What an odd combination of a soap opera, drama, and sci fi. Although paling in comparison to SG-1, it is mildly entertaining at points. I will award the show an A for effort, and a C for follow through. Great acting, great plot....appropriate for the genre? Meh. Not in the opinion of this writer. Generally a let down in terms of moving the Stargate story line forward, although it may breathe new life into science fiction with the inclusion of jealous romances, lesbians and psychotics that can swap bodies /sigh/. Is this a space Melrose place? How many good actors can you throw at a soap opera and still have it be terrible regardless of the context you present it in? Alex Chapple is trying to find out.
