so i'm still new at this whole stargate thing. i just picked it up and i really enjoy it. i like watching tv shows in order. i'm up to the start the 4th season of sg-1. should i wait and finish all of sg-1 and atlantis before i start SGU? or is it made to stand alone but previous known knowledge helps? or what? i want to enjoy the experience to the fullest, but not miss out on the fun.

It probably doesn't matter, but it wouldn't hurt. I'm sure you'll probably be able to finish by the time the first episode airs. -
You seem like you really like the show. If thats the case, I'd definitely start out with the original Stargate Movie then start with SG1 season 1Originally posted by abeprs View PostBSG (Drama/Soap Opera)
Soap Opera: The main characteristics that define soap operas are "an emphasis on family life, personal relationships, sexual dramas, emotional and moral conflicts; some coverage of topical issues; set in familiar domestic interiors with only occasional excursions into new locations
Drama: A drama film is a film genre that depends mostly on in-depth development of realistic characters dealing with emotional themes
SG1/SGA are not Drama/Soap although some elements are touched on to add depth to these action/adventure series. If you want to see a show focused on Soap/Drama go watch BSG or Days of our Lives.Comment

This. They're making an effort to make the show accessible to new viewers, so it won't be necessary to have seen any Stargate before, but I suspect that it would add to the experience. If you've got enough time on your hands I'd definitely recommend it, as SGU won't be out until October anyway, but if you haven't, I wouldn't worry about it.Originally posted by abeprs View Post

Experience it the fullest = watch everything before it.
I bid you good luck.Comment

Do what I did and watch AOK before watching any SG1 at all....I had no bloody idea what was going on haha.sigpicComment

What is AOK? where you meaning AOT as in Ark of Truth? And to the starter of the thread Welcome to the family personally i would watch in the order the shows were broadcast to get the full feel of the universe, hope you become as addicted as the rest of us.Originally posted by Phenom View PostComment

I think it would be okay to watch SGU before you finish the rest of the
stargate series. I didn't watch any sg1 before i started watching atlantis. I did not make it hard to understand the show.Comment

Didn't they say Atlantis was going to be made so you didn't have to watch SG-1 to understand it? Somehow by watching the Pilot, I find it doubtfull that firstime viewers understood what was going on in the first few episodes.Comment

No one's gonna really be able to answer that till it comes out, I guess you wouldn't have to since they are trying to reach a new audience but who knows. Go ahead and watch SG-1 and Atlantis now though you got plenty of time.Comment

With this stand alone flavor of stargate series. You don't need to know much.
but SGU wil be to different compared to SG1 & atlantis.
Humor action hero stuff vs Drama+ bit humor surfival style.
Because it's so different it makes me more curious. Altho I don't like drama but prefere aktion humor stuf.Comment
