Hmm. Probably too late to mention, but if you're about to watch this weekend's season 2 ep, skip that post for now. It's a replay of a sight gag near the beginning.
'War Stories'
Spoilers 3: First Mutant Enemy, Now the World
[NAFDA] Spoilers for any and all currently running TV shows. All hardcore spoilage, all the time. No white font.
Are you guys arlready getting Season 2 in the US? We have to wait until the freakin' fall.
They actually aired something that slapstick in the episode? I assumed it was the actors clowning around in an outtake when I found it...
We are ahemming like mad things, Sue. That's why all S2 comments are whitefonted in the Boxed Set thread.
Ah. Continue on.
Of course, I forgot what thread I was in when I typed that warning, so never mind.
Freema Agyeman, new Companion?
So, SG-1 S10. Begins where last season leaves off, with our guys getting their asses kicked. Sam's still floating in space near the supergate, the Koralev is all exploded, and the Odyssey is in reeeeeally bad shape. BB managed to grab a fighter and escape the explosion, and Daniel ringed aboard the Ori ship where Vala is (lucky break!), so they all lived. Hooray!
By the end of the ep, all we really know is that the Lucian alliance isn't so interested in alliance as we'd hopd, Vala's baby is growing up superfast, and will be full grown (and played by Morena Baccarin) in a few days. She is "the Orisi" and knows as much as the Ori could fit into her tiny human bran. She's going to lead their armies in this galaxy. Vala and Daniel get beamed back to the Odyssey at the last minute before they're discovered and killed. Vala has had very little luck getting her daughter to not lead the Ori armies in a mass slaughter of everyone in our part of the universe.
In ep 2, Vala is applying to be an official part of SG missions for some reason, and therefore needs a psych evaluation. The point of this (since she's already BEEN On SG missions, after all) is that seeing Vala take a psych evaluation is funny. Which it is, and they do need an excuse to keep her around now that she's part of the opening credits, so it's all good.
The main team is on some planet mentioned vaguely in connection with Sir Gawain, which they think might have Merlin's anti-Ori weapon on it. It doesn't, but it does have lots of new books for Daniel to translate, and a parasite that causes sleep, and then death. They lose 2 redshirts before help arrives to save all the characters with names.
SGA tonight or tomorrow.
Okay, how much do I love the fact that the very first problem we encounter in Eureka ends up being solved by reversing the polarity of a tachyon emitter?! I mean, dude. That's just awesome.
(And, huh, I never did get around to recapping SGA. Should I even bother? Does anyone actually care?)
reversing the polarity of a tachyon emitter?!
Hee
On SGA, thumbs up or down? I want to be enthused.
