Personally, through no fault of his he's a great actor, I think the script writers tried to make Ben Browders character as another O'Neill clone.

All I can say is no comment until I see series 9 (I'm a brit with only terrestrial so onlyseries 8)
But I have a frient sho says that she has seen series 9 of SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis and she thinks that SG-1 has gone downhill and that Atlantis holds the promise
I kinda agree as I'm a real big fan of atlantis, I think that Mkay is great in Atlantis (though my friend prefers Dr Becket, plus she has met the actor who plays him)
Avalon was pretty cool and the new enemy, the ultra-psychotic religious fanatics known as the Ori, are an interesting study of the very worst case of mind-numbing religious mass-psychosis I've seen for some time.
I've only seen the first 8 episodes and i have to say, after Avalon, the very best next episode was "Ex Deus Machina". I really enjoy the complex episodes with all the surprises, and the appearance of "Ba'al" on Earth, playing a powerful corporate businessman, was very cool.
He learned the game so well and so quickly, one would think he was the fore-father of corporate capitalism.
Lucky for me, Series 9 is being shown on Sky1, every day! (I'm in Stargate heaven)
Unluckily, they're showing series3 of Atlantis tommorow, I got cable AFTER they finished their run of series 2 and they haven't shown it again (I'll have to skip a season :( )

I just purchased season 9 and I'm lovin it.
