Stargate is definitely a "take it how it is" show, and it does many things right just like you said. It's just that, to paraphrase from another amazing sci-fi show which had everything probably including the kitchen sink - it could be more. I'm not trying to compare it with Farscape, but sometimes I wish I could. : )
Farscape is a pretty high bar, for comparison. And it may have spoiled us for other shows. Although, god, still pretty much hate season 4 (hey kids, lets switch one annoying red headed alien for another, younger one! Whee! :P)
Still, as far as shippiness goes, you couldn't do better than Aeryn and Crichton. So, really, wasn't so special that SG1 brought the actors in, then put them with other people? WTF?
OK, I'm rambling. Did I have a point? I may be too tired to know. *facepalm*
