Has anyone else seen StarGate - Continuum yet?
It was aired on Sky One last night and I really enjoyed it.
Without giving too much away, it was great to see some of the old characters from the series return (some briefer than others). And the use of time travel and alternate time lines was well used, with the points of view from those in the alternate timeline being more logical and how we would think instead of the usual approach they take in most Sci-Fi episodes that use this plotline.
There were definitely not the same level of CGI effects in this one compared to the last SG1 film or the last full series, but I don't think that was a bad thing. Although I would say the story over all wasn't as exciting or as gripping as the best episodes from the series.
It is definitely still worth watching.
7.5/10

I was really enjoying it but then just as it was getting interesting our entire block suffered from a power cut! I shouted NOOOOO at the TV, but it made no difference.
The power was restored some three hours later, so I'll have to finish watching this tonight on Sky Two.
As you said, it was nice to see some old characters. Shame Apophis got the chop again - he was always a fantastic villain and I would have enjoyed him playing a larger role.
Also nice to see General Hammond for one last time, as he must have died shortly after this was filmed. RIP Don S. Davies.
