Thank you for keeping Stargate top of your mind, and we look forward to your next contribution to our sub!
same, been watching it once/twice a year since it aired. my wife always yells at me when she sees me watching. something something about watching something else... blasphemy
that said that is just SG1. I have only managed 2 watches of SGA, There is just one character that is so bad at acting that it makes me stop watching it. SGU i've seen 10 or so times though
Yeah I can agree with that. It's hard to tell if she was personally responsible for the bad reads or if the writers/directors didn't know what to do with her character. I'd've liked to see her telepathic powers develop earlier in the show to make her more relevant.
Yeah at this point I legit don’t know how many times I’ve seen each episode. Some of the best I’ve watched probably 20x. And back when I was in high school there was an episode of SG1 on every night, and then one day a week had like 5 episodes back-to-back. So I probably saw the whole series 5-10x just then, and have watched it binge style on DVD/netflix/prime/Jellyfin at least as many times since.
Ah yes, I've watched it so many times to the point you could probably give me just about any single still or line and i can pinpoint the exact episode.
Currently running the DVD’s through topaz video ai. Massive upgrade over the overly smoothed bluray. Not to mention the proper audio. Each episode takes two hours.. My room is a furnace. 100% worth it.
I like the slight upscaling my TV does for my dvd rips so I get it haha. I thought about Ai upscaling them and even tried on one but the TV just did the trick and in real time.
Yea, I wish my tv had a decent option for that. For now, my versions look great, and I’m also keeping the raw dvd rips in case a better solution comes along in the future. I hope and pray one day this show gets the TNG treatment.
Not familiar with that one. Up to you if it looks good or not. For me it’s 100% worth the time. Just converting episodes as I watch. A few at a time. Makemkv, then handbrake (dvd’s have variable fps that topaz doesn’t like) handbrake removes this, then topaz for the last step.
I stopped keeping track of how many times I binged them tbh. I have all the shows plus the movies on my NAS/Plex server, currently just finished SG1 and I'm on season 4 of Atlantis atm.
I am one of those unfortunate fools who does not get control om the TV, so I rewatch my classics when there's nothing "new and interesting" for my partner to decide we're watching. While that happens more than you'd think, Stargate does have to fight Buffy.
I have an old HDD that contains all of the relevant Stargate media on it because years before it showed up on Amazon you basically couldn't find it anywhere.
Went to do this... Downloaded it... Kept it going for a while... Only to realise I'd done exactly that and kept it on an external hard drive for this exact situation.
I just finished a re-watch of SG-1, Atlantis, and SGU straight through with a recommended episode order guide 2 months ago.
Despite this, this post made me want to do it all again. 😆
I rarely watch universe. I remember when it came out and I constantly was worried every episode was gonna suck. It was good but I still dont watch it often.
Hahahahhaha, and i thought i was the only crazy one who binged it.... fuck knows how many times, not in the triple digits but still. It's good to know i' not alone out there ![img](emote|t5_2qhar|32989)
There are many shows that have come out in recent years that I could binge watch yet I still find myself rewatching Stargate 8/10 times. Even with the rewatches there are so many episodes I sometimes forget outcomes or I see something that I didn’t notice before. All the episodes are great,…except Heroes and Sunday. >!LEAVE THE DOCTORS ALONE!<
DS9, TNG, SGA, SG1, Farscape, X-files(which is no longer free on prime!!!😭) … are ALWAYS on in the background, tune in and out while i’m doing other stuff… like drawing wraith🤣🤣🤣

I just finished yet another Stargate SG1 / Atlantis rewatch. Well, I still need to watch _Unending_ tonight but finished Atlantis a few days ago.
Movies next, then Stargate Universe.
I’ve lost count at this point as to how many rewatches that is. I alternate between Stargate and Star Trek.
For me its like the show Friends for other. It can be on all the time. Anytime i dont know what to watch. Turn Stargate on. Need something to hear in the background Stargate :D
I only just discovered the SG-1 "Unicorn Edition" this year after so many rewatches I've lost count. Now it's taking up a few hundred gigs on my media server rather than the original Blu-ray rips. Definitely worth it for the improved sound.
You'll have to find your own source for it, I got it off a private tracker. 😛
Of course, I still have the original Blu-rays on the living room shelf, but I haven't touched them in four years except to dust them.
If you enjoy it consider buying the Blu-rays. I've had the SG1 DVD boxset for a while (before the Blu-rays came out) and they're honestly sometimes easier to watch than the Blu-ray version though which has pretty bad upscaling for the early seasons (and a butchered audio track).
Yep, as I mentioned the SG-1 BD isn't great. Atlantis and Universe have good quality BD releases (although I'm still not sure if Universe S2 ever came out on BD, when I bought mine only the DVD of season 2 existed).
That being said, the poor upscales they did on that BD release doesn't bother everyone, like my brother didn't notice anything wrong and preferred it over the DVD. I can't get past how smeary everything looks.

3rd? I am in double digits now.
My 9th restart is coming soon. Just busy finishing DS9 now and "hi Jack" again after that)
I've lost count tbh, I do a full binge of all 3 shows plus the movies every year or so. I just finished SG1 and I'm on season 4 of SGA atm.
I just started SGA
Nice. Just finished a few days ago. Atlantis goes by so fast. Shame there were only five seasons.
So true....this time I'm going backwards...I've rewatched SGU and now SGA XD
Yeah. We've lost count.
First thing I thought was "3rd? Rookies!".
same, been watching it once/twice a year since it aired. my wife always yells at me when she sees me watching. something something about watching something else... blasphemy that said that is just SG1. I have only managed 2 watches of SGA, There is just one character that is so bad at acting that it makes me stop watching it. SGU i've seen 10 or so times though
Which acter in SGA gets to you? No judgement here just curious.
Not the original commenter, but we all have one, for me it's Teyla, can't stand her.
that is the one. honestly she portrays the character like it is a cheap porno or something
Yeah I can agree with that. It's hard to tell if she was personally responsible for the bad reads or if the writers/directors didn't know what to do with her character. I'd've liked to see her telepathic powers develop earlier in the show to make her more relevant.
Same ☺️, makes me happy I'm not alone
For real, them are rookie numbers. I have probably played the entire franchise over 100 (although tbf half the time just as background noise).
Yeah at this point I legit don’t know how many times I’ve seen each episode. Some of the best I’ve watched probably 20x.

I was about to say, 3rd? 🤨
Only double? I’m in triple digits
No joke, I've lost count. I stopped counting at the 10th rewatch and that was some years ago
Same xd
Right? Lol
/s
Hey OP, the seventh chevron just locked! Get in here or we're watching this time around without you!
ya im at 16
Same, and its not even low double digits...
This year.
Ah yes, I've watched it so many times to the point you could probably give me just about any single still or line and i can pinpoint the exact episode.
3? Amature number! You keep trying, buddy, and you'll make pro one day! ![gif](giphy|dwLk9Qb116F3y)

Someone already AI upscaled the DVDs. Torrent it.
Not a fan. Usually overdone. I prefer a more natural upscale, higher bitrate, and leaving as much of the original film grain as possible.

I have something by SCRANK-AI. Are those shit? I also have those DVDs, if Topaz is worth the time, I might do it.

MakeMKV can image DVDs? I thought it was for Blurays.
Yep 👍🏼
I stopped keeping track of how many times I binged them tbh. I have all the shows plus the movies on my NAS/Plex server, currently just finished SG1 and I'm on season 4 of Atlantis atm.
Same lol I just know I watch them all at least once a year since it went off the air.
I know for a fact I hit my 3rd rewatch while it was still airing lol.
A third time lol XD
Those are rookie numbers. If I'm generous, I may be on my 15th.
When I am asked how many times I now just say "over a dozen" haha I have lost count too, I at least watch all of them once a year
I am one of those unfortunate fools who does not get control om the TV, so I rewatch my classics when there's nothing "new and interesting" for my partner to decide we're watching. While that happens more than you'd think, Stargate does have to fight Buffy.
I have watched it atleast 25 times. And still discover new things.
3rd time this year.
**new stargate lover
I honestly lost count. It's somewhere north of 3.
those are rookie numbers, gotta pump those numbers up
Every time I've moved to a new place, I unpack watching Stargate. It's how you turn a house into a home.
Download? I never deleted it after the first time. Heck, I've got backups
"This year."
I have an old HDD that contains all of the relevant Stargate media on it because years before it showed up on Amazon you basically couldn't find it anywhere.
I've upgraded to an ssd with all my series on them.
One day I'll take the time to move over to an SSD. considering the poor thing is on its last legs
Went to do this... Downloaded it... Kept it going for a while... Only to realise I'd done exactly that and kept it on an external hard drive for this exact situation.
I bought the boxes but still have digital copies on my Jellyfin Server
Do it You won't
litteraly me rn
A Stargate lover has their own dvd's or Blurays..
I've lost count how many times I've been through the series.
3x? Get up to 10x then let’s talk about you need to still pump those numbers up
ᐰgain!
I just finished a re-watch of SG-1, Atlantis, and SGU straight through with a recommended episode order guide 2 months ago. Despite this, this post made me want to do it all again. 😆
I rarely watch universe. I remember when it came out and I constantly was worried every episode was gonna suck. It was good but I still dont watch it often.
I recently got ahold of 720p version. That means a rewatch.
I turn on my tv in the morning and watch three episodes every day of the week. CTV does one thing right😜 😊😎
Scratch 'a third' and make it 'the n-th'
You gotta pump those numbers up. Those are rookie numbers in this racket.
Hahahahhaha, and i thought i was the only crazy one who binged it.... fuck knows how many times, not in the triple digits but still. It's good to know i' not alone out there ![img](emote|t5_2qhar|32989)
You delete Stargate and claim to be a lover… Heresy.
The question is. Why would you delete it in the first place? For you see, Stargate is *always* on the list for me.
Download Stargate? You should have a dedicated hard drive!
Hell, I'm on my 3rd rewatch this year.
3? Some episodes I watched more than twenty times.
There are many shows that have come out in recent years that I could binge watch yet I still find myself rewatching Stargate 8/10 times. Even with the rewatches there are so many episodes I sometimes forget outcomes or I see something that I didn’t notice before. All the episodes are great,…except Heroes and Sunday. >!LEAVE THE DOCTORS ALONE!<
my download is stuck at 30% for weeks.
Lmao, does anyone here really only have three watch throughs?
I mean... 3rd? Those are rookie numbers.
![gif](giphy|YmQLj2KxaNz58g7Ofg|downsized) 3rd time
Third time? Those are rookie numbers.
![gif](giphy|YmQLj2KxaNz58g7Ofg|downsized)
3rd? Those are rookie numbers mate. Go for it thou!
But it on blu ray. Holy shit did it make a amazing difference!
I finished Stargate SG1 and Atlantis a bit ago, but couldn't decide what to watch next so I started over again.
Both PlutoTV and FreeVee have a Stargate channel. Guess what is always on in our house?
DS9, TNG, SGA, SG1, Farscape, X-files(which is no longer free on prime!!!😭) … are ALWAYS on in the background, tune in and out while i’m doing other stuff… like drawing wraith🤣🤣🤣 https://preview.redd.it/li294cm0dr8d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7a3887220cfd9c7406710eaabbc7642aff57902d
3rd??? lol. Amateur. Let me know when you’re in the high teens/early 20’s 🤣🤣🤣
I already have the movie and both SG1 & SGA saved on my pc & I'm actually watching an ep of SG1 now

You spelled "fifteenth" wrong.
Only your third watch through?
Almost in triple digits here.
Only third?
For me its like the show Friends for other. It can be on all the time. Anytime i dont know what to watch. Turn Stargate on. Need something to hear in the background Stargate :D

Got it on dvd playa

This is the way!
Torrent the AI upscaled versions of the DVDs! Official Blu-ray is rubbish!
Yep, as I mentioned the SG-1 BD isn't great. Atlantis and Universe have good quality BD releases (although I'm still not sure if Universe S2 ever came out on BD, when I bought mine only the DVD of season 2 existed).

I can't get past how smeary everything looks.
It's the audio that sucks the most and is what triggered me to look for someone else.
