Hmm...while it could work, I still don't see it working out so well. Partly because one of Who's great strengths is that it does standalone adventures so excellently. I love my arc-driven shows like mad, but who's kind of the one real episodic show I love as much...I think because the imagination's so big it never feels like planet-of-the-week. Of course, RTD has figured out how to make arcs work brilliantly inside the adventures, but there's still a fine line...
I think the other thing, though, which makes me think it wouldn't work out well is that we've all been given the impression that Billie really does mean to move on for good. If Rose could actually come back, the arc could be interesting, but if she's not gonna come back then it'd be hard to pay off to anyone's satisfaction, methinks.
And which SG-1 ep are you referring to exactly? The one where Sha're dies? That was a great one. I also rather liked the ep where he found the Buddha-baby. Except for the fact that the utterly western writers kinda missed the bit about Buddhist types not, y'know, killing people. Or Ja'fa. *snerk*
