Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Boxed Set, Vol. 1: Smallville, Due South, Farscape  

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 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.

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

Could Tanith come back too?

Speaking of which!

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.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

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.)

Art Crawl!!!

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.

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

Please ... do tell.

And Then Daniel Died. Damn you, Stargate PTB! Didn't you know? Daniel is the heart and soul of Stargate! You are evil, evil people who hate Michael Shanks! Also Sam's ugly, and evil, and she has stupid hair! (To be fair, that last bit has been true from time to time.)

(also)

Michael Shanks is a horrible, self-centered person for not renewing his contract! That bastard. What does he think, he has the right to go try other things if he wants? Besides, Daniel's an asshole anyway!

It was apparently ugly. I only caught the end of it, but you can still see occasional aftershocks, and there's still a really scary Danielite contingent out there which is the only thing that makes me wish I really liked the J/S, just to irritate them.
