The 'Stargate Ultimate Visual Guide' is a good book for those Stargate fans who are fairly new to the series or would like to add to their 'Stargate' collections. The text is well written and the photos are nice and clear.The book does provide a brief summary of each of the Stargate personnel, an overall summary of the Asgardians and their enemies, alien civilizations encountered by the team, Replicators, technology and some of the story arcs. The book does not go into any great depth overall with characters or plots but a novice fan can get a good idea of the characters and the major story arcs.Overall the book is a good book to present to novice Stargate fans or for devoted followers of the show. The only drawback? You cannot dial a gate of your own.
Length: 2:52 Mins
(Yes, I know it is a Visual Guide and not a Visual Dictionary.)If you're thinking about buying this and you are a Stargate SG-1 fan, then I say...Kree, buy it now! I was pretty shocked on just how much this book covers, and just how much the show created in its ten year run. This covers the show in a very complete manner both visually and in text. Here is a list of what the book covers.-The Gate, -Jack O'Neill, -Dr. Jackson, -Sam Carter, -Teal'c, -Jonas Quinn, -Hammond, -Frasier, -Stargate Command, -Cheyenne Mountain, -Base Personal, -SGC teams, -Uniforms, -Weapons, -Earth Tech, -Prometheus, -Alien Tech, -Government and Military, -NID and the Trust, -Russians, -Abydos, -Chulak, -The Ancients, -Ancient Tech, -The Goa'uld, -Goa'uld Pantheon, -Anubis, -System Lords, -Jaffa, -Rebel Jaffa, -Mission years 1-9, -The Tollan, -The Tok'ra, -Asgard, -Story Arcs, -Replicators, -Unas, -The Aschen, -Kewlowna, -Dakara, -MoebiusA great read and a great presentation. Good for both the casual fan and the die-hard fan.
This book is AWESOME! For a huge Stargate SG-1 fan, it has everything you could want in pictures and information. I can only imagine how many hours went into putting it all together. Outstanding job by Kathleen Ritter! If you have just starting watching, this is a great tool to get caught up. This is a must have book for all Stargate watchers!! Thanks!
A 'visual guide' DVD is included with a fine survey of Stargate SG-1's popular television science fiction world, from discussions of characters, technologies, and stories to 600 color images from the series. This would make the perfect gift for any avid Stargate SG-1 fan: it packs in trivia and information about the series and the bonus DVD includes interviews, a gallery of original artwork by James C.D. Robbins, and even a trivia game.
I liked this a lot. I got it to research a costume (Bra'tac) and found that the pictures were high quality, and a lot of them. In fact, I purchased one picture for about half the cost of this book, and found that the one printed in this book was much higher quality than the separate print.If you love SG-1, then you should get a copy of this. It is a very good basic guide to the "canon" of the series, and there are many good pictures.Highly recommended.
Kate Ritter did a Wonderful job of putting together this book. I highly recommend this book to all Stargate fans. Very detailed, and easy to understand. I also recommend it to anyone who has just become a Stargate fan. They will really enjoy it! :-) Hats off to Kate Ritter for writing such a Wonderful Book! :-)
Very informative, great collection from start to the end. Perfect. A lot of photographs. Only thing, if you haven't seen the entire show, if you read too much of the book beyond the season you are in, you will know the outcome prematurely.
For "Gaters," this is a great read/see and reference piece with a fun DVD on board, smack in the middle of the front cover's Stargate. Buy two, one to riffle through 'til it's happily dog-eared, and one to squirrel away for resale on the future collectibles market. Even better, buy more to give away to help support the franchise, ensure more SG-1 adventures, and addict those poor ignorant souls who have been isolated on some podunk gateless planet.
