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.
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.
I was just thinking that!
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.
I was watching the S1 episode with Jack's wife in it the other day, and couldn't help noticing how much she (Harley Jane Kozak) resembles Amanda Tapping.
Yeah, there's debate as to whether that's intentional. I wouldn't be surprised, frankly.
I just watched episode 13 of Stargate and I admit, it was fun. So I'm not as mad at them as I'd been thinking I'd need to be. It was more in line with
old school Gate,
and not just because
(ita gets all buttery and weak) Jack went offworld.
It was a rhythm thing. Unfortunately the mental refrain of
"Does Wayne Brady have to choke a bitch???"
was very loud, and somewhat distracting. But added to his impact.
So -- fun, and now I have to re-watch the
Atlantis episode with the time travel and see if it's the same device.
Yay!
SG1 has a puddle jumper!
