The final third of the show rivals the original series, perhaps even surpassing it at some points. It was phenomenal imo. If the show had such quality throughout, I'd give it a 10/10, but two things that bugged me: (1) the fanservice is worse than in the original. We did not need a closeup of Moeka getting her boobs tickled come on, it's disrespectful to the characters and the audience. Plus, the short girl had her boobs exposed to other characters too often in ways that never enhanced the plot (eg. The muscles relaxing scene, towel dangling in lab shower, etc). (2) The pacing midway through is not great in my opinion, the show doesn't have the same thru-line the original did (originally it was developing time travel and stopping CERN), but the midpoint of SG0 jumped from side plot to side plot, and while several of these came together in the end, it was disengaging for me during the mid-section for that reason. Perhaps part of the problem is due to me watching the show in chronological order (SG0 between ep22 and 23 of the original) and so the sudden slow and frankly often uneventful pacing of the first half really stuck out when placed in the middle of the original shows climax.
However, the ending was incredibly satisfying, I had a massive grin on my face just seeing it, and I think it's well worth watching for that alone. An excellent show overall, but those two problems did detract from my viewing experience somewhat and I wish I'd finished the original before starting it as to not mess with the flow of tension.
