You need to bear with it through the usual S1 growing pains
By today’s standards it’s almost unbearably 90s, especially during the first season (IMO)
It really does get great.
It made me cry at least a few times.
SG-1 was a great mixture of comedy and drama in sci-fi IMO, and while it’s not my very favorite franchise, it’s easily top 10 for me. If you haven’t seen it before it’s worth your time for sure!
Personally I feel like the show really finds it’s legs in S3 but kicks it into high gear for S6.
I’m sure every fan has a list of episodes you can skip, and while I do skip a lot of S1/2 depending on how long it’s been since I watched those particulars, personally I think they’re all important for Stargate as a whole. Necessary to watch on your second run I think, not necessarily for the first.
Luckily since I know the people I’ve watched it with pretty well, I know what can be skipped and what they’ll need to watch to really “get it”. And I summarize the episodes we skip. Sometimes I’ll even give them the option like “next episode is pretty slow, no real action but a lot of off-world things and important conversations/drama” and let them decide if they want to watch a slow episode or not.
Although honestly, how can you think the episodes where Daniel poses as Yu’s servant are boring? Sure no big explosions and action sequences, but it’s riveting.
The Stargate guy is crying in a corner
From all of them I’m only a fan of Stargate.
There are dozens of us.
I should rewatch sg1 again…
I just feel terrible that you guys don’t have the berth of content that star wars/star trek fans have. I should give stargate a try

Really I have to agree with that now that you mention it. I think it had been too long since I watched it. :)
I skip nothing on any show! I know people commonly do this, I just don’t. If I’m watching it, I’m watching it warts and all. 😁
