[DEM]

Season 1

O'NEILL: Cold Lazarus
CARTER: Singularity
DANIEL: The Torment of Tantalus
TEAL'C: Bloodlines
HAMMOND: The Enemy Within
FRAISER: Hathor


Note to Self:

1. 'favourite ep for Character X' can be diff from 'ep I think was most important for character'. found Hammond great fun in Hathor, but Enemy Within was much more impt in terms of character info and development. on flipside, Solitudes stronger ep than Singularity, but latter had more impact in longterm. therefore, when in doubt, as long as 1 ep isn't dogmeat (Broca!), choose 'most important'.
2. still lament that Singularity wasn't stronger Fraiser ep.

Ooh Erg, this is tricky!

OK

Season 1

Jack: Cold Lazarus
Carter: As much as I really like solitudes, I have to go for Singularity, she shows so much emotion.
Teal'c: Children Of The Gods, Part II THE defining moment in his life, when he finally renounces his God.
Daniel: Torment Of Tantelus TBFTGOG ran it close. But for the character, finding the secrets of life and having to give it up was very important.
Fraiser: The Broca Divide If she wasn't good in this one (her first, and she was central to the story), she may never have been back.
Hammond: hmm... Tricky There But For The Grace Of God.

Wurlitzer - Sorry about Walter not being included but I just felt that would mean having to include other recurring characters and I thought that these six would be the main ones to stick to.

mckaychick - In the Line of Duty is in season 2

I find this really hard, cos I'm always more interested in the team than individual characters (although seeing charcter development is always good too)
