Sheryl, I think they're also running a couple minutes late because of the BSG flashbacks during Flash Gordon. I'd expect that will continue for a while.
This is not funny. This... this is a morality tale about the evils of sake.

Finally caught up with SGA. Well, if they had to write out Weir, that wasn't a bad way to go: she got to be smart and tough and sneaky, and she finally gave an order that Sheppard obeyed.
As for Sam's hair, I got nothing. You can have long hair, but I believe it has to be securely pinned back. But then SGA has never been good with this: Cadman showed up in the control room with her long hair loose around her shoulders, and she was a Marine. Besides, Sheppard's hair is hardly regulation, either.

Yes, well, in the commentary, they pretty much admitted that they had her hair down because they thought it was hot.

Though I wouldn't want to lose Sheppard's crazy hair either, so I guess that makes me a hypocrite.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Why didn't they dress her in a slinky negligee instead of a regulation uniform too, while they were at it?
At least with Sheppard, you have the excuses that (1) it's still too short to get caught in machinery or easily grabbed by an opponent (unless said opponent harvests sea urchins on the side); (2) the entire time he's had it he could have been stationed at the ass end of nowhere in Antarctica or in another galaxy—where he's been the highest military authority for all but about a day; and (3) the character has a history of rebelling against authority to the detriment of his career. Cadman would have needed what, two to three years of very indulgent COs BEFORE coming to Atlantis to grow that mane out?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
My VCR cut off just before the end of this week's SGA. Where is the Replicator fleet heading?
Huh. So did mine, and I completely forgot to ask. Shows you how much the ep stuck with me!
Sam's going back to SGHQ
Really? I thought she was being brought on to replace Weir.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That's what happened in the episode. The explanation is yet to come.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I'm actually glad they didn't "immediately" replace Weir with Carter -- it would have been too much, dramatically speaking, for such an important character to not be mourned. This way there could be more focus on the dramatic possibilities of Sam taking command, getting to know the team, et cetera.

Jessica, like ita says, they haven't revealed on the show yet that she's coming back (or how/why), but yeah.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Besides, she has to go back and tell jack she's going to be on the other side of the galaxy a bit longer this time.
That is if Jack/Sam is even addressed in the two movies. If Jack survives, and a whole lot of other ifs...
ETA: Pure speculation on the movies, and relationships above.

Moonlight seems like it is trying to be a younger, hipper Forever Knight. (All the characters seem relatively similar to me if one maps Nick Knight over to Mick, Janette over to Josef Konstantin, and Natalie over to Beth Turner... ok Janette / Josef mapping is a little thin, but you know what I mean.) I haven't decided if I like it yet, but I'll watch almost any show with vampires.
