Jars: Very wise. Whee, handwaving!
Though I'm now kind of sad, because "our" SG-1 never got home, did they? Jack and Sam and Teal'c died in the first uprising, and Daniel spent the rest of his life with bizarro world versions of his friends, and that great shot of the four of them walking off across the desert from Part 1 really was the last ever shot of Our Team. Not that the folks we saw at the end aren't equivalent, and all, but still. Sniffle.
I just saw Moebius part 2! Downloaded it last night, watched most of it during breakfast and... uh, I did the whole closed door/headphone thing to finish the rest of it. I am a bad, bad worker-bee. I should be spanked.
Overall, I gotta say I loved this two-parter. It *felt* like our team, Dorkverse and all, you know? All of them out-together, off-world--wait a minute, not off-world but ehhh, whatever, it felt like one anyway. And there was snark and adventure and plot and good, vintage Jack. I liked the smooching, too, which was low-key and cute and not some big angstopaloozza, and the whole "but I'm attracted to Daniel!" bit and Jack thinking Daniel was gay (hee!) was priceless. Plus, fishing with the team!
I do share with Katie a pang for the idea of our team, our ORIGINAL team, marooned and killed like that. AU stories always make me a bit melancholy for the versions of the team that never make it home safe and sound, which is one of the reasons I love that plot device so much. And GOD, this whole thing is such a great fic fodder. We can enjoy the happy!together! team in the episode, while making the marooned-in-past versions suffer as much as we want (while having teh hot-monkey!sex.) And in the second part of the AU, Teal'c doesn't even have to die because he still has the symbiote. Yay!
I haven't watched SG since it came back from hiatus, but I have to see this.
Do I need to see the rest of the eps or can I just watch those 2.
Katie, it would make me too sad to imagine our SG-1 either dead or trapped with weirdo versions of themselves, so I choose to ignore quantum physics and assume that as the timeline was changed, they never actually went back in time at all, and they came across a ZPM by magic accident. Yes, I realise this makes no sense, but it makes me happy, and that's all that matters. I just have to not think about it too much. Or at all. Plus, at least our team got to fishing together. With no fish. Which is something.
askye, the plot of Moebius is sort of related to Atlantis, so if you haven't been watching that, it might be a bit confusing. Stargate tends to be pretty good at excessive exposition anyway, so it shouldn't be too hard to follow, I don't think.
Hmm. You can watch just those two and have them make sense, but you will get somewhat spoiled for Reckoning and Threads.
Vonnie: Hee about the "off-world." I said exactly the same thing in my LJ post yesterday. And yes, there must be so much fic! Poor original!Daniel, man. His whole team killed, and then he's stuck with these other people who he's going to be recognizing out of the corner of his eye for the rest of his life, but they aren't really his friends, are they? *sniffle*
The smooching made me just about fall out of my chair laughing. Sparks! Explosions! Puddlejumper sex!
Jars: Hee. Also an option, yes.
Not reading the whitefont. I'll get there soon enough. Not reading the whitefont.
No, Matt, not a new thing...but, I mean, day-um
Moebius 2: Loved. I think ya'll already said most of it. Oh, and the "I lied" handwave is easy peasy. See, she meant, "I lied. Well, not about being attracted to Daniel. I lied when I let that imply that I, therefore, wasn't attracted to you. But we're about to be blown up, so I don't have time to explain the whole OT3 thing. Just kiss me." See?
Also, you'll pardon the shipper squee, but... Smoochies!!!!
And the whole gate ship thing. Too funny.
I just watched Friday's BSG. I won't say anything except I really should have given this more of a chance.
The one this coming Friday, right? Yeah, that was a good. And yay for chance-giving.
Aslo, for the record, I am hereby laying claim to Billy. Not that I've sensed any particular interest in that direction from any of y'all, but I'm just telling you now. (This announcement has nothing to do with the upcoming ep. I was just watching some deleted scenes they have up at Sci-fi, and it reminded me how adorable I think he is.)
