R.e. the other stuff, are you as annoyed with SG-1 as you are with SGA? I marathoned about six seasons of SG-1 in a couple of months two summers ago, and something that I noticed was that there was character development...but only across the span of seven seasons. By the end of SG-1's ten seasons, I can say that yes, the characters are, at the end of the series, at a different place than they were at the beginning, but only marginally, and only because they had ten seasons to tweak here and there. (And also, in my opinion, because the actors themselves changed the way they played the characters. Or, okay, Michael Shanks did. Daniel changed. The others...kinda. Sort of. A very tiny bit.)
I don't look for massive character development or deep and meaningful and complex story arcs in the Stargates. Imho that's not the kind of show they're producing. Sometimes that's annoying to me, but in this case not so much because I look for other things from the Stargates, and I get those things. (Good sci fi, interesting standalone stories, cool f/x, characters who despite being relatively 2D are still engaging...)
I don't think you're being harsh, but I do think that you're possibly looking for something in SGA that's just not there, nor will it ever be there. But that's imho.
