    meh you will continue to watch it :p

    the first few episodes of a new show arent always great, especially when there new ship isnt working properly, they have the air going so it will or should get better from there.
    Why work when you can drink

    It's more so the dialogue, characters and tone that I'm concerned about - not the plot path or unfolding of events in a general sense.

    As Harby said, the show feels confused so far. Is it a comedy, a drama or a sci-fi? It takes something special to put all of those pieces together successfully, and I don't think this show has that. Like most, it should stick to doing one of them well. I don't find the fat fella funny, the "drama" irritates me, and the sci-fi seems almost amiss bar the super-cool ship.

    Anyway, see how we go with the next episode...

    Just more of "syfy" trying to attract "better" audiences, by alienating their core demographic.

    the acting in the show really isnt very good.
    the blonde chick is a shocker.

    on another note, a friend of mine pointed out last episode the reason for needing a person to push the button - you need the ancient gene to operate anything.

    was that his shuttlepod at the end?

    I give up. Scheduling stopped, episodes deleted. The first 10 minutes of Ep 4 made me feel nauseous with boredom and embarrassment for the producers, directors and actors.

    Next.

    Oh look, it's Firefly all over again.

    On another note, it's getting the thumbs up from the people in the house who haven't liked stargate all that much beforehand.
