Now, I appreciate that everyone has an opinion, and, that as I live in the UK and haven't seen the new episodes yet, I am in no position to comment on the quality of them, but, I was reading the comments in Joe's latest blog, and was shocked by some of the criticism flying his way.
Frankly, to call someones creation "drivel" (to take one anonymous posters example) I found to be quite rude, and unconstructive. If you wish to post suggestions to how you feel the show could be better, I don't see why it can't be done politely, and with less hostility.
It seems that some fans wish to portray TPTB of this show in the same light as Bermaga of Startrek fame - and are slating a man who seems to be working his socks off to take a show in a new direction, after the unfortunate loss of its leading actor. He then also finds time to post a blog, and posts on the forum for the fans benefit - only for a small number of them to slap him back in the face, because they have more access to the executive producer than you'd find on most shows.
Up and until now, I had found Gateworld to be a fairly happy and relaxed place to be, but that seems to be changing.
IMO, we should be appreciating what we are being provided with by TPTB, because even if it has slightly lower in quality, I am sure that its a darn site better than the rest of the [insert expletive] we are being fed with on telly at the moment.
PS - oh - and i'm not an ex-farscaper crawling backto SG1 because of BB or CB
