Oh yeah, that's annoying too. Especially because so much Weird Mind Shit (tm) has happened to the characters over the time they've been in the Pegasus Galaxy, not to mention all the history back at the SGC....

Heightmeyer made me want to slap her silly. But Zelenka and his pigeons were adorable.
I'm with Sheppard in thinking naming the whale Sam was vaguely creepy.

Ten minutes in to the new Doctor Who and it's all historical clichés and bad American accents. I hope it improves. (I have to wait for my mum to watch the whole thing).

Woe to the fucking wicked.
My favorite was Shepperd being all weird about Rodney naming the whale Sam.
Heightmeyer annoyed me greatly, just all around, in this ep.
Loved Ronon & Teyla.
I really wish the writers and the sound people would talk more, because the "ghosts" sounded like whales. Most of these characters are meant to be smarter than me, how can they not realize that the voices SOUND LIKE WHALES!
On SG-1, I think the Ori are more philosophically or politically interesting than narratively interesting. The arguing theology is a nifty idea, and one I wish they'd brought up before, because I find myself thinking, "Just bleeding get on with it already. Bored now."
I read Vala's line "You can do more" to soldier dude as an allusion to Chrichton's "You can be more" to Aeryn back on Farscape. It would be cool, and actually narratively interesting, to tie that guy back into Teal'c and the Jaffa rebellion against the Goauld. Totally different character trajectory, in a lot of ways, but it could work.

This is what I'm saying! (I did not find it creepy.)

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Not creepy, given what we know of Grace Under Pressure. But a little creepy for everyone else in-show.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Fiona, I enjoyed the new Who episode. I do love Daleks, after all.

I missed the Stargate Mythology special. Does anybody by purest chance l have it on dvr who's willing to dub it for me? I'll pay postage. And possibly send bribes. Profile addy is good.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Fiona, many of those Dr. Who US accents seem close to what you'd get in your average US production--I couldn't imagine the horror if all 30s women had Tallulhah's accent, but it sure seems popular when reconstructing the era.
Are they plain not going to spend as much time off Earth as in the older series?
