FAQ

Why don't they use the communications stones to get someone like Jennifer Keller, Carson Beckett, Samantha Carter, Daniel Jackson, Rodney McKay, and/or Radek Zalenka to help?
How come they talk about some stargates being "in range"?
Why does Colonel Young appear as two different people?/ How does he get to Earth?

Nothing special so far, 11 October 2009
5/10
Author: n_14 from Canada

The idea of the 9th Chevron was a great premise to start the show off, but after that's all said and done, what do they have left? I know everyone is comparing it to BSG, or even Voyager, but apart from the obvious similarities, I don't think this show has the 1 key ingredient that made BSG work, and that is good characters. Apart from the comic relief kid Eli who can be entertaining(and that is being generous), I really don't like any of the other characters, and I already dislike a few. This Chloe girl that they seem to be so invested in (giving her a lot of screen time) annoys the heck out of me, I don't like her and could care less about her dead dad, who was a prick to begin with.. but I digress. The fact is this show has only 1 good thing going for it, and that is good plot devices (stargates, Ancients, 9th chevron) but hasn't most of this been done to death already? As we saw nearing the end of Atlantis.. Another problem is that the writers for the show don't seem to know what Stargate fans really like, we don't care about Chloe's feelings, or her "developing" relationship with this Mathew kid, this stuff would be mildly interesting after we have gotten to know the characters a bit more, but please don't turn this into Stargate Degrassi.. Stick to new alien races, new cool technology, unlocked mysteries that explain ancients/earths history, perhaps the Furlings?? :) and please.. no more Replicators..

I'll still give the show a chance, I've only seen 3 episodes, so I may be jumping the gun, but I don't like what I've seen so far.
