I just hate reading his blog trying to find gems of information among his arrogance and condescension. Sometimes he seems to get kinda rude with his "mailbag" questions. I don't see why he bothers if he's not going to answer the question or reply with something to make the questioner look stupid. It makes me uncomfortable.
Honestly, I haven't watched all the first eight seasons of SG-1. I've seen every episode from season 7-10 and most of season one and four. But I don't watch the earlier seaons very often now. I know that it's like the most unpopular fannish opinion ever, but I don't think I like Jack/RDA very much.
Part of it is what I described above, as far as seasons went, on the the whole the didn't grab me and demand that I watch them all in a row. I think you pegged the nail on the head with what you had to say about the character/actors, especially Michael/Daniel.
Stargate is definitely a "take it how it is" show, and it does many things right just like you said. It's just that, to paraphrase from another amazing sci-fi show which had everything probably including the kitchen sink - it could be more. I'm not trying to compare it with Farscape, but sometimes I wish I could. : )
Ugh, I was trying to write this while my kid was talking to me.
You did way better than I would have when my kidlet brother or grandma is talking to me. I invariably end up saying something about JFlan's hair to them and typing that I need to go get milk. : )
