My next binge: Stargate SG-1

It's going to seem a little dated and the budget is definitely less... but there are some really good seasons.

I actually liked the last few when all the Farscape cast showed up.

Do it, still a fantastic show.

It's a different sort of show than Battlestar. Battlestar is almost like a huge movie in how the episodes build on each other. SG-1 is a lot more episodic, if that's saying it correctly. I think you can take episodes just by themselves and catch them out of sequence some, and it's fairly unaffected as long as you know enough of the background. Maybe I just think that because that's how I always caught it. I never made a point to watch them in order. I would just occasionally watch an episode when I happened to catch one on.

I enjoyed the episodes I've watched although I think I'm missing some of the bigger picture. I've thought about trying to go back and watch through, but it just seems like a lot to actually get through. Maybe I'll start chipping away.

It rates up there for me as far as sci fi series goes. Ahead of it I can only for sure put B5 and DS9.

It's definitely worth the watch. Like others have already said, you can't compare it to BSG, but that doesn't mean that it isn't a good series. It is actually one of my favorite scifi series, mainly because it was always consistent and lasted so long. It's definitely worth the investment.

I binged SG-1 a few years ago when my wife was out of town over about a month. It was one of the better binge experiences I've had. They keep throwing enough new stuff at you each week that even a standard Monster of the Week episode can feel like a main arc advancement "You mean the (RandomMyth) were aliens too?!" If you like SG-1 you'll want to watch Stargate Atlantis as well.
