While we are talking SG-1 TV show, I have a question if you don't mind. I have been looking to get into another Sci Fi show, and have been thinking about giving this a chance. But I have read a couple of places that Season 1 isn't the best. I can rarely get into a show if I do not start at the beginning, so jumping ahead is out of the question for me. So if I take the chance and buy Season 1, do you think I will still find enough enjoyment in it to push through until the better seasons.

Had the same issue with Babylon 5 and never did get through the first season.

Here is a alittle info on my Sci Fi TV watching habits, it may help you.


Watched almost all of X-Files - Like It

Watched all of Farscape - Love It

Watched all of Battlestar Galactica (New) - Love it, but my love has waivered a bit in Season 4

Watched quite a bit of Star Trek:TNG - Like It

Have never been able to get into: Babylon 5, other Star Treks that are not TNG.

If you can push through season 1, seasons 2-4 of Babylon 5 make it worth it. Season 5 is skippable IMHO. It's not bad, it's just not necessary after they rushed to finish the series at the end of S4.

Stargate comes highly recommended. Perfect balance of standalone storytelling and ongoing story arcs and threads.

You should be able to get through the first season I don’t think it was really that bad, they are some good episodes during Season 1. It may not be the strongest season but I think it’s better than some of the seasons of the X-Files during it's run.

As for Babylon 5, I don’t care too much for Season 1 my problem was with Jeffrey Sinclair. Once your pass season 1 though it much better Season 2-4 are great. Season 5 not bad, but it felt the like J. Michael Straczynski didn’t know where to take the story.
