About 3 years ago, I watched the stargate movie and really loved it. I immediately tried to watch sg1 but had a really hard time due to the characters being recast with actors who are significantly different than their movie counterparts.
Well, I guess enough time has passed and I got through the first 3ish episodes and have been hooked since then.
I just started season 2 this afternoon.
Please no spoilers.
What helped me is having no expectations and not looking at it as a Stargate show. It is kinda good that way. Come season 2, Stargate vibes start to shine through, especially in the second half. It really got cancelled just as it got really good.
