Or, You Cannot Do Bitchy Meta About Your Show Being Cancelled In The Midst Of What Is Quite Possibly The Lamest Episode It Has Ever Produced.
Now, I haven't yet seen all 200-some episodes, but when the best part of the episode is a gag-tag about Teal'c inadvertantly going to see the Vagina Monologues, you're in sad shape.
Do I care about Vala?
Not particularly.
Do I care about Vala's Deadbeat Dad/Vala's relationship with her Deadbeat Dad?
Even less so.
Do I care about Landry?
Heck no.
Do I care about Landry's relationship with his daughter and ex-wife?
Hell no.
Maybe the "Wah! We're cancelled!" bits were added at the last minute, and everything else for the episode was already in place or whatever, but if you know you're cancelled, why do you waste episodes on the least important characters? I'd much rather have watched Walter in Walter-land encoding frelling chevrons for 45 minutes.
