Hi, I’m considering getting into Stargate. I only know it’s based on a movie and the franchise consists of 3 tv shows. I don’t know anything about the setting / plot.

I’m a massive Star Trek and Babylon 5 geek. I don’t know if Stargate is for me, though and I don’t want to invest many hours before I might find it’s not for me.

Maybe you people here can provide some info about the plot, pros & cons of the franchise and explain to me what got you hooked.

Looking forward to your replies.

PS: I don’t live under a rock, but somehow I managed to dodge everything about the franchise.

PSS: would I start with the movie and then SG-1? Are there other critical things to know?

    This was an amazing summary. Thank you. I think I’ll check it out tomorrow. And yeah, ‘code of honor’ was terrible. I watched it recently during another TNG binge. So, thanks for the heads up. I’ll watch that episode through a lense.

      In light of the numbering weirdness for episode one and/or two, the one to avoid is called “Emancipation.” The screenwriter stuck with the show, and wrote a handful of good episodes… that just wasn’t one of them. Or two of them.
