I'm watching this for the first time and HOLY SHIT is it uneven.

I missed a bunch of season 3 eps (R watches a bunch without me), and the first thing I came back to was Sorbo saying, "Mythology? It's all Greek to me."

There was a lot going on there.

It’s all on Amazon Prime.

Like, it’ll have an AMAZING episode followed by two episodes of bland, pointless drama and Sorbo closeups

I'll have to add it to my watchlist. I remember it being pretty hard on the camp, at least in S1 and 2.

S1 and 2 were a bit campy but fun and with an overarching story. After that... ouch.

I still watched it because I was invested though

Well, it just got *very* campy and melodramatic and had more Sorbo closeups and I'm confused about all the Jesus imagery

Why waste your time on this? If you want to watch great 20yo sci-fi television then you should be watching Babylon 5 or Farscape. The former because it was so far ahead of its time in terms of telling a coherent multi-year story arc that was plotted out from the beginning. It may seem like a quaint concept in 2018 that you need to see every episode of a television series in order but back then it was practically unheard of in an era of mediocre episodic sci-fi. The latter just wins purely on humor and lightness.

Farscape is my shit, I own the series and rewatch every few years. Babylon 5 has always been on my Amazon watchlist, but I've never gotten to it.

I just remember being entertained by Andromeda back when I was younger. Probably because it was Sam Rami/Evil Dead adjacent because of Sorbo...

Update: This thread put the Farscape bug back in my head, been binging that over the past few days.

How was it Farscapes fault? Stargate started getting shitty when Jackson got replaced with Jonas for a bit and then went to hell when O'Neill left
