I started with the movie, on VHS. I grew up on Star Wars, Star Trek, BSG, etc, so would make a beeline for the scifi section of the video shop. IIRC I pulled out Stargate because of the mythology - I'm more interested in Greek and Celtic mythology, but the Egyptian mythology combined with scifi was enough to interest me - and James Spader, of course.
Loved the movie, and was happy to follow on to SG-1 when it aired in Aus. The first episode to really hook me and elevate SG beyond just 'something fun to watch' was The Torment of Tantalus. I loved that episode (yes, it still moves me to tears).
Finally it was SGA that pushed me over the edge and into fandom. I love the whole series, but watching the city come out of the water in Rising is STILL awesome.
I agree with James Spader - although Michael Shanks didn't take long to adjust to! I was relieved that Kurt Russell didn't come over to the series though - I just can't warm up to him for some reason.
