Hindsight is 20/20 and I wonder if TPTB could go back and change anything about
I had a long talk with a writer friend of mine (who, ironically, wrote an episode of Stargate: Infinity ) today. The money people (aka the studio/producers) have more of a say in the decision making and if you get notes that instruct you to hire a leading man who could replace RDA, you do it. Even nowadays (though this is changing slowly - Sanctuary gives me hope though I haven't seen it. I don't know how she's billed in the credits) a woman isn't given top billing on a sci-fi show.
There was SO much they could have done with Sam leading SG-1. She needs some flaws. She needs to make mistakes. They could have explored that option and it would have created some great tension.
