Hi, I just wanna know whether there are list of episodes which stick to the main plot, such as fighting against goauld and later orai. I would like to watch this series without "side missions" as a long movie. Does enybody knows about something like this? thx

A couple of thoughts...
First and foremost being that this is a terrible way to watch this show. There's an argument to be made that SG-1 featured a lot of 'episodic' characteristics, and while not precisely untrue, it also misses the key point that the show was also extremely effective at planting a lot of little seeds along the way in episodes that are otherwise innocuous or unimportant. As the series went on, there were also more and more and more references back to the events of previous episodes which run the gamut from plot-pivotal to plot-irrelevant. Without the necessary context of watching it all, I can see this coming across like gibberish.
This is also absolutely the worst way to watch the show if you want to have any kind of a feel for the evolution of the characters or the storylines, as in doing so you're effectively just 'reading the chapter titles' rather than the book itself. You'll lurch from one major story point to the next, with no time spent on allowing the stories to 'breathe' and develop naturally.
On a more functional level...
I should also say that this list is one that I tried to keep pared down the bare minimum number of episodes, in keeping with the original request. Sometimes this means that one of these episodes ends on or begins from a cliffhanger, because I felt that the following/preceding part didn't fit into the scope of what you'd asked for.
It also means that I can't say I love all of these episodes. Some are a bit dull or even bad, but they matter because they provide key plot points that are necessary for understanding later episodes featuring the same characters/organizations/storylines.
All that said...here you go:

This is great, I thank you very much. I have to say I love this series and I saw it all several times, films included. After Anderson leaves, SG1 losts much from its attraction for me, but I saw it all, I have been wathing SGA, but I quit somewhere in fourth season, because its cannot competite to SG1.
Thank you again, I will just mark those epissodes and try watch only those marked. I am wonder how its will look like.Comment

Oh, I disagree, Digifluid. Your first few paragraphs were an important outline of how the show really worked.

Oh I stand by what I said for newcomers! But the OP said s/he has seen it all before, so no harm no foul if they skip things, because they've already seen it

Could you actually go straight from "threads" to Continuum without affecting the main story all that much?
AoT really serves to wrap up the Ori arc, so if you ignore 9-10 and AoT, would you not satisfy the character fans?sigpicALL THANKS TO THE WONDERFUL CREATOR OF THIS SIG GO TO R.I.G.A lie is just a truth that hasn't gone through conversion therapy yetThe truth isn't the truthComment

Well, Continuum is the conclusion of the Ba'al arc from seasons 9-10, so there is a bit a gap there. If you're rewatching you should probably see some or all of those last two season Ba'al episodes. And if you're not rewatching then I'd say definitely go through them as otherwise you'd be in for a surprise when all of the sudden there's Cameron, Laundry, and Vala running around and references are made to past Ba'al clones.Originally posted by Gatefan1976 View PostLast edited by Xaeden; 21 September 2017, 06:06 PM.Comment
