So, hugeass dork that I am, I got the urge to watch all 15+ years of Stargate. To that end, I've been attempting to list all the episodes in a working semichronological order. Obviously, this is supereasy for the first 7 years or so, but it gets more difficult once SG:A starts. Here's what I have so far for those 3ish years: SG-1 - Lost City SG-1 - New Order, Part 1 SG-1 - New Order, Part 2 Atlantis - Rising SG-1 - Lockdown Atlantis - Hide And Seek SG-1 - Zero Hour Atlantis - Thirty Eight Minutes SG-1 - Icon Atlantis - Suspicion SG-1 - Avatar Atlantis - Childhood's End SG-1 - Affinity Atlantis - Poisoning The Well SG-1 - Covenant Atlantis - Underground SG-1 - Sacrifices Atlantis - Home SG-1 - Endgame Atlantis - The Storm Atlantis - The Eye SG-1 - Gemini Atlantis - The Defiant One SG-1 - Prometheus Unbound Atlantis - Hot Zone SG-1 - It's Good To Be King Atlantis - Sanctuary SG-1 - Full Alert Atlantis - Before I Sleep SG-1 - Citizen Joe Atlantis - The Brotherhood SG-1 - Reckoning, Part 1 SG-1 - Reckoning, Part 2 SG-1 - Threads Atlantis - Letters From Pegasus SG-1 - Moebius, Part 1 SG-1 - Moebius, Part 2 Atlantis - The Gift Atlantis - The Siege, Part 1 Atlantis - The Siege, Part 2 Atlantis - The Siege, Part 3 Atlantis - The Intruder SG-1 - Avalon, Part 1 SG-1 - Avalon, Part 2 SG-1 - Origin Atlantis - Runner SG-1 - The Ties That Bind Atlantis - Duet SG-1 - The Powers That Be Atlantis - Condemned SG-1 - Beachhead Atlantis - Trinity SG-1 - Ex Deus Machina Atlantis - Instinct Atlantis - Conversion SG-1 - Babylon Atlantis - Aurora SG-1 - Prototype Atlantis - The Lost Boys SG-1 - The Fourth Horseman, Part 1 SG-1 - The Fourth Horseman, Part 2 Atlantis - The Hive SG-1 - Collateral Damage Atlantis - Epiphany SG-1 - Ripple Effect Atlantis - Critical Mass SG-1 - Stronghold Atlantis - Grace Under Pressure SG-1 - Ethon Atlantis - The Tower SG-1 - Off The Grid Atlantis - The Long Goodbye SG-1 - The Scourge Atlantis - Coup D'etat SG-1 - Arthur's Mantle Atlantis - Michael Atlantis - Inferno SG-1 - Crusade SG-1 - Camelot SG-1 - Flesh and Blood Atlantis - Allies Atlantis - No Man's Land SG-1 - Morpheus Atlantis - Misbegotten SG-1 - The Pegasus Project Atlantis - Irresistible SG-1 - Insiders Atlantis - Sateda SG-1 - Uninvited Atlantis - Progeny SG-1 - 200 Atlantis - The Real World SG-1 - Counterstrike Atlantis - Common Ground SG-1 - Memento Mori Atlantis - McKay And Mrs. Miller SG-1 - Company Of Thieves Atlantis - Phantoms SG-1 - The Quest, Part 1 SG-1 - The Quest, Part 2 Atlantis - The Return, Part 1 Atlantis - The Return, Part 2 SG-1 - Line In The Sand Atlantis - Echoes SG-1 - The Road Not Taken Atlantis - Irresponsible SG-1 - The Shroud Atlantis - Tao Of Rodney SG-1 - Bounty Atlantis - The Game SG-1 - Bad Guys Atlantis - The Ark SG-1 - Talion Atlantis - Sunday SG-1 - Family Ties Atlantis - Submersion SG-1 - Dominion Atlantis - Vengeance SG-1 - Unending Atlantis - First Strike Atlantis - Adrift Atlantis - Lifeline SG-1 - The Ark Of Truth Atlantis - Reunion Atlantis - Doppelganger Atlantis - Travelers Atlantis - Tabula Rasa Atlantis - Missing Atlantis - The Seer Atlantis - Miller's Crossing Atlantis - This Mortal Coil Atlantis - Be All My Sins Remember'd SG-1 - Continuum Reasoning: -For the most part, I'm just alternating between the two shows. -Multiparters and others eps that lead directly into each other go together. -Rising, of course, has to come after New Order -There seems to be several months between Moebius and Avalon, so I stuck five related Atlantis eps in there. -Continuum is quite a while after Ark of Truth, around Atlantis' midseason event. Just seemed right. Does anyone see any problems with this order, continuity or otherwise? Any suggestions?
Beginning, I think, with Before I Sleep, SGA is one long story-arc to the end of the first season. And beginning with Reckoning, SG1 is one long push to the end of the season. So I might re-arrange the beginning of your list like this: . . . SG-1 - It's Good To Be King Atlantis - Sanctuary SG-1 - Full Alert SG-1 - Citizen Joe SG-1 - Reckoning, Part 1 SG-1 - Reckoning, Part 2 SG-1 - Threads SG-1 - Moebius, Part 1 SG-1 - Moebius, Part 2 Atlantis - Before I Sleep Atlantis - The Brotherhood Atlantis - Letters From Pegasus Atlantis - The Gift Atlantis - The Siege, Part 1 Atlantis - The Siege, Part 2 Atlantis - The Siege, Part 3 Atlantis - The Intruder Beyond that, check with someone with a better memory where The Ark of Truth belongs. It has something to do with the introduction of the Apollo and its new commander, as I recall. Also, Continuum takes place after the first episode of Atlantis' fifth season.
As I recall, "Intruder" takes place after "Avalon/Origin." Well, at least, the framing device does, even if the flash backs are set before and during those three SG-1 episodes.
That's been my interpretation. I think that it's this Daedalus trip from Earth to Atlantis in "The Intruder" that Daniel Jackson is so eager to go on and just barely misses in "Avalon, Part 1." Ironically, when it comes to air date orders, Daniel Jackson's angsting over missing the Daedalus in "Avalon, Part 1" seems to coincide with the Daedalus' arrival at Atlantis in "The Siege, Part 3." But that wouldn't really fit with the timeline of "The Siege, Part 2," where that asshole colonel brings "greetings from General O'Neill" whereas "Avalon, Part 1" indicates that General Landry has been the head of the SGC for a while now. And General Landry in the flashback scenes in "The Intruder" is just enough of an asshole that I suspect it comes from the stress of being recently transferred.
This is the order I used when I was watching through the whole series: Lost City Parts 1&2 (SG1) New Order Parts 1&2 (SG1) Rising Parts 1&2 (SGA) Hide and Seek (SGA) Lockdown (SG1) 38 Minutes (SGA) Suspicion (SGA) Zero Hour (SG1) Childhood's End (SGA) Icon (SG1) Poisoning the Well (SGA) Avatar (SG1) Covenant (SG1) Affinity (SG1) Sacrifices (SG1) Endgame (SG1) Underground (SGA) Home (SGA) The Storm (SGA) The Eye (SGA) The Defiant One (SGA) Hot Zone (SGA) Gemini (SG1) Prometheus Unbound (SG1) Sanctuary (SGA) It's Good to be King (SG1) Full Alert (SG1) Citizen Joe (SG1) Reckoning Parts 1&2 (SG1) Threads (SG1) Before I Sleep (SGA) The Brotherhood (SGA) Letters from Pegasus (SGA) The Gift (SGA) Moebius Parts 1&2 (SG1) The Siege Parts 1&2 (SGA) The Siege Part 3 (SGA) Avalon Parts 1&2 (SG1) Origin (SG1) The Ties that Bind (SG1) The Intruder (SGA) Runner (SGA) Duet (SGA) The Powers that Be (SG1) Condemned (SGA) Beachhead (SG1) Ex Deus Machina (SG1) Trinity (SGA) Instinct (SGA) Conversion (SGA) Aurora (SGA) Babylon (SG1) Prototype (SG1) The Fourth Horseman Parts 1&2 (SG1) The Lost Boys (SGA) The Hive (SGA) Collateral Damage (SG1) Epiphany (SGA) Ripple Effect (SG1) Critical Mass (SGA) Stronghold (SG1) Ethon (SG1) Off the Grid (SG1) Grace Under Pressure (SGA) The Tower (SGA) The Long Goodbye (SGA) The Scourge (SG1) Coup d'Etat (SGA) Arthur's Mantle (SG1) Michael (SGA) Inferno (SGA) Crusade (SG1) Camelot (SG1) Flesh and Blood (SG1) Allies (SGA) No Man's Land (SGA) Misbegotten (SGA) Morpheus (SG1) The Pegasus Project (SG1) Irresistable (SGA) Insiders (SG1) Sateda (SGA) Uninvited (SG1) 200 (SG1) Progeny (SGA) The Real World (SGA) Counterstrike (SG1) Common Ground (SGA) Memento Mori (SG1) McKay and Mrs. Miller (SGA) Company of Thieves (SG1) Phantoms (SGA) The Quest Parts 1&2 (SG1) Line in the Sand (SG1) The Road Not Taken (SG1) The Shroud (SG1) The Return Parts 1&2 (SGA) Echoes (SGA) Irresponsible (SGA) Tao of Rodney (SGA) Bounty (SG1) The Game (SGA) Bad Guys (SG1) The Ark (SGA) Talion (SG1) Family Ties (SG1) Sunday (SGA) Submersion (SGA) Dominion (SG1) Vengeance (SGA) Unending (SG1) First Strike (SGA) I can't remember where I got this list, so if I got it from one of you, thank you because it worked perfectly. I think The Ark of Truth should be watched after Unending and before First Strike. Continuum should be watched after Search and Rescue (the 5th season premiere).
I'm going to have this problem too in two more seasons of SG-1, but I was just planning on alternating the two shows. Watching 5 SG:A followed by 2 SG:1 followed by 1 SG:A and so on just seems overly confusing.
