'Selfless'
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
if the decision's being made by AU!Hammond, he's not going to take that into consideration, regardless of what the original Sam, Jack, and Daniel say.
But our SG1 is holding all the information. If they want what they want, they can deliver data selectively.
Consider the effect that the episode 1969 not happening could have on Sam. That could account for her definite difference in path.
Yeah, the point about the potential impact of 1969--since we know Hammond was a friend of the Carter family--is a good one. Anyway, it's an in.
But our SG1 is holding all the information. If they want what they want, they can deliver data selectively.
True, and yet... they don't know who the people are who will be receiving the information, and what may have changed. I still don't see any logic behind Hammond sending anyone into the past, but then I haven't seen any indication he will.
Unspoiled predictions: They send people through the gate. Time being as elastic as it is, they run afoul of Apophis and/or Anubis, and come squealing home with their tail between their legs. Without the skills/experience of the original timeline, they're dead meat, and that's the rationale for trying to fix the timeline.
But I'm just speculating.
If I were making the tape, it'd be something like "There's a huge threat out there, enslaving humans all over the galaxy. We have the knowledge of how to fight them -- you can't get that without the Stargate, if you don't already have it."
It would be interesting to consider an AU where they'd buried the first gate, or destroyed it, and what'd have to be done to get the Antarctic one put into use.
But as you say -- Hammond's given no indication of what he wants to do.
I love a good time plot so I'm good with SG1 at the moment. The Sam timidity was odd, but this may change in the next segment. I forgot to tape so I'll have to wait to rewatch. I have to pay closer attention that I was able to last night. My mind just enjoyed the twistiness of time travel consequences. Whee!
It was a delight to enjoy the waterlogged show for a change.
BSG didn't hold my attention at all. It is good to hear nice buzz about the season finale, but I just didn't feel the tension that they were aiming for with the VP threat.
The Cylon Occupied Caprica was more interesting than usual and looked more so again next time. It may have been my imagination, but did they not have the notation on the screen that we were in COC.
I love Rodney, but he'd never shut up enough for a proper shag.
Aw, come on. Just consider that a challenge.
It may have been my imagination, but did they not have the notation on the screen that we were in COC.
No, they didn't -- just Helo's personal "54th day on Caprica" (or however many it was) lower-third. I suppose they figure anyone watching at this point either already knows, or will figure it out.
Ah good. The Cylon Occupied Caprica notation made my eyes roll.
Saw the newst BSG. Mostly the ep increased my Starbuck love, particularly the exasperated tipping of the bottle toward Lee with her cane as she ran by to tackle the guy with the gun. I thought the reporter that Balter hooked up with looked like she had no upper teeth.
I also thought the COC storyline got real interesting. Nice and angsty.
Hey, Suela, on the off chance that you see this before checking your e-mail do not read the comment in your LJ from ixchup, as it spoils the second half of Moebius in a bad way.
