[Atrocities]

While the show may have lost its hard core ruggedness and its on the edge film quality appeal, replaced by hi-definition video, shorter episodes, and a sense of "where the hell are we going with this" feel, overall the show is still good and I like it.

Albeit I am not a huge fan of the current story arch, the Ori, I think its better than the alternative, cloned Baals and renagade Jaffa. Lets face it, they Trek'ed themselves in that they created technology that now takes the thrill of living on the edge away from the game. Sure its cool that Earth has space ships now, but lets face it, they lost focus of the fundamental goal of the show, the stargate. Now the show seems more like fargate and while that is not all bad, more good than bad anyways, I do miss RDA and the harder more original feel that he brought to the show. While Ben is a good actor, he is no RDA.

Sci-Fi should be bankrupted for playing games with MGM. I miss my old SG1, replaced by SG Command, and while I will continue to watch, because it is great sci-fi, I cannot help but feel that by having the show on sci-fi, too many compermises were made and it shows.
