There's no sex on Stargate, and few characters die, and never the important ones. There's battles and drama but if there's a betrayal there's always a REASON by which you can excuse that character's actions, and the good guys are never REALLY turning bad of their own poor judgement because it's always outside influence forcing or tricking them into it. If anyone went insane, it was always resolved in an episode or two.
I've rather fallen out of the SG-1 fandom (I never did cotton to Atlantis, since it felt like SG-1 redux to me) and it's mostly because the series refuses to change. Not characters, but everything else. I enjoyed the show very much until the middle of season five. Things felt repititive, though, and after taking season six off because Daniel wasn't there, that didn't help much either. Then they started pushing Sam/Jack in season seven, another reason for me to back away.
and the good guys are never REALLY turning bad of their own poor judgement because it's always outside influence forcing or tricking them into it.
There was an entire episode about the consequences of Daniel's poor judgement in dealing with the people on another planet. Yes, they are few and far between, but the show has detailed the bias and flaws in all of the major characters at some point. Decisions have brought about consequences, albeit they were rectified in an episode or two or by the end of the season for the most part, and very few have never been addressed again.
I could give FS another shot, but it won't be anytime soon, though.
