I enjoyed SG1, but I was not the die-hard fan that couldn't accept that SGA was a different (and IMHO, better) show. I did get a little tired of the constant rant about how Sam would've done x,y,z. I would often counter with, yes, but she has different responsiblities now, her role as expedition leader means she's *not* on the front lines, etc. but I myself disliked seeing her as such a two-dimensional character on SGA. Turns out in the season four deleted scenes, there are some great Carter scenes that were cut for lack of time. Time, I might mention, spent on showing us incredibly, overly long shots of a ship approaching something or space battle scenes. Ironically, the *new* show promises to be more character-driven. Too bad it is with characters I have no desire to watch.
I don't blame TH for refusing to come back, even as a guest star. They treated her pretty shabbily in my opinion. But I would dearly like to know what the original story arc would have been with her during season 4. Season 5's Ghost in the Machine was clearly a somewhat sloppy attempt to wrap up that particular loose end, though I really don't know why they even bothered. Hmmm, this sounds a little grouchy, but I think that's largely because I *loathed* Whispers as an episode and the same writers are penning the movie. Bye, bye SGA. And when the movie tanks, it will be blamed on the actors and the aging demographic who watches them rather than the abysmal script-writing.
Ah, Woolsey in GITM was a gem though! I loved his 'do your worst' ultimatum, while the whole time his face is saying, 'don't call my bluff, please don't call my bluff'. Utterly priceless!
