I skimmed LJ for SG commentary, and I had no idea that Aquarium was being so enjoyed.

I just think they all act dumb, even though I enjoy many of the characters. Which is an achievement, I guess.

Overall, I wasn't particularly drawn in to either show last night, although, always a pleasure to see Thor. And I do enjoy the McKay/Sheppard repartee. I see they're trying to do something about Teyla's hair. Don't think they've quite succeeded yet.

Morning all. I'm right there with you JenP. I was mainly put off by both episodes because I felt terribly, terribly mislead by the preview content. Although what happened is basically what the previews said would happen, it's not what I thought was going to happen because of what they showed. Know what I mean?

In my own personal fanwank, I was kind of hoping that the clone made on earth was actually a slightly better quality than the Asgard were making, due to process or something like that.

ION, I have XXX on TV and for some reason, I'm not changing the channel yet. What is wrong with me?

Porn? Oh, wait... xXx. That movie. Can't recall anything about it.

Stupid title.

As far as Stargate previews? I was wondering if the WB promo team took over Stargate publicity...

RE the Farscape promo: I'm wondering if Grayza somehow has Aeryn's baby removed and implanted inside herself. What got me thinking that is the clip where the alien chick tells Aeryn, "You will never be reunited with your baby."

You know, in the SG-1 ep with the big ship that is destroying a planet so that the beings on the ship can have a home again ... but they happen to be about to destroy a village of people who are already there (and can't leave because ... I forget), even though the ship thought the planet was uninhabited (or, I could look up the title, right?) ... anyway, there's a scene in this ep, where Jack ultimately decides they need to blow up the ship to prevent it from destroying the village, and he has to order Carter to make a bomb to do it and argue with Daniel about the right and wrong of what he's decided.

Yeah, that scene. It is really quite affecting. RDA really, really sells it (especially when Jack says, "Give me another choice," when Daniel is arguing with him and doesn't actually have any other options to offer ... because there's just a hint of, "No, really, I mean give me another choice, please.") as do MS and AT. Color me impressed. RDA really kind of kicks ass, performance-wise, in this ep.

Scorched Earth.

And yeah, I like that episode. He really doesn't want to do it but given the choice between death for hundreds of real existing human beings and thousands of frozen not-living embryos, well... he chooses the living.

RDA really does well when he's caught in those ethical binds.

Scorched Earth. Yes. Thank you.

Kind of makes me miss the team on a mission format of the eps of yore. sigh Ah, well.

They must be able to wrangle an offworld foursome before the season's done. Please?

I'm pessimistic (without evidence, just extrapolating) about RDA being around for another season. I want it all -- now, if not forever.

I expect that you will find it unsurprising that I am in complete agreement with your hopes for this season and, sadly, expectations for any future ones that may happen. (Or, the more fun way to write it ... ITA with ita.)

Speaking of Stargate eps from tonight...does anyone think it's strange or did I miss an explanation of why Daniel is wearing glove all the time in the episode with the Nox?
