We recorded it and will watch it sometime before the next episode airs.

Well, the one ship was named the USS George Hammond (from Texas). That was cool. Other than that, I'm mixed. It was kind of lame when compared to the other Stargate series. All in all, I was left somewhat disappointed. Perhaps it will get better in the next few episodes.

I like the show, but the background theme....the good guys are a long way from home and spend every episode trying to get back.  That theme goes back to Gilligan's Island, and many, many others.  Time for something new.

Some of the acting and dialog was just too over the top or just plain bad.  And I wondered why they didn't use one of those floating cameras to close the hatch instead of having a person do it?  Other than that, I liked it.

OK, I've watched all of the episodes at least once and I have to say that this show just doesn't capture me like Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis did. I'm having a tough time getting into it.

Same here. I'm more interested in the SG: Atlantis movie and the Stargate movie to come out.
