This pilot episode launches the best series of all time it could even be said that the pilot was on the same level if not better then the film. The two-hour movie length premiere was definitely worth watching. With the introduction of Captain Doctor Samantha Carter, Teal'c and Major General Hammond as a replacement for General West, the formation of SG-1 and the deeper plot lines, this makes for one of the shows best episode. The show also introduces it's main villain and its main characters and a lot of information. Loved the mythology of ancient Egypt being tied into being another form aliens. I like the playfulness Richard Dean Anderson brings to the character of Jack O'Neill. As well as Michael Shanks great portray of Daniel Jackson. They both make the characters very plausible.
