Well, the numbers have been pretty good. Taken from Gateworld:
For the first half of Season Eight, SG-1 averaged a 2.0 rating -- the series' best performance in its three-year history on SCI FI, and the highest average number of viewers in the show's history. At the mid-Season Seven break one year ago, the show was averaging less than a 1.7.
Sadly, those are better than the regular numbers Farscape was getting.
The renewal makes me happy. Wonder if RDA will stay. Unsurprised that Atlantis is renewed. Kind of surprised about SG-1, just because I figured they'd all feel done by now.
Word, Jen. Especially since 3 of the 4 core cast members have or will have children under the age of 3 in the house when they start shooting again.
I think they've done a much better job this season with the less Jack than before. Partly because of the promotion -- now it makes more sense.
I do sorely miss him on missions, but he's cute behind a desk too.
I actually saw an episode of SG-1 that I'd never seen before tonight. It was one that took place in Antarctica with a frozen girl who gave everyone a virus and then healed them. When they were first thawing her I thought she was Evangeline from Lost.
That episode is imaginatively called "Frozen", an episode that's pretty gosh-darn awful on its own, but has some redeeming value as it 1) sets up one of the better episodes of S6, "Abyss", and 2) later fanwanked to have a connection with SG: Atlantis.
When they were first thawing her I thought she was Evangeline from Lost.
That's because Evangeline Lilly looks like every single slim, brunette, long-haired actress aged 22-35. It's friggin' uncanny.
It sets up Abyss? What am I forgetting? (Apart from the whole episode, in self-defense)
Jack gets sick in Frozen. Aiyana dies before she can heal him. The Tok'ra offer to put a symbiote in Jack temporarily to save his life. Jack says no. Sam does doe eyes. Jack says yes. Kanan's put in Jack and drags him off to save Shallan from Ba'al, and ta-da, we get to put Jack and Daniel in a small room without props for 42 minutes. Well, okay, probably fifteen. Still, good times.
I forgot that was where he got the symbiote -- thanks.
