Started watching it on Pluto and only in the first season but I’m liking it. I’ve seen random episodes here and there and my dad rented the movie once it was available at blockbuster. Plus it’s cool to see a show with Air Force members as an Air Force vet. I assume since it ended before the woke era there aren’t any major girlboss moments.

I plan on watching Atlantis after this when I get a chance
SG1 and SGA run concurrently at some point and the story jumps back and forth. I think Atlantis starts at around season 7 or 8. Search for "stargate watch order" or something like that if you make it that far.
First season of Atlantis is pure gold in my opinion. Perfect setup and story arc. I won't spoil things, but I do think they may have done almost too well during that season, and maybe wrote themselves into a literary predicament.
I remember the early episodes of SGA were glorious. Well written, great picture / architecture style, nice fleshing of the Ancients.
It slowly went down in quality with a few very good episodes still to be found later. Some episodes felt the characters were "written wrong" and some plot developments made me lose interest.
Won't spoil further than saying I felt a sharp enjoyment drop around the integration of the "Galaxy natives" to the unit.
Put SGA season 1 on your watchlist if you haven't.
SG Universe would have been interesting on its own, but it was not "Stargate" in vibe nor quality.
The long "Somehow, Alchoolism in Space" arc was fucking garbage.
Yeah, I still enjoyed SGA for quite a while after the first season. It's only the main plot that took a bit of a dip after the first season. I'd say it took another season or two after that for other issues to crop up.
I think the replicator subplot, while actually kind of cool in a lot of ways, also felt a little forced. Particularly towards the end, as the show kept dangling a "dead, but maybe not totally dead" character in front of the audience.
That exactly what sprung to mind as the worse aspect of the show's decline. The Replicator arc(s) and how they dealt with Elizabeth. Stopped caring. A clash with Replicators had good potential, they screwed it up.
Someone made an unofficial watch order which includes the movies. I used it and everything seemed to line up pretty well.
Cool! Thanks
