SG-1 Season 7 commentary

I've been watching plenty of Stargate Season 7, but no writing whatsoever.
I bought the latest issue of StarLog, and it had a large article about the SG finale. For the past five years or so, they've all been ready to pack their bags on a moments notice, and it finally came. It's so hard for a cable show to get good ratings these days. Any show really. A lot of people have DVR, and they don't want to watch the commercials. I've been spoiled because I've seen all the other seasons on DVD, so I can just crunch them out in no time.

I'm loving season 7! Samantha has a relationship, Daniel is back, Teal'c has a sense of humor, and O'Neill's humor is sexy as he refers to "playing one on TV." There are these wonderful quips everywhere about how they are all just playing a game. In the episode where Sam gets a boyfriend, she's humming the theme song in the elevator! I love it.

The episodes "Heroes" are good because of their humanizing soldiers and making the front lines real. Saul Rubenick is great as the filmmaker who sticks his nose where it's not welcome, and the whole performance by everyone was great.

Looking forward to Seasons 8-10,
