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!
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.
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.
(Edited over and over because I kept remembering details.)
Do we at least get to see Jack react to seeing Daniel dressed like that? Comedy gold.
He has no reaction whatsoever that we see, though he does get to see the outfit at the end of the episode. You know, that really is a shame. There could have been high-quality nonplussed looks.
Aha! Thanks, Emily. It's Jack that makes it for me -- so much so that I forget his setup for the face.
Story on Sci-Fi's Upfront.
That direction is apparent with "Five Days to Midnight," which stars Timothy Hutton as a man who finds out that he's going to be murdered in five days, but doesn't know by who. "Five Days" will premiere at 9 p.m. June 7.
"It's a true mystery thriller, but lives in the genre of Sci Fi," Hammer said. "It's trying to grow the channel and look forward in a way that is in the genre--but, in a sense, is bigger than the genre."
Stop it! Stop saying things like that! It's a big genre, dammit! For one thing, it makes no sense, and for another, if it's in the genre it cannot be bigger than the genre!
Augh.
Bonnie, Bonnie, Bonnie. Stop digging the hole. Really.
I think SciFi is embarrassed by their name. Because as long as they're using that name, they're not going to get the audience they claim they want, which is casual viewers who don't think too much about what they're watching.
So I think they should change the network's name to something more representative.
I suggest Mike. I can see it now, The Mike Network, all regular-guy shows, all the time, is proud to bring you When Aliens Commit Plastic Surgery!
It could work!
See what else Bonnie's responsable for? Tenar's parents are dead.

Lurky lurky.
I'm sure Bonnie's not the one responsible for casting a white guy as Sparrowhawk.
Right?
Right?
