khaosworksJust watched this. Much better than The Ark of Truth, basically because this felt more like old-school Stargate SG-1. A couple of issues with the changing history thing behaving a bit different from how we've seen it work in the past, more for plot expediency purposes, which is a little annoying because it could have been handled in another way and more adroitly (and we know the writers are capable of it because they've done it before).
Otherwise, it holds together pretty well. Even the paradoxes thrown up can be made sense of without brain damage (you hear me, Russell T Davies?) and apart from the glitch mentioned, is consistent with what we've seen before – continuity being one thing that the Stargate television franchise has always done well. Also, the cameos from old characters we've not seen for years for various reasons are well worth it. That, and seeing dear Don Davis as General Hammond one last time.
Only reason I feel okay about watching this before the official release is because I've already pre-ordered the DVD. Much recommended for Stargate SG-1 fans. But then, if you are, you really should be buying this already.
