'Bushwhacked'
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much anything else that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
I just wrote up this really long post about what i do and don't like about Stargate and then - poof - my connection dropped. God is laughing.
The highlights:
There was more but I don't have the energy.
Though I gotta say that near the end I was starting to feel pretty sorry for the documentarian.
Me too. Actually, I started feeling sorry for him pretty early on. I mean, he was legitimately jerky for much of it, but General Hammond started out pretty hostile before there was much of any reason to be.
Parts were really annoying. Parts were really funny. So while I don't so much respect the episode, I did really enjoy it. It works out, I guess.

Usually (in TV land) when a character garners that kind of hostility from the principals, they're pro-actively an asshole. SR's character just doesn't come across like that. Hammond just doesn't want somebody poking a camera around his hill and disrupting everybodys routines.
I like to believe the previews for part two are deliberately misleading. Yeh, there's the shot of Jack getting shot and all the follow-up. But the ceramic armor plating was planted earlier on and it's my guess that's what saves his life. Doc. Frasier on the other hand meets somebody who seems genuinely interested in her and then gets called away off-world? Might as well pull a red shirt over her and call her Ensign Frasier.
Adam Baldwin? Is a gawd.
they have spent the last four or so episodes bringing some closure to that question.
If "they" is Sam, then yes. If "they" is the creators, then I remain unconvinced. Sam decided to try and get over him. Jack's dealing with it.
That's all I'm sure of.

I agree, and it's destined to be a grevious crime to us, the SGC, and to the Documentarian Guy. Documentarian Guy dropped all his bluster and arrogance when he was listening to Doctor Frasier. It was evident in the actor's face and the character's change of tone and priorities. He was still snarky to the film crew, but his attention was now on Frasier. And who could blame him.
Speaking of the film crew, I give kudos to the actors and director for their last scene. It was evident that their military instincts picked up that what was going on was *not good.* You could see it in their faces and posture as they lowered their equipment, just like they picked it up from the sudden appearance of Serious!Jack.
Awww. That would make me sad. But, I guess that losing anyone that will "affect SG-1 forever" or whatever the promo said is going to be sad making. Yeah, and I'm pretty much not too worried about Jack. Or Sam, Daniel, or Teal'c for that matter. Then again, I'm unspoiled and naive, so what the hell do I know? You'd think ME would've broken me of my naiveté WRT character deaths. And yet ... NSM.
So sad that I missed the crime-show discussion way up-thread(We're not, you say) SA's tag makes me smile. SVU is like Smallville in a badness-but-can't-stay-away-way. Could Detective Benson be on the same deserted road with Lana, please? Her mom's dead too, and she Never Knew Her Dad, The Disgusting Rapist. They could have cry-face contests...I almost want her and Elliot to have The Sex so he could say "You know, Liv...Who's your daddy isn't supposed to be literal."
OK, Peggy Hill on KING OF THE HILL just officially crossed the line from neurotic twit to total bitch. However, nice seeing Bill having fun for once.
And it was short lived. Oh well. Peggy is still a massive bitch.
SG1 (maybe) question: I'm remembering an episode of a sci fi show where a paranoid conspiracy type stumbles onto the show's secret. Panicking and handwaving ensue, and the secret is preserved (kinda like Sight Unseen) but the ep ends with the paranoiac on a TV show trying to be heard, since they didn't buy the cover story. He seems pathetic.
Was it an SG1 episode? Does anyone remember it at all?
