Rewatch: Stargate SG-1 (2019)
The genius of SG1 was that while it was largely an episodic, planet of the week style format of Star Trek, it still had a really strong story arc. So it works both as a show you can dip into randomly but also as something to binge watch.<p>I also really love the comical elements. Back when all other Sci-Fis largely took themselves seriously, SG1 wasn’t afraid to poke fun at itself. But it did itself in a way that didn’t detract the audience away from the seriousness of the plot. There’s even points where it breaks the four wall: like the 200th episode, which is a dig at itself, saying to the audience “we know this show is ridiculous at times but thank you for playing along”. The closest Star Trek got with that was the DS9 episode “Trials and Tribble-ations” (where the cast of the Defiant were sent backward in time to assist Captain Kirk).
