Sure. Fine. Dandy. But I'm near to quitting this show. It's getting to
look 
more and more like the original stargate.

I saw perhaps a couple of dozen eps of the original sg over the years and 
sure, there were some good ones in the bunch but on the whole it wasn't a
show 
that sustained my interest. SGA is getting to be that way. Mundane.

The old tongue-in-cheekiness is fading fast. The vaudeville touch, that
air of 
*fun*. Nah, looks more like work.

With the original sg folding they apparently merged the two into the
growing 
monster we see now. More characters don't make for a better show. More 
shoot-em-ups don't either. The flat and mundane may attract more
nerf-balls, 
inflating demos for a while but staying power is not made from wiffle.

Acting, diologue and storylines with some mystery and awe YES. 

But no. Ho-hum's the order of the day. 'Course that could change, which is
why 
I'm still hanging on by a thread. Nex
