I was a little shocked that I liked it. One thing that absolutely fascinates me is Amanda Tapping's utterly convincing dialect work. Her "English accent" is the accent of someone who's not trying to do an English accent, if that makes any sense. She's a different person, her entire emotional expression is altered. I think I saw Samantha Carter lurking in there maybe once in an early episode when she had to scream. I guess it helps that her mum is English--maybe she's just impersonating her, calls her up in the middle of the night, "How would you pronounce 'controversy' again?"

I enjoy all the alternative history stuff. Any show with Nikola Tesla as a recurring villain can't be a total loss!

Hey, hey, hey, don't be mean. We don't have to be mean, because, remember, no matter where you go, there you are.
