I think the Lucian Alliance only appeared on SG1, although it's possibly they made a brief appearance on an Earth-centered Atlantis ep and I'd forgotten. I don't think so, though.

I know the producers have been hinting the enemies won't be the same type, but I do hope there's at least some kind of ongoing antagonist, or at the very least someone to relate to (even if it's a society that they are sometimes at odds with and sometimes can work with, depending on their needs at a given moment), outside of the interpersonal stuff. The '12 hour time limit' (although that may not be a fixed time limit, it could be slightly different at each stop) lends itself to being able to do "visit once, forget ever after" type stories. But the whole galaxy does have a stargate network, so somebody's probably using them on a regular basis. Maybe they're using it as an opportunity to sort of find their way as they go, though.. you know, throw a few concepts out there, see if they really take fire with both their own imaginations and viewers (though in this case it would probably have to wait till season 2), and evolve them into an ongoing storyline. If they do, exploit them, if not, well, they're not going back to that planet again anytime soon.

I hadn't even noticed you'd mentioned her until now. I'll say this, though, it's alway nice to read positive comments about her from a new viewer. Or new to Tegan as a viewer. Nine times out of ten all I ever see is "JESUS, SHE'S SO ANNOYING."

Well, I'm still only two stories in to her run, so I reserve the right to find her annoying later, but not right now. Even among the 'standard human companion girl' type (probably my least favorite type, I like the aliens or not-from-the-present people), she's at least less bland than some.
