If you care about the fiction of tv-series Stargate then watch "Epiphany", year 2006 season 2 episode 12 of Stargate: Atlantis, before reading this blog-post by me.
In general, their stories are not serialized, meaning that you do not need a lot of prior understanding of the previous episodes.
Sure, some of it you need to understand first. Seems to me, most of that understanding comes from simply reading the Wikipedia page about Stargate. Then watch the episode.

Dr. Elizabeth WEIR: OK, I think I've got it. (She turns away from the inscribed wall that she has been studying.) I am interpreting a bit, but it seems the field was designed as a sanctuary from the Wraith, but a place the last of the Ancients could travel to and hopefully ascend without fear of attack.
McKAY: Oh, of course. They could potentially spend entire lifetimes inside the field before the Wraith even discovered the place.

REPORT ON SPYING RELEASED BY C.I.A.
By NICHOLAS M. HORROCK JULY 9, 1975
WASHINGTON, July 8—The Central Intelligence Agency made a major build-up of its domestic intelligence operation during the Administration of President Nixon, according to documents released by the C.I.A. for the first time tonight.
In an unexpected disclosure, the C.I.A. made public a report that its director, William E. Colby, made to President Ford last Dec. 24. This report is a portion of an internal analysis of the agency's involvement in illegal domestic intelligence operations and other wrongdoing compiled at the request of Mr. Colby's predecessor, James R. Schlesinger, in May, 1973. Mr. Schlesinger is now the Secretary of Defense.
Symington Briefed
According to these newly released documents, two Congressional figures, Senator Stuart Symington, Democrat of Mis souri, and Representative Lucien N. Nedzi, Democrat of Michigan, were briefed on the details more than two years ago.
This new material contained several disclosures:
According to a memorandum dated June 1, 1972, the major increase in the staff and facilities of the Special Operations Group came after Mr. Nixon had taken office on Jan. 20, 1969. The unit was the core of a domestic C.I.A. intelligence operation that has come under criticism for violating the agency's legal charter, which forbids the C.I.A. to engage in spying within the United States.

I think it was my first thought after waking up this morning that I used to date Julia Roberts a long time ago.
I also have these unexplained thoughts that I was a fighter pilot in the U.S. military, although I'm not sure which service, but I may have been in two different branches over time. I am also confused about thoughts that I may have been a helicopter pilot. What's next? A space shuttle pilot? Seems like a lot for someone that is only 40. And, while I am not sure when this divergence happened, I am reasonably certain it was before I turned 33. So I must have been a pretty busy guy. Especially because I have thoughts that I was some kind of mathmetician too. I have these thoughts too that I was captured by enemy forces at some point and tortured while in captivity.

I actually do remember... something... I can t explain it. It feels that I am holding an unmarked, undistinguishable book that I don t know the name of or the contents but I know I have read it already.

A few minutes ago I started thinking that maybe I started at Princeton University in 1972. I would have been 13 at the time as Thomas Ray. I remember that Kerry Burgess started first grade in 1972. But then I decided that I probably started Princeton earlier than 1972 and maybe 1972 was the year I completed my first major degree. Or 1972 doesn t really mean anything in particular to Thomas Ray; rather it is there for continuity sake for the life of Kerry Burgess.

Salesman
Also, "Salesman." I saw that in a dream while sleeping recently. I saw myself going through an induction process in the United States Marine Corps and I woke up understanding that I was dreaming of my actual experience in 1990. I saw a document that indicated I was being inducted to the United States Marine Corps with the officer grade of Chief Warrant Officer 2. I saw in the dream another document associated with my induction and that document indicated I had been assigned the informal name "Salesman."

Col. Andy Tanner: You think you're tough for eating beans every day? There's half a million scarecrows in Denver who'd give anything for one mouthful of what you got. They've been under siege for about three months. They live on rats and sawdust bread and sometimes... on each other. At night, the pyres for the dead light up the sky. It's medieval.

Erica: [closing narration] I never saw the Eckert Brothers again. In time, this war - like every other war - ended. But I never forgot. And I come to this place often, when no one else does.
[we see "Partisan Rock," with its memorial plaque, which she reads for us]
Erica: "... In the early days of World War 3, guerillas - mostly children - placed the names of their lost upon this rock. They fought here alone and gave up their lives, so that this nation should not perish from the earth."

BECKETT: And if they ever attacked, their ships would get torn apart just as the probe did.
TEYLA: And so it has remained for ten thousand years.
WEIR (turning back to the wall): This writing here -- this serves as a sort of welcome, as well as a warning for any of the humans under their protection looking for sanctuary; but I think it was left there for anyone who wanted to seek the path to ascension on their own.
DEX: And what's the warning?
WEIR: That once you cross the threshold, there's no return.
McKAY (smugly): That is, unless you have the exact location of the power source and the expertise to turn it off.

SHEPPARD: I'm talking about living it. (He looks round at everyone.) Haven't any of you got things you wanna do as flesh and blood human beings first? I mean, you-you talk about moving on to a plane of existence beyond your own mortality, but you haven't even really lived.
TEER: Our lives are full.
SHEPPARD: Well, I've spent a long time with you folks, and I don't think "full" means what you think it means.
AVRID: To ascend, one must meditate.
SHEPPARD: You're not meditating, you're hiding.
AVRID: From what?
SHEPPARD: You know the answer to that.
(Avrid looks at him, not understanding. Teer, however, realises what he's talking about.)
TEER: He means the Beast.
SHEPPARD: Yes, I do. Now I don't know how any of you expect me to feel like I belong here, but every time that thing comes around, I'm out there alone.

On May 9, 2006, as I watched the tv from a few miles away, the weather guy gesturing to a video image on the sidewalk below where he was standing and there was a guy standing there on the sidewalk with a canvas on an easel and he seemed to be painting a picture of the Space Needle across the street from him
The next morning, May 10, 2006, I awoke in that grungy homeless shelter on the waterfront in downtown Seattle and I knew with absolute certainty everything I remember about my past was wrong.

My thoughts suggest that some micro-meteroids hit my ship
while I was outbound to intercept the comet that threatened the inner planets.
I lost a lot of oxygen before I got it fixed. Ground control told me to turn around and they had an alternate plan to try again. I rejected that plan because I was already out there and with that comet getting closer every day, there was no guarantee that a second attempt would fare any better. I might have told them that I was lucky to even have any oxygen left at that point and what if on the second trip, something even worse happens.
They brought in my family, to say goodbye and even to try to talk me into returning but I wasn't coming back. I have thoughts that I even disabled the electronics that would allow ground control to automatically control the ship.
