As you well know, I tend not to comment in my LJ about SGA, except for the very occasional essay, so in that regard I've been a bad friend to you. Now that you're getting the newsletter, it should be easier to find the kind of commentary you're looking for, I hope.
The ethics of S2 and some of S3 is very, very shaky. If I trusted the producers of the show, I'd think they were trying to take SGA somewhere rather Battlestar Gallactica-ish, which would be fabulous. Right from the beginning, we've seen hints of what John's capable of -- I think his behavior can be traced to his deep loyalty to the people he perceives as family. If there's a theme to S3, it is family, and what constitutes it. That's why I'm so in love with S3; it's one of the key questions in my life (and fanfiction).
I, too, am anxious to hear the DVD commentary about the ethical questions raised by SGA. Or if there will be commentary about it.
I could use an episode where I can sympathize with them again
Oh, there are many, esp in the first half of S3. What a season that was! I haven't been so happy about a television show since early X-Files day.
