Stargate SG1 was so versatile. Somehow it pulled off episodes as different as ‘Heroes’ and ‘200’, with each feeling perfectly at home in the show. (lemmy.world)

SG1 is a show that I feel never made a mistep to the point where I can call out a bad episode. Unlike various star trek series that had their WTF episodes that are generally disliked.

I always hoped for one more piece of the story with the original team, details were floating around of the final movie and I think covid killed that off.

"Emancipation" is pretty fucking cringe.

Fun note, same writer as that terrible TNG episode with the same plot.

This is hilariously topical.

I am just getting into the series after having watch the film various times over the years. It really feels a bit, "religion of the week" right now and I am struggling with some of these episodes. I really like the characters but my goodness was that Emancipation episode awful. Would you encourage me to press through?

Absolutely keep going. The first season has a couple stinkers. The show finds its groove soon.

Cringe but watchable is still good lol

Disagree.

I guess I'm the only one who actively hated '200' when it aired.

The show was great, I've watched every episode multiple times (except '200').

But there was a very clear quality decrease as time went on, I mean they even started letting Teal'c write a handful of 'em.
