You've got SG-1 but not Stargate Atlantis, so add that in, it's just about as good as SG-1. (not Stargate Universe, though, that one's bad.)
There it is, Stargate SG-1
Damn that show starts off slow - most people can't get past season one. But holy heck does it have an amazing team writing the plots. I thoroughly enjoyed that show. And it's so underrated. I know I never watched it much when it was on air weekly with new episodes
I binged all 10 seasons and while the last couple were a drag to get through, I totally enjoyed it. The episodic format is great.
Also enjoyed Atlantis though I was skeptical of it and the characters at first, but they really grew on me.
I also enjoyed Universe but it was more of a dark, gritty show along the same vein as BSG. It got canceled pretty quickly so there isn't much to get into though.
Yes season 1 is rough, season 2 is a bit battery. Season 3 is where the show really takes off for me.
Stargate, Star Trek, Star Wars = the holy sci-fi trinity. Seen each countless times in their entirety, always find myself coming back
Yeah, I never watched Atlantis. My ol' friend who recommended SG-1 (years ago) said the other series weren't worth watching, but maybe he just meant Universe. What was wrong with Universe?
I just watched some YouTube clips of Atlantis and saw Colm Meaney makes some appearances. So.. adding to the list!
The optimal way to watch Stargate, and the way it originally aired, is alternating episodes of SG-1 and Atlantis starting with the former's season 8 and the latter's season 1.
Universe had a drastic tone and characterization change from the other Stargate shows, it's much more tonally similar to Battlestar Galactica than Stargate. SG-1 and Atlantis are about competent professionals who enjoy each others' company, while Universe is about a bunch of petulant children who hate and are constantly scheming against each other.
No, I don't like BSG either.
Ah good to know.
I did enjoy BSG, but it took some episodes to appreciate. And I had to accept the fact that the characters were pretty incompetent. They weren’t the best or brightest due to the circumstances and had to adapt to survive.
I made it about halfway through season 2 and found myself rooting for the Cylons to kill every named character including the Cylon ones.
@[email protected] loved both SG-1 and Atlantis
