Though I haven't been wowed by the current season of SG-1, I have nonetheless been following the story. Baal, at the least, makes it worth tuning in, even if some aspects of the show are weak. Unfortunately, one of those weaknesses is the actor playing the Orici, Morena Baccarin. Flat & boring, she was my one significant complaint with Firefly [on which she played Inara]. Of course, a little bad acting doesn't diminish the enjoyment of watching my favourite SG team do their thing.
Well, the first of the final ten episodes aired tonight and it was alright. Baccarin was not good, but the team did discover Merlin and that was cool. Although Baal was killed, there's no reason to think he won't be back in some incarnation - I think there are still a half dozen or more of his clones out there. Daniel Jackson has been taken by the Orici, and things don't look very good for him. I'm counting on a dangerous & dramatic rescue by the rest of the team next week.
Before tonight's episode, the scifi channel showed a special called "Behind the Mythology of Stargate." It would have been nice if it had actually discussed much mythology, but mostly it consisted of clips from past eps to illustrate that some of the elements of Stargate came from human mythology, which we know because they told us they did. Not very enlightening.
