Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I enjoyed that episode, have to say, although I agree with those who say Jo/Jack has a lot more chemistry than Jo/Zane. I'm also worried that they'll screw up Jack and, uh, dry cleaning chick by making her seem whiney. I liked her so much at first.

So I think I need to rewatch the ending to figure out exactly how Stark screwed over Henry so badly. And I'm worried that Henry will get mad at Jack, not Stark. Methinks a mad Henry is a dangerous thing.

Oh c'mon! Comedy GOLD, right there.

oh, yeah. Cause you know that S.A.R.A.H. likes Allison the most.

they are well on their way there. Here's hoping they realize.

Zane's been featured in several episodes now and they apparently haven't realized that he's more of a tool than anything Henry uses to tinker.

I am leaving. You are about to explode. ~Teal'c, 'Talion'

But I wanted the house to get the hots for Carter. As little sense as that makes.

It would have required much handwavium (then again, this is new how?), but yeah, it would have been great fun.

I liked this ep, much better than last week's, which I surprised myself by disliking on pretty much every point. I think, actually, if I hadn't been so appalled by Jo turning into an insecure little twit in a fluffy white dress last week I might not have not been too bothered by the Zane subplot in this ep. I find the character smarmy and annoying, but it could work in a "Jo will set him right, and if not she'll kick his cojones out his ears" kind of way. Dunno -- Taggart never worked for me in that context either, though in his case it's the accent rather than the character that drives me nuts.

Or maybe I just object to the underlying premise that Jo is young and pretty and therefore *must* be unhappy without a man in her life.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What changed for Jo between last week and this one? Zane didn't change, and we didn't see her get over her dumbassed issue.

Liked the ep, don't even dislike Zane as much as many of you do. But the writing of Jo/Zane is leaving me stone cold.

I like Callie. She's talky, but it's so much better than them turning away from each other because of the mutually fueled misunderstanding of the other's interest.

You know, the bit where the door closes between them and they both lean on it and sigh wistfully?

Nah, she put herself out there and stood behind it.

Cool.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

What changed for Jo between last week and this one?

Nothing. I think we are objecting to the last two weeks of Jo/Zane. No chemistry between the actors, the characters are wrong for each other, and we really really like Jo well enough not to want to see her fall for that dick Zane. Also while it is not impossible for someone like Jo to fall for someone like Zane, they did nothing to make us believe it. I don't get the impression you disagree with any of that, but could be wrong.
