Art Crawl!!!

Okay, I did not see last week's episodes of SG1 and SGA and just want to know what happened. Did anyone here watch them?

Thanks.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I was hoping someone with a better memory than mine would answer your questions, sumi, but I will take a stab.

1. Vala is imprisoned by her ex? (Played by Tyra's mom's ex)

Yes. Though he is having second thoughts abot doing whatever the Priors say. Wait, no, there was something about him going with her but he didn't, I think he let her go?

2. Is Daniel Jackson still captured by Adria?

Yes, this one I'm pretty sure of. We didn't see him at all.

3. What was the line that they couldn't cross?

I don't know what that means. Cam not being willing to take the device back to SGC and leave Sam to die? I tried to fnd the recap on scifi.com to see if I could figure it out from that, but I couldn't.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Yes. Though he is having second thoughts abot doing whatever the Priors say. Wait, no, there was something about him going with her but he didn't, I think he let her go?

He let her go at the very end of the ep (she ringed back to the village just before the Ori ship broke orbit), but I'm pretty sure she couldn't persuade him to come with her.

Oh, the one thing I loved about last week's ep but forgot to mention -- Merlin's casual "and so I set up a whole bunch of midieval villages all over the galaxy" thing. Finally, a reason why 99% of the inhabited universe looks like a Ren Faire!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Okay, I did not see last week's episodes of SG1 and SGA and just want to know what happened. Did anyone here watch them?

RODNEY HAS A BABY WHALE FRIEND NAMED SAM.

Er, that is, on SGA, all of the whales on the planet gathered around Atlantis to warn them of a "coronal mass eruption", i.e., a really bad sunspot that would basically irradiate the planet and cause mass extinction. The whales did this by projecting visions of the last time this thing hit the planet, so Our Team saw lots of shots of Ancients looking worried about things.

However, the whales' psychic projections caused bad side effects like headaches, nosebleeds, and death, so it took Our Team some time to figure out that the whales were trying to help, rather than harm them.

We learned that Zelenka used to raise racing pigeons.

Rodney is convinced that one of the whales that appeared is the same whale that led Sheppard and Zelenka to him in "Grace Under Pressure." He named it Sam (it's a boy's name too).

Sheppard came up with the idea of using the Daedalus as an umbrella, so they flew it close to the sun and blocked the radiation.

I am not making any of this up. I love my show.

Oh, right, she went and jumped up on Teal'c after they were un-disappeared. The Ori ship believes that the village and SG-1 were destroyed but they were dimensionally shifted and unharmed, right?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

RODNEY HAS A BABY WHALE FRIEND NAMED SAM.
A fish baby whale friend named Sam, even.

I am not making any of this up. I love my show.
Seriously. I have masses of SGA love right now.

Baby whale named Sam that is really a fish.

How can this be bad?

Oh, and Ronon is smoking hot. That helps too.

And Shep? The flirtage stopped being subtext, yes?

Woe to the fucking wicked.

And Shep? The flirtage stopped being subtext, yes?

As far as I am concerned, yes, but, well, I'm slashy that way (cf. House)

"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

Oh, just wait a few weeks until "The Game" and "Sunday" air.

While I often rail against the writers' shortcomings on SGA, at least I do get to enjoy it when their attempts at butching Sheppard up backfire and make him seem like the most obviously gay character on SciFi.

It can't just be due to Flanigan subverting the action hero stereotype, because these lines are on the printed page.
