The shows I hate the most are the ones where you can see the grievous error from the opening credits (I can think of at least two SGA eps like that, for example, and there are probably more, alas), but the characters somehow never figure it out themselves. I mean, putting the evil alien on the experimental amnesia drug right inside your home base is possibly not the first option you'd choose, right? Or letting the one guy with the most tactical knowledge be the volunteer to have his body taken over by the other alien? I mean, it's really sad that the other body-snatching alien just wanted to see her husband again, but any cute grunt could be the stand-in, right?
This is why I probably shouldn't watch television. :)
