They killed off Sokar too early in my opinion and then realised the mistake and made Sokar 2

Stargate SG-1, Anubis. A very evil, evil-looking evil guy who is evil and did a bamboozle once. That’s all the character depth he has.
Also Cam Mitchell, who is just a non-brand replacement for O’Neill (no offense to the actor).

Browder’s acting was fine. It’s the character I didn’t like. A third “charismatic, witty, sarcastic leader” archetype was just too much after O’Neill and Sheppard. His tragic background also feels tacked-on, rushed, and inconsequential, and doesn’t have the same impact as Cold Lazarus.
Claudia Black, I actually like, mainly because of her stellar performance in the Uncharted games. Vala showed promise early on as a sort of opportunist anti-hero who may help or hinder SG-1 depending on the circumstances, but her inclusion in the SGC’s personnel was too much, let alone putting her in SG-1. Teal’c proved his loyalty and reliability, Vala did the opposite.
On the whole, the SGC had turned into a parody of itself. Beau Bridges was fine, but I couldn’t take him seriously as a general. Dr. Lee, an obvious comic relief character, did not help. Without Hammond’s straight man to counter the shenanigans, I just couldn’t take it seriously anymore.

Farscape actors turning up in SG-1 was a disappointment for me. Whatever Claudia Black does for people, she doesn’t do it for me.

Aw real bummed to see you say this. Cam did the best he could stepping into the shoes he was, and while he’s no O’Neill, he grew on me. And I liked Anubis, too!
