What films that flopped when they came out but you saw in the theater and loved, that are now universally acclaimed or cult classics? (kbin.social)

Films that may have flopped but not because of you, because you did your part and bought a ticket.

How far along did you get in the show? It starts out sort of slow and cheesy, but ramps up to having really big overarching storylines and super epic battles!

Like 4 episodes. I’ve heard it gets better, I just can’t bring myself to watch it. Maybe I’ll try Atlantis and then go back to the original.

I have a really hard time with the recasting.

With a lot of TV from that era you have to accept the first season is the show figuring itself out. 4 episodes, really isn't enough.

The best approach is just to skip boring chunks/episodes and move on to the next. Then when your hooked going back is worth it.

With Stargate while its an episodic format, events in past episodes are incorporated and it slowly starts building a complex universe.

Atlantis starts in SG1 season 5 and there are constant events in one series affecting the other one as a result.
