I hate to break it to you, oh impotent one, but you're not the big bad anymore, you're not even the kind of naughty.

Agree that it felt very un-Stargate. Prometheus (the ship) kind of feels that way to me in general. It's the team interaction that feels Stargate to me, and that, again, was lacking. And actual gate travel and such. Maybe I'm just change-resistant. It's... they're usually the ones hi-jacking the alien ship, not trying to rescue an earthship (because, earthship?) from an alien. Or somthing like that. I don't know. It was weird .

She's very pretty, though. And, for that matter, so is he.

But, and here rests my fondest hope, I like to think that bringing Ben Browder in next year will mean a return to a team. That travels through the stargate. Together. And fights crime. Ya' know??

I really don't think I ask for much.

ETA: Not all of that needed whitefont.

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

I thought the episode where Sam was on the Prometheus, hallucinating, was the Stargatiest of the ship eps. Otherwise they do tend to the Trek.

Yep, because even though they were figments, the ol' gang was there. And interacting. Plus, OK, I'm a bit of a sucker for a good Jack/Sam moment.

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

The reason I can't reach the position that PU was a parody is that I don't know what it was a parody of.

It seemed like a parody of Farscape to me, with Daniel as John Crichton, and CB going back and forth between Aeryn and Chianna. I mean, in addition to the homage to the pilot ep, the whole having everything go to hell while trying to make a deal with odd looking aliens happened pretty much every other episode on Farscape. How many times have we ever seen totally random aliens in the Gateverse?

Anyway, I enjoyed the hell out of it, despite the ease with which Hammond lost the ship.

Fic posted. Thunder Follow Me, Daniel and Janet and Goa'uld and Jaffa and a Stargate version of The Great Escape. But no Steve McQueen. R for violence, P for plot.

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

SG-1 S9 casting spoiler: Amanda Tapping will appear in 15 of 20 episodes next year.

And for the rest, we get CB. I guess. Although I wouldn't mind seeing them together. The snark levels could be pretty high.

Sorry about that.

Hmmm, maybe it's the doubleposting that put me in the top 10 posters of '04.

And it looks like you've been thinking about it a lot.

Ah, shucks, sumi edited.
