The premiere of the first film "Stargate" took place in 1994, since then several different films and series have been released over the next ten years. During this period, the plot has undergone many sharp turns, and it is not always clear to the viewer how to watch and which viewing chronology to choose.
Chronological order of viewing "Stargate"
You can start viewing the franchise by the chronology of the appearance of plot pictures on the screens:
- “Stargate” (1994) - the original movie.
- The series "ZV: SG-1" from season 1 to 7 (1997-2004).
- “ZV: SG-1” season 8 and the series “ZV: Atlantis”, season 1 (2004-2005 - release date).
- The series "SG-1" and "Atlantis", season 9 and 2, respectively (2005-2006).
- The series "ZV: SG-1" and "ZV: Atlantis", the tenth and third seasons (2006-2007).
- The film "Stargate: The Ark of Truth" 2008 release and the fourth season of "Atlantis" (2007-2008).
- The film "Stargate: Continuum" of 2008 and the series "ZV: Atlantis" the fifth final season (2008-2009).
- The series "ST: Universe" 1 and 2 seasons.
Adhering to this viewing order, the viewer will not get confused in the events that took place in the universe.
As you can see, in some points in the chronological simultaneously shown SD-1 and Atlantis. Viewing can take place as one series from each specified season sequentially alternating, or initially devote time to SG-1, and then completely review Atlantis.
Other sequence options
Another no less popular procedure for watching the Stargate series is to initially start the same way with the 1995 Stargate movie from which it all started, then watch the SG-1 series in its entirety. Then two subsequent films by the date of their release on the screens of “ZV: Ark of Truth” and “ZV: Temporary Continuum”, and at the end of the series “ZV: Atlantis” and “ZV: Universe”. This order is the most understandable and simple, then the viewer alternately views events in the universe.
Which version to choose?
It is worth noting that no matter what choice is made, you should always start with the first film of the 94th year, and end the show with the TV series “ZV: Universe”. SG-1 and Atlantis are closely interrelated series and one series of the first is literally an explanation or continuation of another series of the second, because Atlantis was born from the plot line of its predecessor. The same cannot be said about the "Universe", because this is a new, completely different storyline and a new universe, although it is implemented in the spirit of the previous parts, but the characters in it are new.
So the most suitable, in terms of series, is the order of viewing "Stargate" according to the chronology.
