I’m loving SG-1 (first time watcher) (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

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.

Loved Atlantis. Tbf, I loved Universe. Stargate is awesome.

I want to enjoy it, but I've tried multiple times and I just can't make it through.

What helped me is having no expectations and not looking at it as a Stargate show. It is kinda good that way. Come season 2, Stargate vibes start to shine through, especially in the second half. It really got cancelled just as it got really good.

I've watched a few episodes. It's just very different vibe and show. After some episodes I started to care for what was happening a little, but yeah, it's not for everyone. I don't even remember anything about it besides that they were on the edges of what is known and there was Oneil being a badass.

My issue with Universe was the vibe and tone. It was very far from the kinda cozy, friendly and adventurous group of SG-1. Universe was filled with drama, assholes and was very gloomy.

On its own, Universe was okay. Especially season 2, but it just didn’t fit “The Stargate universe”.

It was around the time SciFi was becoming dark and moody (i.e. BattleStar Galactica and stuff). This just kind of followed the formula.
