Sorry to see The First Ones go so early, too. I know the Unas' eps rub a lot of people the wrong way, but for me the first two eps with them were fascinating because they showcased a very non-human-looking and non-human-acting being...and because of the wonderful makeup and the fine characterization by Dion Johnstone as Chaka. Enemy Mine you can keep, though. IMO no one should give PDL the opportunity to invent more words in a new language EVER AGAIN.
Agree, agree, agree (again) with Katerine's description of Robot Jack. For me, Entity equals this with Robot Sam (no pun intended). I just don't think that the complete stoicism that AT used to create her 'possessed' self worked very well.

Another one from my sorry-to-see-it-go files: I also really liked The First Ones because it was a lesson in Daniel 101. What makes Danny tick? Being put into a situation where his innate talents as an archaeologist/linguist/anthropologist are stimulated! Despite all the knocks and bruises he endured, he looked like a kid on Christmas morning, having found someone from an unknown culture speaking an unknown language! This is one of my favorite Daniel episodes......

6. A Matter of Time

8. Singularity
And thanks for the nod Katerine and everyone who unexpectedly gave me green thingies (I know they have a name, but I don't remember what it is, heh--102 posts and I'm still such a newbie. )

I have mixed feelings about The First Ones being voted off. It was never in my top 40 or anything but there were things I really liked about it. Daniel using his "Danielness" to make an unexpected connection, some funny lines, Dion Johnstone's wonderful performance. On the other hand I really thought the Unas became annoying in later episodes - especially one of my very least favorite episodes Enemy Mine and that kind of served to devalue my opinion of The First Ones. The "Unas" effect. Maybe I'll have to watch it again sometime and see if I've gotten enough distance from Enemy Mine to enjoy First Ones again.

Out of top 6 least fave eps of Round 48, I'm surprise that The First Ones got the most vote.. IMO that's the best out of those six. I know a lot of fans don't like Unas story-line, but for me those Chaka stories are interesting, they don't really speak English which in my book is more logical since they live in other planets and they showed the Peace-Explorer-From-Planet-Earth side of SG-1 (especially Daniel).
