Did anyone else see the two-hour movie/pilot for the new series? I was able to catch it earlier this morning and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Well, it's actually a 90 minute pilot, but to be honest I thought the whole thing was a little bit "meh". Increasingly Stargate has become just like any other Sci-Fi show, the idea that humans don't have spaceships and are at a massive dissadvantage is a distant memory.

Wow, no SG fans here? You guys are a disgrace!

I love stargate!!

Mainly SG-1 didn't get on so well with atlantis spin off series...

Haven't seen it will have to check it out...

I'm watching SG-1 on Hulu right now. I forgot about SGU on Friday. It looked a little like BSG in the Stargate universe. I find Atlantis annoying as hell but SG-1 is pretty good.

From what I've been reading, there won't be any people dressed up in plastic costumes acting as aliens that speak English anymore.

I have great hopes for SGU.

I'm deliberately resurrecting this thread as I've just caught up with SGU yesterday, currently running at S02E03.
I'm quite enthusiastic.
Although I had a couple of difficulties with the high conflict potential among the crew for the first episodes, I came to like exactly that now.
This dark, rusty, somehow still uncontrollable ship and the sometimes extremely difficult people aboard (teamed with some very interesting character setups) is quite a successful formula IMO.
I found it very refreshing that this wasn't about "step through the gate, defeat villains, save world, head back last second".
Does anyone else actually like the show?
