I have to say, one of the reasons that I bought this book was because I own 'X-Treme Possibilities' by Keith Topping, Paul Cornell & Martin Day and it is the best book I have EVER invested in so I figured this was bound to be well above average. I was not disappointed. Unlike most 'official' episode guides for a series, Keith & co's guides always contain HUGE amounts of plot detail, cast info, trivia and general comments from the actors and author/s alike. This guide is definitely the best and most informative for this series, however, i find that it lacks some of the sparkle that made 'X-Treme Possibilities' and 'Slayer' such a joy to read, perhaps because there doesn't seem to be quite the same level of detail.

Despite this I believe that 'Beyond the Gate' is up there among the best for any genre.

This is a horribly written guide! just in general, poorly written. not very well organized though it tries like hell to be. Nit picks the show. I dont need you to point out 20 errors per episode! thats not fun or interesting. the odd mistake here and there but not every episode! and a lot of it is opinion based. it asks a lot of questions. it points out questions the episode poses but never answers. look elsewhere!

I love Keith Topping's Stargate, Buffy and Angel guides. So when is the next volume of the Stargate guide coming out, Keith?
