*(unless you are really unpopular...then someone's finger slipped!)I don't mean to sound like a nerdy fan who talks about science-fiction like it is real, but the problem with 'clever' storylines is that they make the audience start to think, and if you put in bad science, they are more likely to notice it. It breaks the suspension of disbelief

They needed to bring back the idea that important people can die. Bringing back Daniel made it seem like nothing bad could happen and sucked the sense of real danger to the characters out of the plots. When a character as well loved as Janet can die, it raised the stakes for all the characters.

Originally posted by hedwig View PostThe producers thought the series would be ending with Season 7, and they wanted to have an episode with a lot of drama, and figured killing off one of the more or less main (though secondary), but very popular characters would be a good way to finish the series. Having done that, they then found out the series was being picked up for another season. I was very sad, since she was one of my favorite characters.
Mind you I cried when Daniel ascended also, and when Jacob died,
nowadays I'm crying at how much I don't like SGU.
I miss SG1 so very very much, thank goodness for my dvdsGeneral Jack O'Neill, still HOTTer than ever!
