Prime Video Just Dropped Stargate SG-1

View Comments

• I'm not paying for another streaming service just for reruns of SG1, even though I love the show. I'd rather buy the DVDs at a second hand store.

  • its back on just have to research for it on amazon

  • Me2

• I don't see Atlantis available on Prime either. I'm in the US.

  • I'm in US, and just started rewatching on Amazon after they took down SG1. Search "stargate" and you'll find multiple listings for Atlantis, some that are free on prime and others that aren't. Very confusing, but it's there.

    • Confirmed. Depending on user interface access there may be multiple listings. SG-1, Atlantis and Universe are all available with a Prime Video US as of 1/4/23 if you hunt around in the season listings enough.

• Go home, Amazon, you're drunk.

  Seriously though, I have no idea what's going on over there. I can't tell if they really are drunk or really indecisive or just plain stupid. It's like watching musical chairs, the Stargate version. They seem to be pulling and putting back the shows more frequently than most people change their socks. Is Elon Musk secretly running Amazon Prime too?

  • Sorry to spam but I forgot to say I feel sorriest for the fans new and old who were watching/rewatching and then left high and dry when the show suddenly got pulled off Amazon. One new fan apparently used to watch to make her elliptical session more bearable till poof, SG-1 is gone mid-watch.

    I feel like Amazon has gotten bizarrely wishy-washy about Stargate. The question is why? And could it have anything to do with any progression towards making a new show?

  • It's a part of a bigger plan. And hopefully that means a new show in the future.

    • I'd like to believe you but I don't really think being finicky about putting the shows on Amazon has anything to do with trying to launch a new series. My guess is that they've either got their signals crossed somehow or whichever intern they put in charge of Prime messed up. It just makes no logical sense otherwise why Prime is so ridiculous with Stargate lately.

  • It keeps people subscribed. If you know what you want to watch will always be there you can sub whenever. That makes it easy for people to just have one subscription service at a time. Just pick a new one every month without having to miss anything.

• I wonder if it has anything to do with the somewhat recent release of SG-1 on Bluray and wanting those to sell. (I have DVDs and from what I've read, sadly, except for the last couple seasons, the DVDs are better, and apparently BDs have audio issues. I'm very bummed about that. I would have gladly upgraded my media.)

  • If you're talking about the VEI release, that one came out at least a year ago.

    • ?I must have been asleep longer than I thought! I just noticed it a month or so ago on Amazon.

• We need some good news this year! Every day I check gateworld and the bad news on stargate's future is starting to take its toll. Fingers crossed for something good in 2023.

• Pluto sucks. You can't pause, rw, or ff without getting stuck in a loop. Can't wait for MGM+

  • You can't with the livestream but the entire series is also up on demand on Pluto including the two SG-1 movies.

  • You can watch it on demand on pluto

• I own the seasons that matter, before they turned the show into Farscape:SG1. The last few seasons were not very good.

• Best option just buy the dvds!.

  • Buy DVDs for SG-1 (since bluray quality is poor according to comments on Amazon) and bluray for Atlantis, Universe and the movies. (That's what I did.) I've watched all of it a couple times already with my kids. Will probably start again in the spring. (Did the same for BSG, too.)

• So what happened to all the hype of Stargate content, once the MGM/Paramount/whatever went through?

• Amazon you are a bloody moron
