This show suddenly got more interesting. Claudia and Ben was an awesome move! I loved Ben's character in Farscape, and Claudia is even more beautiful now than ever. I love her in this role of Vala! And the writing involving those two is just fantastic. - Sorta spoiler -

Select to view spoiler:

The way they set up this love triangle between Ben, Claudia and Michael( LtCol Mitchell, Vala and Dr Jackson ) is a riot!

Vala to Mitchell - "Try playing hard to get "

...The writers must be having a field day in slipping in references from Ben and Claudia's Farscape days. Awesome!

Anyway, I enjoyed the whole line up. SG-1,SG-Atlantis and BSG. And NEXT Friday...whoah! Can't wait!!!

I loved her comment about Earth's "interesting, if somewhat limited gene pool". Daniel and Cameron's reactions were great.

I thought that the 'triangle' (mentioned in spoiler) was a little like Anya wanting to hook up w/the two Xanders....
I was thinking that Dr.Jackson & LtCol Mitchell look like twin brothers...and then Claudia/Vala makes the crack about the "limited gene pool on Earth" LOL
like DTuck I thought that was the funniest line on the show.

Claudia Black is great a comedy, I wish she was going to be a regular on SG-1

I am so excited to have Ben on Stargate, and to have him and Claudia onscreen together again is enough to put me into raptures. (I'm easily amused, as you can tell.)

I'm really enjoying Claudia getting a chance to play with the comedic aspect of her character. Although I seem to be the only person on the planet who doesn't think Ben and Michael Shanks look alike.

Someone said that there was a rumor Anthony Simcoe and Wayne Pygram were going to have guest shots on Stargate too. Anybody heard something more substantial about that?

I loved the episode as well. It took me a while to get into it though. When it started off listing all the cast, and there was no mention of Richard Dean Anderson, I wasn't too happy. I really think the show is going to be lacking without O'Neill. I just hope he makes semi-regular guest appearances.

And while I like Ben's character, it's definitely going to take me a while to get used to him. I guess I'm just so used to the old team, that seeing this new guy leading SG-1 is just.....weird. I think it'll get a little easier to accept as the season goes on.

I also absolutely LOVED Claudia Black's character. I thought she was really good in the episode where she was introduced last season, and it was great to see her come back. The scene between her and Daniel are some of the funniest I've seen on the show. Too bad she's not going to be a regular, but at least she'll be guest starring a few more times.

All in all, a good start to the "new" SG-1. This season should be pretty interesting.

Yeah, watching Farscape would help, considerably. In more ways than one. I just dig Ben's Crichton character in Farscape. On par w/ that of Mal.

And I too didn't see the similarity w/ Ben and Michael. Sure, roughly the same height, but they had to work on Michael's hair a bit to style it like Ben's...must be a chick thing. Glad I don't see it.

about the resemblance between shanks, and browder, I never saw it untill the recent TVguide cover with Ben & Amanda Tapping. looked at it in passing, and had to do a double take to realise it WASN'T Michael Shanks. so to me any how, it's not a twin resembalnce, but close enough to be cousins maybe, what i would call double take resemblance.

... and i LOVED how they had Claudia wink at Ben when she told Daniel she was pregnant.

and it is gonna take a while for me to get used to Michael with a beard,,, after 8 years it's just...weird....

and OH!! and anyone else like how they seem to be making col. Mitchell a blend of Chrighton and O'neill. are they doing that, or am i just crazy????

one last thing, a comment on Atlantis - now i realise that this wouldn't make for interesting television, but if the ancients came to pegasus in the city, with just the city, shouldn;t there be a facility some where in the city to manufacture ZPM's? not to mention Gates, DHD's, those nifty weapons satellites, etc.. But then we would lose the fun "planet of the week searching for zpm" adventures....

...May have been the losing side, Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

So far as I'm concerned, Ben Browder could do anything, anytime, anywhere. The man's brilliant. If we must lose my fellow Minnesotan, "Rick" Anderson (as Jay Acovone kept calling him when he was here in 1997), from the cast, they picked a true winner. Ben has the chops to take SG-1 on for another 9 seasons.

Oh, good lord, yes - Claudia's wink at Ben was priceless! They seem to be having a grand time - it's hard for a FarScape veteran such as myself to separate their current characters from John and Aeryn, but I'm more than willing to try.

I think Daniel ditches the beard after awhile. There was footage in the "making of" before SG-1 that shows him with out. So no worries.

As for Mitchell being a Crighton/O'Neill hybrid, consider that Shepherd, on Atlantis, is also a lot like O'Neill, although better at following orders... sort of. The writers tend to lean toward leaders who take their work seriously, but take themselves completely with a grain of salt.

Mitchell to Teal'C: So far, it's just "SG-Me."

Looks like Ben's getting all the good lines again.

As for the ZPM assembly, I'm thinking it would have to be a bit more intricate than rolling them out on an assembly line, or they would have come up with that by now. Also, if the ZPMs were easy to make, it would eliminate the plot motivation of the team having to go out and find them. Shepherd, Tayla, and Ford would have spent first season playing "go fish" or maybe teaching Tayla Texas Hold 'em while McKay supervised the manufacturing of new ZPMs. Not the best story device to build a series around, yeah?

Then again, Atlantis is a big city. They seem to be discovering new bits of it all the time.
