WHERE LANDRY IS ALREADY WAITING

I read that as laundry and wondered what evil the dirt had gotten up to to be banned from the planet. Albeit, it's a chore on my list for today and while sending out to have it done is one thing, abolishing it is another.

[MITCHELL IS STUDYING THE STARGATE WITH INTEREST. HE REACHES DOWN TO TOUCH THE RING.]

AUDIENCE: He's totally feeling the gate up, isn't he?

SGC STARGATE: [humming "You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman"]

Did anyone watching the season premiere NOT think something along these lines?

Betsy, where's the Breadbox Summary link supposed to go? It just takes me to the post above yours.

Clumsy paste, ita. Sorry.

Here I was, searching for entertainment before it's time to leave for the airport, and after nearly a month in between chapters, Crazy Nikita Writer posts. It's like she's writing just for me.

If the barbarians were invading everyone’s lives, then so be it – Nikita was not here to affect the world, just influence it with her own personal style.

Remember how Roy Dupuis was in (for five minutes) this movie called "The Barbarian Invasions"? Yeah.

Ah my friends, sometimes the Barbarians are not strangers but close relations whose only purpose is to f**k with us.

...yeah.

She was well aware of her previous lives, even before Simone had made her appearance. She was in total understanding that what she was experiencing was something that had also transpired in other times she had traveled through before. And although all the personalities who had revealed themselves to her at this point in time seemed foreign to her; she was sure that pretty soon her raison d'etre would unfold before her.

"Dude, I don't need your stupid plot device to make me aware of my previous lives."

Nikita was conscious that she had loved before with an intensity that made mere mortals weep.

Must have been that story where she was Aphrodite, and she and Ares (Michael) invented the orgasm.

Hmmm.... how can you "influence the world" without "affecting" it? It's like one of those Sufi conundrums, truly.

She was in total understanding

I'm glad someone is, because I have no idea what's going on in that paragraph.

She was in total understanding that what she was experiencing was something that had also transpired in other times she had traveled through before.

It's deja vu all over again!

Nikita started to move towards the service area to order another coffee and thought better of it, walking instead towards the refrigerated pre-packed area and buying a pint of whole milk. Nikita was always looking for something to spice up her life and somehow she knew that traditionally milk did a body good.

Nikita seems to be really susceptible to advertising.

The two women exchanged a glance and then Nikita was witness, as if watching an Oscar winning film, to Giles Levac's life. Quietly Simone joined Nikita's side and they watched Giles do what he did best - take command of any given situation, even if he was not more than a secondary character in a supporting role.

She's really turning me off of "The Barbarian Invasions", although I think it's actually a good movie.

Gilles Levac appeared out of a black iron gate next to an obviously autumn affected bush

That bush is *so* obvious.

Gilles Levac's voice was soft, authoritative, pleasing, honorable and with a hint of a lyrical tone.

Of course it was.

Nikita watched the rich man before her almost whimper with the frustrating dissolution that comes with knowing that one has lost control of one's actuality - the invasion.

I hate it when my actuality gets invaded. By barbarians.

She picked up the cell phone and made a call to the recognizable specter, a professor she had a non-sexual affair with and who introduced her to the contemptible cannabis. After professing his yeaning for her, the man quickly and efficiently divulged a heroin source.

Um. Good thing she never slept with him? I guess?

Of course, as it was usually the case, things were quickly back to their quotidian self with Sebastien worried only about himself.

Quotidian?

Nikita quizzically told Sebastien before they parted ways, "In the 22nd century there is really just one problem - we are being assaulted by civilization. Isn't that a fact? Listen to Gilles Levac, 'It's an Invasion.'"

Sebastien smiled at Nikita's retreating back; he was truly confused at the remark

Oh, honey, me too.

Nikita was always looking for something to spice up her life and somehow she knew that traditionally milk did a body good.

If milk spices up your life you need to seriously reconsider your overall nutrition plan.
