Stargate Friday!

[castalia]

The good: Daniel in a suit. Daniel and Sam's little back-and-forth talking about whether or not the Asgard was real (felt like the old days, there for a second). Must say, I did laugh when Thor showed up and pretended to be a hologram. Also, loved the scene in Jack's office, with Daniel, Jack and Thor sitting around the desk; Daniel never said a word, just shrugged a bit (hee). I liked the reporter guy, too, reminded me a bit of a young Terry Gilliam.

The bad: I don't really like eps like this, b/c I can't help siding, even just a bit, with whoever's trying to expose the truth, ala Mulder. Once again, SG1 is deciding what's best for the entire world, though I did like that Carter wasn't happy with discrediting. I'm also really glad they didn't kill this reporter off in order to protect their secrets. But I was sad that his boyfriend killed himself b/c he felt guilty...*sniff* I liked those two.

The cheesy: They didn't even try to disguise the fact that the station logo looks almost exactly like the Sci-Fi Channel logo.


Aaaaand, Atlantis! Damn these non-existant transitions b/w SG shows.

Hee. So Rodney's a coffee addict, too. I'll bet Carson's more of a tea man, though. I want to see the battle for the last cup of coffee in the galaxy *g*

Offer a sense of humor in trade...hee. I missed you, Rodney! Glad you're back this week.

Ahhh, O'Brien. Nice to see you here. My, but you're cranky.

I like to see them trying to trade for food, but I have to wonder - if they're going to be trading things like medicine, how much can they afford to trade? I'm sure they didn't bring an endless supply.

Hee. They're gonna blow it up *g* Boooom!

Poor Weir. She's the diplomat, but she's stuck on base and is having to rely on other people to do the negotiating. If she's not careful, they'll end up giving away all their supplies.

Poor Ford. Can't take the moonshine, and Teyla disses him for it.

Shep and McKay are lost, heh. And they're already bickering. Too cute. Still don't want to slash them, but they make great teammates. Really, I'm liking the whole team dynamic.

Hee. Palm readings. Love that snark.

Hm, these Amish people aren't so Amish. And now our boys have been caught snooping. Yup, that's gonna affect the trade agreement.

"What giant underground bunker?" "I know almost everything about almost everything." Hee. Omg, Rodney, I adore you. And you know how to make an A-bomb, and did when you were in high school. So much love.

I know seeing Rodney show off his mad physicist skillz, but really, do they want to be giving these people the means to make atomic weapons?

Eeee, they brought up the citrus allergy again! *loves*

I'm not sure why this is even an issue. The Wraith beat the Ancients, with all their advanced tech. What makes these people think dinky little atomic weapons will do them any good? Oh well, at least it gives us an excuse to hear Rodney babble on about teh geek stuff.

Omg, Rodney made an atomic bomb in 6th grade? And was investigated by the government for it? *dies*

Aw, he didn't win the science fair? Good lord, what entry *did* win, I wonder.

"I'm a dead man." Ok, that's twice. Rodney, you're so fatalistic. Perceptive, though.

I like Teyla's new haircut muuuch better. It looks more natural on her, less like a bad wig (which it probably still is, but at least less ugly).

Hmm, smart of Shep to lie and say they only have one PuddleJumper. They all need to work on their poker faces, though.

Eww, the Wraith cocoon their prey if they want to save them for later? They're spider-people! Wheee!

Probably smart of Shep to keep McKay with him. Protect the civilian, and all that.

That little scanner thing has become Rodney's security blanket. I'll bet he takes it everywhere with him.

Teyla's a lot more animated this ep. I think I may actually like her. Wow.

Mmm, Rodney pretty. *is so shallow*

Oh, that was smart. Shoot the guy and bring the Wraith.

Was wondering when these people were going to completely turn on them, and yup, we have new enemies. That's kinda good, actually, having more than one enemy.

Wheee, and Shep brings out the heavy guns! Nice to see Jumpers 2 and 3, though Jumper 1 will always be special ;) And he takes their little toy, too. Good job, Shep.

No Carson at all? What, they give him his own ep and we don't see him again for a while? Not fair! Can't we even have a small scene with him and Rodney? Pleeeease? *whines*

Heh, so Sgt. Bates was able to broker a successful trade agreement. And Shep's jealous. *smirks*

What? We don't get a new ep until the 10th? How on earth am I going to survive until then? Aw man, I hate Sci-Fi and their stupid schedules.

I barely remember mine. Something about breakfast cereals, I think. It wasn't a great year for me, and if I'd had to do it again some other time I probably would have picked something really cool. Oh well.

Hey, presentation is everything. My mum made sure my display was pretty, and I think I got an A on the thing.
