Bah.
So. Next week's repeats are 38 Minutes (yay!!) and... Icon. Why god, WHY???? The episode wasn't good the FIRST TIME AROUND. And if you're doing 38 Minutes, you should be showing ZERO HOUR. Damnit. Fuckers just want to keep me from getting a complete copy of that episode. *growls*
As a note, is it SAD that I knew who directed Covenant from watching the last five minutes? Crane. Shot. Me: "Martin, stop playing with the crane, damnit!" Timey: "It's a toy. He likes playing with it." (or something like that). An hour and a bit more later: "Oh, look. I was right."
I also knew Peter DeLuise directed Affinity just from the style, and the Peter Wingfield episode of Andromeda? "Huh. This is nicely shot, kinda familiar... Oh. That would be why."
...
Erm. Anyway, in a moment, I ramble about various episodes, with spoilers and stuff.
That would be Martin Wood, up there. Anyway.
SG1. Had its moments. I liked the Thor stuff, the Daniel stuff, the Sam stuff (mostly). I'm pissed that after they get out of the plane she didn't say "What the FUCK were you thinking?!" (For the record? The Sam in my head was saying that. And when she didn't say it on screen, she went off and did tequila shots with Aeryn whilst they plotted the downfall of... people). Yes, I know it's SciFi. "What the HELL were you tinking?!" would have appeased me.
Coulson? Was irritating. Why the hell didn't they kill him? I may have to, like, kill him in fic sometime soon. Because he's fucking annoying and shouldn't be ALIVE. "Oh, my wife and kid died ! *angst, angst, angst*! Oh, I know the truth, I'm gonna tell! *angst, angst, asshole*! Oh, I almost died! *asshole, asshat, angst*! Oh, I know all the secrets, but I'm suddenly going to be in trouble with the law! *angst, stupidness, angst*! Oh, I want to die!" Audience: PLEASE FUCKING DO.
He had a gun in his hand and he didn't shoot himself. My night, hell, my WEEK, would have been made.
*sad*
The Trust. *laughs hysterically*
Dude, they should have just called it the fucking Unity and gotten a comicbook reference in.
It would have at least... Can we have barefoot Trust ninjas? PLEASE?? I so need to write tptb and beg for Trust ninjas. Barefoot. They can go after T, Danny and Carter, and they can be all badass and fight them.
Affinity. Finally watched it again. I'm strangely ambivalent about the whole engagement. On the one hand, Sam is *happy*. She was practically bouncing when Pete said he was transferring to Col Springs. I think... I think it scares the crap out of her that it's moving so fast. I think there is still something there for Jack. But she's buried it so deep (seven, eight years of constant Jack, man) she isn't going to pull it out and look at it often.
If you want to use an argument and tell me she's over him, fine.
I still think it shows how much it's buried in that her Ideal Reality as shown by Fifth had Pete in it, on a farm... And part of that HAS to be that Fifth really wasn't delving the whole distance. It was all surface (who wouldn't want to be somewhere peaceful with fluffy animals and normality when they were being tortured?)
(I'm convincing myself. Shut up.)
Pete was... intelligent, as a cop. It was nice to see that there's more to him (and, there has to be, I'm sorry, but not EVERY cop knows someone in the FBI--in fact, aren't there normally jurisdictional disputes about that sort of thing?) than just a guy who could be Jack in, oh, say, 50 years. With more torture. Which, oddly, reminds me. She's never seen him at work. He's seen her, but... Not him (Osiris notwithstanding, that was mostly adrenaline), not with a gun and his brain and the knowledge for moving like that.
And I admit it. Aside from the stalking thing (whether you think it was or not), I like Pete. He sort of grew on me (like mold. Or Sikozu. Or Granny.). I just don't like him with Sam. He needs to... find a nice independant girl who does not save the planet on a daily basis (Hey, Sarah, whatcha doin' now you're not goa'ulded?) and go with her.
He is too domestic. Maybe in my head he gets a little more rounded, but in the show he's actually made comments (iirc) about her job being 'too dangerous'. But maybe that's just my head, too.
I know why we got so much Teal'c in Avatar and Affinity. Because there was NO Teal'c in Covenant.
Fuckers. I needed a pretty man to get the foul taste of Coulson from my head.
I liked T in both episodes. I like the thing about how he doesn't think they can win in the end. And Chris Judge's acting in Avatar just made me hurt along with him. The defeat in his posture as he slumped against the wall in simulation after simulation just... wow. Made me think of Crichton sitting across from Crais during Family Ties. All broken and at the end of his rope.
And he still got up and did it in the end.
Also? The scene with the reactor, where SG-1 were all pointing guns at each other... "This is exactly what we need! Lots of guns pointing in every direction." Thank you, John Crichton.
I liked Avatar. I liked Affinity. I sort of liked Covenant. They're SG-1 episodes. There are rocky bits and there are non-sucky bits. It rarely is all golden.
(Any episode where anyone on the team gets some? Is a good episode.)
Atlantis.
Um. Well... it didn't suck completely.
Apparently, the more I think about this one, the less I like it. At least CE had more McKay snark (although. Dude. He built an atomic bomb in 6th grade. tee. hee.)
Hrm. Brain is now bored.
But. Episode wasn't bad. Like Teyla's new hair. Wish they'd just chuck the wig completely.
