Agree that Black and Browder’s characters left a bit to be , desired in SG1 but, well, shallow as it is, she was perfectly charming to look at. Also showed a talent for light comedy in places. Would have bet the house on you being a Farscape fan. Thought it was probably the best SF TV series ever made and some of the best TV in general. Good stories, great characters, and never afraid to break the rules. As and SF fan/writer, I got into it straight away and it is no mean compliment to the series that Mrs T was also locked (not an SF fan). All of our kids were deeply into it as well.
Black was cast to be the female lead in Life, the good cop story made in USA featuring Damian Lewis, But a pregnancy got in the way (still appeared in the titles though).
Back in SG1, I always thought that Amanda Tapping did a decent job of the lead. Did you ever see the Sanctuary series she went on to make afterwards? Quite mad, but entertaining in a lightweight sort of way. SG1 had some most interesting cast members – Dom Deluise put in an appearance as did Maury Chaykin – the actor who played the lead in the Nero Wolfe Mysteries. The latter do not get broadcast often but well worth a look. Decidedly eccentric.
