Well, I really loved having my team back. And I loved everyone being so concerned about Elizabeth (oh, Ronon!). John did bug me a few times with his 'zomgdowhatIsayorelse!!' attitude, but overall I found the characters very well written. And the Asuran plotline was kind of intriguing. Ever Carter didn't bother me as much I thought she would (but that may perhaps change), and doctor Lee was funny as hell. :))
