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. ;-)

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.
