Good list! I agree with just about all of it. I was so thinking Jedi training orb - which brings me to one of two things that didn't let me truly engage in the show. OMG how many shows/movies can we rip off: BSG, Voyager, Last Starfighter, Lost in Space (Rush and the premise), Star Wars...I know there were more as a I was watching. Secondly, I also didn't really like any of the characters - they just didn't grab me and I felt myself starting to clock watch. Way too many commercials didn't help either
( ... )
True on the rip-offs, but I guess you could consider it homage...
I didn't notice the commercials, as I was slightly behind live TV and fast forwarded most of them.
And totally on the sex scene. I didn't list it here specifically because I didn't want to look like a prude (which I'm totally not), but it was just stupid. It did nothing to advance anything. I suppose you could say it's to make the characters feel more "real," but I think it just made those two characters look like idiots.
I'll likely watch simply because it'll be on next to Sanctuary, but...yeah...not exactly exciting. But I knew that.
So, re: the sex scene. Cleo made a valid point elsewhere that is was intended to show the immaturity of Scott. Ok, I can see that. He's a guy thrown in way over his head and all that. Got it. But...still didn't need it and too sudden and didn't do anything for me.
I could see that but jeesh only an hour or so into the situation, at least that's what it seemed like. I would hope that military officers in the Stargate program (and in reality) would be slightly more disciplined especially at his supposed higher rank (?). I could think of other ways of showing immaturity without a gratuitous sex scene. Plus I think the writers/producers just wanted to do this to make the show more "edgy" or......they are just boys ;)

I thought Eli was too big of a cliché and wouldn't shut the F up.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not in love with him, but he made me giggle a bit.
