I really liked 2010, but I wanted some kind of tag where Janet came back and said that the blood on the note was from Jack and Daniel--did Sam bleed on the note?

Jack seemed rather nonchalant about getting a blood splattered note from the future telling them not to go to a certain planet. I kept thinking it might spark Sam's curiousity. Or Daniel's. Not that Gen Hammond would let them go through see what was on the planet.

Duchovny did adopt a puppy, though at the time he explained that since he was getting the dog first, it was getting his favorite name, Blue, which left something like Fido for the child. And that would explain why he named his son Kydd. (Unless Kydd's middle name is Rokke.)

Have you seen Tin Man? It's pretty early in the series but it's fantastic.

Plus? The Mayor. IJS

I dearly hope you're talking about the Star Trek TNG episode here, so I don't sound like an idiot

Well, wait, now... I mean, it was a real moral crisis, but it wasn't actually "the super-evolved but technically dead alien things or the friendly earth-type people we're responsible for DIE!" The people could have gone back through the Stargate and relocated... again. Perhaps all going blind in the process. Which sucks, yes, but there was an alternative. As usual, it was an extremely difficult situation which SG handled... by having people take extremely simplistic sides. Argh. And the ending... yeah. Ass pull... to the X-TREME! But, eh.

They said there wasn't time to get everyone back through the Stargate, though presumably they could've moved the ones they saw. So if the ship didn't stop, a bunch of the to-be-blind folks were going to die, and the to-be-blind folks who were savable were being morons and refusing to leave.

I can't believe I'm trying to defend the logic behind Scorched Earth.

Unless Kydd's middle name is Rokke.

Gah! That's not even funny.

Stargate SG-1. Sorry.

Stargate SG-1. Sorry.

Rats. I was thinking ST-TNG, too.

Stargate seems to like using other people's titles. When ita mentioned she was watching 2010, I thought she meant the movie.

OK, so I'm in good company. All better now.

I tried that this weekend. Lord, it was boring. Much prefer the SG1.

I wonder if the writers do that purposefully with the titles in order to confuse fans - to force them to do that extra bit of typing online to make it clear what episode they're discussing. Like how 1013 wouldn't post the title of X-Files episodes in the broadcast so that fans would have to go look them up online or buy the books.

I finally watched last week's Smallville yesterday. Since I have choir on Wednesdays, SV and the beginning of Angel are on tape delay for me, and over the summer a lot of my SV oost left the building. I plead pretty pirates and, most recently, DVDs full of pretty Middle Earth folks as extenuating circumstances.

I was large with the MR lust for the past two seasons. TW is deeply pretty, but I have a thing for voices. And, in characters at least, Machiavellian potential. Anyway, last night I was watching, and there was a scene with TW lying on the ground with his eyes closed. The camera panned in closely and I could see where some eyeliner hadn't quite been blended in enough to be unnoticible. And wibble!thunk! I had a massive blast of TW, or really, rather, Clark oost. I had this mental image of Clark watching something like Velvet Goldmine over at Pete's, borrowing Martha's eyeliner, practicing the rockstar look, not quite washing it off thoroughly enough . . .

So that, plus the whole skinny-dip bit at the beginning -- hey, I always found TW pretty, he just didn't do that much for my hormones before -- made this one of my favorite SV eps ever.
