I disagree with your assessment of both the final two seasons of SG-1 (surely season 1 and 6 were worse), and of Stargate Atlantis... and even Universe I guess.

I disagree with your assessment of both the final two seasons of SG-1 (surely season 1 and 6 were worse), and of Stargate Atlantis... and even Universe I guess. I think one of the best Teal'c moments is in those last two season, and that Ben Browder did a pretty good job replacing RDA all things considered. Plus, "200" is in there so come on. Atlantis was a very different show in a lot of ways, more Star-Trek-y than SG-1 but it worked, and Picardo got to be part of the main cast for a season which was pretty great. Universe had maybe 3 good episodes in its entire run and suffered terribly from what I call "Lost Syndrom"[0]. It started to come together at the end, there's even a point where some competent writer comes in and hand-waves away some of the stupider plot ideas as "it was all a dream", but overall it was pretty disastrous I think. [0] The writers pretend there is some master plan that will make all the mysterious dangling plot threads come together eventually but really they're just making up crazy bullshit as they go.
