And about the Jaffa, just seeing a tablet with old writing on it -- why would they instantly go running around in the jungle looking for people? I mean, Harry was there for two years, and never thought to do that. It was a forced dilemma.
I don't fancy spending the next month trying to get librarian out of the carpet.

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
But Jack! Offworld! Harry waving flowers at people! Guango! What can I say? I'm easy. (Except for bouncing hard off of Harry reading Ancient. The thing with the Jaffa didn't bother me at all, though you make a good point, but Harry? Since when?)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Katie -- what you said was what bothered me. I have no problem with Jaffa being able to tell it's Ancient, and scouring the area. But Harry actually READING it well enough to be 100% accurate in prophecies? That went too far.

Both of them bothered me, although what Katie liked, I liked too.

Goodness. Er. The Primer That Resulted From The Casting Spoiler has been linked further than I thought...

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Holy carp, Katie. You're famous!

Also, hilarious. Go me!

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Woo-hoo! Go Katie!
I saw the new SG episode. Yay, Harry! Not enough Harry/Jack interaction for my liking, but I'll take what little Maybourne I can get. I also liked Sam's little dig at Jack re. Alamo. "It's also on earth, sir." Ha! The pacing seemed a bit draggy though. Being a comedy episode, it should have had more pop and snap. Also, the entire episode felt very under-scored. Like, long, long patches of silence. Bizarre.
I also watched the latest Atlantis, "The Brotherhood", which I actually liked better than SG-1 episode (which seems to be a trend post-hiatus, sad to say.) It was cheesy at bits, I chortled at the antics of Indiana!McKay, and the usual spot on Shep/McKay interaction. My GOD, these two do good banter. It also had interesting B-plot back on Atlantis--and can I just say, I LOVE the Chech doctor, whose name escapes me right now. More of him, please! A real fun, solid episode, the kind of which we used to see in S1 and 2 SG-1.

Zelenka, Vonnie. And I also liked the way the locals shafted the team when they realized they weren't actually operating under the Ancients' authority.

Zelenka! That was his name. *heart*
Ditto what you said about the locals.
Uhm, why am I up at 2:30 am? It's 'cause I started watching my DS S2 DVDs (which I'd bought months ago and hadn't gotten to), then I got to "Juliet Is Bleeding", and whoa. This is show has such a light touch, when it does dark, it upsets me in a way that's out of proportion. God, poor Vecchio.
