Well yeah, because they were all still into the whole TNG everybody gets along and is very calm in a crisis. Born to be mild. So glad they went in a different direction later on.

They were also trying to avoid comparisons with TNG and Picard, saying at the time that they didn't want 2 leaders of the shows with bald heads.

At least, that's what they said in official interviews. I thought it was bunk. But they definitely made up for it later.

I am loving the Jack & Harry show that is Paradise Lost. About halfway through.

ETA: OK, woah. Now it's getting all weird and trippy.

Awww, Teal'c comforting Sam. So sweet.

I'm just having my own personal watch-n-post. Don't mind me.

Major tone shiftage in this ep. Oh, but now they're back, it seems.

Awww, Jack lurves Harry. The End.

I do like the Jack-and-Harry show. It's almost as much fun as the John-and-D'Argo show. But it doesn't have rock-paper-scissors.

I appear to have told my Tivo to tape something other than the second half of the two-parter which introduces Anubis. Woops.

And I missed the first 20 minutes of Ultraviolet as well. I really need to keep a closer eye on my To Do list.

It's almost as much fun as the John-and-D'Argo show.

Which I am so going to be watching again soon. Yay, me.

I caught the very first minutes of Ultraviolet, but I dunno what it is. But then I remembered that someone was talking about it in this thread as being very good. But then I got distracted. It looked ... not current (not that that's a problem). Is it an old show, or is it just the look they're going for?

Daniel and Jacob snipe at each other over the radio, then Daniel runs off without killing any goa'uld whatsoever. They go back to the planet, where Shit Has Gone Down, and crash, allowing Daniel to be snippy about the cargo ship's lack of seatbelts. Meanwhile, SG-1 plus Elliot/Lantash run away from the bad guys until the meet up with Jacob and Daniel. Elliot/Lantash, who's dead anyway, takes the nasty poison and sets it off once Teal'c and Jacob are out of range, thus killing many many Jaffa. Before he does this, Lantash talks about how much Sam means to him. All the other guys standing around wonder vaguely if they could take a Buffyesque approach to the whole goa'uld problem and just get them all to fall for Sam.

Presumably they then walk through a sea of bodies on their way back to the Stargate, but we don't see that bit.

ETA: Oh, Anubis! Right. Osiris says "hey, I'm working for Anubis! Let him back into the club!" The goa'uld say okay. Then they all eat some live symbiotes. The end.

Heh. I like Stargate According To Katie.

t snickers I found it touching both Martouf *and* Lantash lurved Sam. (Unlike the whole Anise/Freya deal.) Even Martouf's *symbiote* was all about nobility and pining. Poor Martouf. Poor Lantash. Poor Elliot. It was a pity fest.

You forgot about the part where the entire viewing audience went into convulsions of laughter at Daniel's costume. With the... metal plate thingie and the wads of rolled-up bandages on his arms. Or was that in the first part?

Well, it was in both parts, but I figured Suela had already hit the convulsions of laughter the first time around, so I didn't need to mention it.

(One of my favorite heard-second-hand conversations ever: FAN A: And this is the episode where Daniel goes undercover as a slaveboy to the goa'uld. FAN B: Seriously? Like, in canon? This is the best show ever! FAN A: Yeah, well, you haven't seen the outfit yet.)

Wait, Last Stand also has that creepy scene with the slave who really, really wants to be a host, right? That was a pretty good scene, actually.

Don't we get to spend quality time with Daniel's shoulders in these two eps?

Well, kind of. But the armbands! Man, I just can't take it seriously.

There are components of the show for which I discard seriousness.

Primarily, those involve Daniel or Teal'c's upper body.

I will take any excuse, be grateful, and wish for more.
