Nor was there really much if any character development. Looks like they finally caved into to the pressures of the old SG1 reputation (for making action flicks).

Really? I thought it was quite exciting!
Sure they COULD go down the "weekly pew pew" route but I was encouraged by the fact that they didn't reveal too much about the aliens: No name, no translation, motivations only speculated against... It was a fine way to introduce an antagonist.
Remember at the end of first episode when a mysterious pod was seen detaching from Destiny? On the after-show they have on Space channel here in Canada, it was revealed with a close-up screengrab that that pod was actually one of this Alien's fighter ships. They've been watching since the beginning! How cool is that? It shows that the writers are playing the long game and I think it bodes well for how they plot out aliens over the coming seasons.
