So I got back from holiday, unpacked the cases, and rewound the tape I had in to record SG-1 and sit down and watch.

Now I'm willing to accept, that you occasionally need the death of an important character or race in a Sci-Fi series, to keep things interesting; but can they at least go out with a bit of dignity; for example, Shepherd Book's death has significance to it, but the destruction of the Asgard seemed more along the lines of "Well here's the cool Deus Ex Machina stuff, we'll just go and blow ourselves up now".

And for what did they blow themselves up, huh? So that we could see Mitchell jogging a lot, and getting cabin fever? to see Daniel and Vala finally get it on? To see Teal'c go a bit grey? To see Carter learn the Cello, the Cello for crying out loud!? In the words of Stewie Griffin "What the Hell man!"
