A Must Have For SG-1 Fans,
By
This review is from: Stargate SG-1: The Essential Scripts (Paperback)
If you are a fan of the hit sci-fi show Stargate SG-1 then this is a must have book. It contains six scripts from the show's first six seasons: THE TORMENT OF TANTALES, THE FIFTH RACE, WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY, 2010, WORMHOLE X-TREME!, and ABYSS.
Each scipt is the original uncut version of the episodes, and thus, contains deleted scenes, alternate diaouge, the original order of scences and the like. It also features commentary on the making of the episode from the show's writers. This book is a must have for both fans of the show and for anyone out there who wants to learn how to write for TV shows.

Terrific...But Wow that Print is Tiny!!,
By Cynthia T. (New York, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Stargate SG-1: The Essential Scripts (Paperback)
The content of this book is rich and satsifying: Six wonderful scripts, two of which are my all time faves.
Also included are many informative revision notes and episode photos. The major downside is the unbelievably small print. With the exception of the all-capped sluglines the print is actually tinier than the type size used when writing the draft of this critique. You'd have to go inside a Barbie's Dream House Library to find print this microscopic. I assume it was done this small to enable the inclusion of six complete scripts, but I guarantee you - you'll have a headache from squinting after you've read the first few pages. Yikes!

A fun read,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Stargate SG-1: The Essential Scripts (Paperback)
The book is great for those who want to take a glimpse at the "behind the scenes" stuff. It offers commentary, photos and notes. I found it interesting in how original scripts were editted to fit the show's timeline.
Though, "Wormhole Extreme" was a milestone eposide, it was not my favorite on screen. However the script presented nuiances I missed - leading me to appreciate this eposide a little more.
