Sad-sack, pine-y Martouf with his goofy smile and wooden-pole demeanor. Poor guy. (See?)
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?"
I wonder how they would have pulled it off?
They pretty much admitted, "Yeah, it wouldn't have made actual sense exactly, but we wanted him back, and we think the fans did, too, so WTF?" Which, for me, would have been so true ... Stargate is definitely one of those shows about which I'm happy to say continuity be damned if it gets me, say, more Martouf time. It's like fandom without me having to get obsessive about detail and, you know, actual sense-making (even within the context of the show). Kind of why I love it. So fluffy and yummy and non-stress inducing.
ETA: Which is not to say that I don't appreciate continuity when they get it right. I surely do. I'm just saying ... Martouf. And, "fluffy and yummy," are compliments. I am in no way dissing it. I love it, and pet it, and call it George. Really.
Could Tanith come back too?
Could Tanith come back too?
Hell, yeah. Firey crashes are no match for the Symbiotes of Perpetual Healing of Characters Fans Really Love.
Ooops. Cereal:
Speaking of which!
Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude! Cool.
So fluffy and yummy and non-stress inducing.
Heh. This is kind of why I like the show so much. I like it a lot, love it, even, but it's so... restful. Well, as long as you stay out of the barking-madness that is the mainstream SG fandom.
The main problem with Tanith was that we didn't get to hear Peter Wingfield's *actual* voice, which is one of the yummiest things about him. (OK, I admit to having a bit of a voice fetish, but still.)
So, will this be the all Methos movie?
Because I would definitely go to that.
I liked the kid in Last Stand.
Last Stand, that's it. Yes, I loved the kid from his first appearance in Whatchamajig with the test. I was happy to see him again, and
then crushed. I thought he was good.
I wasn't too fond of Haley, but I think she could grow on me. Actually, by the the end of her second appearance, she had a little bit.
