Season 10 Stargate

[ankh]

Right now it feels like I'm the only person in fandom who is looking forward to season 10, who doesn't think Daniel is going to be wallpapered so Vala or Mitchell or Sam/Jack Ship or some other Dire Threat can take over the show. I liked season 9. I thought it had about the same number of meh! episodes as any other season. I loved Vala, I loved Daniel and didn't think he was anyone's sidekick but was in fact carrying pretty much most of the show and at least half the 'meat' of the season. I enjoyed Sam again, thought Teal'c had more to do than he's had in years and found Mitchell inconsistent but no more annoying than Jack has frequently been and no more the Heroic Lead than Daniel. In fact, I thought Daniel totally owned season 9 with the exception of a few episodes when it felt like SCIFI Channel coughed in the ears of the Bridge Boys and reminded them that, actually, Mitchell should have something to do because he's the shiny new SG-1 leader.

So anyway. That's me, looking forward to season 10, spoilers and sides be damned.

I had to stop reading at OS because something there kept kicking my browser off line, and I'm actually feeling much happier about it. I enjoyed the forum, and I liked hearing the spoilers and speculation, but yeah, so negative.

I liked Season 9, for the most part, although I haven't felt the same need to rewatch as I used to. And I do feel that the writers were a little inconsistent with Browder's character, but it's early days yet. I really like the Daniel-and-Vala show, I think he sparks well off her and certainly wasn't overwhelmed by her; I've enjoyed the behind-the-scenes glimpses of their partnership this year. I think the team got a lot of play together, and it can only be better now that they've all had a chance to gel.

So you're not alone.

If the negativity was limited to OS I wouldn't mind so much, as I could wonder over to Happy Places for a fix. ;-) I don't mind negative comments, I've been there myself so I know it's good to vent and those posters absolutely have that right to post. It's just unfortunate that those being negative are, apparently, posting 24/7 all over the place and saying the same thing over and over again, even in threads it simply doesn't belong - and that goes for season 9, Sam, S/J ship, Mitchell, Jack, "Fargate", you name it. I guess I could become the Positive Posting equivalent of Speedy Gonzales... :-D

Absolutely agree on your comments about season 9. I'm all for more Daniel & Vala, best chemistry since early Jack and Daniel. The behind the scenes stuff turns me to mush, they seem to be having so much for, and I do feel that showed on-screen via the characters.
