Which Stargate Series Is The Best?
There is no choice honestly. Both the seasons were interesting & must watch for every Sci-Fi lover but SG-1 is always going to be the favorite one among the fans.
The characters were strong, hilarious & interesting. Season 1 has a more extended version with 10 seasons with proper execution. It’s worth watching & had a proper definite end. We quite believe that if you like SG-1, you’ll be drawn into watching STARGATE Universe; They aired together for two seasons & they complement each other nicely.
