I'm not sure if Amanda Tapping is bad so much as her character is just bland - she's practically Spock but I can't tell if it's the actress or just the way the character is meant to behave. I liked it when they brought in Claudia Black (the girl from Farscape) towards the end... Come to think of it I think I liked Claudia Black's character mainly because she was the only really lively person on the show. SG-1 doesn't tend to run deep on character emotions (which is not to say that's a bad thing -- it was meant to be militaristic. I think we all recall what happens when writers decide to make overemotional characters in a military show. You never saw General Hammond drink himself silly, cry, smear the walls with paint and ask Colonel O'Neill to shoot him... *shakes fist at BSG*)
Incidentally, the guy who plays Teal'c is kinda scary. Turns out the man actually IS doing a hell of an acting job. I was watching some behind the scenes show one time and the actor's personality is the polar opposite of Teal'c (for those who don't watch the show Teal'c = Spock even moreso than the rest of the characters...)
