1. There was to be an all women team.

4. Photos of the actresses that arguably did not depict them looking like military “
Answers: 1. Rather than create a recurring character and hope for the best, I opted to go the Summit route. In SG-1’s Summit, I introduced about a half dozen system lords and used the episode as an audition of sorts to find out which of the characters would pop - and have potential to come back. Cliff Simon’s turn as Baal was great and, based on his performance in Summit, we brought him back. Many, many times. This was the thinking with the all-female team. Rather than put all our eggs into one basket, we created a scenario in which one or more of these characters (well, the ones who happen to survive the episode anyway) could return. 2. Is the natural assumption then that these women will be running around screaming, in various states of undress, being pursued by a knife-wielding maniac? 3. Hey, that goes for almost any guest star. 4. But they’re actresses, not actual soldiers. The links I provided lead to the actress’s personal websites so, of course, they’re going to look their very best.

Very Clever, Indeed.
Yeah I just read that when I saw PG15 doing his usual updates
I agree it is very clever, I know if a character is liked enough they sometimes get brought back where it's possible (from examples in other sci-fi shows) ...this is a fantastic way of moving the show forward in terms of new recurring faces

I just hope they don't kill off the one I really like.
