Impressed thus far with Stargate SG-1

As mentioned previously, I’m in the midst of watching the first season of Stargate SG-1. Thus far, I’m quite impressed.

A few days ago while exercising on my elliptical, I watched episode six, Cold Lazarus. It was the second episode in which at least one of the characters had to act rather differently than they do normally. In Cold Lazarus, a crystal-like creature duplicates O’Neill.

I was really impressed how well Richard Dean Anderson pulled off this duplicate creature’s character. While it was obviously still Richard Dean Anderson, it didn’t really look like O’Neill at all. Very nice usage of facial expressions to differentiate the real O’Neill from the fake.

When I first started watching SG-1, I was a bit concerned. There were a couple of initial episodes that were pretty crappy (see my previous post about the Mongol episode…) But, by episode 6, it seems to be pulling out of crappiness and into ‘pretty damn cool’-ness.

    If you’re still watching after the Mongolian episode, it’s mostly uphill from there. :)

    Yeah, that’s the impression I’m getting. :) I’m going to try and squeeze in the next episode today.
