Huh. Well, next Monday they're doing a SG-1/Atlantis preview, which is supposed to be an hour long. Maybe someone got ahold of the Atlantis part early?

Thanks for the warning, Katie. Tivo doesn't know to record that yet.

Or... should I? I understand previous previews were spoilery as hell.

I'll probably grab and watch later, like I do with all the movie specials.

This is why we buy the machinery, right? To indulge the insanity ...

This is my plan. But I'm not much with willpower. I mean, I can easily not go where spoilers are. But, if spoilers are sitting on a tape in my VCR ... well, that's more like them coming to me. They might as well be chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream in my freezer at that point.

But I'm going to try. Either way, I don't really get too bummed by accidental SG spoilage (See that? Laying the groundwork to cheat even now).

Depends on how spoiled you want to be, I suppose. Last year they had clips from the first four or so episodes, along with a clip from Heroes, but they had a whole hour to work with. The commercials only show one clip from a new episode, and that's a behind-the-scenes shot, but... tough to know.

I'd watch it and let you know, but I won't be back until Thursday, so you'd have to live with temptation.

So I watched Lost City Part 2 again last night. And something caught me that I didn't realize on the first round. Downloading the Ancients' database into Jack's brain gives him healing powers? The Hell?

That's just weird.

Oh, and the Sam angst was way over the top. Most annoying. Still, it was nice to see Kinsey get fired. I do hope they give the man an agenda other than power-hungry maniac, because his shtick is getting old.

Well, if the Asgards can remove the excess lairning from Jack's brain with a wave of their hand in "The Fifth Race," perhaps the ancients developed abilities that could heal...

It did take a lot out of him to heal, tho.

Plus? It's Stargate. They talk to people on other worlds without a translating gimmick, they manage to almost always hit during daylight, and the gates are almost always in remote areas.

Just once I'd like to see them come out of the gate and see an entire tourist trap town surrounding the gate. Stores filled with gate-derived merchandise for them to gawk at might be cool.

Jack picks up a key ring for himself, and an extra for Jack II.

While we're at it, I think Jack II should come back for a few eps.

Which Jack II are y'all thinking about? Robo-Jack or Teen-Jack?
