Yeah, I never watched Atlantis. My ol' friend who recommended SG-1 (years ago) said the other series weren't worth watching, but maybe he just meant Universe. What was wrong with Universe?
I just watched some YouTube clips of Atlantis and saw Colm Meaney makes some appearances. So.. adding to the list!
The optimal way to watch Stargate, and the way it originally aired, is alternating episodes of SG-1 and Atlantis starting with the former's season 8 and the latter's season 1.
Universe had a drastic tone and characterization change from the other Stargate shows, it's much more tonally similar to Battlestar Galactica than Stargate. SG-1 and Atlantis are about competent professionals who enjoy each others' company, while Universe is about a bunch of petulant children who hate and are constantly scheming against each other.
No, I don't like BSG either.
Ah good to know.
I did enjoy BSG, but it took some episodes to appreciate. And I had to accept the fact that the characters were pretty incompetent. They weren’t the best or brightest due to the circumstances and had to adapt to survive.
I made it about halfway through season 2 and found myself rooting for the Cylons to kill every named character including the Cylon ones.
