It's a very straightforward show that doesn't try to be pretentiously "intelligent" and the portrayal of God is almost a perfect neo-mythic representation clothed in a more modern day sensibility--ie, rather than having God "appear" in burning bushes and inanimate objects he "appears" in people--in a manner that is comprehensible to modern audiences. A nice touch, focusing on the for the writers to focus on his portrayal in just one of the myriad of ways that he could be portrayed without having to alienate an audience. I guess that is also keeping more with the Christian representation of God "embodied" as <EM>man</EM> as well...anyway...<br /><br />I really enjoyed SG1 when it first came out way back when--but I had to stop watching it once my prof came back from his summer vacation--hence, no more Cable for me.<br /><br />I should have tried watching Medical Investigations, but I'm ultimately not really a TV person in the end...Jon Silpayamananthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17956747018534076778noreply@blogger.com
