Stargate - Season 4

Just started season 4.  I forgot that's when the Replicators showed up.  Never liked them, too bug-like, too hard to defeat, and that whole brain-stabbing thing was too creepy.  Better them than the Ori,  though.  I still kind of think the Ori were a bad idea for an ongoing villain, since they weren't really defeatable (as I recall).  But then, as much as I liked Mitchell & Vala, Stargate just wasn't the same after RDA cut down his time on the show.

Oh, yay, it's also the Teal'c-chin-worm season.  Did they ever explain the skinny blond soul patch?

Small Victories:
- The Asgard can start the Gate without the Whoosh.  Interesting
- Meet Teal'c's chin worm
- Yah sure youbetcha
- "Someone dumber than you"
- Carter may not be dumb enough :)
- The Asgard ship named The O'Neill

Upgrades
- aka Stargate x Six Million Dollar Man

Crossroads
- Oh, look!!  It's Methos! And then he goes all evil.
- How do the Jaffa do the gold tattoo/brand thing?  Because Teal'c's looks like metal, and that just makes me cringe, thinking how the Goa'uld would go about the process of metal brands/body modification.
- Freya may be one of my favorite Tok'ra.  And Jacob, of course.
- Apprentice O'Neill  - LOL
- Finally, a love interest for Teal'c. Not that she lasted long, in time-honored don't-date-the-hero fashion.  Seriously - watch Bonanza, or Big Valley, or Gunsmoke:  any time one of the Cartwrights or Barkleys started fancying a girl, her days were numbered.  Gunsmoke did marry off Newly, but the bride was a goner before the end of the episode, thanks to a blood disease.

Divide & Conquer
- Au revoir, Martouf, my other favorite Tok'ra.  JR Bourne shows up regularly on other Canadian-filmed shows, and I almost always have to make some comment about 'Toufie.
