A sequel to the 1994 movie Stargate, Stargate SG-1 is one of the premiere science-fiction series on television. First airing in July 1997, the show has been nominated for 7 Emmys and 23 Saturn Awards. The brainchild of creator Dean Devlin, producer of such Hollywood blockbusters as Independence Day (1996) and The Patriot (2000), Stargate SG-1 chronicles the further adventures of the Stargate Command (SGC) as Earth and its citizens advance forward into a new era of space exploration in the aftermath of Dr. Daniel Jackson's discovery of the galaxy's numerous stargates?

Stargate SG-1 follows the exploits of the SG-1 Unit (i.e. the "explorer" unit) of Stargate Command. When a new code is broken that reveals the location of stargates throughout the galaxy, Earth and its inhabitants are given the ability to travel through time to any point they wish instantaneously. Earth's military sends out stargate (SG) teams to scour the universe for new technologies, new planets, and methods of defense against the oppressive Goa'uld. Brigadier General Jonathan "Jack" O'Neill (Richard Dean Anderson) is the commanding officer of SG-1. He's accompanied by Dr. Daniel Jackson (Michael Shanks), the brilliant professor whose investigations originally helped uncover the existence of the stargates, and fellow teammates Samantha Carter (Amanda Tapping) and Teal'c (Christopher Judge). Together, they face numerous obstacles as they attempt to uncover the many mysteries of the universe?

The Stargate SG-1 (Season 5) DVD features a number of exciting episodes including the season premiere "Enemies" in which SG-1 and Jacob Carter are trapped in another galaxy with Apophis. Meanwhile, Teal'c is brainwashed into being a dedicated follower of Apophis, and the SG-1 can't get him to remember what has happened? Other notable episodes from Season 5 include "Rite of Passage" in which Cassandra develops telekinetic powers that threaten to end her life, and "Last Stand" in which Osiris begins a war with all of the combined System Lords, prompting a peace summit to convene on a massive space station?
