There, just finished my 7th watching of Stargate SG-1. The show is holding up pretty well, and as fun the 7th time as it was the 1st time.

It's also now tied with Star Trek Deep Space Nine as my second most watched series. The first is still Babylon 5, which I've now watched 9 times.

It appears I don't really need anyone to make new TV series. I have all I need on Bluray. 😁

@folfdk @zeitverschreib Yeah, this exchange is ever-green, even though it aired in 1998:

General Hammond: "Colonel, the United States is not the in the business of interfering in other people's affairs."
Colonel O'Neill: "Since when, sir?"

When I say "holds up well" I mean story-wise. It is clear that the budget didn't always allow them to make it as good as it could have been. Dropping expensive scenes, using low quality CGI, using clearly painted backdrops, shooting outdoor scenes on indoor stages without having the resources or time to make it not look like indoors, poorly overlayed green screen shots, etc. There are a lot of scenes that probably looked fine on DVD and low res TV, but not so much on HD Blurays.

@pilum I always watch Atlantis as well, including the three season overlap. So this to will be the 7th time for this one too.

I started watching Stargate when SG-1 was airing the 6th season, so I've always watched them like that.

I always start with the 1994 movie and end SG-1 with The Ark of Truth, which I did just now. Next up is the season finale of Atlantis season 3.

@glloyd The 2021 Bluray boxset of all three series is ok, but keep in mind the first 7 seasons of SG-1 are not originally HD quality, so the Blurays are not great. I ran them through an enhancement filter, which cleared them up a bit.

I did the same with the Star Trek Enterprise Blurays too. They have a lot of compression artifacts and colour banding.
