Well tonight was the premiere of all new episodes on Scifi Friday.

Stargate SG1 didn’t meet my expectations. Its almost like a brand new series, and most scifi series aren’t very good for the first couple seasons.

Lt. Col. Mitchell is a nice character, and I think that once he gets some rhythm with the other characters that he will be great. I think that his relationship with the other characters needs to be established more. The new General is pretty good. He seems to have more depth and action that Gen. Hammond did. The Vala character unnerves me. She seems too preoccupied with lust which is distracting for the show and makes me uncomfortable. Its almost like the writers are trying too hard to put some appeal for hormone driven males.

The storyline for the first episode was also disappointing. A treasure hunt is not the most exciting thing and didn’t seem very original. I was also hoping for more explanation why all of a sudden everything has changed. Why did O’Neil quit all of a sudden, and weren’t him and Carter getting together?

Ahh! Transition woes. Perhaps after all the excitement the last 5 episodes of last season, the new season seems kind of dull.

Stargate Atlantis Tonight’s episode was great. Although I’m a little disappointed to find out that their cliff-hanger of last season was solved simply by a sudden arrival of the starship from Earth. I mean, it was kind of predictable, I was hoping for something a little more surprising. But that is about my only complaint.

The whole Lt. Ford deal going bad was a great twist. Having the captain of the Starship seems like a great character, and I hope they keep him around. New characters seem like they will do well with the series, the story plot of tonight’s episode was great and exciting. I hope that this season will be full of adventure and not full of some alien power fog.

Battlestar Galactica. I was glad that finally Number Six’s role was family appropriate. And I just saw that there is a director’s commentary downloadable through a podcast, so I might actually watch the episode again tonight.

Tonight’s episode picked right up where we left off. It was a normal level of excitement, pretty good stuff. I wanted to see a little bit more time spent on Starbuck’s adventures on Caprica. Overall, a pretty good episode, better than most, but not anything I would write home about.
