Daniel Jackson jumping!

Of all the one-episode characters introduced in the Stargate franchise, I think Aris Boch is the one I'm most disappointed that we never got to see again. He's fun: no wonder the Sci-Fi channel used to play this episode so often. In a galaxy where so many people are humorless straight men, he's practically another Jack O'Neill. He gets character development, even if it isn't the deepest. And his backstory as a member of a people conquered by the Goa'uld, coerced into serving them, and who's working for them more out of resignation than anything else, makes him an interestingly realistic character type that we don't usually get to see much. There was definitely more stuff to be mined here.

A little Aris Boch action.

“Of archeology.”

But don't you think it's weird when I....ME, start reading it and as soon as Im caught up, the next update it's stuck on a hiatus, or the season finale happens...like.. that's weird right?
