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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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.)

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

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?

JenP - Aug 30, 2004 4:04:14 pm PDT #7251 of 10000

I came in just for the end of the Nox ep, but I had never noticed that on previous viewings. Huh. No idea why gloves.

He's been hanging around with Jack too long? (And at some point I think Jack gave up the fingerless gloves, which is kind of a shame, I liked them.)

Either that or Shanks came down with poison ivy during filming? They were in the woods, after all.

Wait! These aren't MY pants!

They must be able to wrangle an offworld foursome

My mind went to a very wrong place at this point
