I'm going to have to keep my eye out for that hug, Vonnie. I don't think it's one of the eps I ran to tape.
Jen -- I'd be flattered.
Riley: Maybe I should just let you rest. Buffy: You sure? I bet if you just lay down with me- Riley: Nothing you are about to say will lead to rest.

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

Witness shiny new tag. (I'm kind of proud of the attribution wording, if I do say ...)

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
As usual is the case when I watch the show, after "Into the Fire", I told myself, "What the hell, let's watch another one". So I'm watching "Seth", and in comes the head of ATF with whom the team butts head in the compound, and it's played by the same guy who reluctantly squired around Bregman and his crew in "Heroes". They had same guy play two different characters on the same show! That feels like cheating somehow.
Also, Teal'c just told his Setesh guard joke, and nobody laughed at it! Poor Teal'c. I thought the joke was pretty funny.

Loved that. And you have a good, good eye re: the doubling up.

The Setesh joke was hilarious.

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
Uh, I'm not sounding like those scary people in that salon article, aren't I?
No no, you sound happy and enthusiastic. Totally different vibe from Daniel Is The Second Coming Of Christ.

Remember, Seth is also Daniel's father from Gamekeeper.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
up there with the one Jack gives Daniel in season 2 opener ("Space monkey!". Aw.)
Awww!
They are awfully cute together.

Aeeiii. I did not know this. That strikes me highly wrong somehow.
I had fun looking at the character tropes in Gus' wiki last night, and they actually have an entity for this phenomenon: YouLookFamiliar. I know TXF did this with Nick Lea, who was a guest star on the show before taking on the role of Krycek, but last night was the first time I spotted this in SG.
I see that there is also a new entry for TheWoobie in the wake of Daniel discussion yesterday. I dunno--I always think of woobiefication with a bit of negative connotation, e.g. the fans are blind to the flaws of their woobie and would overract to the slightest hints of criticism, no matter how valid, about the character. Also, the infantilization implicated in the term kind of ooks me out a bit, like the fan in question wants to breastfeed and have sex with the character at the same time. Eh, what can I say? I just dislike fannish lingos in general.

As someone who has a couple woobies, I have no urge to breastfeed any of them, and I haven't yet met a character with no flaws. Okay, perhaps Zoe, but she's kinda the uber-anti-woobie.
