Aw, shit. I knew what was coming but that still hit me pretty hard.
The thing is,
I really loved Janet. I loved her like I love the SG-1. I loved how fierce she was about the people she loved, her no-nonsense attitude, and how she kicked ass all around her infirmary to get her job done without giving a shit about ranks or politics. Whenever I think of the episodes in which any of the team member was hovering between life and death, it's Janet's reactions that come to my mind first; her heartbreak in "Entity", and how absolutely wrecked she was in "Meridian". Daniel's reminiscence of Janet during his 'death' in that infirmary scene brought that back, and it pretty much undid me. Man, I'm going to miss her. Wahhh!
Bregman really grew on me in this episode. The
O'Neill
fake-out was annoying and transparaent, but you know, I'm crying too hard to grumble overmuch.
The second time I watched it, I did tear up for Sam's scene with Teal'c. And Hammond's little voice-quiver at the end got me. And Daniel, Daniel broke my heart, poor dear.
I read the whitefont. Nooooo. Not that I am surprised, just that I won't see it for hours now. Sigh....
Geez. I'm crying like ... I wouldn't have expected to cry over Stargate. I had sort of pieced together who the deceased would be from some conversations here last week, but the way this ep was done, it still packed an emotional gut punch. They really did a phenomenal job on this one -- even the cliche
naming of the baby after her didn't bug. Plus, cute baby.
Kudos. Awwwww ... I really liked
Janet. I'm gonna miss her.
I teared up just about every place they were shooting for. And, you know, I'm sorry, but I'm a big sap, and I thought the
Jack and Sam scene
was very sweet. Oh, and Teal'c
with the hugging of Sam? Awwwww.
OK, I've gotta go watch something to de-sapify myself right now.

OKay, then, don't watch the MASH finale on Hallmark Channel.

Hallmark Channel? Hell, I don't think I could keep it together for a Hallmark commercial right now.
I was spoiled last Saturday by somebody stupid at the
Stargate
panel at Boskone, who said who died right in the middle of a question. The
entire
room yelled at her, btw. I would have liked to have been unspoiled, so that the suspense was actually suspenseful. Even so, it was a good episode.
Oh, my.
I can still hear Janet saying "Colonel?" to Jack when he tells her to let Daniel ascend. When Daniel was sitting in the dark corner of the room, it tore at me. When Jack said "c'mere" it tore at me. Every time Carter cried, didn't you just want to do what Teal'c did, and hurry over? The quickening of his step got me too.
I didn't cry until the
e roll call.
That was nice.
Pretty well done, except for the terrible
fakeout, which I refused to fall for, because NO.
They chose well, for impact, though.
edit: Okay, that was probably gratuitous whitefont.
What ita said. In spades!
I just watched the Smallville episode
Shattered.
Damn you Smallville for making me feel feelings!
How can a show be alternately one of the best and one of the worst things on television?
