Just finished up Season 5 of SG1 last night. Once I finish all 10 of these I'm moving to Atlantis. Then right into the new series.
Also, is it wrong that for pax I really wanted to order some Jaffa cakes from the UK then get printed out pictures of Teal'c to put on them?
Start watching Atlantis when you are at Season 8 of SG-1. They ran concurrently for a couple of years, with a bit of crossover and references to each other.
Seriously. SG-1 was pretty good. The post-mortem seasons weren't great, but they weren't horrible. SGA was okay, but got bad when they started recycling SG-1 plots in season two, that turned me against it.
I.....don't know about this one. I'm very concerned about the young looking cast. Then again, Daniel and Carter looked young at the beginning of SG-1, especially compared to how they look now. I'm also not thrilled about yet another "lost in space" premise. Still, we'll have to see how it goes, I guess.
I like the movie and most of SG-1, but the later seasons seemed to get kind worn out and a bit distant from the things I always liked about it.
I never liked Atlantis. It felt too much like a spin-off in the beginning (I know it was one, but that's no excuse), and by the time it got over that it was just too ridiculous. There wasn't really enough space between the "Look at me, I'm a wacky Canadian!" days and the "Nothing short of a god can really even inconvenience us" days for my taste. Then they started fighting actual gods, and I had pretty much written it off.
Then they started winning.
The new show sounds a lot more like a Star Trek than a Stargate, but I'm hoping thing being so removed from the rest of the setting will reset the power levels a bit. I like the "primitive explorers holding of the little wormy guys with shear grit and determination" Stargate more than the "killing gods by virtue of being the technological center of two galaxies" Stargate. I don't expect Universe to be much like either of those, but I'm hoping it's good.

I never ever liked Vala. She was a terrible character. I did like Mitchell, though.

But really, it would have gotten pretty damn boring if it was always "oh look, we just barely held off our imminent doom once again and hey, we're about to get some great new technology but oh noes, it just escapes our grasp yet again!" I mean, they had to make some forward progress.

Definitely, I'd even say they got rather close as it is. They took it way too far in the other direction, though.
Of course, there's nothing saying the series had to continue at all. It's okay for a show to have a definite end, it's just not as profitable.
I liked Vala, in the end, but I do think that between her introduction and her integration as a regular cast member they kind of dicked her up a bit. I think they tried too hard to make her seem damaged. I get they kind of wanted to show how lucky Earth humans were, in the grand scheme of things, to have been relatively isolated from Gou'ald, but....yeah...

Man, I just love seeing Jaffa in action. I mean, look at Ronen Dax, they had to bring his ass in 'cause atlantis had a serious lack of muscle.
Robert Carlyle is the fucking man.
Except when he was in Eragon. That movie can suck my dick.
Or do they need to be chevrons with techron?
Shit
For a second there I thought Skull Man was unbanned

Not as good as the repeating time episode though.

This just in, Variety says I'm going to be starring in the next one.

Also SG-Atlantis was alright once it had been long enough since I'd seen any decent stargate.
I believe in this

I like my coffee like I like my Jaffa - strong, black and poised upon the threshold to another galaxy.
