Originally posted by jckfan55 View PostYou also have to wonder how much sense of collaboration was going on here. The actors have brought the characters from the written page to life. (Something I don't think RCC always recognizes). I can't believe CJ and AT were entirely happy with the wallpapering of their characters. And not just from a "give me screen time" perspective. Would Sam really stand around and not jump in to solve a scientific problem? Would she accept without question or comment being robbed of command? Would she and Teal'c say nothing about Daniel's personality change?
Would Teal'c be satisfied to be treated as nothing more than muscle in the "new" SGC? Do you think Teal'c would really "follow" Mitchell? He respected O'Neill and Carter. there's no evidence of him respecting or trusting Mitchell. And no Mitchell proving himself to Teal'c.
I could go on...

^^^ Kinda sounds like seasons 9 and 10 of SG-1 to me. Thor, ya got Aspirin?
AGateFan has officially Gone Fishin (with Jack, Sam, Daniel, Teal'c) and is hoping Atlantis does not take that same hairpin turn.

I agree with Zozer, the way Pete was written, it just made Sam look desperate.Odo's last wishes: cremate me, put me in my bucket, then shoot me through the wormhole.

i like that pete was outside. I like that he could have brougth up the complexities of working on a secret project. such as going to work under a mountian in january and coming home with a tan, or explaining how you got shot working on deep space telemetry. or having a male have to accept that his partner, a female, is 'cooler' than he is. (which can be very much a sticking point..remember charles and diana? it was hard on him to deal with teh fact that his 'little woman' was more popular than he'd ever be, and much moer in demand)
pete COULD have been all that. But he fell in the plot hole of needing to be at the stakeout and then never crawled out of it. he was never more than sam's plot device.

yes, pete was very fanboi
It was like the writers impressed themselves onto pete and, dude, who wouldn't like having the pretty girl forgive them for being a putz with a kiss on the head??
they kinda forgot that sam jsut isnt' like that. Just as pete's little stakeout rendevous did a disservice to him, sam NOT giving him heck did a disservice to her
