The scientist who got into the shrieking match with Weir -- figure he'll live out the season?
God, I hope not. I want his last words to be "Hey, what's this button do?"

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

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
So. Andromeda. Which I am not watching, but I just ran across a couple of links to pictures of a character they're introducing next year. Apparently she's going to serve as the ship's avatar while Lexa Doig is pregnant.
I just about hurt myself laughing. Oh my God. The little flared sleeves! The shoes!

Hey, isn't that whatshername from Josie and the Pussycats?
How much did I hate the "No really, she's tough" altercation between Weir and Dr. Geeky Stereotype #4? A lot. A real lot.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
They're way too high up to see the shark, aren't they?
It's funny -- I've noticed a bunch of people blaming Sorbo for every damned thing (and I'm one of them, pretty unrepentant), and people explaining how little control he actually has over what's happening.
Hmmph. Bunch of crap.
Wait -- does this mean Daniel Jackson is going to be a daddy?

I was reasonably cheered by the Aquarium episode -- it's not perfect, but it's tending in the right direction, and it's reasonably enjoyable while it's doing so
And, yes, what Katie Said, compared to the shakedown cruise that was the first half of the first season for SG-1, this is very good indeed.

So, you're saying Lexa's baby is his fault?

It was the smug smile on his face. He really does need to have a tragic gate accident.

Art Crawl!!!
You mean that the picture is of the person
in costume?
That's appalling.
I did notice the Robert Hewitt Wolfe has a production credit of some sort for The 4400.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Dr. Geeky Stereotype #4 is not likely to undergo the transformation that is happening to Geek Prime, Rodney.
OTOH? I kinda liked Weir's smackdown of the death ceremony. It is a nice contrast to every other SF show that wants to spent a lot of time thinking up rituals for the primary culture to bend over backwards in honoring.
Many time I wonder "but what about *their* traditions?"
Which starts up the whole "diversity vs melting pot" balance argument, so...never mind.

My thoughts exactly.
I am growing inordinately fond of McKay. He's delightfully unheroic, even when saving the day.

They should have come up with a more compelling alien argument. When it came up in DS9, I thought they always did a pretty interesting balance between Bajoran mysticism and Starfleet pragmatism (easily balanced by the mockification of the Ferengi). I just watched Rapture where Sisko gives it all over to the Prophets, despite knowing they're aliens and not gods. Worf and Nerys are totally supportive of him following faith, but everyone else despairs that he isn't being rational.
Weir just needed to tell him that AlienChick had obviously made her own call on this one, and was busy supporting the fight for life.
