I think I'll just put a post on my lj to direct people to this one--you said it all, and very well, as usual!
I enjoyed it a lot more than I expected to and I was moderately spoiled, having seen trailers, read Mallozzi's blog, etc. I had not sought them out, but did not look away when I found something.
I did find the sex scene to be really gratuitous but other than that I liked it. Loved seeing "our team" (3 of them, anyway) again, and while they didn't have much, it was all worth watching, so I was fairly well satisfied on that point. I did hear the Hammond referred to by name twice but wish it had been more, and more prominently, just out of love for General Hammond (and Don Davis).
All in all, well worth watching, but I don't think, this time around, that I will also tape. I did with SGA and have realized I have never rewatched any of them, other than the Jack episodes. SG1, of course, I have on dvd now and rewatch regularly!
Thanks for a good review. I hope it does well, for the sake of the overall franchise. Melissa M.
