So i watched the two episode season premiere moments ago and i will say i'm impressed...and can easily see why people can watch it without prior knowledge to stargate. Compared to the two previous series, this is completely different, at least in the starting two episodes, its stargate..but its not too.
I won't really say much at the moment, mainly cause i'm still processing it all, but i'd give it a watch regardless of if you've seen Stargate or not. My only warning to those that have, don't expect any of the comical style moments you get with the likes of O'neil and such, because it feels like it has a more mature theme to it(despite being Tv14 in the US)
