whispered slowly to me

Finally got around to watching the Stargate movie. It was... interesting, to see what they had, and what they changed to do the series. There were definitely moments of the nascent Jack and Daniel Show. But, sadly, no "Jack." "Daniel." "Jack." "Daniel!" I totally hated French Stewart as Feretti. I'm so fucking glad they replaced him (and Kawalsky was FAR better in the show).

I apologize to all Kurt Russell fans, but his portrayal of O'Neil was very... dull. (and it could have been so much more... amusing. strange. dramatic. good, even. sigh)

If the man showed any emotion, I never saw it (and his fight with the jaffa was pathetic. On *both* their sides).

Also, guys? When the unconscious woman wakes up staring directly at a headless body? This is a SCARRING THING. Don't leave her lying there... Idiots. (yes. There was time to move her, they just... didn't... Perhaps this is why no one thought there was anything wrong with leaving Sam cradling Martouf at the end of D&C -- or John on Command staring at, uh, the bot thingie...)

Sigh.

Emotional traumas. Bah.

Anyway. I apparently saw the director's cut. If there were added scenes, I'd like to know where? From what I saw, there really wasn't much you COULD have cut!

Daniel's coffee addiction was amusing to see. ;)

Loved the control room stuff, for some reason (no Chevron Guy. I was saddened).

I feel like watching Torment of Tantalus again. Hrm.

And while I felt the lack of Sam (and people I wanted to pay attention to--although Skaara and Sha're totally had me going "Awwww!!!"), sigh. No Sam. The movie wouldn't have been better (no RDA!Jack, either). But I could have leered.

I watched Children of the Gods with my not-yet-addicted sister yesterday and totally flailed when I saw he was in it.

No Sam. The movie wouldn't have been better

You know, there's a random blonde chick in the control room pushing buttons that my roommate and I decided could be Sam. And if you thought that was the geekiest we could sink to in that evening, the answer is NO, because I then freaked the heck out about how Daniel said Abydonian was like Berber and how it is not *at all* like Berber.
