Hot shirtless boy wearing many necklaces is the kid? That's ... confusing.
We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Clothes from the dead...well, that's something.
There was a long shot in the last ep I watched that showed an empty swing, and on closeup there was a ghost in it. But that doesn't begin to explain the huge amount of object manipulation she constantly does, not to mention all the conversations with her in public.
Oy.

Oy.I'll see your Oy and raise you and Bzuh?
I'm just wishing she'd change her ghosty hair. I hate it. Find a dead stylist or something.
And shirtless UsedToBeBabyTehHell? boy looks much better shirtless. I had to rewatch the beginning of this ep to check. And, yes, I prefer shirtless.

Hey, guys. Watched the SG finales Friday, then got really surprised when there was almost no discussion here. Anyway, my thoughts....
Atlantis: Well....wouldn't it be nice if the writers took the time to set up ongoing background threads so we didn't have to be anvilled with this is the theme and confilct for this episode in the teaser? *Sigh* Aside from that, it was pretty good, although knowing Torri Higgenson's change in status made the bit at the end with Weir annoying. And I must have missed some episodes, when did Jewel Staite show up?
SG1: I pretty much agree with what others said above about the non-interesting tedium and the correctness of the ending but....There's something interfering with my enjoyment, and it's called "The Locket". It says an awful lot that Farscape can do this in a throwaway episode and make it (IMHO) so much better. Oh well.

You didn't miss anything. This was her introduction.
I hate a lot of previouslies, since they give away so much about the episode.
I also think Weir was handled very clunkily--all of a sudden she's ready to quit, after going toe-to-toe with the military and the IOA so many times in the past? Bad writing, people! Bad writing!

Art Crawl!!!
I have a feeling that Hex is near the end of the second season. Uh, I don't know why they don't just kill the bad guy.
Ella didn't even try. And then the next thing you know Malachi is actually eating souls and killing things. And Thelma! They made Thelma go bad, but in a weaselly unfun way.
Also - I'm thinking of the lessons about sex that DA teaches. The one that season 2 of Hex teaches seems to be: have sex with the boy and completely lose all your power AND turn him evil.
Nice.

A really awesome murky green hazel, yeah. Blue green? I don't think so. I will have to do more research. Because I am a giver.

It's a good thing I don't watch it for the plot. Actually, why do I watch this show? It's like crackfic but with pictures.

I don't want to say I hated the finale of SG1. Except I did. I really did.
But ending by going through the gate rocked. And Teal'c got a final, "Indeed."
Yep, that's what I liked about it.
Oh and the thank you thing after it was over. Because I am a great big sap and that gave me chills.
Okay, SGA now. Um, wasn't Jewel Staite a Wraith? Isn't?
It's sad when Hex makes more sense, really.

ita, there's a Teyla moment (would that she'd had several more as something more than scenery) that I think you will love.
Also, some fairly good SFX that were quite entertaining in an action-movie sort of way.
