Most SGU-like SGA/SG1 episodes?

[Adrian_Jackson]

I've grown so accustomed to SGU that SG-1 and SGA seem very...off to me when I watch them. I want to ease myself back into those shoes because I still like them. They're Stargate! So I ask of you guys:

What episodes of SG-1 and SGA are most like SGU?

I'll get rid of the easy choices.

- Heroes, Pt. 1
- Heroes, Pt. 2

[KEK]

Doppelgänger and Tabula Rasa have a similar vibe I think.

[Duneknight]

wow nice topic. so many choices, have to go back to the episode guide. How about those?

Season 2:

- Need
- Family
- Message in a Bottle

Here's a couple from Season 1 of SG-1:

Cold Lazarus
Solitudes

From Season 3 of SG-1:

A Hundred Days

and finally from Season 6 of SG-1:

Abyss

There's probably many more but these came to mind.

SG1 Grace

[Petra]

Generally, I'd say everything (bar comedy eps) from seasons 1-6, but especially:

Abyss - psychological, slow-paced, character-focused drama
Red Sky - dark theme (end of civilization, people just sitting around and waiting to die), SG team commander losing his cool
The Warrior - suicide bombers, fanatism
Shades of Grey - immoral actions of the SGC officers
The Other Side - cold-blooded murder
Beneath the Surface - dark visually, slow-paced character drama & romance
2010 - time travel, correcting mistakes, death of all characters
Absolute Power - Daniel as greedy, arrogant dictator
Entity - slow paced character drama, Carter's 'posession'
Threshold - total backstory with dark elements like killing an innocent to save yourself
Unnatural Selection - dark story with morally ambiguous finale

By season:

1
The Broca Divide - making out
The First Commandment - insane SG teamm leader, "wrong man for the job"
Cold Lazarus - maritial problems, character-focused drama
Singularity - SG-1 team taking care of the little girl who's been assassinated
Cor-Ai - war crimes tribunal, slow-paced
Solitudes - slow-paced character drama

2
ItLoD - Carter's 'transformation'
Need - daniel's dark side, addiction
Family - family-oriented character drama, torture to break mind-control
Secrets - family drama, a baby, Washington politics
Serpent's Song - slow paced character drama in which Jack and Teal'c show their dark, merciless side

Ah, forget it, I'd have to list 1/3-1/2 of each season...

Some examples from seasons 7 and 8:

Heroes
Grace
Orpheus
New Order (esp. part 2)
Affinity
Covenant
