If "in line with my tastes" means what I think it means, just wait until you get a load of Christopher Judge's Teal'c. Especially in later seasons.
The first few seasons of SG-1 do feel darker (figuratively and literally). Atlantis had the advantage of taking what the main series learned along the way and employing it from the get go. The best thing about them, I feel, is how they aired concurrently and had multiple crossover moments (imagine if Picard's Enterprise regularly checked in with DS9). So you might want to find a guide online to know what order to watch the episodes of both series in, if you care about chronology.
It is probably the most well-rounded sci-fi ever made. Very good characters, very funny, and the budget kept getting bigger with each season. (Probably should've stopped after season 8, the whole Ori plot feels tacked on - it's still pretty solid, though.)
There are a lot of familiar actors throughout the series, including some from Trek.
You don't need to watch the original MGM movie, it's technically set in a different universe. But it is fun. And the events of this movie are explained in the series as needed.
Do make sure you watch the R-rated version of the series pilot (Stargate started off on HBO)
And don't forget to watch the two TV movies set after the end of the series. One is okay, the other is excellent.
....When you're done with that, then you can watch Stargate Atlantis which has even better characters!
Revised uniforms & Worf before getting the shoulder-length haircut, so somewhere in the middle of the series.
The way everyone is standing is so common and repeated that it would take some time to find the episode. However, I noticed their positions and the lighting on the bridge almost perfectly matches the intro of Booby Trap. But the scene doesn't play out this way, so it might be an outtake from that episode.
As much as I would enjoy it, I cannot commit the next several hours to confirming that theory. :P
