SG Thoughts

[terrie]

Whoa. Dude, you think by now that SGC would learn that you don't go around activating unknown alien technology. It never turns out well. Ever. At least, not the first time.

I did like the Doctor, nice subtle introduction. I pegged her as the General's daughter pretty quick based off of his comments to Vala about having a daughter her age who never listened to him. This may be the most subtle intro EVER in SG history (both series).

And Vala. I love the snipping between her and Daniel, but, like McKay, if she's going to stick around much, she needs more. And we did get some of that with Daniel cradling her in his arms. Very sweet. There's something very visceral about the two of them that makes me alternate between giggling, squeeing and going "Awwwww." While I don't want her there all the time, she does need to show up on a regular basis. Those two are sexual tension at its best.

I really didn't care about Simon. Waste of screen time. However, the staffing scenes were fun. Is it just me or did it look like they were going to give Atlantis to Caldwell? If so, no wonder he was pissy. And I don't think John realizes that Weir got him the promotion. I do wonder what his response to that is going to be. I think its going to depend on what's going on when he finds out. If he's pissed at Earth, he'll be glad she put them in their place, but otherwise, he won't be happy.

I did like John's response to Hermiod, the nekkid alien. Like most, I didn't like McKay's crouch and cover manuver. Okay, I get it wasn't about protecting his "vitals" but about making himself small so he wouldn't get stuck in a wall, but it wouldn have worked better if he'd just tucked in his limbs really tight.

Ditto. IF she just keeps showing up off and on, I'll be plenty happy. She's got no role at the SGC, and she's far too independent (and flaky) to work out there, so having her just show up sometimes is great. She makes Daniel snark! And act like Jack! And when she's not doing that, he's holding her when she just came back from the dead! I am dead from *squee* here.

Plus, I am quite liking Cameron, who is just such the SG-1 fanboy, but fun with it. Ben's clearly having a good time, so it works out well.

Hmmm, yeah, you're right, a big part of the problem would be that she has no role at SGC. The other big problem is simply that you simply can't have that high level of tension long term. In small portions, it's great fun. If it were the Vala/Daniel show for every episode, the writers would need to tone it done, or it would start to grate. And I'm enjoying it way too much to want it toned down.

I'm so very for having Vala around from time to time after this stint. She and Daniel are so good together. that thing you said about them making you alternate between giggling, squeeing, and awwww is dead on how I react to them. But then, I've been all for her since Promethius Unbound

I'm gald to see the end of Simon (oh, please let it be the end of him!).
the were going to give the Atlantis command to Caldwell. Not going to make him a happy camper, and probably is going to make trouble throughout the season.
I don't think John knows Weir got him the promotion either. I have some people who think he knows, and some who think he doesn't. I'm thinking he might go ballistic if he knew. but I could be wrong.


hi :) I wandered through from .... welovezelenka I think.
