Oh man, SPN is killing me here. I had so much fun watching in season 1 and even 2 because I LOVED the monster of the week episodes and finding new urban legends and now the show is so different...and yes has a lot of gender and racial issues. :( But I keep hoping it'll get back to what made it good.
I think for me what I liked about SGA in the beginning was that sense of being on their own, making new allies, meeting new aliens, and that sense of danger. Once they re-connected with earth I think things got too easy for them so the plots became even more contrived in order to place the team in danger. And the characters got stupider. In season one there was no need to dumb down the characters because the odds were already stacked against them.
