I'm finding the show intriguing enough to keep watching at the moment. Almost stayed in the doom/gloom mood of the pilot and first 2 eps after for too long -picked up some lighter moments and such at the right time to keep me from beginning to feel depressed during each episode.
I personally really liked the time-loop episode - lots of tension and WTF/Holy-crap-they-just-did-that moments. Yes, it was a done plot, by both previous SG shows all the way back to the season 2 episode of SG1: "1969", but the way in which it was done was quite cool. Liked the use of the Kenos to tell the story and give some character moments.
One thing that i found very, very intriguing if my 'what-if-there's-a-connection' sense is right:
The space suits they find look FAAAARRR to similar to the suits of the 'unknown aliens' who are prominent in the Season 5 2-parter of Atlantis that feature Daniel Jackson (not to spoil people who haven't seen the episode).
The suits, aside from the helmets, ARE EXACTLY the same design, and can't in my mind be a coincidence.
One reason to keep watching!

Shocking end to the "mid-season finale."
wtf is a "mid-season finale" anyway?

From what I saw, I actually like it and will be looking for the first season on Blue-ray.
To be fair, I was never a big fan of the various Stargate incarnations. This goes right back to the original movie. I felt cheated. Great, and I mean truely GREAT premise and the first part of the movie right up to when they opened the gate had me rivited.
BUT, once they went through... I very nearly walked out.
I think the reason I like Universe, the thing that sold me on it not even 10 mins into the show, was the characters. Even the effects seemed much more darker, more gritty.
So I'll watch more! I'd rather let the show dissappoint me than to pre-judge it. It's actually a good rule to live by.

Been trying , sort of, to get hooked on this show, but it's just not happening. Not even close. I have no idea who anyone is, why I should care, and can't find any remote connection w/ the other SG shows.
It just doesn't FEEL like it's a part of the SG family.
Am I the only one?
The T.Rex they call JANE!

You're not alone, and I am not crazy about this new SG but it really isn't bad. Certainly not bad compared to most other stuff on TV.

yes i like it bieng a gate fan, im willing to try anyshow gate related. good things: eli, col young blond female caracter, black caracter. the kino bits. col young needs to lighten up a bit. bad things, kind of too gritty vibe, makes me think of BSG. RUSH is a dirtbag, but he didnot deserve to be stranded on that planet by the col. i do like the things with the comm stones, so everyone can touch base at home, and i think the cols wife has issues, what a biotch.

Well now you will have more time for The Bachelor, The Millionaire Matchmaker,
Project Runway, Idol, Survivor, The Apprentice, I could go on and on.... my point is when there is such an abundance of utter tripe on TV i'm prepared to give SG a chance.
