SG-1 10.12: Line in the Sand  
This is more of an insta-reaction than a thoughtful response

Watching the warriors massacre crouching villagers was particularly painful given the events of this week. I was surprised by the severity of the gut-punch that delivered. I mean, I know that nobody died and it was just flashes from off screen but I was quite the strength of my reaction was unexpected. I wish we'd seen this back when the Brits did rather than now. :(

Stupid premise -- how in the world did they think that the Ori wouldn't notice the missing village? So, assuming I can get past that idiocy, I think the episode was reasonably good. I was glad for once to see a grievously injured character actually suffer. I know that sounds weird but I'm tired of seeing the equivalent of the Monty Python Flesh Wound still fighting. It gave Amanda a cool part to play and it gave us a lot of really nice character beats between Sam and Cam.

I just hope Sam doesn't fall for Cam because he's Teal'c's man and I'd hate to see her lose the colonel again like she did Jack to Daniel. ;-)

*blink* They said that?

I don't think they pay poor Amanda NEARLY enough to do that job!

As someone else said, apparently TPTB can't tell the difference between the character and the actor any more.

And they complain about FANS not having a solid grasp on reality.

Loathe as I am to give the writers any credit, if they referred to her as Amanda in a preview, that's a SciFi screw up.

Which seems even weirder to me. Carter consistently rates fairly low in terms of being a fan favorite. I really don't give Atlantis much hope for a fifth season if they're betting the franchise on her.
