Anyhow, I started watching the pilot, was relieved when I realised out that the show didn't try to replace the movie (a la Nikita) but succeed it, all past events had still happened.
I also noted they must have a pretty good budget, those weapons they carry (M-249 machineguns, semi-auto assault shotguns) and the other equipment must've cost a fortune.
Then it happened. That "god-of-night" hypnotized Sha're before the alien examination and left her IN THE NIP!!! I couldn't believe it! I've never seen so much skin in any 45min TV-show! And with MacGyver in it as well, mr boy scout!
I discussed it with a girl in my office yesterday, she had also been surprised, but thought it a good move, bodies are nothing to be ashamed of.
So did this stir up hell in the US? Did the show get banned from any channels, did it start any debates on talkshows?? Did the producers have to edit it or something, to reach more channels? And will there be more of it in the series?
I suppose that if they decide to drop the bomb this early, they'll try to take advantage of it while they can.
To my knowledge this is the only show I've ever seen with full nudity in it, or have there been others? Will Trek get some?

Funny though, that the US and Canada must buy this "special" episode that we got for free.
Six months ago a debate show on our TV4 discussed the topic of what you may and may not show on TV. They topped it off with getting a young couple that would have sex in live television if the "yes" side won in their phone vote. That was cool.
People even SMS:ed in their vote.
"Yes" won with 80-20.

Our problem is we've got this old, puritanical mindset (brought to you by your friendly neighborhood paranoid fundies) that the human body and sex are somehow 'dirty.'
There'd be less violence if there was more sex. Nobody'd have the TIME!

IMHO, it just added to the no-kidding, we're-doing-serious-AND-enjoyable-scifi-and-LIKING-it, attitude of the whole show. Instead of a cheap "ooh, sex" gimmick, it hit me more as "we don't stoop to inventing some silly and perverse explanation to why the Goa'uld WOULDN'T strip the poor girl nude" honesty.

Too bad the show didn't stay on air constantly, but kept going to these pauses of indeterminate lenghts, until it finally stalled in the third season. I'm *desperate* for season 4 episodes... Luckily, there's a good web forum for that show as well (http://www.gaters.net).

The edits are called the "Euro-minutes": probably because the Europeans get to see the whole episode. When Highlander was released on video in season box-sets, the Euro-minutes were added for the American release. Quite a few of the first season's Euro-minutes featured Duncan and Tessa ... and not many clothes. Prophecy in the Fifth Season featured an extended end scene with Duncan and Cassandra (Tracy Scoggins) getting it down and dirty ...
On the all and all, the vast majority of the Euro-minutes are either the "Darius/Waterloo" flashback that TPTB decide they need to repeat ten times each season, or dialogue cut out ... there was a great scene with Methos and a "Villain of the Week" the episode where the British guy was trying to kill MacLeod for Mac's actions against the English... in a Season V episode -- can't think of the name, and I can't check either 'cuz they're all boxed up -- ah, but it was a great bit of dialogue that we 'mericans didn't get ...

And what's up with Richard Dean Anderson? He gets this "whiny ol' fart" voice when he yells nowadays. "General, ye cean't send theat bomb through, ye jest cean't!!!" He never sounded like that in MacGyver...
But I must say I was surprised at the development there, I thought they'd feed on that "one of the goodguys is in fact one of them" for a whole season, like Seska and that pathetic ensign that ended up in the warp core. Of course, they probably hadn't planned to devilize Seska from the beginning.
And the SG-1 action is great, very professional military-style moves when Kowalski smacked down those two little guards. Star Trek has always had the crappiest fight coordinators, apart from Tsunkatse.
