Lazy storytelling

I finished watching "Stargate: Origins" last night, 10 online episodes ranging between 9 and 13 minutes long.

It was fine. Better than fine, given the "Stargate" drought. Strong acting, strong camera work, a scenery-chewing Nazi bad guy.

Puzzle: How was "Origins" going to fit in with the rest of the "Stargate" storyline.

Answer: It didn't. "Origins" took the lazy way out, letting the Goa'uld villain wipe out the memories of the travellers from Earth.

Distressing. It was worth the $20 fee, until that moment.

Very disappointing.
