I don't know how many people have watched SG-1 recently but my wife and I just watched the movie and the first like 8 episodes for the first time in the last two months and... It was not good. The tech made no sense, the plot often times made no sense, the characters were very 90's television, and of course there was a lot of racial, sexism, xenophobia embedded or explicit in each episode.
I'm happy people enjoyed it in its time, and if you still watch it and like it that's fine. But I wouldn't recommend this show to anyone young or that I know personally cause it wasn't good.
Stargate felt like it lacked the philosophical core that other sci-fi shows at the time (or before) had and didn't have the sci-fi down really either. It was mostly "look at these lesser earth based cultures", "nerds are so annoying", "cool military guys are just built different". Coming off of Babylon 5 which had like Worker rights episodes or nearly any season of early Star Trek, SG-1 felt hollow. I'm surprised people like Stargate as much as they do.
