    SG-1 & SGA Audio Dramas

    So Big Finish Audio, the guys behind all of the Doctor Who Audio Dramas, and a heap of original programming in the Audio Drama Sphere (which is still big in Britain) have the rights to Stargate SG1 and Stargate Atlantis and have done a bunch of Stargate Audio Dramas (capital letters)!

    At first glance (and listening to the trailers) they seem to mostly be first-person narrations of stories with flashbacks within them, focusing on one or two main characters from the series. I love the other stuff BF do, but I'm not sure my nostalgia-goggles can take sub-par Stargate (says the guy who just watched Emancipation. Gah!).

    Has anyone listened to any of these and are they worthwhile? Even half-decent writing would be worth it to listen to fav actors playing fav characters once more.

      They're mostly pretty good. Shell Game (the first Vala/Daniel one) is one of the few audiobooks that is always on my phone. The only ones I didn't particularly like were the Walter and Lorne ones.

        That's a shame. Walter and Lorne are awesome characters. What steered them wrong? Bad writing? Or was their grasp of acting for audio only somewhat lacking?

          Season 1 and 2 are 2 actor stories, with a main actor.

          Season 3 is a multi-actor drama much more in the vein of their Dr Who stories. Very enjoyable. A feel fan niggles but I'd definitely give them a try!

              The Walter one I think was just personal preference. I had some problems with the concept behind the Lorne one. It was a cool sci-fi idea, but I don't think it really fit with Atlantis.

              I agree with Pookey about the Zelenka ones being good. Probably my two favorites of the Atlantis ones.
