I did not see any of the Monday night line up I was to busy with work and shows. But "Solitudes" was the first episode of SG-1 I ever saw. I had torn my achellies (sp?) tendon durring a performance on stage and was laying awake late after getting back to the hotel from the hospital. We had a performance the next day in another city so no hospital stay just a caste some pain killers and an appoinment to see a Dr. durring tour break a couple of weeks later. Anyway so I had a room to myself for the night and could not sleep so I'm channel surfing when I happened up Showtime playing SG-1. I saw the stargate when I flipped to the channel and having seen the movie my first thought was cool Stargate I can watch this movie again. It only took me a minute to realise it was not the movie but when I saw RDA I thought what is he doing on Stargate? I only saw a little over half the episode but it made me want to watch more and I wanted to know who was this actress playing Sam Carter and why I have I not seen her in any thing before. I started watching SG-1 during the break in that tour and started purchasing the DVD's from Europe since they were not available yet in R1 so I could see all the episodes from the beginning. It became a show that I hooked several of the people I was traveling with onto and we would look for it when we had time off.
Solitudes today remains one of my all-time favorite SG-1 episodes. Even though the team was not all together in the episode I still look at it as a strong team episode because of how much they cared about each other in the episode. That is one of the big things missing in S9. Everyone on the team does not have to be on screen the whole time or even equal time. I just want to think they care about each other and act like they are a team. Even though Sam is my favorite character and I love AT's acting Staragte for me is a team show and I want to see that spirit back in S10.
