While I agree that RDA play's O'Neill diferently I think that Michael Shanks does a very impressive job of duplicating James Spader's portrayal of Daniel Jackson right down to the gestures and speech patterns. Though I must admit he has made the part more his own as the series has gone on.
As to the difference in the character of O'Neill, he had over a year to recover from the loss of his son between the movie and the beginning of the series so I tend to view the wisecracking O'Neill as his normal attitude and the tormented O'Neill of the movie as the result of the recent tragedy in his life.
Overall however I recommend SG-1 highly. In addition to the praise heaped on it above I like the way the over arcing story is handled. Not every story is tide into the arc, but they take into account the things that have happened in previous eps.
When the show started I was worried that they would bring back all this alien tech and then it would just disappear into govt labs and never be seen again. I am happy that I was wrong. Though it was a while, several seasons in fact, this is a reasonable amount of time to begin to retroengineer advanced alien technology.
Now, in the sixth season they have developed a number of very advanced devices and made allies of a number of alien species.
