Stargate and (to a lesser extent Galactica) is the retirement home for scifi actors. I'm waiting for Brent Spiner to show up on Caprica as the inventor of the Cylons.

Does any one remember when Stargate was about exploration? LOL - Fargate is not bad, and I really like the fact that it also has Mr. Shanks women on it, you know the hot one from that show with that dude that played that strong duded from Greek mythology... can't think of the name of it, Armagedon or drama something...... Still its nice to see her added to the cast of fargate.

As to BSG, well Richard Hatch was in the original was he not?

I think Brent Spiner would make an excellent creater of the cylons. I would watch that.

You know if they did that with brent spiner, BSG would jump the shark.
Also, blink and you'll miss it, the miniseries had cameos for a lot of the old BSG actors and actresses. Well, for the ones not royally pissed off with Glen Larson.

I remember when stargate was about exploration. They shifted that to "Search for X/Y/Z/etc" and stuck in the rut ever since.

They need to get rid of the uber villians for a while and move on to do some serious exploration and first contact. I would definately like to see what became of a lot of those worlds from the first three seasons.

Personally, I love the Ori storyline. As to why they can't wipe out the SGC without a second thought, their 'treaty' with the Ancients prevents them from direct assaults, forcing them to use their minions instead...who are fallable and weak enough to be defeated, though not without a hell of a fight.

You know why the Ori are bad villians? Because they are like the Borg. Big, bad, and relentless. As a result, they got a lot of attention form the focus groups and test audiences and the show misunderstood that as a desisre to see more and more.

The Ori should've been handled with the rule of thumb "Less is More".

I have to say that I too like the Ori idea. Given that I came up with a version of it in my OUTS story nearly four years ago. However, I do miss the exploration aspect of SG and I hate to say it, but I also miss RDA.

AT supposedely RDA is going to be in 5 or so episodes this season, and its supposed to be more then that 2 second appearence in the begining of season 9. Also they have episode 200 coming up soon, so that should be pretty intresting "Return of Martin

". As for exploration thing missing, next week's episode seems to be an exploration thing, although it seems to be tied to looking for something to fight the Ori. In any case I am hopeful that it will be pretty good this season, considering I have read some spoilers. From what I read it seems only 3 episodes have direct Ori presence- out of the 7 there is info on.

RDA is confirmed for episode 200 and there are enough hints to suggest furlings too.
