I'll give it a chance, but I doubt that it'll hold my interest any more than "Stargate Atlantis" did. Personally, I'd much rather see them air new episodes of "Doctor Who," but I know that's not going to happen on this lame-a** excuse for a network (and I don't get BBC America, so I'm screwed until they arrive on DVD).
Well, since there *aren't* any "new episodes" of Doctor Who this year (just a handful of specials), it'll be difficult for them to arrive on DVD, let alone air on Syfy. And I'm sure that Syfy will be airing the specials as they're released, just as Space here in Canada will...albeit the better part of a year later :-(
Lou Diamond Phillips...Really...WHY?
I have enjoyed both SG series so I hope to see some great things on this new one.
