Lexa as new SGC doctor on SG-1

The biggest irony is that besides Lexa Doig being married to Michael Shanks ("Dr Daniel Jackson"), it's the fact that MS first met Lexa on Andromeda as a guest character ("Star-Crossed"). The actors hit it off, and after filimg their 2nd episode together ("Day of Judgement, Day of Wrath"), the two were then married in August of 2003 and not too long ago, Lexa gave birth to MS and LD's first baby together.

And I have to disagree. According to both the cast and the producers, there is enough "original" material to last out another 3-4 seasons. Plus if you look at Dr Who, it went on for 26 years with over 15 differet "Dr Whos."

My best educated guess is that with RDA's limited schedule and Amanda Tapping about to give birth to her first, TPTB were looking for a new direction that they could take the show that normally they couldnt or perhaps were unable to with the cast at the time. But with the addition of Beau Bridges, Louise Gossett, Jr, Ben Browder, and Mitch Pileggi, it looks like the TPTB are looking to renew the spark in SG-1 with new faces and new villains, ideas, etc. I am personally excited to see how S9 will play out, and potentially S10+

Call me picky, but:

Plus if you look at Dr Who, it went on for 26 years with over 15 differet "Dr Whos."

No... We've only had 9 Doctors for the series. But otherwise, spot on.

Season 27 starts on Easter Saturday on BBC1, by the way. :)

"Louise Gossett, Jr"

Since when did "Jr" become a feminine suffix?

I think its awsome that Lexa Doig is on sg1 she was one of the best reasons for Watching Andromeda. Now she is on sg1 sweet.

Louis Gossett Jr is a famous MALE star

was she really on Avalon part 1? I dont remember seeing her...

What's Jump the Shark mean?

Its when a tv show gets old it does something big to recapture its fans. The term first came about on Happy Days when the Fonze jump a shark while water sking.
