I think I recently read someone say she was zen with Stargate and I totally just copycatted.

That is likely to be me.

This was... okay. But you know? It really is Voyager. Sigh. Except now Shepherd's got his own version of SG-1 to lead on trips through the gate? Oy.

Loved the snark about "Chevron 1 encoded," though. That gets old very fast.

It's entirely too convenient that Shepherd can fly all the ships and they can READ and USE the Ancients' technology. I want someone to mistake a microwave for a bathroom, or something. I also want interpersonal difficulties, particularly if they're from a dozen nations.

And I think all the costumers should be fired, except for the one who bought everything off the rack at The North Face. She can stay. The rest must go.

Oh, and the Wraith? Silly-looking. Especially with their tendency to howl. Oy.

Oh, and the native guy that people recognized? He played a character in, oh, crap, the one last year with the bubble city where people's memories were getting written over, the name of which I cannot now remember. And I think he may have been in one earlier episode as well, but I'm not sure.

And then I want McKay to laugh, and laugh, and laugh...

Everyone looks good in fleece!

I'm afraid I cannot join in the Beckett love

's'okay. More for me and sumi.

I had a bit of the same reaction about Sheppard and

Cocky Man Shows Controlling Woman The Error Of Her Ways

during the balcony scene. But I don't think that's where they're headed, ultimately. I hope.

New Weir is slowly making me forget that I'd rather see Old Weir in the role. McKay was good, if played a little over-snippy while explaining the sheild collapse - but, hey, danger can make a person overly snippy. I like his exchanges with Beckett. And Weir.

Yeah, costuming. Oh well.

I see decent potential. I liked. At the base, there seem to be enough good intereaction pairings that I'll stay tuned to see what they can do with the show.

It's the zen thing, which phrasing I shall now properly attribute to 'Suela.

Cocky Man Shows Controlling Woman The Error Of Her Ways

Except it looks like cocky man is going to end up with fierce warrior woman. When he fastened the lost pendant around her neck, I was thinking that it her culture it was probably a marriage ceremony.

True, but the Controlling Woman doesn't have to be the same person as the Love Interest. I don't really think they're setting up the Weir/Sheppard interactions to be CM v. CW anyway, though. Seems like they're probably shooting for a more we can all learn from each other scenario. I am, of course, talking out my ... because how the hell would I know?

DX, I thought much the same thing. In fact, during that scene I said something along the lines of "you may now kiss the bride."

That would be funny if they went that route, but let things go a few episodes before Sheppard figured it out.

DANIEL: Crap!
JACK: What?
DANIEL: I meant to include "don't do anything even vaguely ceremonial-seeming with random offworld women" in the departure briefing.
JACK: Once! Once, that happened. Well, okay, twice. Three... and there was that time with the penguin creatures on -737... Well, okay, so, marriage is a good way to build rapport.

Train of thought on sci-fi death:

do you think Daniel Jackson's first body is buried somewhere and he could go visit his own grave?

That would be amusing -- he could go like on the memorial of his first death.
