Okay, I have to share this: [link]

Guh?

Damn. Suela's bringing the guh tonight.

On account of Netflix, being out of Farscape, and wanting some sci-fi to round out my usual fare of Mountie, Mountie, Mountie (RayRayRay), we've started watching SG-1 from the beginning.

I have questions.

So, umm... when the pilot aired, was the full-frontal nudity part of it?

Also, is that as slashy as Jack and Teal'c get? They were so broccoli.

And, oh yeah, while I'd normally be saying "Point me to fic!", I already know where to find it, so in this case, can someone point me to some feminist crits of the show?

Yup. It started on Showtime, so the nudity was there. They snip that when they re-air the pilot on SciFi.

I'm still bummed they recast Sha're: the actress from the movie was far superior.

As for Jack and Teal'c, they do have that bond, but Jack banters more with Daniel, so the slashers mostly glommed onto that. (One assumes it didn't have anything to do with CJ's skin color, but that's an assumption that's hard to test.)

I don't know of anyone specifically writing feminist critiques of the show, Plei -- it so obviously fails in the feminism department that I don't know anyone bothering to even talk about it. They do a pretty sorry job with Sam Carter, and the only other female regular is the base doctor, who spends every episode but one being nurturing. The one she doesn't nurture in, has its own problems. (Hathor)

Good point.

Unless it's the whole gold tint... When exactly did they drop that, I wonder?

I'm assuming it has to do with the fact that Teal'c is very serious and reserved.

Having seen Chris Judge interviewed, I have no doubt that off-camera hi-larity infused the set.

Trying to look up when the gold tint went away, I found this via Google:

"O'Neill" he said. "Have you not noticed that I alone among the Jaffa have a gold tint to my skin?"
"Yeah, so you're a little sparkly."
"It is because I am an elf."

That's never stopped ficcers before.

Nothing stops a determined ficcer. Not even logic, internal or otherwise.

Wasn't Jim from The Sentinel serious and reserved? You could fill a Cray with the slashfic from that fandom...

He's a Clam!

I'm going to have to find a livejournal entry to explain that now, aren't I.

Yes. (DVDs! DVDs! Ahem. Sorry. Excited about that.)
