Martin: No clue on why Sci-Fi does that. The SG-1 DVD sets aren’t split up either, so I wonder if it was Universial’s decision to release the first half-set early, to catch the Christmas sales.

But I will say that the mid-season break was certainly worth the wait. I was not disappointed at all when the season resumed showing.

Larry: I’m a TV-on-DVD kind of guy, especially for shows with continuity — it’s pretty rare for me to catch them on TV.

Any idea why Sci-Fi does this?

Martin, Sci-Fi has been doing that for at least three seasons now, at least where SG-1 is concerned.

Good catch, Lee — thank you! (I don’t own 2.0 yet myself, so I didn’t know that.)

Larry: I agree, the mid-season break is a bit odd. My group just got through watching season 1 together on DVD (though some of them have seen it before), so it didn’t affect us.

Oh yeah, loves me some BS:G. As much as I hate the Sci-Fi mid-season break, I bought the first half of Season 2 on DVD. It made for a good review of what had happened, just in time for the new episodes to start showing again. The writers of BS:G really have their stuff down pat.

Just a note. The Second Season link is for only the first half of the second season. The second half of season 2 is currently being aired, with the first episode airing (in the US) Jan 6th, 2006.
