What is the best weapon in this application, is how the decision is made. I have to talk to the director of ?Icon?, because I?m not sure, at our battle zone next week, whether we?re going to be able to make SG teams arrive carrying P90s, or we may bump them up a bit to a heavier weapon, because it?s a full-on civil war that they?re coming into. We try to be as realistic as we can with the application.
Okay, that's really interesting, because what they did was give them NO weapons in Icon. They arrived with only sidearms, and it seemed very odd.
The business with the hat is funny. Specially made for RDA! Heee.
oh, to be an actor must be a very odd thing.
I hope there's hat in our future.
I have to believe that we'll get Jack offworld before the end of the season. I mean, really. It's Jack. SG-1 will get into trouble and he'll just have to go.

I assume they were talking about the combat team Sam led in at the end there, rather than SG-1. (Though I still agree with you that showing up completely unarmed at the beginning was unusual and perhaps unwise. Is that the only first contact situation we've seen them in this year? Because if so, is that indicating some sort of philosophical difference on Sam's part? Er, I mean, can we fanwank it to mean so?)

Heee.
I rather doubt it. But you're welcome to try.
Okay I've watched the first five episodes of Farscape S1. I'm not saying it's bad tv, but it's just not grabbing me. When do I get grabbed?
Later in Season 1.
Wasn't there a Farscape primer at some point during the campaign? Did it address questions like these, that generally come up with new viewers?

I think "DNA Mad Scientist" was probably the first really gripping episode of season one. It stays a bit hit or miss until the second half, when things get really good.

That would be awesome.
My problem right now is the gang has no direction. Nobody's in charge, they're not heading anywhere in particular, and if Crichton wants to get back to earth at all he sure ain't showing it. Basically they just float around waiting for bad shit to happen to them.
I figured the show must get better to have garnered the insane amount of fans and fan support that it has.

Edit: But beware spoilers. I think this was really designed for people who started watching mid-stream.
He makes a wild stab at getting home in the one that takes place on a desert planet. The problem, really, is that he has no idea how to achieve his goal, and nobody particularly wants to help him. Actually, S1 is the only season where home is a reached-for goal. It becomes a fear/byproduct in S3-S4, and I thought tended to be handled badly.
