OK, then I’m still a bit behind you. I just had the gate activating and the darts flying through.
I’ll pause for a minute or two.
They’ve done a really good job of setting up a few things for later.
Just got to the darts flying back into the gate.
And now some special effects that hold up really frakking well.
The city surfacing is beautiful.
hey, we have a balcony now!
Yeah. The sky behind them seems pretty fake though.
And we’ve got our first space gate.
“Now I’m thinking about a nice turkey sandwich.” 
And we’ve got the Puddle Jumper.
Oh, the scene I was thinking of must be in a later episode.
“It’s like it reads your mind.”
Yeah, exactly like it reads your mind.
“Now I’m thinking about a nice turkey sandwich.”
That animal head centerpiece was actually first seen in Children of the Gods, which is a nice little nod to the franchise history.
And now our first creepy Wraith Queen.
Yeah, GateShip One sounds like a ride at Epcot.
“You can name it later.” 
Yeah, they need to get more depth in people with the Gene, especially pilots pretty quick.
You know, unlike SG-1, there aren’t really any specific individual Wraith enemies until season 2 or 3. No one distinctive and recurring like Apophis was in the first couple seasons of SG-1.
“THAT has to kill you” You hope.
“Hope that was the hard part.”
Yeah, not so much.
And with the shield, we can actually see the splats.
“We’re in another galaxy, how much more ‘out’ can you get?”
Nice little gag with Rodney and Carson there.
