Hey, I kinda liked that. The shoulder squeeze was golden, the cavalry is always appreciated, and "That's SG-1" is going to make me miss Hammond so terribly much.
I'm just, uh, just feeling kinda... truthsome right now. And, uh... life's just too damn short for ifs and maybes.

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

Is he gone, gone? Or, might there be special appearances? I am sad. I adore DSD. Losing Fraser and Hammond. Sucks.

I thought the ship was going to blow, and we were going to lose chevron guy too.
Whew.

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
JenP: He's not going to be a regular next year. Whether he might make a guest appearance or two I don't know; it seems likely to me that he'd be in the season opener at least, but I haven't read anything one way or another.

Well, I thought the implication from Hammond's talk with President Hayes was that Hammond would become the vice president now that Kinsey'd got his weaselly ass fired. I fully expect to see Hayes from time to time in S8; ditto Hammond.
I totally bought both the Bra'tac and Hammond death fake-outs. They did good job selling the urgency of those moments. (Or I'm really naive.)

I thought the job that the president wanted Hammond for was to crew the Prometheus. Do the times match up for that?

I bought the Bra'tac death fake-out entirely. The bit with Jack healing his wound was a pretty big HSQ moment for me.
I wasn't quite as worried about Hammond. I didn't even think about the possibility of Hammond becoming VP. I did think it was way cool that he got to captain the Prometheus into battle.

I thought so too, ita. Though he should totally be VP. I'm up for that.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Any other member of SG1 can get with any other. Just not those two. It's not right.
Don't make me find recs.

OK, I've just rewatched the scene, and all Hayes said is, "Well, if you'll accept it, I've got another job for you." I was on the TiVo delay so I got the "Kinsey! Fired!" post here before I saw that scene, so I made the weird leap that George would become the VP (with a dollop of wishful thinking.) On rewatch, I think ita was right; the job was to head the mission on Prometheus. (Damn.)
