Major Gus Bonner’s team of SG cadets continues their journey in Stargate: Infinity: The Key, which is the 18th outing of the animated series which lasted but a single season.
The society in this show lives in what they call the commonality. It’s more like everyone being one thought. …

Stargate: Infinity: The Face of Evil opens with more action between Major Gus Bonner’s team and their number one enemy. It’s the same race they’ve fought from the very first episode. Frankly, I’m not fond of this evil race or the shows in which they are featured.
The …

There’s lots of greenery and a flowing pink waterfall in Stargate: Infinity: Us and Them. The team had a bit of a rough arrival, though, almost riding over the cliff’s edge. I’m not surprised, considering how fast they ride those motorcycles and vehicles through the Stargate all …

Here’s a show to combat video games. Stargate: Infinity: Reality focuses on a world where the inhabitants are found in an auditorium, all playing some virtual reality game and turning into vegetables in the process. I liken this plot device to Stargate SG-1’s The Gamekeeper, where SG-1 …

Stargate: Infinity: Stones is a story that centers on Stacey, Major Gus Bonner’s niece. She’s a feisty, independent scientist. Actually, she’s probably a variation of Samantha Carter on Stargate SG-1, only with pink hair.
While on an alien world, she is given some special stones to wear as …

This show opens with more education dealing with a phrase that says someone is worth their salt. Salary comes from the word salt. This was Ec’co’s lesson to Draga that started Stargate: Infinity: Greed. We get a lot of these little words of wisdom and messages …

It’s a common piece of advice, a cliche even, that things aren’t always what they seem. That’s the first lesson of Stargate: Infinity: Who Are You? which is the children’s animated version of the hit science fiction series, Stargate SG-1, only there’s very little that really resembles that …

“If you keep a fear hidden, it will take control of you.” That’s the mantra of Stargate: Infinity: Phobia which is one of the animated episodes which aired on Saturday mornings for a while. It focused on an SG team that was stranded off-world since the GDO …

“You want to know the best world is? The next one.” That’s the best line of this first episode of Stargate: Infinity called Decision. This is not to be confused with the live action series. About the only commonality between the two is the name …

Diagnosis Murder: Shaker gives us a natural disaster — an earthquake. In spite of the title and event, the focus isn’t really on the earthquake and its aftermath. In fact, I’d call the quake more of a supporting player than anything else.
During the earthquake, Dick Van Dyke’s …
