Must see: Season 1: Before I Sleep & Letters from Pegasus (it;s ridiculous that I'm including a clip show in that, but it's a)actually a much better way of catching up with the season! :) b) provides very good feeling for the characters c)got dowright funny bits)
Season 2: Grace Under Pressure, Michael
Season 3: The Real World, Common Ground, McKay and Mrs Miller, The Return, Tao of Rodney, Sunday (spoiler alert! spoiler alert!)
Season 4: Tabula Rasa, Quarantine, The Last Man
Season 5: The Shrine, Vegas
Otherwise good episodes: 38 minutes, Poisoning the Well, Home, The Storm/the Eye, Hot Zone, The Siege, Trinity, Critical Mass, The Long Goodbye, Allies/ No Man's Land/ Misbegotten, Phantoms, Echoes, Trio, Tracker, First Contact/ The Lost Tribe.. I might have missed something good in seasons 4-5, I've only ever seen them once because they were so terrible the first time round I didn't feel like inflicting them on myself for a second time.
SG1 is consistently better (maybe with the exception of season 10 vs. season 3 Atlantis). I don't know how they managed to fail so spectacularly with SGA (haven't bothered with SGU, TBH).
