I don't know about you guys but it seems the latest scripts in S4 are kind of repetitive. So another of Danny's girls gets infested by a Goaul'd. And Carter is "possessed" by another entity. Some of them are just variations of old episodes.
Or they resort to killing characters, both good and bad. Everybody but the main characters seems to be dying. Martouf (not counting Jacob) was the BEST tokr'a. I was very disappointed that they killed Chronus. He was an different villian, much more atractive than any other Goaul'd, evil certainly but not a charicature.
I don't like Apophis at all, seems kind of effete. And the fact that he dies/loses and yet keeps coming back and coming back is getting kind of ridiculous. Her'u (don't know the correct spelling) seemed better and they hardly used him.
Some fans stories out there are more original and different and interesting. Maybe the writers of the show should contact some fan fic writers (wishful thinking, of course. I mentioned before The Wine of Dyonisious. And there are several versions where one or all the characters become little children. I would love an episode where all of SG1 become children (say, falling into a Ponce de Leon fountain of youth, etc. all at the same age and they bicker and fight and everything kids do).
Attica by Natty is also very good. And I don't remember the name of the story or of the writer of a very good fan fic. As I remember it, SG1 steps from the Stargate and they are immediately attacked by a much less advanced people but can't defend themselves, apparently there is a force field or something around the gate. All are captured except Daniel who is knocked unconscious and left for dead. Hours later he recovers and goes in search of his team mates,who are held captive by the bad guys. He approaches their village and sees them tied to some poles or something. Daniel goes to a nearby deserted temple and finds some robes and a mask and jewelry. Deciphers more or less the writings on the walls and downs those trappings. Approaches the village shouting in several languages demanding that the villagers free SG1. They apparently think he is their God that came back and free SG1. Jack stares in wonder at Daniel, relieved that he is alive, worried about the state Daniel is in (D is swaying) amazed at what D is saying (bow before me, etc.) The result is great, the villagers free SG1 and they are able to leave (as SG1 leaves the villagers throw food at them, etc., even some water jug).
It's a great story because Daniel is able to rescue SG1 without harming these people, just by using his intelligence and skills. "You never ceased to amaze me wity your talents", remember?
Well, I hope you guys get my meaning, what I am tyring to say is that lately the scripts haven't been very original or very good.
