Star Gate: SG1...is it worth it?

I saw it is on Netflix and always enjoyed the movie. Is it worth the time to watch 10 seasons?

Absolutely. To me, most of the series is better than the movie- more developed, created a fantastic and very believable (for sci fi) world.

It DOES start to run out of gas about 7-8 seasons into it, but fortunately this overlaps with Stargate Atlantis, which is fresh and great again for quite a few more seasons.

I might trigger some old school fans by saying this, but I think it's a better, more realistic concept than Star Trek, and was done as well as could be hoped for.

If you like Scifi then SG-1 is definitely worth watching. They generally had a good balance between monster of the week and advancing the main story arc.

I forgot they had Atlantis. What was that one about?

Some people like Atlantis better than SG-1. The bad guys in Atlantis are more compelling which usually makes for a better story.

If you like SG-1 you should watch Atlantis too. This board is pretty hard on SG-U. I personally enjoyed watching it, but some people found some aspects of the show hard to get past. Rape Stones might be the most commonly used phrase by people in the SG-U threads on this board.

Yes, SG1 is easily one of my top 3 shows of all time.

If you really liked the movie, you'd probably like the first couple seasons of SG1. I don't really think there's any reason to binge all the way through season 10 though. It drops off a lot after some big resolutions. I never binged it though, just watched on regular television.

I am currently on my 3rd re-watch and still think it is very top notch!

Though I will admit that for some reason I'm more aggravated with Daniel this time more than ever. Friendship aside I think Jack in a private moment would have really considered removing him from the team. Also I realized that he has always done stupid stuff but its just bothering me more this time through.

Others have already replied but I will agree with them. SG-1 was an excellent show that really started cooking around the second season (the first was good) and was tremendous until they finally started to run out of steam around season 7. That's a pretty darn good run for a TV show to do that well for that long.

Yes though I got kinda tired of it after maybe season 4 or 5

Amazon is currently trying to purchase the studio that holds Stargate.

I thought I had read somewhere that Netflix was going to pick up SG-1 for a continuation of the series. It might have some of the older recurring characters, but for the most part it’s a new cast.

I'm doing my first watch of it and am in Season 9 and I enjoy it.

I did not follow that post below, wish I would have seen it. I'm just finishing off SG-1 then I'll start SGA and the movies.

Absolutely

Especially Window of Opportunity
Stargate SG-1 episode (season 4, episode 6)

Best Episode ever.
