D'oh. Martouf.
I'm just obsessed with the cloning thing, for some reason.
Dumb show.
You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
The reaction of the SG fans on LJ this morning was funny.
"Martouf was there. But as usual, he died."
"Well, you know. It's Martouf. He would die. Poor Martouf."
It was also brought to my attention that the blond genetically-engineered associate was played by the actress who was the kick-ass goth-girl from the S5 The X-Files episode, "Kill Switch". Man, I love that episode.

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
It's sweet that everyone likes Martouf, because man, if there was ever a character who did not conform to the fannish "be snarky and cynical, dammit!" credo it's Marty. So earnest and dorky! Poor guy.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

It cracks me up that everytime we start talking about the character, it invariably ends up with "Poor Martouf!". Sad-sack, pine-y Martouf with his goofy smile and wooden-pole demeanor. Poor guy. (See?)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Yeah, but he's got a great smile.

Sigh. I miss him. Interestingly, well, to me ... on the commentary for Summit and the Part II of it (can't remember name), they were discussing the fact that they had tried to bring back JR Bourne, but he was unavailable. So, that's how they ended up with Lantash in ... the kid, whatshismane. They were actually gonna not kill Martouf (uh, again), but then when they had to change the story because of the actor's unavailability, they ended up killing Lantash. Bummer. They were going to use the old "no one ever really has to die permanently in SF, and, damn, that's a mighty resilient symbiote thing" as an excuse to bring back Martouf, but, alas ...

Huh. Interesting--I wonder how they would have pulled it off? After all, the guy was zatted twice, and Sam did the whole dramatic pietà posture at the end of Divide and Conquer. It never occurred to me that he might have lived, so bringing him back in S5 would have been a big retcon.
I liked the kid in Last Stand. Too bad he had to bite the dust. I also liked Lt. Haley a lot--I wish they'd bring her back.

Seriously, there is no one else who could've delivered that "well, I'm sure they wouldn't have, you know, dropped a bomb on us without good reason. Oh well, let's get ready to die!" line from The Devil You Know without making me want to smack them. But Martouf says it, and I'm all "aww! You're such a dork. Guys, make sure Marty doesn't trip over something or get lost on the way out, okay?"
