Yep. Time travel/AU stuff can be a fun "what if" now and again, but doing essentially the same schtick over and over, especially hitting the reset button at the end, got really old.
It doesn't allow the characters to actually learn something and move forward, as usually nothing really happened. Daniel's peek into the AU world and learning that the Goa'uld were coming had consequences, and was used to good effect in "our" universe, but so often it came down to just figuring out a way to show Sam and Jack were together without consequences.
