He is probably jealous of the Starship Troopers guy who got popular again because of Helldivers 2. The Firefly guy is probably playing a shooter arcade with his laser revolver and the Battlestar Galactica guy is piss out drunk.
You need to bear with it through the usual S1 growing pains
By today’s standards it’s almost unbearably 90s, especially during the first season (IMO)
It really does get great.
It made me cry at least a few times.
SG-1 was a great mixture of comedy and drama in sci-fi IMO, and while it’s not my very favorite franchise, it’s easily top 10 for me. If you haven’t seen it before it’s worth your time for sure!
Personally I feel like the show really finds it’s legs in S3 but kicks it into high gear for S6.
I’m sure every fan has a list of episodes you can skip, and while I do skip a lot of S1/2 depending on how long it’s been since I watched those particulars, personally I think they’re all important for Stargate as a whole. Necessary to watch on your second run I think, not necessarily for the first.
Luckily since I know the people I’ve watched it with pretty well, I know what can be skipped and what they’ll need to watch to really “get it”. And I summarize the episodes we skip. Sometimes I’ll even give them the option like “next episode is pretty slow, no real action but a lot of off-world things and important conversations/drama” and let them decide if they want to watch a slow episode or not.
Although honestly, how can you think the episodes where Daniel poses as Yu’s servant are boring? Sure no big explosions and action sequences, but it’s riveting.
While normally I would agree that you should take it all in as-is… It really depends on how many times you’ve seen it…
SG1 was my jam while it was still running, and I watched it every chance I got from S4 onwards.
When my family didn’t have cable, we had the first 5 seasons of SG1 on DVD, and I watched them. A lot.
So I definitely have seen enough of The Broca Divide and Emancipation and will happily skip them my next go around. If I’m showing them to a new person though, it’s “you should watch ALL OF THEM”
The movie was meh as far as I’m concerned. Neat but meh. I was pretty young when it came out and only saw it with my dad many years later.
SG1 is where it’s at. 10 seasons and 3 movies of fantastic TV.
Atlantis is even better for the action-lovers, I feel like it was much more action-packed. That’s partly just because both shows are products of their times, SG1 started when TV shows were much slower paced, but picks it up as the years pass. Very different first seasons.
Universe is unlike either of the other two, and if you approach it expecting more SG1/Atlantis you will be disappointed, and likely not finish the series. It’s far more focused on drama, I think. Recently someone compared it to Lost, and honestly I can see the influence. The whole “mystery” aspect, having no idea where the story will go next… It’s a totally different show that you might not like even if you loved the other two.
I’d say watch a few episodes from like season 6 or 7, and decide if you want to see more. It is a product of its time and the first season of any show can be hard to get through, 90s shows especially.
The Stargate guy is crying in a corner

The Firefly guy is muttering “fucking Joss Whedon” under his breath
Meanwhile people are looking at this guy going WTF?
Among us???
Space: 1999
I know *I* am!:-P
Space: 1999
Well that answers one question… and begins to spawn a whole new series of them:-).
Oh man I loved Power Rangers!
Farscape says what the frell?
Moya is cooler than the rest of those ships combined
She doesn’t need to frell herself, she already bad a baby
There most definitely could not have been a show without her! :-P
She literally carries the actors throughout the show.
From all of them I’m only a fan of Stargate.
There are dozens of us.
I should rewatch sg1 again…
I just feel terrible that you guys don’t have the berth of content that star wars/star trek fans have. I should give stargate a try

Really I have to agree with that now that you mention it. I think it had been too long since I watched it. :)
I skip nothing on any show! I know people commonly do this, I just don’t. If I’m watching it, I’m watching it warts and all. 😁

Fair, I can definitely see how there would be a point of saturation!
I’m trying to get my wife through the series.
Daniel just died and she’s pissed. Hates Jonas already just for being “not Daniel”
I love seeing Stargate brought up in the wild
Beware if Maybourne. He may steal your hotdog.
seaQuest DSV: Let me in! Let me iiiiinnnn!!
Stargate is the best “star-” franchise imho.
I vaguely remember the movie, I liked the cool concept behind it, but i didn’t watch any of the shows
The shows are the best part.

Indeed.
Naw he’s off at RenFaire.
