It’s slower paced, it feels a little bit like they were trying to cash in on the “mysterious things happen” and “long continuous story that if you miss one or two episodes you might be completely Lost”, pun intended since it feels like that’s the energy they were going for, from Lost.
Personally, I liked it. It’s slower paced than Atlantis was, less action packed, and heavily focuses on character drama.
And also leaves a massive fucking cliffhanger to end the series, from my understanding. I haven’t finished it because I knew they canceled it without finishing the story.
I love Eureka, but poor decisions were made regarding the sg-1/eureka “rivalry”. Basically the funding and attention left Stargate and went to eureka. They should both have recieved the attention they deserved but that’s a whole other rant lmao
So, while I REALLY enjoyed SG-1 the first time around, what would you say makes the show “worth it” for a re-watch these days? Nostalgia/reminiscing is enough on its own, for a more rare rewatch (like Babylon Five except that one I never watched live - I knew I couldn’t follow if I missed an episode so I just noped out entirely, then caught it later), but you made it sound like more than that. Was it just great for a first-time experience, to see things not normally seen in usual TV fare, or is there value in more?
Did you ever watch any of the ones past Atlantis - like Universe I guess - and if so were they any good at all?
Universe is a very different show.
