The show ... in order to get into it myself, I had to do a sort of a highlights tour of the better episodes (okay, the ones with Tesla, I cannot lie *g*), which got me into the characters enough that I was able to go back and enjoy its more, um, flawed episodes. I do think the first season is very weak and the show picks up a lot in seasons two and three. But it's got a lot of the things that made Stargate so much fun: enjoyable characters, snark, and a really fun world concept.
