Re:Season 8
[i]But the question remains… does Jack have what it takes to be a commander or does he best make a field operative? [/i]
He’s got what it takes, he’s just not all that big on advertising it. But his reluctance does have to do with the fact that he never really expected to take over Hammond’s job. It’s the big decisions he hates to make, too much pressure. He’d rather be fishing or hunting down Gua’old.
I lost the sci-fi channel and cable some time ago, but I just took a poor man’s vacation and purchased Season 7 and 8 on DVD (it was buy one, get the other free deal). Not a bad deal, $60 for both seasons, how could I turn it down?
I’m working on Season 8 now and so far it looks okay. Tealk just kicked some local bullies butts and the multimillionaire just lost everything after exposing the story to the public.
It was way cool the way Thor hung out with O’Neill in his office and they worked out a way to foil the guy, and Carter was cool for admitting how much she hated discreditting him and convinced O’Neill to take him into their confidence.
I kind of skipped through most of these posts after i realized I don’t want to spoil it.
Hmmm, I was in the Air Force for a brief tour and I never made it to the front. But the way the Pentagon and the MIC works, I doubt much that the Air Force top-brass, in any operation, is this close to humanity. I’m sure there are exceptions, but they usually get forced into retirement and fall into the ranks of general oversight. IMO, Stargate makes a great fictional recruting-tool for the military and the USAF, which doesn’t exactly thrill me, under present circumstances.
Great sci-fi, but don’t forget to put empasis on the [b]fiction[/b].
