*yawn* Where did my interest in this season go? The same place they put the interesting episodes?
Um, yeah. Maybe if I were a video game addict, I might have liked this one more. As it is, I wish they'd used the whole supersoldier bit to actually, y'know, advance the supersoldier arc. Still, this one was a bit better than last week's, I suppose. Can we get to the decent episodes now?
- "You have failed." I don't know whether it adds to or takes away the sting when Teal'c smiles as he's saying this.
- "Make it harder." *giggle* I think a Levitra commercial was shown around this time, too.
- Ooooh! Someone needs to write Sam-and-Jack-watch-The-Matrix-movies fic!
- Heh, Teal'c plays Doom.
- Grrr, Gamekeeper. Didn't like that ep.
- It's still weird to hear "Colonel" when someone's talking to Sam.
- Dr. Carmichael? I thought they had a Dr. Brightman last time. Are we playing musical doctors this season?
- It's the Sam and Danny show!
- Heh, everyone's pointing guns at each other. It's like Farscape.
Atlantis: Childhood's End
If SG-1 and Atlantis were having a deathmatch, I'd give this one to Atlantis. Again. Despite the unwelcome superficial imilarities to "Revisions," this one wasn't half-bad. The whole thing sort of reminded me of a clean version of "Taking the Stone." Only better. Mostly.
Ramblings:
- *SNORT* McKay! I feel the need to go and fight for Sam's honor or something. That insinuation was just nasty.
- "Yes. Energy field good."
- Um, y'all are gonna get killed real soon if you keep up this bickering. Especially you, McKay. Way to be a team player.
- Ah, John, you're so economical, wanting to save a perfectly good puddle-jumper. And how much do I love that they're acknowledging the finite amount of these things, unlike the Unlimited Shuttle Suppy of Voyager? *loves*
- Treehouses! Oh, it's so Peter Pan. So where's Tinkerbell?
- Or you could just go up the ladder the normal way, instead of trying to climb it sideways...
- So you won't assume that the planet's magnetic field is like Earth's, but you'll charge right ahead in the assumption that their year is the same as ours? Not that it was hard to assume that given how old the kids looked, but still.
- OMG, the talk about the sacrifice? I know, exposition and all, but damn. At least attempt to de-cheesify it and make it a little less of an exposition bomb.
- I have "He does have a point" written down, but I have no idea what it's in reference too. Might be McKay.
- Awww, John wants kids! I wanna see John/Lizzie kidfic now!
- "You're mean." BWAHAHAHAHA! *rolls on floor* I heart McKay trying to work with the kids around. Heh.
- "You guys know what chocolate is? This is gonna be huge." Hee.
- Why helloooooo, ZPM...
- "What are the odds of the Wraith coming back in the few hours McKay is running his tests?" Okay, John? You're new to this whole Stargate thing, so I'll give you a break this time. But generally, when something like that is done on a mission, the odds are pretty well 100%. It's this thing called "plot."
- "There's the slightest possibility that in my haste I may have broken it."
- Um, McKay? Treadmill and weight room for you, stat.
- Better living through chocolate!
- [Preview] It's Talmadge! Wheeee! [/Seven Days geek]

Trust me, no you wouldn't have. I'm one and it was still meh.
- Treehouses! Oh, it's so Peter Pan. So where's Tinkerbell?
I was thinking almost equal parts Hook and Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. Although that was probably just the bows.
I heart McKay trying to work with the kids around. Heh.
I swear, McKay is going to end up on my list of favorite characters ever before too long...

Best moment of the episode...

Well, the first half of last season was rahter lacklustre as well. It took about six episodes to hit a half-way decent one, and until an episode or two after the mid-season break to get good. Yet another reason why they should end it this season instead of prolonging the pain into season nine...
Trust me, no you wouldn't have. I'm one and it was still meh.
Good to know.

Oh, yeah, there's that too.

Hee!

Date: 2004-08-15 01:08 am (UTC)I had to. I don't have any SG icons and Jack talked about The Matrix. And spleens are always funny.

They really should just officially pass the torch to Atlantis already.
no subject
Date: 2004-08-15 02:58 am (UTC)Indeed. Although if there is no spleen, then a lot of us are kind of screwed. Well, not totally screwed, but depressed-immune-system screwed, if I remember my biology correctly.

Definitely. I have no intention of seeing X-Files Redux.
no subject
Date: 2004-08-15 03:31 am (UTC)Not screwed. Just inconvenienced. After all, Keanu has no spleen and does that stop him? Nope. (Seriously, he has no spleen. Suspiciously, he lost it after a motorcycle crash he had while filming Chain Reaction... in Chicago...)
Definitely. I have no intention of seeing X-Files Redux.
I'm just happy I never fully got into The X-Files. Makes it so much easier from me.

It does. I didn't stick it out...I quit watching halfway through season eight, but got drawn back in during season nine. Once they ditched Scully as Doggett's partner and brought in Reyes, it got pretty good again. If they'd just spun off the Doggett/Reyes show, instead of trying to say it was still the orignal X-Files, it would've been so much better.

I only watched it for a couple seasons around... I think seasons 5 and 6. Even by that time the mythology episodes were getting so freaking weird that I had to give it up. I caught a couple of the Doggett episodes, and I did like him, even if it seemed a little weird. I didn't see any with Reyes, though.

The mytharc was...it was...I have no words; they've been blotted out by the rage that fills me at the thought of that thing. Reyes was pretty neat; more down to Earth and not as much like Saint Scully, which was nice.

It is. It is indeed.

Date: 2004-08-18 06:30 am (UTC)I don't. I only have 5. Weren't you paying attention?
It is. It is indeed.
At least I don't have a muse that's going to pester me about it until it's done. I'm museless and happy. :)

Date: 2004-08-19 02:12 am (UTC)I see that hyperbole should be today's vocabulary word.

You know, my angst muse recently took it upon herself to go and bug Kate. I could send another one your way...

Date: 2004-08-19 02:50 am (UTC)It wouldn't be so hyper if you would stop giving it sugar.

Wouldn't work. I'm naturally muse-resistant.

You know that's like waving a red flag in front of them, right? And do you remember saying that about getting on the dance floor at ScaperCon...?
no subject
Date: 2004-08-19 05:32 pm (UTC)Yeah, but on the other hand it's true, so nothing can happen to me. Take that, muses!
And do you remember saying that about getting on the dance floor at ScaperCon...?
That was different. That was the end of a four-year-old running joke. It needed the punchline, so I had to allow myself to be dragged onto the floor in the name of comedy.
no subject
Date: 2004-08-19 09:31 pm (UTC)They'll get you. They'll find little cracks in your resistance and worm their way in and yell at you until you fall to their evil tricks.

That's not what you were saying at the time...

Date: 2004-08-19 09:43 pm (UTC)Tell them to do their worst. No good will come of it. Well, some good will. I'll laugh a bit at the futile attempts, and laughter is good.
That's not what you were saying at the time...
That was part of the joke. I did tell Rachel that it was the perfect punchline, though.
no subject
Date: 2004-08-20 05:31 am (UTC)Hmmm...well, at least it keeps them out of my hair for a while. *shoos off muses* Go attack Nick!
That was part of the joke.
Oh, go ahead and rationalize it...the rest of us know the truth...
I did tell Rachel that it was the perfect punchline, though.
If I weren't so lazy, I'd go and verify this...
no subject
Date: 2004-08-20 08:54 pm (UTC)You know, I'm going to expect compensation for entertaining your muses for a while.
Oh, go ahead and rationalize it...the rest of us know the truth...
Or do you?
If I weren't so lazy, I'd go and verify this...
She apologized for dragging me onto the floor and I told her it was the perfect punchline. It's true!
