I wish they would decide if it's "Gould" or "Go-a-ould", even the main cast can't seem to be consistent, including when they happen to be possessed by one...

Edit: Ok, now I've heard one Tok'ra and one Asgard pronounce it "gaould" - seriously, would it have been so hard to tell people how it's supposed to be pronounced, rather than apparently just letting them say it any which way?

Because I'm presently in denial, I've started watching Stargate SG-1 (season 1) on hulu - and boy is this ever a stupid show. The actors aren't bad, and the show is pretty enjoyable, but holy crap does the portrayal of the people on the other planets need some work. Since they're all human, and mostly pulled from different cultures than the one the heroes come from, it gets really offensive at times. I thought the "mongolians" were pretty bad, and then they started in on the vikins. Crikey, this stuff gets annoying x 10 when it's your culture they make a mess of. How non-white people ever watch TV in the west without chucking the things out the window is quite the mystery.

And I like how these various groups of people have all completely failed to evolve past the middle ages, yet all speak modern american (despite not having been harvested from even proto-english speaking cultues) and have elastic bands in their cotton clothing... Oh well, gotta love any show who puts important men in pastelle-coloured midriff-baring belly-dancer tops with bell sleeves...and a gold coloured wastepaper-basket for a hat...
