The Light from season 4. It's just so terrible.

"Emancipation" and the fan favorite "Lazarus". The former I often get nods of approval for stating; the latter I get looks of bewilderment. I find "Lazarus" appalingly cheesy despite its tough subject matter. I just cannot. Stand it.
"Singularity" would be on the list too if it weren't for the fact that during rewatches I feel like I'm skipping a major stepping stone. I never overly cared for the character of Cassandra but missing her entry beat always feels too bizarre. Otherwise? Ditto. Cheesy as hell. Cannot take it.
"Family Ties" from the final season is the last offender. Look, I like Vala. I like "Prometheus Unbound" too -- the episode Saquist is agreeing to be terrible up there. But the episode with her father? Holy mother of Apophis, dreadful.
All of those are from the first season with the exception of the last one. Goes to show which season I find the weakest. Although even that first season had some really incredible episodes.

SG-1
Politics - Totally unnecessary to watch if you've watched the show several times.
---
Bane - I've never been a fan of "infected" stories
One false step - No, just...no, those aliens...
Show and tell - "Mother says...", never found the Re'tu to be interesting
Out of mind - Mostly a clip show episode
---
The Light - So meaningless
Prodigy - Not a Hailey fan
---
Proving ground - It was a test all along? Hm...never saw that coming...
---
Disclosure - Like Politics
---
Birthright - Just don't like it
---
Citizen Joe - More clip show
---
The scourge - I hate bugs
---
Bounty
Bad Guys
Family Ties - Bad bad timing of this episode right before the two final episodes. I've always wished the three final episodes could've have been a epic conclusion. Instead this episode took the tension away. Good thing you can choose not to watch it ever again.

"Red Sky" due to the terrible, terrible science. Usually they at least make the attempt to acknowledge real physics, but this was like something out of VOY or ENT.
"Emancipation" because, well.

Family Ties was pretty bad. I'm a huge fan of Fred Willard from Waiting for Guffman and Best In Show, but even he couldn't save that ep.

I can tolerate Family Ties mainly for the not-so-subtle bitter injokes they throw in about the show's cancellation. Like this one:
Carter: "The Stargate program doesn't recieve the same support from those in authority that it used to."
Jacek: "Why not?"
Dr. Lee (working in background): "Eureka!"
Also, Teal'c being fooled into seeing The Vagina Monologue is pretty amusing.

As a standalone episode, it is OK, but as a said before, the timing in the first broadcast = horrible
SG-A has several episodes that I hate. Irresistable and Irresponsible jump to mind first, then the one where Shepard is in the time dilation field and has to fight the invisible monster so the Ancients are meditate or some other silly crap... whatever that one's called.
It's been too long since I've watched a bad episode of SG-1, or maybe I've just blocked them out, but Emancipation is the only one that I can remember off hand.
