Also, not depicted.
Aye. There's the rub.
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Just saw the replay on SciFi. It's the first ep I've seen, and I liked it. I am easy, when it comes to television, so I'm not necessarily a good barometer, but I did enjoy it.
I did not, however, figure out that the ghost was Walter, seeing as I'd never seen Walter. So there was me, and everyone on the show. Oh, and I was a little puzzled at the lurkity of what I presume now is evil-shrink-lady.
Also?
Indiana?!?
We have baseball in Indiana, dammit! We have one of the finest (okay, admittedly minor-league) fields around. But still. Harumph.
Anyway, I liked it, I liked Colin, I liked several of the characters, I think I liked the premise, although it was not altogether clear just from this episode alone, and I'll give it a shot.
Now, about this episode, specifically, that lady made a crazy bad call and I kind of hate it. I have my whole own life, I left the man I married, I walked away from my hopes and dreams of a perfect little house and family, and I've been on my own for years. I get a crazy hysterical call, I turn up in a whacky town that subjects me to scanning alongside the corpse of cloned me who has been living with my ex and their son in my dream house. And I'm supposed to walk away from everything I've been living for the past decade to pretend to be the mother of an orphan and the wife of a staticky ball of electricity? That's all kinds of wrong. And I mean in gender roles ways, and I mean in personal life decisions ways, and I hope it plays out in future episodes.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Anybody watching Night Stalker?

It's 15 minutes in to SG-1, and I've Cackled Like A Loon at least six times.
So... where do they keep getting Stargates to throw around?

Did she actually say she was going to stay? It was implied that she had a change of heart about the kid, but I never read it as set in stone that she was going to stay and be that Susan Perkins from now on. That would just be sloppy writing.
(Also, does Walter even know that the other version died and that the one standing outside the big ball o'static is the original who left him? We never got a scene where they explicitly filled him in on what was going on while he was mostly dead.)

Yes, but that would've been "Indianapolis," not "Indiana." The only teams called "Indiana" are basketball teams, as it right and proper.
Oh, and I was a little puzzled at the lurkity of what I presume now is evil-shrink-lady.
Evil-shrink-lady murdered Susan #2, and made it look like suicide, if that helps. Which brings up a point. Did anyone do an autopsy on Susan #2, or even investigate the fact that it might not be a suicide? Sure, she was distraught, but there was also evidence that her husband might have been in cahoots with persons unknown to obtain tech from Section 5, something she might have had knowledge of. You'd think someone might wonder about the suspiciousness of the circumstances. Where's Grissom when you need him?
Also, does Walter even know that the other version died and that the one standing outside the big ball o'static is the original who left him?
He knows the latter, at least, because Susan #1 asks him "Why?", and he explains about wanting a family, etc. They didn't depict a lot of stuff in the episode.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Well, the thing that sucks is about the kid. Because right now he doesn't believe anything other than, his mom isn't dead. So if, after revealing herself to the kid, she then chooses to leave, she'll have a lot of 'splainin to do.
Also,

Heh. Okay, this is true.

Art Crawl!!!
They didn't say whether she would stay or go.
I watched both old and new Nightstalkers. I had watched the new one before, my main reason for rewatching is the hope that I get to see the resolution of the CLIFFHANGER that they left us with upon cancellation.

I'll have you know that IU has a (mediocre) baseball team, as well as football, soccer, and a variety of women's teams
I don't know anyone who watches any of those, though.
I definitely had the "really?" response to the line.
SGA: I have to say that I think this ep would have been much more fun if someone other than John had been the one to save everyone.
