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.

    There was effort on the Atlantis show runners’ part to give it a distinct identity. While SG1 characters do show up, the show holds off because it is trying to get people invested in the Atlantis characters.

    If you’re a Trekkie, it’s sort of like DS9 and Voyager. Technically they overlap and there are references to events in DS9 in Voyager, but it’s stuff on the edges that you can probably figure out the context even if you don’t know the details of the other show.
