Yeah, Daniel Dies (again!) next Monday.
Maybe I've always been here.
Early ,'Objects In Space'
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 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

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
The question I had last night (and I was skipping back and forth between the ep and baseball, so I might've missed the explanation) was that if Daniel was worried that Osiris would recognize him, but why wasn't he worried that the Chinese Goa'uld would recognize him? They'd met before at least once.

God, yes. I mean, my GOD, who can take the Goauld seriously, when they all dress like that! It's a wonder the Jaffa (not exactly fashionistas themselves) don't just point and laugh whenever their gods show up. And yes, poor Michael Shanks. Do we at least get to see Jack react to seeing Daniel dressed like that? Comedy gold.
So was this the sequence that introduced Anubis?
They'd met before at least once.
They handwaved that, DX. Daniel has a poison ring with the drug that "Lt. Tyler" had used to convince SG-1 he was a member of the team. So Daniel poked Yu and Osiris with it, and they thought he was their slave boy Jaron.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I also think Mr. Genius didn't think of spiking Osiris until a little later. But he does mention the idea of Yu¹ recognising him.
¹: This may be my favourite Jack joke. I wish I could remember it completely.

The commentary has a bit about how much Shanks hated the foam ruber arm thingies -- they kept falling off, requiring re-takes out the wazoo -- so it's particularly funny when one of them falls and he just wings it across the room as he's tending to Jacob/Selmac once the cargo ship crashes.
I was regretting that I didn't recap for you last night, Consuela (very sleepy/brain fuzzy), but then I read Katie's recap and I see it was meant to be.
So was this the sequence that introduced Anubis?
Yes, except we don't get to see him yet, I don't think.

Ah. Missed that. Actually I like that. Stargate always remembers its continuity. Sort of like old comic books.

I'm old school. Like Happy Shopper.
As I've been ill off work all week, I have discovered that I can watch Stargate every day on Sky! This means I am now becoming re-obsessive about it, which considering I'd only just got non-obsessive enough to start considering selling all my old season 2/3 DVD's is not good!
I just wanted you know that I blame you all!

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Or possibly "five episodes until I die. Five episodes until I die. And then they'll never stick me in a stupid costume again!"
How fortunate for him that they did away with costuming altogether for his return from the Great Beyond.

Moreso for us.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola
ita, the joke was actually Sam's, I think. Essentially:
Jacob: "Yu will be one of the system lords at the meeting."
Sam: "I thought Daniel was going in as a slave."
Jacob: "The system lord Yu."
Sam (holding up fingers in classic 'tiny little' gesture): "Tiny little joke."
Jack (with classic 'this is sarcasm' face): "Funny."
They handwaved that, DX. Daniel has a poison ring with the drug that "Lt. Tyler" had used to convince SG-1 he was a member of the team.
That wasn't exactly hand-wavy. It was the thing that made the whole mission possible. Or are plot points hand-waving too? I'm never sure about the terminology.
I have always been very sad they canonically barred themselves from ever showing the goa'uld Isis (barring flashbacks or time travel -- ooh...). And I'd like to see some more of Bastet and Kali! That was just like teasing us!
But yeah, the slave uniform? sigh Missed opportunity there.
