I say Yup, definitely worth watching. As mentioned though, the later series veered off the charm of the earlier seasons.
Still, it's all good stuff!

It's the next spin off series, starting September I think? (just a guess there) It's got a lower age target audience afaik so I don't really know what to expect. There is a trailer in a thread if you have a search.

I partially agree, but I didn't think it was all that bad after Season 8, I kept watching. Atlantis was pretty good as well.
I guess I see it that way because for me O'Neill MADE stargate. Without him I seriously think it would have been a 2-bit scifi show and would never have lasted as long as it did. When I think about the top 10 episodes of stargate for me, every single one of them has O'neill in and not a single one of them comes after O'neill

Farscape
Babylon 5. Particularly the seasons revolving around the shadow war.

Some of them were amazing, but I fell out of touch.
I too was contemplating the purchase as it's 'only' £95ish.

I probably won't rewatch it, but it is a pretty awesome film.
Ill go google farscape and babylon 5.
I think ive watched some episodes of farscape from what i remember theres a blue woman and its all set on a living ship.
Is star trek any good, i remember watching one of there films first contact and loved the enemies they were fighting i think they were called the dorks and they had a cool dork cube ship.

Nooo waaay! Stargate is decent enough. The OP will get bored if he's looking at stargate to replace his time spent when he would be watching BSG I think.

No. It isn't.
BSG is better in every single way. I can comment having watched all 10 seasons of SG-1 and 5 seasons of SG-A.
SG is good sci-fi, but it isn't close to BSG.

Babylon 5.
You should be able to pick up the 5 season box set fairly cheaply. A lot of people will tell you season 1 isn't that great, but give it a chance
Season 3 and 4 are absolutely fantastic though. My advice is to watch it all, and then watch season 1 again. You'll appreciate season 1 much more after you have watched the whole series. I find it astounding how much was set up in the first season, i'm still finding things in season one that hint at events in later seasons.

While I do agree with you, it's personal opinion, nobody is right or wrong.
This...B5 is the greatest sci-fi show ever made, epic story, the first major series to introduce a massive arc storyline, characters you really do care about and are wholly realistic.
Don't want to turn this into SG1 vs B5...but I found SG1 to be slow moving predictable nonsense that I watched for no other reason than to pass the time when nothing else was available to watch.

Yes...most people turn off after a few episodes of season 1, but power through it, as I said just, it's an arc series so there are a few things that seem pointless but become pretty important further on into the later seasons.
Season 2 onwards is awesome...I think season 2 of B5 was the first sci-fi show to win some sort of writing award...will have to google for some more info.
Just googled it, here's a list of awards and nominations for B5...
