Daniel led SG-1?

[hsapiens]

My SG-1 Season 10 DVDs just arrived!!! Has anyone else read the back blurbage? It says:

"And now, in Season 10, the team, led by Daniel Jackson (Michael Shanks), embarks on their ultimate adventure."

I know that some people think Michael Shanks and Ben Browder look a lot alike but that's odd. And the cover stars Sam's breasts. Sometimes it's good to be reminded why it was time to call it quits on the show. :|

I occassionally read J Mallozzi's blog (I know, I know) and he's always said that MGM are the ones responsible for the dvd stuff, so I dunno, maybe it was all beyond their control. :/

The more I look at the cover, the more I wish they'd picked a different picture for Sam. I love the character of Sam, but I hate that they made her lead with her chest. She's a much more kickass character than that. *sigh*

You're a braver person than I. It makes sense that MGM would be responsible for the DVD art and blurbage. And I can even see how, given the vast Sony catalog that it's just not possible to review everything as well as they'd like. But SG-1 is their #1 syndicated earner and this was the historic and final 10th season...seems to me they could have found someone, somewhere within the company who'd watched Season 10. It wasn't THAT bad! ;)

Exactly! Sam is posed in a way that says, "I'm all about these giant boobs!" It undermines what I love about her and what I think makes her so wonderful. And it emphasizes what I hate about what they did to her at times. Thinking that some troglodyte who'd never seen the show Photoshopped together a bunch of promo photos and used the standard, "Oh, the woman is on the show because she's sexually attractive" viewpoint. That's why I hate it so much -- 'cause Sam *is* kickass.
