To Stargate or not to Stargate
Warm Glow of TV September 10th. 2009, 11:52am
I’m sort of excited about the new Stargate Universe show starting on October 2nd. I like Robert Carlyle and I’m even interested to see what Lou Diamond Phillips can do with a regular TV character.
This begs the question… do I need to watch the other shows in the franchise to fully appreciate this new series? I took a quick look in to it and to my suprise and horror, I discovered that there are 10 seasons of SG-1 with 214 episodes and 2 movies and 5 seasons of SG Atlantis with 100 episodes! This doesn’t even include the animated series that isn’t strickly considered canon.
Geez. That is a lot of time debt to get caught up. Any Stargate fans or haters out there? Is it even worth it?

I’ve only watched Atlantis, first couple seasons. It seemed to stand on it’s own. I’ve thought about watching the original series, but yeah, it is a lot of time.

Well, I watched the Pilot episode of SG-1 last night. One down, 213 to go.
