Voyager's still better than Enterprise. Good thing nobody from that show was on Stargate.

DS9 tried selling the Jem'Hadar as some unbeatable supersoldier, but they turned out to be as intimidating as wet cardboard. Meanwhile, SG-1 did a really good job making the Kull look unkillable

Welp I've just started season 6 and Daniel's been replaced by generic soldier man. His "quick study" schtick is getting very old.
Feeling like the writers are out of ideas and the technobable is reaching Voyager level. Please tell me this gets better..

Well Danny comes back eventually but then you have to deal with O'Neill being replaced by a Temu version. I'd still say the whole thing is worth finishing at least once.
 
Where I started to throw in the towel was Vala becoming part of the team and then the Ori storyline. I still don't think I've watched all the Ori episodes because it was just too exhausting.

I watched it, I didn’t throw my TV out the window, I actually liked it more than most. But it's pretty much late-season X-Files (with Doggett and that odd woman who talks to whales). There's still some flashes of brilliance, but it's the not the stuff you re-watch, or show to your future kids.

SG1 is just so damn comfy.
Having a bad day?
Just watch Tealc being a badass mofo who is also the funniest guy ever.
 
Resurrecting this thread. I'm on season 5 of SG-1 right now and it's got to be one of my favorite shows. I've never seen it before, and decided to watch it on a whim after seeing the movie. I like how it balances out "comedy" (comic-relief?) with playing the situations totally straight. A nice balance where it doesn't feel quippy, and yet it doesn't have its head up its own ass over how serious and grimdark it is. One of the things that I like about it over even Classic Star Trek is that the characters aren't afraid to sometimes just shoot everyone and blow the place up. Sometimes in TNG, which is probably my favorite show and definitely my favorite Sci-Fi, they take this conciliatory "peace-loving" "non-inteference" thing to the point of absurdity, whereas with SG-1 sometimes they're just going to kill you and get the fuck out of there. It's incredibly refreshing when the genre is filled with this kind of "we just have to find another way!" kind of storytelling.

Very pleased with it so far.

Not to get massively spergilicious about it, but I think Stargate tries to be a lot more human than other franchises. Like Star Wars is full of space wizards and zany aliens, Star Trek is so optimistic about a universal brighter future (at least from what I've watched), but Stargate is just mostly regular humans doing things. At least in what are widely considered the best seasons, it has people that feel like you might run into them in a 7/11 off of a USAF base fighting existential threats, and that's what I think appeals to a lot of people.

Maybe I am reading too much into it with my lense of nostalgia.

Stargate is still my favorite show of all time.
 
People... there are reruns of Stargate SG-1 to watch. And I just finished my rewatch of DS9 so we are totally fucking back.

Tonight's episode was a two-parter of Stargate Atlantis called The Return. When last we left our team of idiots, Dr. "Adolf" Wier had betrayed the Replicators for a second time, proving that humanity is entrely untrustworthy. We are given a new piece of tech which is a stargate bridge that connects the Milky Way with the Atlantis galaxy and that totally won't backfire in future episodes. A ship of Ancients shows up and our crew helps them and is rewarded by having Atlantis taken from them. OOPS!

This was actually a okay two-parter but mostly because it was a SG-1 episode at least half of the time and Richard Dean Anderson was a guest star. Robert Picardo also showed up, so it was fun! Blah blah blah they stopped a bunch of Replicators and save the day. It was kind of a relief to not have to deal with the Wraith as an enemy. I don't find them very interesting... they're no Goa'uld. The Genii show up for all of 30 seconds. What a wasted plotline the Genii ended up being. What is it with Colm Meaney getting decent roles but then not sticking with them?

It was a good showing for Atlantis, which was sorely needed. The third season has been a lot of dumb shit built on top of bad decisions and coated with a lack of internal consistency that makes for a frustrating experience.

Four more episodes to go before I can get back to season 10 of SG-1. The Ori slop is way better than anything Atlantis is offering.
 
I haven't watched any Stargate in many years, but I really enjoyed SG-1 and what little I saw of SGA (Jason Momoa blasting enemies with his Dirty Harry blaster was alway cool.)

I'm still in my annual re-watch of Married With Children, but apparently I can watch SG-1 on Pluto TV, so I'm gonna start watching that once I'm done.
