Thus it begins...

So I finally got around to watching the pilot for Stargate SG-1. I was pleasantly surprised. After having been obsessed with the movie for a long time, I always worried the TV series would be a letdown, much like, say, Disney sequels. [I asked jd3000 about this once, and he reassured me the TV series was great; and it'd been on my watch list even before that -- I'm just bad at actually sitting down and watching things that are longer than 20 minutes a pop.] I think it mostly lives up to what I liked about the movie. There was some weirdness, of course, but what can you do. I really like how they kept some of the main musical themes from the movie. I think that eased my transition, however subtly.

( Nitpicking a minor continuity issue, with possible spoilers for the movie and/or pilot. )

Oh, and another nitpick: Daniel can't pronounce "Sha'uri" consistently, much less the way he did in the movie. D:

Anyhow, there's no way I'm going to get through the series anywhere near as quickly as a certain someone has been, but you may expect that I will be posting occasional musings, much like I do with anime. And eventually I can start going through your posts, kalquessa -- I hope they're all properly tagged. ;)
