I’ve never watch the movie StarGate, or watch the TV show. So i was wondering if it was good? I know it was one of the more popular SciFi shows. And now that the first season is on Hulu i think i might watch it.
How was the first season? Is this the type of show i have to watch a few episode to get in to it?
OMG….it is one of the best shows ever created for television!
My suggestion is that you first watch the original movie with Kurt Russell and James Spader because that will give you the basic background for the series and then start watching Stargate SG-1….if you like science fiction, then you should like the movie and the television show.
Enjoy!
….and as always….
Have A Very Stargate Day!

I agree with BillieO. You’ll be able to watch Stargate (movie) and jump right into Stargate SG-1, because it is actually set up that way – the pilot episode is essentially an extension of the movie.
I’m a huge fan of the series (up to where Richard Dean Anderson leaves, its ok at that point, but not as good – season 9ish). There are a few eps in the first season you can tell were done on a shoestring budget, but it gets more and more polished as it goes. The story never falters (… again until about s9).
I never got into Atlantis – but I have good hopes for Universe.
I’m as big a sci-fi geek as there is, but SG1 never really “hooked” me. I’ve seen 9 of the 10 seasons, and someday will probably catch the 10th, but it’s not a priority for me.
IMO, it was always “ok,” but never really crossed the “good/great” barrier. And it also took a couple of seasons to hit its stride. Most shows do, though, so I don’t hold that against it.
I enjoyed what I’ve seen of Atlantis. TBH, I’d have to say I prefer Atlantis to SG1, but I’ve also not seen all of it, nor is it any kind of priority for me.
I will agree with the prior posters though — if you’re going to watch it, watch the movie 1st, then the R-rated Showtime pilot episode, and only then go into the series itself.
Thanks for the great post. I really love this tv series. Can’t wait for the another season ! Keep up the awesome work with that
