Stargate SG-1
Browder's first Stargate episode was last night.
Basically, it was John Crichton meets Stargate. All the Crichton humor,
mannerisms and arrogance was there, but I think that will work. Unless the
writers completely suck, he may just be able to pull this off and replace
Richard Dean Anderson.
By putting it directly into SG-1 it became interesting that to me it
seemed like the Chrichton persona was something of an amalgamation of
Jackson and O'Neill. I thought Browder played very interestingly
against Shanks.
Of course, the real rest will be how well the writers can differentiate
Browder's new character from his last one.
Claudia Black was also on this episode, and she was just as good as the last
time she played this character. I LOVE the interactions between Jackson and
her character.
Agreed.
Richard Dean Anderson is phasing out and will eventually be completely gone,
he's been replaced by Beau Bridges. The new doctor will be played by Lexa
Doig (Rommie from Andromeda). The IMDB listed her as on last nights episode,
but I missed her. I always liked the old doctor, Teryl Rothery. She is going
to be here in Columbus next month for a Stargate convention. <hanging my
head> Yes, I admit, I will pay the $35 for the photo-op with her.

From what I heard RDA isn't completely being phased out, but he's going
to be much more like the President in terms of on screen "special
appearances". I'm hoping that they play this really well, because as
the coordinator of Stargate operations across two galaxies it might be
more interesting to see the effects of his character's decisions without
putting him on screen.
Lexa Doig? Interesting. I didn't notice her, nor her credit on the
last episode, but shall look forward to seeing how she fits into that role.
Stargate Atlantis
I'm still undecided about last nights episode. I loved this show last year,
but after last nights episode, well, let's just hope it gets better.
You said it. I like the characters, but I've never liked the Wraith.
The more episodes I see dealing with the Wraith, the hokier I believe
these villains to be, and the more I'd prefer to be done with them. The
whole "enzyme" sub-plot, for instance, although it did have some sense
to it, didn't interest me and didn't excite me.
