You know, there are times when, as an SGA fan, it's kind of heartening to be reminded that there are worse shows out there. It's even more heartening to be reminded that even the Star Trek franchise had its lousy episodes. (Even though TOS is still and will always be one of my favorite shows ever, the writers' grasp on biochemistry, anthropology or, god forbid, convergent evolution was pretty flimsy.) Or perhaps an entire lousy series or two ...

... which is why I've been reading agonybooth.com's recaps of the Worst Ever Star Trek Episodes and giggling myself silly. (Quick warning: Some of the commentary in these recaps is quite funny. Some of it makes you want to smack the writer in the face with a dead flounder. Brace yourself for a bit of casual sexism and repeated use of the word "retarded".)

SGA had some embarrassingly bad episodes, but at least no main character ever spent an entire episode in sickbay freaking out about a sick dog or evolved into a salamander and had little salamander babies with his commanding officer. ("Conversion", I guess, got pretty close in some ways, but never hit the absolute rock bottom of having Sheppard carry off Weir to impregnate her with salamanders. That's actually the only Voyager episode that I specifically remember from the limited number of episodes that I've seen. It may have been awful, but at least it was memorably awful!)
