I’m loving SG-1 (first time watcher)

About 3 years ago, I watched the stargate movie and really loved it. I immediately tried to watch sg1 but had a really hard time due to the characters being recast with actors who are significantly different than their movie counterparts.

Well, I guess enough time has passed and I got through the first 3ish episodes and have been hooked since then.

I just started season 2 this afternoon.

Please no spoilers.

Stargate Viewing order

It's funny because after watching the series a few times, now I think it's the movie that was badly cast.
- Daniel from the tv show is so freaking good. The one in the movie was not bad, but the cast on tv is so good in comparison.
  
  The one in the Movie…
  Don’t do James Spader so dirty

Atlantis is great too.

- Loved Atlantis. Tbf, I loved Universe. Stargate is awesome.
  
  Another lover of Universe here.
- Thanks! My wife and I will watch Atlantis together one I finish sg1. She is a trekkie and is vaguely interested and when we saw mamoa was in it, I think she was sold.
  
  It might be worth watching them together. There are a few SG-1 and Atlantis crossover episodes, and the stories affect both series, rather than being one off gimmicks

Stargate SG-1 is awesome! It's my favourite Sci-fi show and I've probably rewatched it 4-5 times 😅
- Same here, I need to get back into Minecraft so I can rewatch it for the X time.
  I mostly consume media while playing Minecraft, I have a map I have played for many many years in singleplayer/creative mode while watching sci-fi series in VLC in a tiny window in the corner of my screen...

I envy you

I love sg1. I think I first got hooked on Atlantis and eventually properly picked sg1 later since I only knew it from watching some random eps passively on tv I think.
I freaking love it. It's one of my favorite shows. The mythology and character development over so many seasons is amazing and exactly what I want from a story, specially for long running ones.
You are in for an amazing trip, since the first episodes are usually the weakest when a new show starts until the characters and the actors are properly in sync and comfortable with each other.
I've only watched it 2 or 3 times. I should probably plan a new rewatch.
- The Stargate series literally have the best tool for storytelling: The Stargate itself. You can literally tell any story you want, because anything could literally be on other end of the wormhole.
  I don’t understand why we haven’t gotten any proper Stargate games yet…

Please no spoilers.
I tecommend not being too worried if you do see a spoiler about the show because it is done vey well overall and the way the episodes play out tends to be far more important than any twists or reveals.
