SG-1 tonight
Feb. 18th, 2006 02:23 amI really enjoyed this episode. :) Lots of funny cultural references, lots of team interaction!!!! hurray!!!! I knew this show can be good when they go off planet and have adventures together as a team. Though I'm sure they don't want these types of adventures together. Last week was torture, this week it's man eating bugs, yikes! Next week maybe they'll get an all day spa pass at a pleasure planet....okay not going to happen, but I'd have loved to see Cameron, Daniel and Teal'c walk around half naked in towels most of the episode.
All in all it was wonderful to see Robert Picardo again. :) I loved him in Voyager, as the doctor, and I love him in Stargate.

Still I love the new team and I love how they interact with each other.
Will probably DL / watch it later.

Date: 2006-02-18 09:55 am (UTC)I stopped reading the reviewers at GW and other boards...I mean yeah intellectually I can say some episodes didn't work as well as I'm sure the writers and directors hoped, but it's still better TV than most of what's on TV, and I think going into it's 10th year SG-1 is doing pretty good. I think it just takes some adjusting to having a new team member and losing RDA (great actor).
I think if you liked this season of SG-1 you'll also love the earlier episodes. :) I think in some cases those were more fun because they really were fighting against an enemy technologically more advanced, they were outnumbered, out gunned and were basically the underdogs and those stories never get old. Now they've built up a lot and have allies and I think at that point it's a little harder to come up with storylines that have the same tension? or whatever the people complaining at the forums are looking for, the only thing I can say about this seasons is that because they were building up a new enemy, introducing new characters, and etc...they didn't have a lot of real team episodes, which is my opinion Stargate SG-1's biggest strength as a show.
I mean I don't think the show ever made sense scientifically, or ever had episodes that didn't have plot holes, and character development was an afterthought in some cases, but it was easy to overlook them because it was fun to watch the team get in trouble and find a way out of it and make it home safe or at least alive. And for me that's why i still watch the show (plus I love explosions and space ships and alien races)
um this was supposed to be a lot shorter.
