So, is it my imagination, or did everyone in the credits except Don Davis get the episode off?
She growls?! You made her so she growls?!

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Devane played Kennedy in The Missiles of October.
Really? Ha! I didn't know that.
Not your imagination, Emily.

And they probably only had to film Davis one day, at that.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Possible season 8 spoiler for SG1: It seems the producers are hoping to bring back Harry *and* Jack 2.0--for the same episode.
Could be hi-larious.

Whitefont: I saw that. God, I hope it's true. 'Cause how much fun would that be? A lot, that's how much.

It's a remora, dimwit.
I thought that Jack was just telling Maybourne what he wanted to hear, since he was not doing so well, having just been shot and received whatever first aid Jack was capable of. My guess was that he was dying, and Jack wanted him to die happily.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Having never seen the show, I'm just amused by the notion of a villain named Kinsey.
His super-evil-power is to make people sexually attracted to whatever gender they weren't attracted to before.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
God, I love "Shades Of Grey." Mostly I hate those sting eps where the truth is concealed from some of the major players to make sure their reactions are appropriate, but this one just hurt because Jack was so mean, and they all took it so badly, and Jack's all grim and determined and wearing the hat, and his "I'm back!" is so indicative of his reluctance to talk about the messy things and make apologies.
Adore. Not sure which is my favouritest ep, but this is top 5.

I have a plan.
Saw it (Shades) for the first time yesterday, though not all the way through. Which is really frustrating because what I did see was really good.
'Inauguration' on the other hand... well what can you say about clip shows? William Devane was absolute coolness so it's got that.

what can you say about clip shows?
Unconquerable Man, Andromeda, by Zack Stentz and Ashley Miller.
I've never seen ME do a clip show, and I'm curious about their potential approach, but Zack and Ashley took the clips and reused the history in such a way that you couldn't tell past from present from what you'd already seen. It wasn't flashbacks, per se, it wasn't sitting around and talky meating about the past.
It was really good, and made me want to go back and watch all the episodes clipped, and then watch the ep again.
William Devane and Lt Fancy were great last night. Kinsey needs to fall down a flight of stairs. Picardo was picking up. He's gruff and vinegary, but at least he's aiming it in a less annoying direction.
I don't believe in oversight, so much. Well, in theory. But I don't care about the public's right to know about missions whose end is (clearly, to me) best served by secrecy. And the whole "Sure, they saved the world but ignored orders" dances around the point of OF COURSE they saved the world. It's their show. It's what they do.
It ain't the Jossverse.
