If memory serves, the producers DID throw some T&A into SG-1 a few years ago when the introduced Vanessa Angel as the busty cleavage popping scantily clad Goa'uld. According to interviews, this was one of the main reasons that Michael Shanks left for one season. They do occasionally throw in more T&A, on one episode where O'Neil was trapped on another world for 3 months he lived with a woman and got her pregnant. In several other episodes, they dressed up Amanda Tapping in skirts and heels, but I must admit that she has that "combat boot, gun carrying" image that makes it difficult to picture her in high heels and silky dresses. Don't get me wrong, I think that Amanda Tapping's character is awesome.. I mean, she has that sexy blonde, brainy, big gun user thing going on :-) Personally, I think that the mix they currently have of the implied sexual tension between O'Neil and Carter and the occasional thrown in busty Goa'uld works well. Kind of like the Mulder-Scully sexual tension. In some shows, the romantic angst thing works well and adds to the story line, but I think that would only distract from Stargate. By the way, I just ran across a FAQ on the Stargate website covering one of my few gripes about the show: 6. Why does every culture SG-1 encounters speak English? Practical reasons that come with television production. The time constraints of an hour-long episode mean that it would become a major hindrance to the story each week if SG-1 had to spend the first 10 minutes of each episode learning to communicate with a new species. http://www.stargatesg1.com/home/faq/index.html One other minor nit I have with the show is the iris. Inbound teams certainly have a great deal of faith that someone at the base didn't fall asleep at the switch. I mean, if I were going through that gate and knew that there was a barrier that could make me into jelly, I would be asking for confirmation that the thing was open instead of just assuming and stepping through. But that's just me. Gary _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
