Season Ten

Go To Episode

Flesh And Blood

New Stargate on the tv! I’m worried that I’m all rusty with my fringedwellings now.
Damn. I'd forgotten about Vala. Now I'm all disappointed.
Oooh, I'd forgotten about the superkawoosh. That's cheered me up immensely.
Yet again, another woman giving birth on tv who doesn’t seem to sweat or bleed. I’m pretty sure there’s more to it than just yelling at the midwives.
You know, that baby will only lead you to victory if someone is pushing the pram she’s laying in.
Floating freely in space surrounded by debris must be the very definition of demoralising. Poor Sam! I had to entertain myself for a few hours this summer while waiting for Izzie to arrive on holiday, and it’s no fun even with books and an iPod. I ended up singing to myself. We should have had footage of Sam quietly singing to herself until someone managed to do something rescue-related
The “I think” indicates that Cameron isn’t sure, but we are all convinced of Daniel’s survival – that weeble gene just keeps on going. With Daniel, whether he was blown up is entirely unconnected as to whether he's actually dead.
Sam gives a very precise approximate answer there.
“Any chance you can take on a few people?” “Well, not unless they’re armed, no.” It's a shame that even in Season Ten Teal'c continues to trust people so obviously treacherous.
The people who build these ships must wonder whether there's a point.
That's not the most subtle subtle aside anyone's ever attempted
Is that the same bed she gave birth in? Urgh. I hope someone changed the sheets.
That’s... older. And freaky. Kill it! Kill it! On the other hand she's neatly skipped the sleepless nights, breast feeding and nappy-changing parts of the child-rearing process. I'd be quite pleased by that
If there's one thing more irritating than Vala, it's a small child related to Vala.
The Jaffa wouldn’t have a word for Supergate, because it's only just been invented, so why did they bother to make up one instead of just adopting the English word?
It's nice to know the ship has lots weapons and life support but someone, somewhere still has sandwich-making capabilities
I'm getting confused with all the Asgard. Is that Heimdall or Hermiod? I don't think it's either of them... They should be issued with little name badges and coloured t-shirts so we know which one is which
How many times has Teal’c been tortured gratuitously? Poor Teal'c, he's devoted his whole life to ensuring he didn’t get tortured by that thing again, and now allies are using it on him.
This isn't Sam's best day. "No! Just leave me hanging in space! I'll be fine!"
I do like their little red tank tops.
I don't need to know about Cameron's sweat
Activating the Rings is a fairly standard means of escaping certain death for Daniel.
I forgot all the Russians died! *mourns Russians*
Daniel, despite his weeble gene, also has the “frying pan to fire” genetic anomaly and so has managed to ring aboard the ship full of people trying to kill him. Bless.
He ended that sentence with a preposition!
Didn’t they used to be the IOC? They did, but overseeing SG-1 and running the Olympic selection committee was becoming a bit taxing
There’s also no guarantee that you could prise Atlantis’ ZPM from Rodney’s cold, dead hands either.
What are those women doing?
Also she must be going through a ridiculous amount of clothes
"They call me..." No one is ever going to be able to spell that.
"You think that by naming me..." "I was rather hoping so, yes."
"As much as your human brain can hold" would sound rather like an excuse for not telling me everything. I'd be insisting they write the rest down
The Ancients did give us naked Daniel, let's not forget that. “What have the Ancients ever done for us?” “Straight roads, aqueducts, education, sanitation...”
And possibly some of the women...
Has Daniel had to lie quietly under the bed while those two had distracting sex?
Has Christopher Judge lost weight in his face?
Why do they want Tul'ac? (Stargate has been away so long I've forgotten where to put my apostrophes!)
It's not so much believing, as not wanting to be proved wrong.
“You don’t know him like we do,” says Sam confidently. “Even when he dies, he comes back. His nickname is Boomerang.”
Look at Daniel being forced to agree with Vala. He hates it.
That was so clearly the plan...
Have they checked that the Ori have tailpipes?
Those radios need a vibrate function for moments of necessary silence
Now would be the time to panic
Yeah, because if a bomb inside the ship didn’t work, ramming into the side of it will.
Pick him up and move him away from the controls? That seems a sensible option
Grab the child! Beam the child on board! Well, that was an opportunity wasted
I was finding the Ancient rule book hard to understand three seasons ago
Sadly, most of SG-1’s plans involve pissing people off and blowing things up. They’ve already done both of those things. They’re going to have to start thinking outside of the box.

Morpheus

Should have whacked the child...
And until they find out the Ancient device doesn't exactly work anymore
"And you say I'm hard to understand..." Sam has a point
Ni!
Daniel's slowly turning into Graham Hancock
What they're doing at the moment is hardly dealing.
She's lied more than twice. She's also annoying: that's a good enough reason to leave her at home.
SG1 have passed a psych evaluation?
She's using Daniel as an example of psychological stability?
I love the phrase "Deader than a Texas salad bar". I love it so much I'm not even going to complain about "deader" not being a real word
That's the answer I use in interviews!
Because I enjoy others' suffering?
"Anything left beside bones? I want to treat someone damnit!"
What does it mean if you think they all look like butterflies?
They've split up on a mysterious planet on which everything has died?
"We poked him a bit and he rolled over. People in a coma don't do that."
Oh, do you think we should get some of that stuff for The Ashes? With hindsight I'm rather glad we didn't
Snippy, sleep-deprived Lieutenant is rather cool
I too have recently 'pulled an all-nighter' and I was fine. It's the nights where you get just one or two hours of sleep that kill me
I would be hopelessly ill-equipped to deal with a virus that required me not to want to sleep. I generally fancy a quick nap all the time
Vala has that effect on lots of people.
Which member of SG-1 was dispatched to go shopping for sparkly hair slides and perfume?
It's always an aneurysm.
That's a very cute lizardy thing.
"I'm not going to hurt you" is clearly a lie. They're going to take the friendly lizard back and experiment on him!
The hazmat people are incredibly sinister
Why send the hazmat team now?
Didn’t Sam write any of that down?
The lizardy thing wasn't any use at all? I think I'm going to demand some sort of coda in which the friendly lizard turns out to be fine, with lab assistants feeding him lettuce

The Pegasus Project

I'm a little surprised Cameron hasn't taken this opportunity to stack things on Daniel while he's asleep
They're finally letting Daniel go to Atlantis!
They're wearing their black saving the universe outfits. We haven't seen them in ages.
I could have had a longer moment. Daniel clearly wanted a longer moment
Sam wonders why she never tried that.
Dog breeders can do that. Surprisingly
John shouldn't threaten Rodney in front of non-Atlantis people. It seems rude
He really can't help himself.
Vala is now officially Rodney's favourite person.
John has an emergency lemon!
They're swapping Daniel for Rodney? That doesn't seem a fair trade.
Except without the merchandising opportunities and the giant mice
That's a superb graphic.
Sam knows there was nakedness.
Rodney was trying to be nice!
Rodney's hungry! He can't help it if he needs a snack. That's good time management from Rodney.
I can't believe Daniel didn't ask the question first. Why wouldn't you ask it?
Well, there'd be crumbs and he's probably the guy who has to sweep up.
We definitely need to meet Granny Mitchell.
Do we know him?
Oh! It was the lack of funny hat that led me astray
There's been an ascended Ancient in Atlantis all this time?
"They're in close proximity...""Well, what do you expect us to do about it?" Walter can't move the black hole.
Is Weir allowed to give Walter orders?
I'm confused. Has the ascended person been the hologram all along? If she's replaced the hologram why would the holographic recording remember what she said, and if it's her why would she repeat what she last said, rather than just lying and making Daniel look like a mad person?
How cool would it be to have regular days when you need more than one nuke?
'Affected by its effects' is a bad sentence.
Daniel's satisfyingly close to snapping here. It's about time
Radio silence! Radio *silence*! They definitely need to investigate getting a communications system with a vibrate function
The effects of the black hole will still hamper the Wraith less.
Well, I have no idea what they did, but that was cool.

Insiders

Does Walter have a direct link to everywhere?
Baal! *is contractually excited by Baal* Baal! Baal! I don’t have anything to say except that.
He obviously wanted to get their attention.
Sam's secretly pleased by that.
Baal has a very good point there... It wasn't his fault the galaxy got over-run
Although, Baal's plan would've been successful so he's one up on SG1
I'm finding it very hard to fault Baal's reasoning, I can't decide if it's because he has many excellent points, or because he's just so cool I don't care
SG1 need to control their intrigued faces if they want to keep that a secret.
I've missed Baal's smugness.
No one ever wants to help Barrett out.
SG1 don’t need controlling so much as containing. Hammond had control. I have no idea how he managed it, but he did
That was a Baal joke!
The reinforcements are going to be hugely confused
Has Vala been shown the hand signals?
It must be quite difficult to be dragged off in a robe
Fighting Baals!
What happened to Dr Lam?
Isn’t everyone fundamentally misunderstanding the concept of 'clone' ? Surely it's the whole point of a clone to be genetically indistinguishable
It's nice to know the Baals have all retained that innate sense of style
That was funny.
Walter has a little bit of a man crush on Cameron
It's definitely a competition. It's so a competition. Somewhere there's a chart
Barrett just wants one Baal to play with.
I'd be happy to look after a spare Baal
It's Baal, don’t complain about the table.
That's an impressive pose from Baal.
They're overrun with Baals!
They've numbered the Baals!
Siler gets all the glamorous jobs
Either Agent Barrett admits he's under mind control, or he admits he's been a complete idiot. The mind control option is slightly less embarrassing
He looks like a Malcolm.
Baal's way smarter than Annubis

Uninvited

Aw, I thought for a moment Walter had been invited to the bonding session. Walter should have been invited
Why was Daniel in England? I really ought to watch these in order.
That's not a helpful comment Teal'c.
Ew! Torn apart people!
Sam's in charge! Well, it's about time.
It tore people apart. That's rather more effective than the boogeyman normally manages
Cameron's gun knowledge is superbly geeky
Well, maybe they'd still be alive if they'd been wearing the proper camouflage fatigues rather than the desert ones.
When people keep telling you to be relaxed it doesn't help.
He didn't realise the very best would be such a complete pain in the ass?
It's a dark and stormy night...
What a way to bond.
Mitchell has only been working his way up the chain of command because he thought he'd get to order helicopters.
I would be embarrassingly interested in a duck that whistled
They got Beau Bridges to impersonate a duck. Can we just take a moment to admire the SG1 writers for that.
"Permission to leave and laugh hysterically outside, Sir"
Is Teal'c supervising the doctor to make sure she's doctor-y enough?
No! That's bound to be an evil bug of some kind.
What's the point of wearing your protective orange waistcoat so people don't shoot you if you put a camouflage jacket *over the top of it*?
Ew! Mike Bits!
It used to be one of the free range lemurs from Paignton Zoo?
SG-1 did it. That doesn't surprise me as much as it should
What are they going to do when Vietnam becomes too far in the past for senior officers to have a little Vietnam story
Mitchell just completely ruined the ending
That was so a junior crew member wiggling the branches back and forth.
Let's call it an invisibility cloak, shall we? That's what everyone is thinking.
Agent Barrett? Is he still allowed to be in charge of things?
Shoot it, then!
Ha! They made a contemporary political reference! This wouldn’t be the week they cancelled SG-1, would it?
If the road is closed how did all the hunters get there?
It's always SG1's fault.
Sam still isn't sitting in the chair
When it's a really big bear?
The unsuspecting sheriff got eaten!
Now the Air Force is in charge, you'd think they could give Mitchell a proper gun.
Sam is totally bluffing.
That was a fantastic episode.

200

Okay, I genuinely just thought "hang on, how did I miss the Furlings episode?" Me too! I was thinking it was the one I forgot to tape
I like jam
Mitchell is far too enthusiastic about things that don't turn out to be fun at all
Zombies! There are zombies! Why are there zombies?
Why on earth haven't we had an Invisible!Jack episode? I think we should demand an invisible Jack episode. I can't believe they didn't do it before
It's the 'again' that sells that
The only reason Mitchell was paying attention was because of his Zombie idea.
If it was my 200th trip I'd want a professional dialing, not some man we don't know. I'd demand Walter
I do like Stargate's ability to take the piss out of other shows at the same time as taking the piss out of themselves.
"Show the actual escape..." "We can't afford that!"
Wow. Not just an Oz reference, but the entire plot.
They dressed Daniel up as a lion! A lion with *coffee*!
It seems a little unfair to make Siler do that.
They blew up the mountain!
Kirk!Mitchell! This is going to be one of those episodes where I just make lots of exclamations isn't it?
Bless Sam and her scientific outrage. "Everything about that statement is wrong!"
I like weapons at maximum. I can't help it
"I do not understand why everything in the script must inevitably explode." Because that's the way we like it, Teal'c.
I have to admit, I'd be more inclined to watch a show if there are explosions in the trailers.
I know baby!Daniel and I can't for the life of me think where from
Ooh, I could go for a latte
Farscape! I wouldn’t recognise it either.
Well, they probably can't afford an entire call
If he's read 30984 and 30986...
We probably don't want him to use his imagination.
I'm not sure alternative dimensions extend to puppet dimensions.
Poor, simple, puppet Hammond. "We found the ring in the sand..."
Puppet Jack is my favourite. He leans and points.
Spinning *is* much cooler than not spinning
Aw! They collapsed in a heap! They fell over! That's the saddest thing I've ever seen!
I was expecting him
There is absolutely no reason that we haven't had a Teal'c, P.I. episode either
They so wrote this entire episode so they could make Walter cry at a wedding.
It took them 200 episodes, but they finally acknowledged the slash.
"If I wanted to torture the audience on purpose" That's exactly what it feels like!
Was Landry just doing Walter's jacket up for him?
savedoctorlavant.com should so be an actual website. I'm slightly sad that it isn’t. I'm a little sad that we both went and checked that
That was wonderful and utterly ridiculous in a way only Stargate can be. That was just superb

Counterstrike

When does Bra'tac ever come bearing good news?
She seems to have a noticeably female hazmat suit
Didn’t they keep that weapon?
Bra'tac was pretty isolated already. In fact they spent three seasons telling us that.
The only one they can trust by herself is Sam? Actually, they're right. The only one they can trust by herself is Sam.
Allies who have just killed quite a lot of people. It may be time to reconsider. Walter would want marines
Sam automatically knows that Plan B involves blowing stuff up.
At least one time it must be because he typed the wrong thing.
You'd have thought the Jaffa would have learned to look in side rooms by now.
She hit him with it! You don’t really need instructions for that.
And they didn’t consider that someone else might be able to hear them?
See, this is what you get for helping people.
If I were ever to destroy the ship, that's exactly what would happen.
A lot of us have plans for Daniel.
Don't stand about and gawp! Get through the gate.

Memento Mori

Oh, Good, a Vala-centric episode. Just what I needed.
No date that involves karaoke is going to be culminating in anything
If she'd known that she wouldn't have worn the flower.
I'd go for passion-fruit too
Daniel really should have thought this through.
It's nice that passers by attempt to stop three men when they bundle an unconscious woman in a car.
If it's an episode where Vala gets tortured, I can cope.
Do we trust Agent Barrett again?
I think it's because she's strapped to a table. That'd piss me off enough without the dredging up memories part
Teal'c can break anyone. All he has to do is stare at them for a while
You can't have a goddess of war called Charlotte
She shouldn’t chew while she's at work.
"Living out the back watching re-runs of The X-Files in my spare time..." That's been my life too...
Just how many Goa'uld are there in corporate America?
You'd think the police would be better at checking ID.
If he falls off, he's going to ruin those trousers.
This entire episode was written so they could have a gratuitous motorbike scene, and one which really should have been Sam's.
That's a very obedient passer-by.
It was lucky they didn’t have to do a three point turn.
Being kidnapped and having your memory wiped is the SG1 initiation.

The Company Of Thieves

Mine fields are always fun!
All they needed was "Help!"
Does Daniel have new glasses?
Don't they have their names on their uniforms?
You know, I wish I'd paid more attention to the Lucian Alliance when they'd first appeared. This might be making more sense.
Emerson is fed up of Sam being more popular.
Emerson! They killed Emerson! That seems a little harsh. That was hugely unexpected
Why is Teal'c wearing a ridiculous hat?
I too have been known to turn alarms off and carry on in the hope that it will all be alright
Poor Sam. It's bad enough being captured at all, let alone by someone so amazingly cliched
Sam is depressingly familiar with Daniel being captured whilst trying to save her.
Sam knows it's part of the plan. She's seen their plans before
Is Mitchell the best person for undercover work?
They could have given him a magazine and asked if he wanted a coffee
They never stop falling for the 'I'll torture him' routine.
But he hasn't finished his dinner!
Yep. That's good enough
Is now really the time to haggle?
Daniel has his 'what now?' face on.
That really wasn't very good stalling.
"I just have to press this button." I do love that lieutenant, he's just so bored of lots of people telling him what to do when his sole job is to press a button.
As if Sam didn't hate Vala enough already.

The Quest pt I

They could at least get Daniel some take away.
"We don't want to look at that, we want to go get Chinese food"
Sam's really struggling with having another girl in the group. The boys don’t fall asleep on her.
It would be a real quest if people returned unsuccessfully.
Ooh, peril. Proper quests should always have peril
I hope there's a dragon
Well, they haven't... ah, there we go.
The Librarian's refreshingly open-minded
Baal! I know I always greet Baal that way, but he deserves it.
He said wait!
I'd just be curious
Vala is so the type to take a hairdryer with her everywhere.
Baal's only got half a powerbar! And he's only just got his hands on that
I'm not sure that counts as 'contributing' in the strictest sense
Oh, it's so going to be an actual dragon.
That librarian's very spry
Daniel hasn't been able to defeat someone with archaeological knowledge for a long time. He should be very proud.
Why does Adria have something particularly against Sam?
Well, Sam is resourceful. The others not so much.
Baal's a nice addition to the team. He's refreshingly cynical.
I want to see Teal'c squeeze Baal through the bars.
It's just one long Crystal Maze game.
I love Sam's barely audible "For crying out loud"
I was always terrible at the slidy tile games
The Orisi is completely unequipped to deal with Baal
Dragon! Don’t forget the potential dragon.
Dragon! There's a dragon! You can't go wrong with a dragon.

The Quest pt II

That really is a very cool dragon. It breathes fire and everything!
Baal just superbly glossed over the fact he's been bluffing.
Teal'c knows about Puff the Magic Dragon. I think we should have got to see that conversation.
Baal really is using this opportunity to mock as much as possible. "Ineffective in a different way" is a fantastic phrase
I'm calling it Smokey. Smokey's a much better name than Darryl
How many dragons has Mitchell fought?
Teal'c shouldn’t need to be told to run.
What is it with people foolishly running towards dragons today?
I rather want my skills to be in armed combat and dragons, but I think I'm probably more of the strategy type too
SG-1 should always have Baal as their little pet.
He shut someone up just by waving at them! That's a fantastic ability to have. If ever I get an ability I want it to be that one
The Ancients appreciated a good shiny thing.
Really, they could just collectively be known as The Colonels.
They killed Merlin!
Teal'c made a joke!
Baal needs a nice warm scarf, and some mittens
This prostration is clearly a way of keeping people busy while the Ori get on with more important things
Well, maybe Daniel should just get on with building the important thingymajig instead of chatting.
Teal'c's just standing back and waiting to see when Sam's going to break.
Sam doesn't randomly hit annoying men enough.
Unfortunately Daniel does have to do this
Although by help, Baal means he's going to run away.
Baal! Is Baal dead?
See, Vala hasn't been around Daniel long enough to know that he always survives.

Line In The Sand

Am I supposed to know what they're talking about? What's Sam going to be doing in Vegas?
What's Sam gong to be doing in Vegas that she needs to change clothes for...
Did Merlin and Daniel actually complete that device? It's not the Sangraal, it's the other Merlin device. The out-of-phase one that made them think SG-1 had been minaturised into tiny!SG-1
I'm eagerly anticipating the episode where Sam head-butts Vala
Mitchell's been thinking of that since they came through the Stargate.
How come only Sam and Vala get flowers. Teal'c should have been given a flower
Oooh! Portable rings.
Wow. Mitchell's basicP-90 training really worked
They shot Sam! Sam never gets injured!
Just randomly closing windows and pressing buttons never works.
Wouldn't the C4 be out of phase?
Sam's not going to die! I'm hugely worried about Sam, I don't have nearly the same faith in her ability not to die as I have in Daniel's
Did Sam just say the password was fishing?
Everyone's lost Daniel. He shouldn't feel bad about that
I'm fairly sure most religion is built on its supporters nodding and smiling until they're given cake
Sam looks like she could do with a macaroon.
Ah, the good old religious schism. You can always rely on those.
Cameron bakes! I don’t know why I find that wonderful, but I do. How can Sam not like macaroons?. Ooh! I have macaroons in the fridge! I'd forgotten about them

The Road Not Taken

Really, if you're walking into Sam's lab, you should expect shields and electrocution.
That's a great sign
Well, that's going to mess up the lunch plans.
I love the scorch marks on the floor
Lorne! If you land somewhere with a Lorne it can't be too bad.
Sam doesn't seem to find anything strange in Lorne using her first name...
General Hammond!
Lorne's refreshingly willing to accept parallel universes
Jack? Has she asked about Jack?
Sam seems shocked that her alternate could screw up the capacitors.
Sam killed herself?
In the event of an alien attack, I wouldn’t waste time...(okay, I have no idea what I meant to write here, can anyone guess?)
If I were to accidentally land in an alternate dimension, I guarantee nothing exciting would be happening.
Sam was just trying to see if all the alternate hers had things for their commanding officer. It'd be a worrying thing to find out that it was just a C.O. fetish
And Sam was so happily living with the belief that it was all in Rodney's head.
Since when has Hammond had *pictures* outside his office
How about "you'll be without power for an undisclosed period of time, but on the plus side you won’t die horribly at the hands of evil aliens" ?
Maybe if they stopped powering the flashy indicator lights they'd be at 100% much faster.
Good on the Ori for firing anyway, just incase. It seems a very sensible reaction
Dr. Lee's been through a lot. He deserves at least one hug
The Air Force yet again seem able to rustle up jewelry at a moment's notice. I'm beginning to be suspicious
What's with SG1's sudden contemporary political commentary?
Can they "get back out there" if they're out of phase?
The first time I watched this episode I missed the first quarter of an hour and had no idea what was going on. And then Rodney appeared in glasses and a good shirt and my brain shorted out.
Dr Lee learned that the keys go up and down!
Not the forthright bit, that bit's fine.
I really didn't need to see Cameron with greasy hair.
Rodney got rich and learned to dress.
Oh! Go Sam! That was a fantastic, if ultimately futile, effort.
Charlie liked the irony.
Sam's not happy being the one referred to as trouble in that relationship.
Several hours? It took them several hours?
They kept her company! That's so sweet.

The Shroud

What is it with these villagers desperate for knowledge of oppressive religions?
If some idiot online hadn't spoiled me, I'd be extremely surprised right now
I'd be more likely to eat out of someone's hand if they weren't issuing genocidal threats
Those villagers are going to be hugely impressed by the priors now they've seen one turn sparkly and disappear
Poor Daniel has had to be been devout for ages while he waited for SG1 to sort themselves out.
SG1 should be questioning the kissing more. Jack would have mentioned the kissing a lot.
The Ori can't possibly be good if they're willing to do that to Daniel's face. It's not Daniel's most attractive look
Jack! Completely explanation-free Jack!
No one briefed Jack on the Merlin thing.
No one who wasn't Daniel would possibly bicker with Jack for this long
"Gatebuster" is such a cool word
Teal'c's far better than a polygraph
I think Daniel should get glittery evening wear too. It's unfair to put him a grey robes
The Ancients are just generally being Ancient. It's rather pointless to ask why they do or don't do things
Wolsey's about to use the work 'eliminate'
Ooh, "terminate"... I was so close.
They can *try* and kill Daniel. Making him stay dead is another matter entirely.
I think being the demon spawn of Annubis is a valid excuse
Daniel causes catastrophes when he's not evil.
Couldn’t Jack demand to be able to carry a weapon?
Just once Sam would like a commanding officer who doesn't like crazy
Landry doesn't specify that what he's actually worried about is Jack planning a coup just because he's bored.
I'm trying hard to work out if this plan will take up all the episodes we have left. I'm frightened by how few episodes we have left
Why did Vala get given the task of putting things together?
Jack's a bit jealous Daniel got the big chair.
It's not in anyway impossible to be missing a bit and have an extra bit.
Hang on, who was connected to the SuperGate? Was it Pegasus? *completely confused*
Does that mean they succeeded or failed?
He ruffled Daniel's hair
