel's attempts to contact Earth and SG1 trying to negotiate with Soren, causing a few clunky changes of scene and interrupting the flow of an otherwise interesting story. For once, it is Earth being asked to share technology with a less advanced society in exchange for permission to search for their missing team-mate, and the SGC, as the Tollan did to the Tauri, refuses. Overall, a good episode marred by a lack of dramatic pace and absence of any real sense of the widespread devastation being caused - in other words, too much "tell" and not enough "show". Score: 7/10

In Avatar, Teal'c is trapped in a virtual reality training game, developed by Dr Lee, which uses the technology last seen in the episode, The Gamekeeper. As the simulation learns from Teal'c and changes its strategy, Teal'c begins to despair - and becomes weaker when he finds he is unable either to win the game or escape. It is only when Daniel joins him in the game that they are able to work together to win. A fascinating episode,
showing a less stoic, more vulnerable side to Teal'c and a resolution that many fans will cheer - that the only way to win is if all four members of SG1 survive and work together. Good too to see the continuity with the earlier episode, and some character development for Teal'c that doesn't revolve around the Jaffa rebellion. Score: 8/10

Affinity sees Teal'c moving into an apartment, developing a relationship with his next-door neighbor, and becoming a murder suspect. Throw in some shenanigans with The Trust, who kidnap Daniel to force him to translate some Goa'uld symbols, a well-aimed avocado, a proposal of marriage, a potted fern and a beyond-cheesy candlelit tai-chi workout session for Teal'c and Krista and the Jaffa rebellion arc is beginning to look a lot more interesting. Score: 5/10 By the way: Erica Durance (Krista) married David Palffy (Anubis/Sokar) in
December 2004. Erica is now starring as Lois Lane in Smallville.

Covenant features Alec Colson, a billionaire industrialist, whose companies have been involved in aspects of the Stargate programme. When he realizes that the companies' research indicates evidence of extra-terrestrial
life, he threatens to go public, and appears at a press conference with what appears to be an Asgard. In an attempt to persuade him not to continue with his revelations, Sam takes him to the (new) Alpha Site for a spin in the X302. But the Trust are also trying to stop him, which is all deeply uninteresting. Yet again, someone likely to be a security risk is shown around the SGC and taken off-world. And it's yet another Trust story. That Jaffa rebellion is looking better and better ... Oh, and could someone remind the writers that Daniel did not claim in his research that the pyramids were "landing sites for alien spaceships". Please go back and watch the movie, guys. Score: 4/10 Spooky: Charles Shaughnessy, as Colson, at times sounded disturbingly like
former Tory party leader, William Hague.

The extra features, as with the Atlantis DVDs, don't include episode commentaries, so overall, the extras are a little light. There is an interesting Director's Series piece about Covenant with Martin Wood who is always worth watching. He has exactly the right tone of taking his work seriously, but not too seriously and actually gives some interesting insight into what they have to do to get the show on the screen. His obvious enthusiasm for the show is delightful to see. The second part of the Lowdown (From SG1 to Atlantis) doesn't throw much new light on either SG1 or Atlantis. It features interviews with many of the cast of both shows, but these are insubstantial and obviously intended to be more introductory than in-depth. The photo gallery has a good election of stills both from the episodes and behind the scenes.

Overall: 7/10 Definitely missing the episode commentaries. If only the producers would add some deleted scenes and/or outtakes to make up for the lack of commentaries, I suspect this would tempt a lot more fans to purchase the DVDs.

 

Stargate Atlantis Volume 1, Release date 14 March 2005
Episodes: Rising, Hide and Seek and 38 Minutes

Review by Carole Gordon:

According to a press release, Stargate Atlantis achieved "the 5th largest premiere in Sky's history" when it was shown on Sky One in the UK. The Stargate SG1 spin-off is now coming out on DVD, with Volume 1 (Region 2 -
Europe) due for release on 14 March, and featuring the first four episodes of Season 1 (Rising Parts 1 and 2, Hide and Seek, and Thirty-Eight Minutes) plus extra material.

These first episodes need to pack a punch to grab the viewers' interest, introduce the new characters and keep up the standard set by their parent show, Stargate SG1. Do they succeed? To a degree, but with some
missteps.

Rising Parts 1 and 2: In Antarctica, a team led by Dr Weir is trying to harness Ancient technology and find the location of Atlantis. Daniel Jackson believes the Ancients may have gone to the Pegasus Galaxy, and discovers the Stargate address that will take a team there. On what may turn out to be a one-way expedition, the group travels through the Stargate and arrives in a high-tech complex - several hundred metres underwater--only to find that the power is depleting, causing the shields protecting the city to collapse. Their only hope is to explore other planets in the galaxy in an urgent hunt for power sources to repower the city. Along the way, they encounter friends and enemies, and new personal and genetic abilities.

It's hard to resist any show that starts with the caption "Several million years ago" and then leads neatly on from the end of Stargate SG1's Season 7 closing episode "Lost City". The link between the two shows and the original Stargate movie is also emphasised by the welcome presence of Jack O'Neill and Daniel Jackson in the first part, before this spin off totally "spins off" and makes its own way, leaving the Stargate itself - and quirky character Rodney McKay - to represent the link to the parent show.

Viewers have come to expect fantastic SFX and Stargate Atlantis does not disappoint on that score. Vast in scale and vision, they should probably be viewed on a cinema screen for full effect, but even on the small screen they elicit a delighted "Oh!".

Where the opening episodes fall down is the characterization. Apart from the double act of McKay and Beckett, who appear to have most of the best lines, the rest of the crew do not instantly grab the attention. Dr Weir lacks conviction as the leader of the expedition, as does Teyla as the supposed leader of her people. Sheppard is, so far, a stereotypical "maverick" officer with a few smart lines. Ford has little to do, and the main enemy to Atlantis, the Wraith, are not as scary as their ability to suck the life-force out of their victims by a mere touch would suggest they should be.

The music is solid if unmemorable, though the celestial choir is a nice touch. Overall, this double episode is a sound start to the spin-off. Score: 8/10 (mostly because of the SFX and the Beckett and McKay exchanges)

Hide and Seek: As the team settle into Atlantis, McKay finds himself trapped in a personal shield, while strange power fluctuations and technical malfunctions plague the complex. The team find themselves fighting shadows and a sentient energy being.

McKay is excellent here as the "reluctant hero" and his interesting if eccentric character is already becoming established as the backbone of the show. His interactions with Dr Beckett are beautifully observed and portrayed. Otherwise, this episode does little to develop the other characters. Score: 6/10

Thirty-Eight Minutes: While on a recon mission, Sheppard is attacked by an alien bug, but before the team can get back to the base, the puddlejumper becomes stuck in the event horizon. They have just 38 minutes before the wormhole destabilises, destroying the ship. A nicely paced episode, with slowly developing tension both from the bug which is killing Sheppard and the threat to the puddlejumper. Unfortunately, Dr Weir still struggles to maintain control and does not have a sufficient air of authority for the scope of the project. Score 6/10.

Other features: The DVD includes a delightfully tongue-in-cheek set tour with Martin Wood and Peter de Luise, previews of Atlantis episodes and photo and production galleries. The real disappointment is the lack of episode commentaries, which Stargate fans have enjoyed so much on the SG1 DVDs over the last few seasons. With the pressures of shooting, it may no longer be possible to do the commentaries (which are done on the actors'/directors'/crew own time), but without them, this DVD is lacking in the additional features that attract many fans. So, how about including some deleted scenes or bloopers to compensate for the lack of commentaries?

Overall DVD score: 7/10

 

Stargate Atlantis Volume 2, Release date 11 April 2005
Episodes: Suspicion, Childhood’s End, Poisoning the Well and Home

Review by Carole Gordon:

Features: Transport Chamber - consisting of a video diary by Rainbow Sun Francks and the "Atlantis Mission Directive", looking at The Storm/The Eye Production Design and Photo gallery

The first episode ("Suspicion") sees the Atlantis crew convinced that they have a spy on the base, after the Wraith seem to know where they are going to be every time they explore other worlds. Dr Weir sadly still fails to
impress, with no sense of authority, and an alarming tendency to jump to conclusions. She seems only too ready to believe that one of the Athosians is betraying them, without giving any consideration to the numerous other possibilities, especially considering they are in another galaxy. With little character development for anyone in this episode and a lack of pace, this does not rate very highly. Score: 5/10

In "Childhood's End", the puddlejumper crashes during an exploratory mission, leaving the team stranded on a planet where the inhabitants kill themselves when they reach the age of 25, believing this makes their race
worthless to the Wraith. Then Rodney finds a ZPM ... David Hewlett continues to raise the bar in every scene he's in. Rodney's acerbic manner hides his fear, making for an interestingly nuanced performance. He also has some excellent banter with Sheppard. Otherwise, this storyline is reminiscent of Stargate SG1's "Brief Candle" and the gang of children look like the Lost Boys from Peter Pan. So an okay episode, but not one to rave about. Score: 6/10 - too derivative to score more highly.

"Poisoning the Well" takes the team to a civilization that is on the point of developing an anti-Wraith drug. As Beckett works with a local scientist to develop the drug, Sheppard interrogates a Wraith captive. But the drug turns out to have catastrophic side effects. This episode gives Carson Beckett centre stage and Paul McGillion more than rises to the challenge. A story-line with depth, emotional consequence and an interesting moral. It is just a pity that the writers/designers couldn't come up with something more "alien" and imaginative than a backdrop that looks like a turn of the century North American industrial landscape and Edwardian costuming. Score: 8/10 - only because Paul McGillian rocks.

The final episode on this DVD is "Home", in which the team appear to find a Stargate that gives them the chance to return home to Earth. All is not as it seems. Aliens messing with the team's heads isn't an entirely original idea (Stargate SG1's "The Gamekeeper" for example), and this episode suffers from a lack of pace and a too-obvious resolution. Again, the only character of real interest is Rodney, whose growing realization that something is wrong is well portrayed. Score: 7/10 - for David Hewlett's portrayal of Rodney

Rainbow Sun Francks' video diary is bursting with the actor's enthusiasm and energy, particularly poignant since the announcement that his role on the show has been reduced to recurring. At only 9 minutes, the diary is rather short, but what there is gives a fascinating look at the filming of the pilot episode.

The Atlantis Mission Directive on the episodes The Storm/The Eye is everything a behind-the-scenes piece should be - other than in length. Martin Wood provides a terrific insight into the shooting of these episodes, using split screen to show simultaneously the shooting of the storm effects and how this appeared in the final product. Great stuff - but again, not enough of it.

In addition, there is the usual selection of still photos from the episodes and behind-the-scenes.
All in all, this is probably one for Atlantis aficionados only. The episodes don't really go much beyond "okay" and the extras are, once again, sadly insufficient to attract any but the most devoted fan.

Overall score: 6.5
