I know which episode you're talking about, but it wasn't the one I was referencing. I'd have to get into an episode guide to fully explain the one I meant. There are several episodes where Jack and Daniel's personal views on how to handle situations create interesting drama, and that was good, but the thing about that was Jack usually turned out to be right. Now if that's because Richard Dean Anderson is/was a prodcuer on the series at the time and Jack O'Neill needs to be elevated to near God-like status for his ego, I dunno.
I agree with you about wanting it to be less safe. This is the series based on a movie where one of the main characters was prepared to nuke an entire planet to protect Earth. If Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin had a say in how the TV show went, I'm sure it'd be more intense, take more risks and still have my viewership. Roland and Dean aren't afraid to frickin' kill people off.
