Wash ,'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
Heh. I loved the young O'Neill like pancakes.
Right now, I'm watching the episodes with the Tolan and Nareem. Mmmm. Nareem.
Ahem. Anyway.
If I had to pick my very favorite regular, it would have to be Daniel.
Imagine my disappointment that Shanks' new show is, so far, so bad.
He did do a great turn on "Endgame", a series I was sad to see canceled. I think you can still catch it on Hulu.
If I had to pick my very favorite regular, it would have to be Daniel.
I liked Daniel well enough, since so much of the first seasons is his show, but I felt he got smug after season 6, and basically his character arc stumbled to a halt after his return. After that he just seemed to be treading water, since he'd been positioned as The Seeker, and seemed to run out of things to seek.
(He was also damned hard to write, I found--much harder than O'Neill.)

I can't disagree.
Though, I did like him in the episodes where he was an apparition. When he carried the Lifeboat souls. When he held Vala when the Or'i were torturing her. When he yelled at Vala for teasing him because she was bored.
Um. Well. I guess I am a bit of a fan.
I liked Jack for the RDA factor. He was my first celebrity crush, back in his General Hospital days, and I've enjoyed watching him through much inconsistent writing and questionable hair styles (*cough*MacGyver*cough) ever since.
I adore SG1. Jack is the best.
General Hammond is by far my favorite of the SG-1 characters, but of the main four I think Daniel is the best. I'm not at all fond of Shanks, but he's just great in that role.
By contrast I don't think it's possible for me to love an actor more than Ben, but Cam Mitchell only occasionally inspired affection from me.
Weirdly, I've just come upon an alternate universe episode that I don't actually remember. Given that I pretty much have the eps memorized, this amuses me. Perhaps I'm in my _own_ parallel universe.
Jack's a peach. It does crack me up that various characters are consistently contrary about things like pronunciation. It's a neat quirk of character building and directing.
Example: O'Neill insists on calling the Snakey folk "Gooolds"...like the mustard...while it seems the 'correct' pronunciation is "Go-Ah-ULd." I'm pretty sure he says that word roughly 10,000 times and never wavers.
And Bra'tac? Rules. Period.
Bra'tac is awesome. It was sort of horrifying to see him in the pilot of Continuum as a terrorist mastermind, responsible for the deaths of 30,000 civilians.
You just nailed why I don't watch that show. I was thrilled to see him working, but couldn't reconcile the characters.
(Plus, it's massively derivative and uninteresting to me.)
