This is only HALF of the first season. The title of this item says "Stargate SG-U: Season One (2009)" But later down in the Editorial review it states that it's a three disc set that will include 10 episodes from Season 1.
Season 1 will have 20 episodes in it and this DVD set is set for release in Feb 2010, before all 20 episodes of the first season have even aired on TV.
Please let them know you want full seasons and not half seasons on DVD by not purchasing this.
I cant really write a review of season one yet because it's not done airing but from what little we've seen so far it looks promising. I'm looking forward to the rest of the season and hopefully the entire season on one reasonably priced dvd set.
This halfseason release is an insult to Stargate fans
Post Season 1 Edit: Looks like they listened to angry fans, or who knows maybe it was their plan all along, but they released the entire season on DVD and it's available for less than $40 here on Amazon.

This show surprised me in a good way at the half-season finale, "Justice". Before that point the show usually had all the excitement of watching a glacier melt. But that episode was pretty ballsy, and gave some hope that the series really is different from other Stargate shows. I enjoyed the previous shows for what they were, but the formula needs shaking up.
But this nonsense the sales idiots came up with -- "Hey let's jedi mind-trick everybody into thinking half seasons are actually full seasons, and charge them full season prices" -- is just sad. ~$40 for a half season is $80 per season guys, and people aren't even paying that for shows that have proved themselves far superior. (Despite the stylistic overtures, so far this show is not even close to BSG when it was at its best. Then again, neither was the BSG finale, but you get the idea.)
Apologies to those who believe you can't review a product without owning it -- but I'm sorry, if you own this set at this price, *you* have been pwned. I did watch every episode when they aired, but don't own the set -- and won't, until somebody at MGM realizes that lowering, not raising, prices in a recession will increase sales. Of course I can't comment on the extras, but there aren't any extras that could possibly make this a good deal.
So here's my suggestion to MGM: go over the minutes of whatever "How can we screw customers?" meeting in which it was decided to try this approach for SGU DVD/Blu-Ray sales. Pull the name of the guy who suggested it. And then send him back to Wendy's or McDonalds where he belongs.

I really wish studios would stop this obnoxious habit of releasing "half" seasons at full price. Yeah, I can understand that this release will tide fans over until the series resumes in 2010, but $70 for 10 episodes on the Blu-ray is excessive. And of course there's always the possibility that there will be a full season set released at some point for a double-dip later on. Some credit is due for including high-res audio.
As far as the series is concerned, it has possibilities, but I struggle to find any of the characters likable (except for Eli, who's clearly there to appeal to the nerd herd) and the stories have little action of consequence. The show is suffering an identity crisis as it doesn't know whether to be Battlestar Galactica (big shoes to fill) or a soap opera.
I think I'll sit this one out for the moment and see what happens next!

I watched the whole series, and most of my top episodes are in this first batch. This series had potential.

Highly controversial but some of us loved it.
Yes, yes. Most people despised Stargate Universe. It's too much like Battlestar Galactica in it's edgy tension and constant conflict within the core group for Stargate fans but... Read more

A Grown Up Stargate
This series is a one of a kind show with spectacular graphics. It's more grown up than the 2 Series before it, and brings the Stargate Lore to the forefront. Read more

SGU tries TOO hard to be BSG. Never gonna happen. Could Dr. Rush be any more identical to Dr. Baltar? The Asian chick is a bitch and a lesbian...hmm..who does that sound like?? Read more

This must be one of the slowest, dullest shows I have seen. I originally tuned in hoping this would be a great successor to SG-1 or SGA, but it turned into a complete disaster. Read more

This show is fantastic! This show is definitely a significant step in the evolution of the modern science fiction TV show - not as big of a step as BSG, but a big step nonetheless. Read more
