Heh. I did the same thing. The big difference was that the fight ended way sooner.
Gimme some milk.

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

Overthinking the prop and set designs for the new BSG is a dangerous endeavor. Because the choices they've made in design, costume, etc, are very clearly not meant to represent their reality, but to evoke a certain sensation of reality in the viewer. They do very well at evoking this sensation, but because (in this case) it's a bit of the whole being greater (or at least different) than the sum of its parts, if you start thinking too much about the specific parts, the "sensation of reality" stops making sense.
Besides, if you start poking at it too hard, you start having to ask why every single piece of paper in their entire society comes with the corners cut off at a jaunty angle.

Note to self: Never put Nutty in charge of your ragtag fleet. It brings out her worst dictatorial urges.

So with the big accident at the beginning, hysterical laughter was probably not the intended reaction, right?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
ita, I was thinking the same thing, all through the episode. My fix was that Daniel was thinking "What Would Jack Do?", and then doing that.
Sean, they had a president who used to have problems with paper cuts, and made a law to help prevent them.

Just at a guess? No.

Best. Fanwank. Ever.
Hi Abi!

Hi, Sean! I get to see Emma in a few minutes!
I learned Post-Creative Rationalization at an early age. It's a gift.

See, I'm the opposite on the cancer thing. I actually really enjoy seeing an "advanced" civilization that hasn't conquered all diseases. It seems like most shows want to just assume that all that stuff gets done. Those things are very complicated problems to solve, I think much moreso than things like space travel.

But...it's the same treatment we have. I'm ok with not a cure, but that it's obviously what we have, just with different words, irks me.

Oh, my. RDA as I've never quite seen him before.

Swapping Jack in would work really well, actually. Except he probably wouldn't have let Vala take over the ship to begin with. He's pretty tough that way.
Speaking of which, has SG-1 done a "Die Hard" episode? I see "The Eye" as SGA's version, but I'm coming up blank on an SG-1 version. Jack, with gun, sneaking around and taking everyone down while he mocks the baddies over the radio...
