Jury still out at the moment having watched 1 and a little bit hours.
Certainly seems interesting though so I'll wait and see.

Has bits of Voyager, BSG, but seems to work well so far.
Carlyle makes a good Ahab.

I have to admit that I'm intrigued to see where and how they take the character of Rush forwards. From what I have read of the series (mainly Wikipedia but other bits by googling 'Nicholas Rush') they are keen to play on the machiavellian nature of the character.
Given that I would love to play a character with this sort of trait I'm keen to see the sort of things they have him do, so I can guage if it is possible to do similar within a game environment (not specifically thinking of Stargate here BTW!!)
In a similar way I think the example of Dr Rodney McKay is a good example of how to play a character that is very very intelligent and slightly 'antisocial' with it without being completely at odds with those around him.
Of course, chances are it would be impossible to play as machiavellian without massive allowances from the refs/crew, and would very well set the offending character against the rest of the party.
Back on topic, I will give it slightly longer to see if it grows on me...

Much the same for me really will see how it plans out. One concern is that they will have "planet of the week" episodes that they will never revisit as the ship conotinues moving onwards so the only progrression will be the people on the ship which is a limited pool.

They (being the Powers That Be) have said that they intend to focus more on the characters in the programme. That said I seem to recall every new TV show has someone sometime waffling on about how its all 'character driven'.

I enjoyed the first two episodes but then I'll watch anything that's even close to sci-fi and the Stargate genre is one of my favourites. I think it's got a lot of potential.

Yeah, it's good to know that even on TV there are people with no taste in camo too 
I enjoyed the first two episodes a lot. Whilst the moody strings are a little bit too BSG for words, I mainly like the fact that they have clearly been inspired by our LRP system.
Rush is the ultimate plot hog, whilst "angry brig bloke" is any gun bunny who refuses to take orders. That coupled with miltary characters pleading with civies to "move to the side" after they come through the Stargate and some major league cheasy angst means that it is SEF: the tv series.

Machiavellian takes patience and charisma, ref and crew involvement is not required. Done right, the other characters, even the other players, won't know what's going on.
Of course, done badly it' can be hilarious. The I'm-SOOO-Machiavellian player is a sad and ridiculous feature of most LRP systems.
