I was really looking forward to seeing this episode because I had hoped they'd explore the ancient ship some more. Unfortunately this was not the case and instead of making themselves busy with ancient technology they decided to go to a desert.
This isn't a bad episode but it just doesn't live up to it's potential, it's more the sort of episode you'd see somewhere mid-series and not at the very beginning. Also the underlying story of Mathew Scott dealing with his childhood sorrows was completely redundant. It's a facet to stargate I hope not see again.
What happened to the happy go lucky stargatebunch.
My advice to the writers is to tone it down, throw some humor into it, choose your serious characters (e.g. Dr. Rush) and let the rest just enjoy themselves like the original SG-1
