if season 9 was the introduction of this new show, i think it fell and caused a domino effect. i feel that season 9's HUGE problems are why season 10's ratings are so low. but like we've all said, it's just an opinion.
i don't feel that rda/jack *had* to be replaced, since the sam-daniel-teal'c combo was doing just fine in seasons 7 and 8 in covering for his loss. and with 8's ratings being the highest of any season to date, i think that proves that the sam-daniel-teal'c combo COULD lead this show into victory.
i totally and completely agree that for any creative entity to survive, change must happen. i'm all for adding new characters and bringing in a new villian. what i'm *not* for is retarding the original cast to fit in these new additions. while daniel faired the best in the mix up, he still was partially shoved aside to give us the mitchell-vala show. and really, *that's* how i've seen this since season 9.
i can see that the writers are trying to fix some of these s9 errors in season 10, but i fear it's a little too late, seeing as a big chunk of fans have abandoned the show. and truth be told... as much as i want stargate sg1 to continue, i *don't* want the show that is now.
did mitchell and vala kill this show? yes and no. yes that the writing of these characters hurt it, and yes that the literal giving of the show to them hurt it, but no in that the characters themselves are not crap. it's all in the presentation.
