I have to admit that overall I was expecting more for this series. The first two episodes were fantastic, and the themesong (thanks to Joel Goldsmith) is really great. Then it started to slow down. We have a few DS9 leftovers making appearances as alien cultures, but no real substance. Part of being a popular sci fi series is dabbeling into theoretical science and taking the viewer into a different world. The entity is 'Hide and Seek' was okay, although it was derivitive of every sci fi series ever. Then the puddle jumper gets stuck in the stargate. Suddenly Dr. McKay is the single most annyoing person in history. He hasen't shut up since. I still am going to watch after it returnes for episode 10, but I will not if the poor quality of writing continues to the season ender.
This series has great potential, but potential can be wasted.
