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...

t goes to bunk

That RDA picture made me laugh so hard. I was glad to see there were glasses, so I could appropriate it.

Except he probably wouldn't have let Vala take over the ship to begin with. He's pretty tough that way.

Oh, god, had SG1 been in control of the ship, there'd have been no episode. That was the resounding feeling I had as they lost control.

It's more than that, it's that most of the customs and culture are very, very much particular to the contemporary US, or the mythology of it. Being ladylike is indicated by high-heeled shoes, conservative suits with skirts, and pearl earrings. Women wear black and Jackie-o half-veils to funerals. Military funerals involve folding the flag over the dead person's coffin. Prisoners wear orange track suits.

I've tried to give up on tracking this, because the culture is never going to be sufficiently alien for me, and either I give up on the show or I accept this as one of its characteristics and move on.

Micole is me, here.

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.

But what else would they have, if they haven't cured it yet? Cancer is what it is, you know?

You know, I'd much rather the at the BSG people wear stuff and work with stuff that is very analougous to what we wear now, rather than have them were freaky jumpsuit things as in Star Trek.

I enjoyed SG1 -- it's fun to see Claudia Black and I, admittedly, don't take SG1 at all seriously.

Hey, I watch Andromeda too. Well, I gave up on it and then started again.

They have actual avatars of celestial bodies in Andromeda. (Seriously, if Trance can be a sun, I don't see how the genetic copy of Drago whatisface being the the son of Tyr is that much of a stretch.)

Seriously, if Trance can be a sun, I don't see how the genetic copy of Drago whatisface being the the son of Tyr is that much of a stretch.

The who with the what now?!?!? (I haven't been paying attention, even when I've had it on.)

I used to like that show so much.

(Seriously, if Trance can be a sun, I don't see how the genetic copy of Drago whatisface being the the son of Tyr is that much of a stretch.)

And Beka being the mother of all Nietzscheans?

Please say you were just funning with me...

And Beka being the mother of all Nietzscheans?

Exactly.

Yes, Trance is a sun, she is in love with the moon - but they can never be together because that would put their planetary system all out of wack.

Also, Dylan Hunt is not only a "paradigm" -- i.e., some sort of being with a genetic predilection for time-traveling, he is also some sort of chosen protector of the avatar of the sun, i.e., Trance.

Umm, some of that was on the new episode as of last night. Should I have whitefonted?
