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.
