Essentially you have Seasons 1-5 and then the rest. The tone for the first 5 seasons was quite different to the later stuff (and very pronounced in seasons 9 and 10) Sg-1 is essentially an Adventure-action show whereas Atlantis was an Action show.If you are going to start from the beginning, certainly see the movie, then see the Children of the Gods recut pilot movie. I think it offers a lot of improvements over the original pilot and is worth tracking down. Id watch SG-1 before Atlantis personally. Atlantis was at time an interesting show, sadly however it degenerated too often (esp s4-5) into the 'Rodney McKay show when you were lucky to find McKay not being in the A Story or B Story. His character I didnt like to begin with which may have colored my views on those 2 seasons. Atlantis Season 1 was interesting. It wasnt great, but it introduces the character of Aiden Ford.. a woefully underused character who well.. was sparsely used later. His replacement Ronon Dex was well, also pretty much underused and contributed almost nothing to the infrequent action lite episodes.So yeah, id start with Season 1-5. Certainly some Gems in there.</blockquote>
