It's not the greatest show in the world, and they reuse a lot of plot lines. But I enjoy the characters to such an extent, that I tend to forgive the writers (a little) for not making better use of them.
Precisely!
It's entirely possible that the fact that my favourite character is Teyla, who's had a bum deal all the way through S1-S3 (and didn't get so crash a deal in S4, either), has made me very lenient on TPTB. I'm used to the idea that my favourite character isn't going to get the kind of character development that I want to see, and IMO, anything is better than the nothing I've had to deal with for the past four seasons - opportunities missed and missed and missed...
for some reason, I seem to equate bowling as the best time these guys could have short of missions.
LOL. I have to say 'bowling' is not the first thing that comes to mind when I think of 'fun'. :)
