So sci-fi pressured them into killing someone off.....never knew that. I think it was the right decision, killing Janet, and I'm glad they did it (waits for the uproar). It added a very realistic feel to the show and their situation, Hereos was an outstanding episode, and it was about time for a character that we cared about and had that much of an emotional investment in, to die. Should sci-fi be pressuring the producers over the content of the episodes/progression of the storyline that much? No. But on this one, they didn't drop the ball, they did the right thing both financially and artistically. Perhaps that's why I wasn't as fond of Ripple Effect, I thought Janet's story was done, and she didn't need to come back. That return hindered her story, not to mention ended up being just a tool for spreading a buch of silly ship nonsense about Sam.

Isaac Asimov once said individual science fiction stories may seem as trivial as ever to the blinder critics and philosophers of today, but the core of science fiction, its essence has become crucial to our salvation if we are to be saved at all.

Originally posted by MB.EddieI agree. This is one of the reasons Heroes is my equal favourite ep. It is so real, and it reinforces the relationships and bonds with those at the SGC.
As for Doc Lam, I sure hope we see her sooner than episode 17. I'm personally hoping for sometime soon after the break.sigpic

Originally posted by DescentAnyone else think that the Six Month break might be just what the show needs? A chance for people to catch up and come back for the mid-season premieres? As evidenced last year, more people come back for the last half of a season it seems.
Running new shows through February is a recent SciFi Channel thing. Once upon a time, they avoided it.
I don't think waiting to March is bad.

Yeah, "Ripple Effect" was an interesting "me
talking to me" kind of episode.
This season appears to be darker than season 9,
mostly due to:
Spoiler:- The fall of Chu'lak. "Flesh and Blood"
- Dark, spooky settings "Morpheus"
- The fact that the ancients aren't going to help us
"The Pegasus Project"
- A terrifying creature that brutally kills people "Uninvited".
- The destruction of Dakarra "Counter Strike"
- The introduction of a new Goa'uld "Memento Mori".
Anyone care to add to this list?
I hope that SG-1 finds a way to fight back against the Ori soon,
because I've always wanted to get back at the Ori ever since
"Camelot".
Anyone here looking forward to tonight's "Company of Thieves"?sigpic

Has anyone else visted the RDanderson site and read he said he is willing to appear in quite a few season 11 episodes, that was before we heard that there wouldn't an 11th season. And the save SG-1 site is putting a few ads in Variety hoping to bring in more interest. The Conan O'Brien show had to bring interest also.
