I actually watched SG-Atlantis first... *going back in time...time...time....*
I quite like SG-A because of Rodney and his sidekick(erm... Zelenka? Great character). But I can't see how they are going to keep it up for six of 7 seasons without improving the plotlines.
I've just started watching SG1(first 6 or seven episodes) and it's not bad, but on the other hand I haven't seen anything really new either. I take it that the overall storyline(s) will get better along the way? I don't read the fanforums because I don't want to read too many spollers... Basically it has the same weakness as SG-A, it misses an arc, even if it would only be a two seasons-arc.
Am I making sense here?"En wat als tijd de helft van echtheid was, was alles dan dubbelsnel verbaal?"

Yup, the storyline develops pretty good. It peaks around season 3-5, but that's not to say it's bad after that, it's just not *as* wonderful. The chemistry of the characters in 4 and 5 just gel like none other. After that they have so much of a guest cast that they can return to plot points and it's like "ooh! I know who that is!" It'll even make a couple of the chars in Atlantis more interestingThat's without spoiling it. But it's mostly episodic TNG style.

I really liked S1 of Atlantis, but S2 was very disapointing. The show was better when the expedition was cut off from Earth. They did that dyanamic very well, much better than Voyager ever did. S3 had been better, but they are using old SG-1 villains now, instead of now original foes so I am a little worried about it. Also seeing Dr. McKay is worth watching almost any episode of Atlantis, he is hilarious, and my favorite SG character.

10 seasons is probably enough. I've been buying the seasons over the last year or two, and finished season 8 a couple of months ago. It was by far the worst season yet, and compared to the first season of SGA which we saw at the same time, it was nowhere close in quality. It just made me long for the earlier seasons with Richard Dean Anderson who really made the show what it was. I'm glad to hear season 9 and 10 are better though, and I'm looking forward to seeing them along with the SGA seasons when they come out on DVD.

lol... a Farscape/Firefly crossover, hmm? yeah I'd vote for that .. if they hadn't killed off several good characters in Serenity (just 'not' what I personally had hoped to see, y'know?). And if CB could go back to playing mostly-strong/smart rather than mostly-ditsy/dingbatty (her SG1 character is worse than fingernails on a chalkboard to me, gotta leave the room when it's 'one of those' episodes).

[edited because originally I'd written 'Atlantis character' above instead of SG1 character.. maybe my brain was still trying to wrap itself around the dreaded possibility of the Vala character being carried over as-is into Atlantis after SG1 ends..]

You are going to love Serpents Lair and Serpents Grasp.

It's what you get when you save something for a (literally) rainy day... I have had to endure years of talk about SG1 just so right at this moment I can say "Well LOOK what the cat brought in! Ten seasons of SF I haven't seen yet.
Worked with B5 too. Everybody had seen it and then I went into a Marathon Overdrive Viewing Spree. Took me a month to get through 5 seasons and 4 movies... Didn't sleep much on the weekends though...
And then there is still Firefly which I haven't seen yet... This is just to bridge the gap until jms returns with more B5 you understand..."En wat als tijd de helft van echtheid was, was alles dan dubbelsnel verbaal?"
