I've watched seasons 1-5 this year. It's basically my first run through, I'd only watched a couple of random episodes back in the day and not been impressed, so there's no nostalgia at play here.

It absolutely holds up, and does things that seem to be impossible for streaming-era TV shows in terms of building the characters and the universe.

The first season is very obviously done on a shoestring budget, but the production values will start improving after that. I honestly can't imagine what value a reboot would bring.

You're right around the point they got renewed for two seasons at once, so they had a lot more freedom for extended plot/setting development. I forget exactly which two seasons they were, though.

If you're continuing and at all interested in the timing, SG-1 season 8 has a two-parter premiere, and Stargate Atlantis begins immediately after that, not before or at the same time.

I'd actually decided to re-watch the series this year and am just finishing the 8th season right now.

Yes, I was intending to continue at least until Atlantis so that I can check that out with the proper context as well. Thanks for the details on viewing order.
