Willow ,'Get It Done'
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.
Sam's disgust at what she has to do to win is enough for me.
I can see that (I got that you meant ep title, not character). The balance just tipped in the other direction for me in terms of overall like/dislike because of the character and the device of the purple smoke ... at least I think that's why.
ETA: Now you people are making me think I need to rewatch to see if I didn't give it enough of a chance. Well, it's coming up.
Oh! I just realized which S1 episode I like the least. It's Politics. 'Cause Kinsey + clip show = a world of yuck.
The character of Hathor, I take as high camp. You can laugh at her as long as you don't think too hard about Daniel getting raped and the fact that the wiggly symbiote-lings in the tubs are Daniel's kids. Ew. (Genetics? What frickin' genetics?)
Another S1 ep I love that doesn't get mentioned too often is The Torment of Tantalus. I love Ernest, even when he is naked and crazy. And the lights! So pretty. Plus, it's got one of the earliest Jack/Daniel conflicts at the end. It's all good.
ETA: Huh. Sabine just put up a multiverse ficathon challenge. Someone sign up and write me a SG1/DS9 crossover, in which Jack first encounters a trill, yeah?
as long as you don't think too hard
MmmHmmm. This is what it boils down to. I broke the cradinal Gate Viewing rule on this ep (and the actror didn't pull off the camp for me; I'd have liked to see, maybe, the woman who played Worf's TNG mate ... also played Paul's sister's partner on Mad About You -- I think it's the same actor, anyway. She would have killed in that role).
Love Tantalus ... Daniel's fierce desire to stay and learn at any cost and Jack snapping him out of it. And I'm sucker for long lost lovers reunited.
I have been thinking of Jack/Jadzia for a while, Vonnie.
Yup! Still love Cold Lazarus. I love how Jack loves.
I don't mind Jack playing dumb. It works for me (cf Rite of Passage), but that's hardly the same as RDA playing Jack dumb. That makes me grump.
You can laugh at her as long as you don't think too hard about Daniel getting raped and the fact that the wiggly symbiote-lings in the tubs are Daniel's kids.
Oh, yeah. That's one where I keep having to hit the off switch on my brain. Because, hey, look! Daniel's not traumatized, just kind of embarrassed! It's funny! Yeah.
Aww, bad news, ladies (& gents). Omar is getting hitched.
I hope that being newlywed doesn't mean that Omar will never recap Smallville again -- because that would be a crime.
But ... but ... I was saving myself for him!

Suzie Plakson? Hey, she's from Buffalo, who knew?
Carry on. I haven't seen 30 seconds of SG-1, but I am a Suzie Plakson geek.
