I’m rewatching the series right now and wow - those Kino interviews add almost nothing. After skipping those and half the scenes with Chloe, the episodes are hardly 20 minutes long.
The other issue (in addition to what you put) is that nothing of real consequence happens despite the darker tones. Pretty much every time something ‘bad’ happens, there’s a solution - And usually pretty uninspired. The really bad one imo was when Eli and gang got stuck off world due to the mine collapse.
The only drama in the show I think I actually enjoyed was Rush v Young.
Seriously, why would they not utilize the weapon that was so heavily featured in both SG-1 and Atlantis? I wonder if it was a licensing issue or something.
They use blanks. During the Iraq war there was a shortage of 5.7x28mm blanks. It’s possible they switched some blank production lines over to make live rounds for the war, or maybe the military needed more blanks to cover increased training needs.
