I don't have any problems with it, having been a faithful watcher of the franchise for a decade and knowing all about the ins and outs of gate physics, the ancients, the communication stones and the SGC/NID command structure. They do not.In past SG, the exposition has always come in bursts of Carter/Daniel/McKay monologues, which SGU so far lacks. They seem to be going for something more natural, but I don't think it's working.Other shows make it work, so I hope they work out the kinks. I love SG and I think SGU shows promise, even if it's start is a bit buggy. I  do hope though, that they don't go overly BSG on us. I think SG needed a shake up and I like BSG, but I like it for different reasons than I do SG. In any case, I'm not that convinced the SG writers are up to the task. Hopefully they'll be able to find a good balance between the styles.</blockquote>
