SG-1/Atlantis episode order

[Fist McStrongpunch]

So, hugeass dork that I am, I got the urge to watch all 15+ years of Stargate. To that end, I've been attempting to list all the episodes in a working semichronological order. Obviously, this is supereasy for the first 7 years or so, but it gets more difficult once SG:A starts. Here's what I have so far for those 3ish years:

SG-1 - Lost City
SG-1 - New Order, Part 1
SG-1 - New Order, Part 2
Atlantis - Rising
SG-1 - Lockdown
Atlantis - Hide And Seek
SG-1 - Zero Hour
Atlantis - Thirty Eight Minutes
SG-1 - Icon
Atlantis - Suspicion
SG-1 - Avatar
Atlantis - Childhood's End
SG-1 - Affinity
Atlantis - Poisoning The Well
SG-1 - Covenant
Atlantis - Underground
SG-1 - Sacrifices
Atlantis - Home
SG-1 - Endgame
Atlantis - The Storm
Atlantis - The Eye
SG-1 - Gemini
Atlantis - The Defiant One
SG-1 - Prometheus Unbound
Atlantis - Hot Zone
SG-1 - It's Good To Be King
Atlantis - Sanctuary
SG-1 - Full Alert

Atlantis - The Siege, Part 1
Atlantis - The Siege, Part 2
Atlantis - The Siege, Part 3
Atlantis - The Intruder
SG-1 - Avalon, Part 1
SG-1 - Avalon, Part 2
SG-1 - Origin
Atlantis - Runner
SG-1 - The Ties That Bind
Atlantis - Duet
SG-1 - The Powers That Be
Atlantis - Condemned
SG-1 - Beachhead
Atlantis - Trinity
SG-1 - Ex Deus Machina
Atlantis - Instinct
Atlantis - Conversion
SG-1 - Babylon
Atlantis - Aurora
SG-1 - Prototype
Atlantis - The Lost Boys
SG-1 - The Fourth Horseman, Part 1
SG-1 - The Fourth Horseman, Part 2
Atlantis - The Hive
SG-1 - Collateral Damage
Atlantis - Epiphany
SG-1 - Ripple Effect
Atlantis - Critical Mass
SG-1 - Stronghold
Atlantis - Grace Under Pressure
SG-1 - Ethon
Atlantis - The Tower
SG-1 - Off The Grid
Atlantis - The Long Goodbye
SG-1 - The Scourge
Atlantis - Coup D'etat
SG-1 - Arthur's Mantle
Atlantis - Michael
Atlantis - Inferno
SG-1 - Crusade
SG-1 - Camelot
SG-1 - Flesh and Blood
Atlantis - Allies
Atlantis - No Man's Land
SG-1 - Morpheus
Atlantis - Misbegotten
SG-1 - The Pegasus Project
Atlantis - Irresistible
SG-1 - Insiders
Atlantis - Sateda
SG-1 - Uninvited
Atlantis - Progeny
SG-1 - 200
Atlantis - The Real World
SG-1 - Counterstrike
Atlantis - Common Ground
SG-1 - Memento Mori
Atlantis - McKay And Mrs. Miller
SG-1 - Company Of Thieves
Atlantis - Phantoms
SG-1 - The Quest, Part 1
SG-1 - The Quest, Part 2
Atlantis - The Return, Part 1
Atlantis - The Return, Part 2
SG-1 - Line In The Sand
Atlantis - Echoes
SG-1 - The Road Not Taken
Atlantis - Irresponsible
SG-1 - The Shroud
Atlantis - Tao Of Rodney
SG-1 - Bounty
Atlantis - The Game
SG-1 - Bad Guys
Atlantis - The Ark
SG-1 - Talion
Atlantis - Sunday
SG-1 - Family Ties
Atlantis - Submersion
SG-1 - Dominion
Atlantis - Vengeance
SG-1 - Unending
Atlantis - First Strike
Atlantis - Adrift
Atlantis - Lifeline
SG-1 - The Ark Of Truth
Atlantis - Reunion
Atlantis - Doppelganger
Atlantis - Travelers
Atlantis - Tabula Rasa
Atlantis - Missing
Atlantis - The Seer
Atlantis - Miller's Crossing
Atlantis - This Mortal Coil
Atlantis - Be All My Sins Remember'd
SG-1 - Continuum

Reasoning:
-For the most part, I'm just alternating between the two shows.
-Multiparters and others eps that lead directly into each other go together.
-Rising, of course, has to come after New Order
-There seems to be several months between Moebius and Avalon, so I stuck five related Atlantis eps in there.
-Continuum is quite a while after Ark of Truth, around Atlantis' midseason event. Just seemed right.

Does anyone see any problems with this order, continuity or otherwise? Any suggestions?

Beginning, I think, with Before I Sleep, SGA is one long story-arc to the end of the first season. And beginning with Reckoning, SG1 is one long push to the end of the season. So I might re-arrange the beginning of your list like this:

.
.
.
SG-1 - It's Good To Be King
Atlantis - Sanctuary
SG-1 - Full Alert
SG-1 - Citizen Joe
SG-1 - Reckoning, Part 1
SG-1 - Reckoning, Part 2
SG-1 - Threads
SG-1 - Moebius, Part 1
SG-1 - Moebius, Part 2
Atlantis - Before I Sleep
Atlantis - The Brotherhood
Atlantis - Letters From Pegasus
Atlantis - The Gift
Atlantis - The Siege, Part 1
Atlantis - The Siege, Part 2
Atlantis - The Siege, Part 3
Atlantis - The Intruder

Beyond that, check with someone with a better memory where The Ark of Truth belongs. It has something to do with the introduction of the Apollo and its new commander, as I recall.

Also, Continuum takes place after the first episode of Atlantis' fifth season.

As I recall, "Intruder" takes place after "Avalon/Origin." Well, at least, the framing device does, even if the flash backs are set before and during those three SG-1 episodes.

 

[Harvey]

Ah, that's right. It has General Landry.

 

[The Borgified Corpse]

As I recall, "Intruder" takes place after "Avalon/Origin." Well, at least, the framing device does, even if the flash backs are set before and during those three SG-1 episodes.

That's been my interpretation. I think that it's this Daedalus trip from Earth to Atlantis in "The Intruder" that Daniel Jackson is so eager to go on and just barely misses in "Avalon, Part 1."

Ironically, when it comes to air date orders, Daniel Jackson's angsting over missing the Daedalus in "Avalon, Part 1" seems to coincide with the Daedalus' arrival at Atlantis in "The Siege, Part 3." But that wouldn't really fit with the timeline of "The Siege, Part 2," where that asshole colonel brings "greetings from General O'Neill" whereas "Avalon, Part 1" indicates that General Landry has been the head of the SGC for a while now. And General Landry in the flashback scenes in "The Intruder" is just enough of an asshole that I suspect it comes from the stress of being recently transferred.

I can't remember where I got this list, so if I got it from one of you, thank you because it worked perfectly. I think The Ark of Truth should be watched after Unending and before First Strike. Continuum should be watched after Search and Rescue (the 5th season premiere).

I'm going to have this problem too in two more seasons of SG-1, but I was just planning on alternating the two shows. Watching 5 SG:A followed by 2 SG:1 followed by 1 SG:A and so on just seems overly confusing.
