S10: nostalgia, new viewers & the progression of SG1

[Oranos]

I can't believe "200" is this Friday. It seems kinda surreal. It's so flipping cool. Of course, it will be great to see RDA again. In my book, he's welcome to come back for multiple episodes if he so chooses.

I feel like a little kid. This week should be interesting...

I am a bit concerned about any kind of negative consequence of having RDA return, even for two eps. The new cast has been working hard at being accepted and I feel RDA's return, as fun as it may be, might hurt the new cast. I know a lot of fans of the show want to see RDA return, but it might cause some negative backlash for the new guys.

You mean...it might make them look bad right?

Well, I think it might interrupt the acceptance or the *flow* of the new cast and the way that story is going.

I gotta agree with ya, but my hope is that people will realize it's a special occasion, sorta like a weekend visit with an old friend, and the next day we'll go back to the normal sg-1

EXACTLY!!! That's how I'm viewing it. I'm pretty excited, too.
Actually, I think Jack on Atlantis will be REALLY cool.
*plugs ears so no one spoils the Atlantis ep for her*

I can hope, but from some of what I have seen so far, here and on other boards, people are wanting RDA to come back permanently and for Ben and Claudia to never have been a part of the show.

Unfortunately, that's pretty much all I've seen on Slashdot and such.

And Ben and Claudia are why I am watching now. Hubby watched the show, but when Ben was signed is when I started to watch. Have I told that story yet??
LOLOL

I'm not too concerned about that at all. A couple appearances by RDA won't mess things up for the new team. Plus, it might draw back some viewers who stopped watching after RDA's departure. That would mean ratings would increase, which you have to admit we do need right now.

Like it or not, RDA and the character of O'Neill have been a major part of what is Stargate SG-1. As a long-time fan, I'm glad he'll come back now and then. That said though, I also love the chemistry they have going now with the new SG-1 team.

Couldn't have said it better myself! You hit it on the head
again! I wonder how O'Neill will react to Vala? That is bound to
bring on a couple of laughs.

I agree. RDA is still a part of SG-1. I am very happy to see him back. I am very pleased with the new team and I don't think his return will mess with that. It will be so intersting to see how he and the new team get along. A few Danny jokes would be nice too!

Cant wait for 200 and RDA
