TV series here) thrown in for good measure.
I'll definitely be watching it to see how it develops, but if it's going to hold my attention it's going to have to break out of the seven-year-old format before it gets tired.

Oh dear
I've seen the first 10 episodes of the series, and although I like it, I can't honestly say it's really anything new.
Just as you say - new characters,enemy,location and stargate. But I guess it may improve - some series' do with time.
edit - the thought also occurs to me that they are going to go down the 'oh look we're in an alien colony so we can find some technology to get us out of a tight spot' thing.... I hate that.
