Only recently did I begin watching SG1 and Atlantis. A work conflict will do that.
As with a few others, Carlyle's presence compelled me to watch. Thus far, as expected, I am in love with his character. The goofus teen is a fantastic counterbalance.

I did not watch BSG. A bit of an inate prejudice, I confess as I wanted my childhood show intact, much like my Doctor Who, but I digress....

I feel, thus far, SG:U is a bit of BSG (with the character-driven, more apt to sexual content), Farscape (on a ship of foreign extraction into unknown wonders) and the Gate-verse fans know.
A few points of canon make me wish I'd paid more attention and seen more episodes of the previous incarnations.
Certainly seems darker, though I hope it avoids any soap opera-esque trends as that will always turn me off of a show.

Also, if you haven't seen it, Carlyle in Formula 51 as Felix DeSouza; starred Samuel L. Jackson.
