Yeah, I do wish they had got a better actress for Sora. Still, I appreciate that we got her story in the first place -- and that Teyla was the Six-Fingered Man. *g*
I hope you won't be offended by this, as I'm not saying you're wrong to like her or anything like that, just trying to articulate why she doesn't do anything for me personally.
Not offended in the least! I do agree that it's a very cliched take on a female hero. There's no real twist to the character -- it's just solid, standard stuff. But I guess I don't mind that, I still find it fascinating even without a fresher, Jossian interpretation. I don't find her dialogue all that stilted, though I wish the writers would give her more snark and humour. Weir too. The SG writers don't give their female characters the same kind of quippy-ness the guys get, unfortunately.
