Beast of Burden

Enemy Mine
Since we're all explaining the reasoning behind our voting... I tend to go with my gut. Did I enjoy the episode? Was it believable? Was it well written/acted/directed? Did it make me laugh or cry? Did it hold my attention firmly, or was I doing something else while watching it? (I tend to multitask when I watch TV.) If I see it on my DVR, am I going to re-watch it or just delete it?
I try not to let myself be influenced either way by any one character or ship.
I chose my initial eight by envisioning the following scenario (please don't laugh
). My DVR contains every episode of SG-1 seasons 1-7 (if only it had a hard drive that big! 
). I'm about to leave for a vacation or a business trip. On my way out the door, I realize that my DVR is at its maximum recording capacity, there are programs it will record while I'm away, and it will delete eight SG-1 episodes at random to make room unless I choose eight eps to delete. I have a plane to catch, so I have to choose right now. Which eight do I choose?
Whenever one of the eight I voted for is eliminated, I choose a new ep using the same scenario. If none of my eight were eliminated, I keep the same votes for the next round. I don't have an ordered list, I just choose as I go.

) of it all. Also Martouf's death is deliciously brutal and realistic, and as much as I liked the character, I thought it packed a powerful emotional punch that should be credited, as the disturbing images of the soldiers killing themselves.
