Stargate Sg-1 theme - anyone else hear Shostakovich?

I decided to start going through one of my favourite shows as a kid - a time long before I was familiar with classical music. As I was enjoying the grand opening theme, something just struck me as rather Shostakovich about it - even reminding me a lot of the Leningrad Symphony, and sure enough at the climax to Symphony 7, there is a motif which is eerily similar.

Would be interesting to see if there are fans of the SG-1 show here and its glorious theme music, and if anyone else shares my impression:)
