I think I pretty much second what everyone here has said.
My main bitch though, is the way they make Rodney into an idiot whenever Carter's around. Plus, whenever certain people :cough, cough: have direct influence over an episode, they turn him back into SG-1 Rodney (the one we first met all those years ago and really didn't like). Any character progression will be lost, just to show us how "good" Carter is. Also, she doesn't exactly treat him the best, is often rude and dismissive (yes, he can be a bit of an idiot, but still...), so I wonder how this will translate to Atlantis with her being his boss.
Also, to get a bit OT, doesn't the addition of a Colonel as the leader kinda diminish the whole "Atlantis is civilian run" theme that's permeated the whole show, and led to some interesting situations that would surely have been handled differently and in a more militaristic manner had it been set in the SG-1 'verse. If you know what I mean. Sorry, but it kinda came to mind whilst reading this.
