If that's directed at me, I'm watching SG-1 using Hulu (mainly because I want to get some use out of my subscription), and so I'm pretty sure I watched the edited versions of the two CotG episodes.
There are three versions of the pilot. The Showtime “nudity” cut, the edited cut and the Final Cut. The Final Cut is closer to what the producers wanted.
I believe Christopher Judge redubbed his lines for the Final Cut to support the more "Teal'c" voice he had developed.
Hulu has the two CotG episodes split up, so it's not the "Final Cut" version, and there was no nudity in the episodes I watched.

That was an interesting sci fi concept, a society that is linked to a computer system that provides them with a climate atmosphere that is breaking down. It's almost like a nicer version of the Borg, where the hive can give them commands to sustain the health of the whole. It's not my favorite of the season so far, but it was decent.

Lifeboat
The episode was kind of boring, but it was fun watching Shanks have multiple personality disorder. I also liked the idea of preserving life inside a consciousness to survive. Watching Shanks talk to himself as multiple personalities was fun, but the rest of the episode I really couldn't get into.
Enemy Mine
I''m watching this episode and I find it kinda boring. I did appreciate what Chak'a was doing on the world where those people enslaved him though. Looks like he has become a diplomat. The reason I wanted to say something about this episode was I'm a little confused about Daniel's memory thing. Did he get it all back naturally or was he just reading everything that he did. I think the second episode said that he was just researching all the logs but he knows about Chak'a in great detail I wonder if there was more to it.
Also, someone said that Season 6 would have less Anderson because of his schedule. You were off by a season. Season 7 I think we will see less RDA. It's showing so far in some of these episodes.

You know what's really weird is he is technically only a few days old so in theory you could make the case the girls would be out of line. While he has adult memories it isn't even a situation were it's Jack who has been de-aged. He is a completely different person with someone else's memories. Dating would clearly be pickle for him. To old to date teenagers but to young to date adults. Of course the other issue is how would adult memories be influenced by putting them in a younger body. I mean lots of our emotions don't come just from society but our genetic makeup. Also even if your ignore dating just making friends become a issue. Not sure many teens are going to be into Marry Steenbergen and fishing at ponds. I mean he grew up in the 60's so lots of the music and tv and stuff he likes we be nothing like what the teens are into.

Yeah, at this point, Daniel's memories have all returned. Best not to dwell on the matter too much, the show certainly didn't.
RDA's reduced availability began in the sixth season, as evidenced by the fact he was gone for an episode while he was with the Tok'ra and why there was a clip show. However, in season 7 it certainly becomes more evident. The producers even admitted they went several episodes without RDA or with him in a very limited degree so they could bank up on "Rick Days" as they called it for certain episodes where he would by necessity have a large role, the season premiere and finale most notably.
If memory serves me, it was so RDA could spend more time with his young daughter.
Side note: the appendicitis that Daniel had in the season 3 finale and the knee surgery O'Neill had to get at the beginning of season 6 were all actual things that happened to both actors at those times.

Yeah, I suspect the memory loss served a useful purpose in the premiere but was not something the writers really wanted to dwell on too much. In the premiere, the memory loss served to make sure Daniel's return would not be too easy or too convenient. You can't have Daniel just return exactly like before with no effort at all. But you also don't want to have to constantly stop the plot to have another character give Daniel exposition that the audience already knows. So the memory loss was not something the writers wanted to keep doing for too long. Plus, it's easy to explain that Daniel spent time reading up on mission reports to get back up to speed.
Besides, that's what they already had Jonas do in season 6.
It was really a shame that RDA spent less time on the show, stupid children
I completely agree. Like I always say, condoms are cheaper.
His schedule was even less in season 7 vs 6. I think 6 they said they had like for like 4 days a week and season 7 it was 2.5-3. They worked around it in other seasons, but season 7 it really showed.
That's too bad. It was a nice selling point in the premiere but he's really back to his old self.
Well, the episode Chimera actually deals with this issue of memory as it relates to Daniel trying to help them find the lost city.

Couldn't you warn me BEFORE I've got two children?

Well if you just had gay sex then there wouldn't be an issue either way.
I've learned not to hold this kind of thing against actors. You have to remember for most actors who work in TV and movies, they're used to most jobs only lasting a week or two to maybe a few months, so I can see where they'd be ready to move on after a few years. As long as things didn't get ugly, I don't think there's anything wrong with them coming back if they miss it, or can't get another job.
