I agree. I've said it before I'll say it again, its the only way to create a true sense of a world.
Giving just that little bit of time to minor characters can be so rewarding. I think Atlantis has noticed that and SG1 are beginning to. I honestly don't think Peter Grodin, Radek Zelenka, Sgt. Bates or in the highest profile case Carson Beckett would ever have been given the time on SG1. Yet look at the fan reaction to them.
I don't know what years concide between S8 of SG1 and S1/2 of Atlantis but I think this is the first evidence of seriously attempting to develop or use for a better purpose, the minor characters in SG1. I think to an extent this begins to transfer through to S9 as well.
