As for your assessment of Avalon, Part 2. It is based purely on your own likes and dislikes of characters, not the actual execution of the storyline.
Was the cave sequence a bit "lame" (you like that word, right?)? Yes, it was. However, as the story continued to play out, it became much more believeable.
The fight sequence? Ever hear of over-compensation? That occurs when someone, who was an over achiever to start with, is sidelined by injury, or some other problem. They then over-compensate for the loss, or perceived loss, but becoming "better", at either their former occupation or hobby or a new one. Just look at Lance Armstrong. So Mitchell beating the knight is entirely believable. Perhaps if you had understood why the tptb included the flashback about his struggle and determination to walk again, after being told, he probably would NEVER walk again, would have allowed you to better understand how he defeated the knight.
General Landry is doing a great job as the commander of the SGC, but it's only been 2 episodes, so I think his "tough" stance will soften a bit. His daughter, no comment.
As for Mitchell being a "goody two shoes"? ROFL Guess some people just never grow up. He is not being "chipper" and he has seen his share of death, including his own close brush with death. Why don't you like BB, because the character of Cameron Mitchell is not who you are attacking, is it? Be honest.
And the same for Claudia Black/Vala......CB is a great actress, and in Avalon, Part 2, added depth to her character. Too bad you are judging 2 very accomplished actors, by previous roles.
