ive been locking forward to this since last year - going to preorder it

i was annoyed at the fans choice for the sga bluray thouggh - could have picked an episode with more rewatchabality

Overheal

boobies?

Boobage has been specifically removed, apparently.

What a waste of time.

Would these ***** ever stop indulging their own film student fetishes and just give us something with some quality.

So they're going all Lucas on it? Cutting out what made it good, ie. boobies and hey I'm not being immature here, but wtf is the point in censoring yourself when you're making a straight-to-dvd movie that wont be picked at by a TV censor?

They're basically just adding new special effects and padding it out with deleted footage to pass it off as a movie and make a quick buck. I find it hard to swallow that anything cut from a TV series pilot would have any redeeming qualities so I'll pass.

Because the producers themselves were always against that scene and the only reason it was included was because Showtime forced them to include something that they considered an audience grabber. That scene was never their work. They are not censoring themselves but correcting the error of others.

Im not necessarily for the re-release of this episode however I will give it a chance there is no point commenting on how good/bad it will be before giving it a chance.

I remember buying the original and watching it with my parents,then that scene came along.Awkward!

When Apophis got his snake out?

Yeah, that was gross.

i have every ep of SG-1 on dvd, except this one, i have a copy that a buddy got me, but i think ill buy this, also need to get continuum, and season 5 of atlantis, then ill have it all:D

Overheal

so its out anywho.

This gateworld article does a good job of explaining whats been cut (Boobies, "Reproductive Organs", 2-way wormholes and Ring Transport gliders etc) and added some new scenes, a remastered score of music, much better establishing shots and visuals, and Teal'c has re-dubbed 100% of his lines - finally making him sound like the badass he is by the time he develops the character years later, instead of the soft spoken Mr. Spock douche he was at the start.

It does a good job of explaining these cuts, and the additions. In fact, they placated me on the boobage. Ill just have to keep the video clip on file i guess

So I did the unthinkable, and bought this. For money. Legally.

Huh.



Anyway I recommend it. You get whats on the tin: Its the pilot episode done right. Runs very well imo. They seem to add quite a bit in. Stuff that was either re-filmed recently or was leftover footage, like an entire scene with at Jack's house with Daniel and him having a beer. They also cut it down a bit too so yes it does run a few minutes shorter. Still, totally better than the original.

They looped over the MacGuiver jibe though. Damn them She just says "jerry-rig" instead now.

Ill get into the commentary later. With RDA no less. probably good.

this sounds like a really silly idea

I honestly attest they have, here.

go on. rent it, buy it, steal it (im not seeding it), but give it a lash at least.

This would probably be the main reason i would buy this!

senordingdong

Anyone wanna give me a lend?

Overheal

I dont wanna seed it, lest the Publisher make a National News Example of my $9/hr keister. and im in no range to lend.

You actually hear RDA laugh in the commentary too. Only then do you realise, he never once lol'd in the show. Hmm.

I've now made it my life goal to find a scene where RDA lols!

I've got the box set of season 4 for sale on adverts.ie if anyones interested

Watched it this morning, and i really enjoyed it.

It runs a lot smoother and better put together than the original, especially with the set up shots and the music sounds fantastic.

Worth a watch at least.
