Stargate SG1 was so versatile. Somehow it pulled off episodes as different as ‘Heroes’ and ‘200’, with each feeling perfectly at home in the show. (lemmy.world)

I thought the Cylons' plan was to eliminate humanity and replace it with a "better" version, which was the human cylons? It was interesting that their religion ended up getting in the way of that. But I didn't hate BSG's ending, which I realize puts me in the minority.

Anyway, thanks for sharing the detailed opinion, I appreciate it. I think I'll give SG a shot later tonight. Other than the Expanse, high quality sci-fi has been hard to come by for a while now, so it'll be cool to try something new.

If you missed SG1, I am guessing you missed Farscape too. It really makes aliens actually Alien, it's universe is so weird and fantastic. And the characters and their interactions are great.

Definitely worth adding to the list.
