Wheeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
So. SF Friday. I'm beginning to get the impression that my opinion is going to be different a lot.
Everyone hated SG-1's episode 'Avatar'. I loved it. Quite a few people like the genii. I think they're the worst plot device villains since the Tollan got their asses kicked.
You see where this is going?
I liked Prometheus Unbound. I liked The Defiant One.... Oddly, iirc, most people hated them both.
And BG was also amusing.
SG-1. Wow. Okay, first off, the entire opening scene proves once and for all that SG-1 are all 6.
Daniel: "Well, you have to let me go, Jack!"
Jack: "Why?"
Daniel: "Because Sam is still here!"
Jack: "Damn. He's taking my chair, my bitch, and my secretary. Who's going to organize me? Ack! CARTER!"
The Prometheus pops out of hyper space to find an al'kesh. Reynolds suggests it could be useful. To me, this is logical, especially since I think Jack gave their last al'kesh to the rebel jaffa... Or did Carter break it? In a well-executed move, the super soldier takes over the ship and leaves everyone behind... And doesn't kill them (what's up with that, anyway? RC didn't kill people, either! Apparently, only the REALLY bad guys do).
Daniel is left on the ship because she's already taken off, and didn't know he was there...
And then the fun really begins. Daniel and Vala spark off each other and snark brilliantly. Although half the time I wanted to call him Crichton... And then I remembered that Daniel, s7-8 Daniel, has been a hell of a lot snarkier.
Vala is off her rocker. Is she Aeryn? If you squished Aeryn, Domino, and the Dark Phoenix together, yeah. But she's a personality in her own right. I liked the energy she brought to the scenes, I liked the fact that we NEVER knew precisely what she was really doing -- or why she was doing it.
And, to me, the end was perfect. She's not a suddenly new member (hello, Mary Sue), and she isn't a sworn enemy. She's just -- gone.

Atlantis. McKay and Shep are SO SIX. They are like the bouncy kids who go, "Mom, can we have some candy?"
Shep: "It's shiny, Lizzie, can we go play?!"
Which of course means that Liz immediately knows they're going to get into trouble.
And Nyan! omfg! Nyan is in Pegasus!! That makes my little heart glad, that does. It means he's no longer sequestered deep inside the SGC.
I like that Shep has this driving need to figure out stuff to fuck with the Wraith. It makes him that much hotter. Mmm. Driven men. And Ford's shoulders! We need more of them, people. And more Liz, but this was almost good enough, as her Shep-sense was going off full time.
The Wraith, btw, are still not scary in the least. And they should never have let that guy yell loud, because the difference between his makeup and the pinkness of the inside of his mouth was... bad.
While it was sad to note who were the redshirts immediately, I still enjoyed them. And I loved Nyan's point that Rodney is more into danger now than he was before. Because he's had to be, he's had to change and adapt to the situation (which, really, is all he's ever really needed, along with less of an ego).
Unfortunately, Rodney should have known better than to give the dying man a gun. (I told him not to, but he wouldn't listen).
I'm also groovy and happy about Nyan killing himself. Because it's a serious, dramatic flair thing, and SG has always copped out of this sort of thing. Sadly, I doubt it'll mean much in the long run.
Wraith go boom was fab.

Ah, Kara. I love you dearly, babe.
There was sex! And she was practically masturbating in public! Siiiigh.
Damn, I've got it bad.
Good ep, though. ;)
