Time Travel ..., Which Flicks Did It Right?

Along the way, McKay would inevitably destroy 3 galaxies and rid two more of evil parasitic species.

NOOOO!!! Damn you citrus!

At least. I'd say 1 per season, bare minimum.

From where I sit, this would happen regardless of McKay's presence. The entire SG program seems to be getting to be an old hand at killing off evil parasitic species.

Or more along McKay's usual verbage..
"I'm gonna die. I'm gonna die a slow, painful death from scurvy, while the rest of you sit around laughing at me. This is so typical of military foresight. They've thought far enough ahead to include plenty of birth control for our female members, but it never occurs to them that the single most important member of this expedition might be DEATHLY ALLERGIC TO CITRUS!!!"
Now picture him with that exasperated, flushed, puppy-dog-eyes look he gets whenever he rants.
EDIT: Here's something very close to that look...

I think it's definitely been a good start but perhaps a little slow. I like that it's a continuing story versus being episodic. My favorites in previous Stargates were always the ones that continued the main story lines while the episode based ones seemed more like filler (though several were excellent in their own right).

There is definitely more character development already. I'm not big on caring too much about "back stories" though. Give me a little bit of that and I'm fine but too much is boring. I could give a shite about Col. Young's selfish whiney wife back on Earth. I think his boring rigidity is purposeful in tha it allows the other characters to be contrasting.

I'd agree that Scott isn't much likable either. Hopefully, the Senator's daughter gets some treatment ala "River" from Serenity. Maybe a chick fight with Scott's buxom storage room boinkee? Never anything wrong with chicks fighting.

The Rush character interests me the most but I'm already wishing he'd be more forthcoming with what he knows just so I don't have to listen to Young's paranoia. A little bit of personality ala his "Trainspotting" character would be ok. Let's see him bust a mug full of ale over Young's noodle while using the "C" word eh?

There seems to be very little McKay/Carter tech explorations/explanations. I don't know yet if that's a good thing or a bad thing but I would like to hear more about Destiny's technologies and/or capabilities. I'd like to learn a little bit more about where exactly they are as well. Are we talking about a neighbor (local cluster) galaxy? Or are they crazy far out there? Hopefully, they are scared to say, "Hey ... we're in M-87" or wherever.

And it would be ok once if they solved a problem early in the show.

My favorite character so far is definitely Lt. Johansen because she's hotness and I'm pretty sure hormone-boy Scott wouldn't be able to sully her. I know the Ming-Na character is a lesbian ... so I'm also hoping for some "Asian/Nordic - Dark Meat/Light Meat" action between those two.

Greer is interesting for his unedited unreasoned toughness/anger though so hopefully we'll get to see him smack around a few more twits.

And from what I understand we're not going to see any English speaking humanoid aliens. That's a good thing. And I know the producers said no furlings.

And oh yeah ... I predict that Eli ain't getting laid on this show EvAH.

I tend to agree, although I should point out that I found that later seasons of SG-1 and pretty much the entirety of Atlantis managed to strike that perfect balance between the serial and episodic formats. Each episode has a definite plot in and of itself, but there were these 'loose threads' that could be resolved by watching them all in order.

Judging from the most recent episode, I'd say that it's going to be either that, or they get all buddy-buddy and turn against Scott.

Personally, I liked Robert Carlyle's character in 28 Weeks Later the best. He does a good job at portraying that deeply-flawed-yet-well-meaning-guy-wracked-with-guilt-over-his-own-weaknesses. I can see hints of this in Rush, and I think that bringing this out would be great, not only for the sake of acting, but to make the character a little more understandable.

I'm sure that's coming.

Greer is my hands down favorite. I wouldn't always agree with this guy if we were friends, but Goddamn do we agree on the best way to make an idiot do the right thing...

I love the first idea. I'm okay with the second.

At least not by anything human and non-malevolent. I could see him scoring with an alien succubus.

As long as I don't have to see some queer Cephalopod-variant multi-reach around with dirty-sanchez finishing action then I'm happy for him.
