Alright - first of all, I really liked the idea of it. I was and am a hardcore Buffy (and Angel) fan, long before I was ever a Stargate fan.
That said I have a few quibbles...
I found that many of the lyrics were forced... it didn't really fit with the music... I've seen the musical over a dozen times (yeah, I know, obsessed much), and have endlessly lisened to the soundtrack (when it came out)... some of the lyrics didn't fit with the tune, and I'm really anal about it (*meep* sorry, had to be said).
It might have also been nice if you'd maybe changed more of the lyrics in the songs... make them more your own, involving more of your original plot. I mean, it was a good tribute to Buffy, but it might have been cooler if you'd REALLY Stargated (not a word, but we'll use it anyway) it up.
eg. - "A Funny Thing Happened On the Way to the Stargate" http://community.livejournal.com/sga_flashfic/451818.html?page=2#comments ---> If you haven't read it you must. You'll get what I mean.

With all the criticism (sorry) out of the way, I'll move onto the good points.
--> Wonderful concept, I'll admit, I always like putting other shows to the Buffy musical. It's great that you actually did it. :D - Love the idea.
--> Ronon's bunny-phobia - if anyone should have one it should be him (that's just hilarious)
--> Reference to 'Springtime for Hitler' and 'Modern Major General'.... that just got SO many random ideas floating in my head it's not even funny!!... except of course that it is!!!!!!
--> You made it John/Rodney ('nuff said)
--> I liked the infirmary scene with Rodney singing to John
--> LOL - the part with Rodney accusing Cadman and Carson glaring at him... "#Which is ridiculous, I’m too suspicious, Laura’s lovely and was in my head and she can tapdance and I’ll be over here.# " --- THAT was priceless.

--> I can SO see Carson being the cause of this.
