Evolution pt II

 
  • “Honduran anti-government revolutionaries.” Well, that narrows it down. 
  • Why are they hesitating? Sleeveless Daniel alone is worth that amount, even without the artefact.
  • Oh, come on, just put on the little black saving the world outfits and go get Daniel!
  • Jack’s off to pack his rucksack. 
  • I’d forgotten exactly how good those shoulders look. Oh, that vest is very flattering.
  • Daniel looks fairly robust for someone who hasn't had a drink in days
  • Ahh, this is before the watershed torture. 
  • Without his glasses, Daniel can't tell what it is
  • There's not much point Daniel saying anything. The guy wouldn't believe him, whatever he said
  • That guerrilla has a point. Daniel had no right to steal an Honduran artefact. Actually, they aren't in his country, they're in Nicaragua...
  • No! Don’t torture Daniel! Torture the ugly archaeologist! 
  • Erm, where exactly are they going to attach those?
  • No, there’s no backstory, Jack was just going to mock Burke’s name. 
  • That was Sam’s “I’m not happy” face. 
  • Okay, what's going on with the sudden shipper scene there?
  • Ooh, the guerrillas have seagrass matting throughout. The House Doctor would approve
  • I think the reason why he’s doing it is fairly obvious, and it involves crushing the universe into submission. 
  • But that armour had some really icky goopy stuff inside it.
  • Selmac's plan sounds dodgy, but sadly Jacob has a point. And I don't hear any other plans
  • Oh, unexpected linguist! Jack. 
  • Another of Jack’s colleagues, who he no longer likes but will be forced to re-evaluate by the end of the episode. 
  • Somehow Jack is not amused by the ironic military history lesson. There’s a lesson there about American foreign policy, but I’d like to get through just one episode without ranting. 
  • "Everything" He could have spent hours on the colour of sky and why trees are green. Yeah, but would the rebels really buy a story about... oh, apparently they would.
  • Jacob doesn’t look very comfortable in that suit.
  • It doesn't look light
  • I hope they wiped the mucus out of that helmet.
  • I don’t think the Cyborg Goa’uld waddled quite as much as Jacob. 
  • Ooh, Cloud City
  • Did Anubis just call that Jaffa “Fluff”?
  • I’ve just remembered who Anubis reminds me of. My Headteacher. 
  • Nice to see someone annoying the hell out of Jack with wise-cracks for once
  • Is shouting whilst conducting a covert mission such a great idea?
  • Guerrilla guy is finding it hard to keep up with Stargate mythology.
  • How did he turn it on? Was there a big red switch somewhere that Daniel didn't notice?
  • Well that’s two less Jack has to kill. 
  • That guy doesn't look terribly injured to me
  • I love the stoic tour guide. "Don't worry, it's not the first time I have been shot."
  • Ah, and that’s why the injured tour guide is so obliging. I’m glad he didn’t die. 
  • They left him gum? The guy’s been shot and they left him gum. 
  • Parrot!
  • Anubis probably took advantage of a ‘buy one get one free’ offer to get all those supersoldiers. 
  • Oooh, indoor water feature. 
  • What exactly is Daniel doing with his shoe? Is it a weapon?
  • Don’t blame Jonas just because he’s not there to defend himself. 
  • What is a click, anyway?
  • For a hard boiled soldier type, this bearded bloke is harping on about his emotions a lot. 
  • None of these people ever do straightforward dishonourable things, they always have a righteous reason. 
  • If he's telling the truth, Burke made the right choice
  • Gunfire is rarely good, Daniel. It may not be good in the long run, but it's not bad cover for your escape. It is a good thing. They’re killing each other off, one by one. 
  • Goa'uld design means that there are a lot of convenient hiding places. 
  • You can see the thought process in Jack’s brain there - “Gunfire! Daniel must be nearby!” 
  • Follow the gunfire, or the comedy Latino music
  • Oh, action muscles. 
  • Yeah, really, you have to keep moving, and in a totally non-vicarious way. Those white vests aren't helping your camouflage at all
  • Looks like Jacob's estimation of 'several' was a few wide of the mark
  • If Anubis ever gets tired of taking over the universe, he can always hire his super soldiers out to the Halifax for their adverts.
  • Jack shows of his spectacular timing and Daniel decides he won't need that rock after all. I love the look that Daniel gives the rock when he realises just how useless it would have been. 
  • They always announce themselves with a "Fools!"
  • That Jaffa barked like a dog!
  • Hey, cool ammo
  • It’s the way that Burke blows a bubble just as he causes the zombie to explode that makes me laugh. 
  • I'm beginning to like Burke
  • Teal’c jumped right into that shot. 
  • A wounded pride can be fatal in males. 
  • Burke would be wasted in a temperate climate 
  • I love the brief technical discussion about glowing artifacts (which, in the Stargate universe is a pretty accurate description) and Daniel’s little hop sideways. 
  • SG-1 bond over their injuries. 
  • Oh God, are they starting the Sam/Jack thing up again?
  • January 6th? Tuesday? Gah, this will throw my week out.
 

Grace

 
  • That was Jonas’ voice on the previouslies!
  • In space? What? Eh? I’m confused, I thought that their ship didn’t work. It never works when they’re in space.
  • You know, I’m not sure why they ever bother going into space, it only ends in trouble. 
  • A nebula, eh? I bet they have to hide in it. 
  • Oh, Sam gets to wear a comfortable travel jacket. 
  • "Designed for a ship a tenth of this size." And nobody though this was going to cause problems?
  • “Only five more of these pit stops...” oh, that was so asking for it. 
  • If it's a vessel they've never seen before, then surely all of their reading would be unusual?
  • So, the delta manoeuvre is basically turn right and run like hell? 
  • Duck, Will, duck!
  • Oh God, here we go, yes hide in the nebula. That never goes wrong, does it? 
  • Ooh, hitting the wall and a weird shockwave. So, which one will be responsible for the weird alternate reality that Sam will find herself in? 
  • “Please respond. I need paracetamol, repeat, I need paracetamol.” 
  • You know, when you see a small child on a spaceship you know that things are just not going to go well. I *hate* spooky children. 
  • “I feel compelled...” yeah, by narrative imperative. Surely it would just be her duty to keep the ships log updated as the senior, in fact only, officer on board
  • Where did the escape pods escape to? They’re in the middle of space 
  • “I was left behind... and thank you very much for that, by the way, nice to know that I’m loved.” Okay, if my office, which contains seventeen people, has to have a register in the event of a fire, that ship should damn well have one in case of an evacuation.
  • If I was Sam I'd be looking more concerned about the big, flashing 'Overload Imminent' signal
  • Hallucination! Teal’c is very dramatic. 
  • I can just imagine that conversation. “Where’s Carter” “Carter?” “Damn. We may have left her behind” 
  • How will Sam cope alone without any satellite TV? 
  • Sam is now hallucinating someone that doesn’t care about her predicament at all, really.
  • Why do you think they dumped him naked on a forgotten planet?
  • Sam doesn’t have time for her own hallucinations?
  • So if Teal’c is representing her sense of health and wellbeing, and Daniel is representing her scientific curiosity, what will the others represent?
  • Well, if the engines won't work because of the cloud, then surely studying the cloud should be a priority?
  • Sam, sensibly searching for chocolate.
  • Well, if the hull of the ship is going to go, all that rationing was a waste of time.
  • SG-1 are alive *because* of long shots. Jack shouldn’t be so dismissive. 
  • Maybe if Sam stopped spending her time recording that stupid starlog, she’d be able to figure out what’s wrong. 
  • Everything is not as it seems, huh? Well, there’s a huge shock.
  • They have an actual procedure to vent atmosphere from a space-going vessel? That's really doesn't seem wise 
  • For goodness sake, just blast the kid out of the airlock. She’s a hallucination, she’s not real, she can’t be killed!
  • I think that Daniel hallucination has seen too much Star Trek. 
  • Wouldn’t all alien entities be space born?
  • “Talk to it?” Sam suddenly sees what Jack’s been complaining about all these years. 
  • On the plus side, if you talk to her, at least she’ll stop singing.
  • The little creepy girl has bought Sam a nourishing meal of orange, grapes and a medium-sized yellow balloon
  • She’s hallucinating dating advice from her father? Oh, god, the last thing Sam needs is one of these parental chats. The last thing *any* girl needs is one of these parental chats. 
  • Don’t give in Sam! 
  • No, Sam deserves to become General Carter of the SGC. 
  • I love Teal'c's interrogation technique. Teal’c’s silence works well in any situation. 
  • When has Teal’c ever been called ‘T’? 
  • If this is another “if there’s nothing wrong with me, then there must be something wrong with the universe” episode I’m not going to be happy. 
  • What are the odds that those bubbles are going to be important in some way?
  • Have a go Sam, bubbles cannot fail to cheer you up. 
  • Me too! I was wondering too! At that age, I already knew about surface tension. Yeah, so did I. I had picture books that told you that kind of thing
  • Why is she hallucinating civillian!Jack?
  • They’re really going for the Sam/Jack thing again aren’t they? Where did all this Sam/Jack shipper stuff come from? 
  • “Let’s face it, I’m not that complex.” Well, yes, that’s true.
  • Who would’ve guessed the deep, psychological hallucination would’ve been Jack? 
  • Hang on a sec, she was imagining kissing the imaginary hallucination? That's got to be at least one more mental level than she actually needs
  • Bubbles? Wasn’t Beverly Crusher in a warp bubble?
  • When the voices in your head start to argue, it’s time to panic. 
  • Sam looks sensibly pleased at the thought of cake. Jack should be proud of the cake idea. 
  • I can just see Sam desperately trying to yo-yo with a concussion. Is it possible to yo-yo whilst lying down?
 

Fallout

 
  • Yay Jonas! Eugh hair! Jeez, the hair! That is atrocious hair for Corin Nemec. The outfit’s not much better. I was expecting the hair, and I’m still horrified. 
  • Did Corin Nemec agree to have that done, or did they have to tie him to a chair?
  • If it doesn’t make sense to Sam there’s not a lot of hope. 
  • A handy source of powerful energy that is continually making more of itself? What makes me think this won't end well?
  • Sam’s a bit thick today, she’s just repeated what Jonas said only for him to say it again!
  • I have a joke about ‘sitting on a time bomb’, but I can’t quite figure out what it actually is. 
  • How is Sam reading that laptop? It’s in an alien language!
  • Good grief, another terrible fringe. 
  • That smirk says she’s been helping with a lot more than the translations.  Ooh, I sense jealously and possible love interest... I assume the alien woman will either turn out to be a traitor or die horribly by the end of the episode then?
  • Jonas gives an accepting little nod, as he remembers that he's working with SG-1 again now, and figuring things out on the basis of no information whatsoever is what they do
  • Oh good, ambassadors, they’re always fun
  • They made Corin Nemec write his own story? That seems a bit mean.
  • It's practically impossible, Teal'c. "Practical impossibility" doesn't make sense
  • That ambassador shows appropriate distaste for committees. 
  • How’s that ‘new unity’ working out for everyone? 
  • It seems that this trio still haven’t got past the name calling and hair pulling stage.
  • Well, that shut the annoying red head up.
  • See, this is what happens when historians and scientists work together. Neither of them get anything right
  • “What was that?” Sam must be having a bit of a day, because even I could see that was an earthquake. 
  • She wants three whole planets? 
  • Jack just wants to knock the heads of the committee members together, you can tell.
  • Jack should be mandatory at UN Security Council meetings. 
  • Hell, give them all a planet each, stop this bickering
  • I think Daniel should get to participate in this discussion. What with the radiation and the dying and everything, he should be allowed the chance to gloat.
  • It’s a very 70s look for Jonas today. I'm sure the Kelownans didn't dress this badly in 'Meridian'. They'll be trying to pull off that difficult skirt/trouser combination next
  • Oh look, it appears that they caused their own natural disaster because they would not cooperate. It’s a bit of a clunky metaphor to use. 
  • Why do they make Jack go to these diplomatic meetings anyway? He only gets bored. 
  • Jack never really ordered in any patience in the first place though, did he?
  • They don't have to reverse the process, they just have to stop it
  • Wow, you mean that they have to drill a really big hole in the ground and they just happen to have a really big drill? God, this is an awful episode. 
  • But that's such a cool giant drill!
  • It's going to be a turbo-charged giant drill? That's really very cool indeed
  • “Do you mind if I take a look at your power systems?” Is a fantastic chat up line if ever I heard one. 
  • “But you told me I was the only one who’d get to see your power systems.” I’m sorry, it hurts when I don’t say them. 
  • That poor woman nearly fell over after Jonas kissed her
  • "Damnit," thinks Sam. "That's one more eligible alien bachelor crossed off the list..."
  • Poor Jonas is about to learn the long term effect of SG-1 on your love life. They’re a Goa’uld, or they die. Sometimes they do both, but you rarely ever get to have sex with them.
  • "I too wish to save this world.." Mostly because she's stuck on it with no hope of escape
  • That’s a bit of a low tech keyboard.
  • Sam’s coping incredibly well with Jonas’ back seat driving. I’d have made him get out and walk by now. 
  • Well, that analogy was wasted.
  • So they're down to the Goa'uld, or Heinz-Harald Frentzen?
  • Are these flattering sleeveless t-shirts standard Air Force uniform now?
  • They really should have thought more about the potential bad guy waiting in his ship.
  • Um, just a random thought, but how are they planning to get back up to the surface after they’ve dug the really big hole and set off the nuclear bomb? 
  • It's not solid rock though, they've just dug a really big hole through it
  • “Not the hair, don’t touch the hair” 
  • "No, I've just been down this Goa'uld plaything route before, and it never ends well..."
  • Teal’c looks as stoic as ever, but underneath that calm exterior is a man really really panicking about the sudden raise in temperature.
  • Volcanoes? You know, Sam has an incredible habit of mentioning these things far, far too late in the proceedings. 
  • Oh, there just had to be lava didn't there?
  • Oh dear, Daniel rightly fears Jack!diplomacy.
  • They’re still going to have to go back through the molten rock, and it’s likely to follow down the passage the drill is clearing. 
  • I so hope that Jack's diplomacy wasn't just a ploy to get the Langarans to compromise. "That's what you get for dicking around."
  • You’ve failed *and* you’re stuck under ground.
  • “In any case...” That was a yes, she is planning to take over the universe with the naquadria. 
  • I quite like the pissy Goa'uld actually, she takes every chance she can to needle Sam. 
  • See, she did want to take over the universe. 
  • You see, I would have started the engines already and just left the Goa'uld to die, I wouldn’t have stood around arguing with her. 
  • She's taking twice as long because it's all uphill this way!
  • How does the drill go up? Did they reverse the polarity or something? It spins the other way and twizzles itself out
  • Jonas makes up for those horrific fashion mistakes with a truly sexy jumper
  • Sam and Daniel are the official leaving committee - “Bye! Call us again next time you endanger your planet by petty infighting!” 
 

Chimera

 
  • Oh, I’m glad they haven’t forgotten about all of last season’s plot. This ‘previously’ is beginning to feel like a Buffy or Angel one. 
  • We don’t get to see enough of Academic! Daniel. My God, he’s an attractive man. I know this fact, hell, I’ve met him. Yet sometimes I get sideswiped by how good looking he is. 
  • Vest! Mmm, Vest!Daniel. 
  • Wow, check out Sam's breasts! Is that the first ever appearance of Sam’s breasts?
  • Is that where all boyfriends are collected from? Coffee shops at 7.30 in the morning?  7.30? What on earth is she doing up and about at 7.30 in the morning? 
  • Sam owns up to her Black Widow status.
  • I love the "various circumstances"
  • Is there a helpful American out there who explain the duck/wine joke?
  • I want to see his badge!
  • They’ve never pretended before, Sam, so why should they start now? 
  • Are they doing some building work in the SGC?
  • I love that the major fact that is bugging Daniel is the miscontinuity in his hair. 
  • Look at the caffeine junkie go stumbling off for his fix. 
  • That’s the theme tune! This isn’t going to turn into one of their comedy episodes, is it? 
  • I love the interaction between Sam and Jack in the lift.
  • Humming *is* offensive.
  • Jack gets lucky and hits a random physics word.  Quarks? Good try Jack.
  • This is why all lifts should have annoying music, because at least then you can talk about that instead of having to have an actual conversation. 
  • I like Wet!Daniel, I adore Jungle!Daniel, but I think my favourite is Studious!Daniel. 
  • Sarah is laying it on with a trowel, the wide foreheaded-freak. Now there’s a woman that needs a fringe. 
  • Coffee houses never serve good tea. 
  • Maybe Daniel's an exceptionally deep sleeper, but I feel sure I would wake up if someone beamed into my bedroom and started probing me in the middle of the night
  • Actually, I think that ' Singing In The Rain' needs to lose the last fantasy dance sequence. There was, however, a policeman in the film.
  • Pete wants to have sex *now*. He doesn’t really care what time you have to leave for work.
  • Okay, he’s a little schmoopy, and thus irritating. I’m cancelling my coffee shop boyfriend. 
  • The artifact being that old isn't impossible, although getting a carbon date from an object made of stone is
  • I hate it when people try to reason with you when you’re sleepy. 
  • “Eight? I can’t meet him at eight, it’s 'Smallville' night.” 
  • Ok, Workout!Daniel is also on my favourite list. The SGC has a gym? I feel we should have seen it more. 
  • "Dreams are a way of dealing with desires that cannot be fulfilled.” Very true, but that doesn’t explain the really weird dreams that happen, like the one I had the other night about being on an aeroplane flying between three tornados whilst playing the violin. 
  • Gratuitous shot of Sam’s legs this time. It’s weird, Sam looks like a girl. 
  • Yeah, he looks up. 
  • Wow, romance through the medium of basic maths
  • Why is Sam taking the flowers with her? What is she planning on doing with them?
  • She got all dressed up and he took her to a tea dance? I wouldn’t be taking this whimsical romanticism very well. 
  • They crashed an anniversary party? That’s a very cheap date. I hope he knows who Harry and Mary are
  • ‘The Origin of Doorways’ is an incredibly funny phrase, but I can’t think how I’m going to squeeze it into everyday conversation. 
  • “Or worse”, yeah she’s just got to run in and take down all the pictures of Alexis Denisof wearing nothing but a hat. 
  • Guys are turned off by alphabetised bookshelves? I *knew* I was doing something wrong... In my defence, I don’t alphabetise my books. I do, however, alphabetise CDs, DVDs and videos. 
  • You know, a bookshelf can tell you a lot about a person. I can remember Diminuendo scrutinising mine for the first time, it was a scary experience. 
  • If our careers are determined by the TV we watch, I really should be developing superpowers of some kind by now.
  • Is anyone going to tell Pete it’s best not to mention his ex-wife in bed?
  • I like Sam's headboard
  • Background checks are so useful. 
  • Jack has a very good point to make in a briefing, for what must be the first time ever. 
  • I know it's a little bit more subtle than Lex's Jag, but Pete's giant 4x4 isn't the most stealthy surveillance vehicle in the world
  • Did Daniel just give up buying a nice city apartment after the second time SG-1 assumed he was dead and sold it?
  • Well, if he was asleep he isn’t now. 
  • I thought the doughnut thing was just a joke, but no, Teal’c actually has gone and found doughnuts. 
  • How long has Jack been standing outside that door?
  • Aw, Daniel sleeps the way a baby does with his arms straight above his head.
  • Ancient artefact! Be careful! 
  • Of all the bad moments Pete could have chosen for this conversation...
  • Shoot her again, just to make sure.
  • She’s just surprised he’s still alive.
  • It’s a curse! The Black Widow strikes again! 
  • Yeah, because the NSA allows for nosey boyfriends. *When* he makes it through this Sam, not "if". Give the dying man a little hope
  • Oh, OK, he’s still alive. Will he be allowed out of the base again?
  • Two members of SG-1 have now got partners who are alive and well. Is this some kind of alternative universe?
  • Plus, this has the advantage that if they split up, Sam can probably have him killed.
 

Death Knell

 
  • Watch Sam desperately trying not to whack her father. Having practiced with Jack for many years, Sam is able to work through her dad's fidgeting
  • If Jacob just stopped distracting Sam, things would probably be done by now. 
  • I’d hate to think what would happen if Di ever had to give up coffee for the sake of a symbiant.
  • I just had a terrifying, if slightly irrational, panic at the thought of having to share my body with something that didn’t like coffee. 
  • Sam and Jacob didn't talk much before he became a Tok'ra either
  • This is why they never have bonding father/daughter talks, intergalactic war keeps getting in the way. 
  • It looks like the MALP fell into a zen garden
  • That must have been a fun landing
  • SG-1 just have to hope no one tries to dial out while they’re still sat in that hole. 
  • I’m glad to see that someone remembered the ladder. 
  • Why doesn’t Teal’c have to wear sleeves?
  • Extreme caution and lots and lots of guns.
  • Jacob’s lying there injured, and Daniel desperately tries to get to the Kendal Mint Cake. 
  • All this tension about Sam is wasted as we know she’s going to be alive - she’s on the credits! 
  • I always love those overhead shots of people waking out of the gate
  • I managed to successfully ignore physics for four years, so I don’t see why the super-soldier would have much trouble. 
  • I hate it when Hammond speaks in acronyms. 
  • Sgt Siler dashes off joyfully to go hunt for things in his big supply cupboard
  • So yes, lots of trouble. 
  • “Compromised” The base is more than bloody compromised, it’s blown up! 
  • No, he really shouldn't have stayed by the self-destruct. One guy blowing himself up is enough
  • Where is the major supposed to pull that list from? The base is gone!
  • It could be absolutely any of the other missing SGC soldiers, or in fact, the super-soldier wearing Sam’s shoes. Don’t jump to conclusions. 
  • That's a super Jack O'Neill line "We'll jump off that bridge when we come to it."
  • Flashback - They should’ve just downloaded MSN messenger, that’ll prevent anyone doing anything constructive with the computer. 
  • Yet another innocent victim of SG-1's "just another minute" approach
  • I’ve said it before, but the drone looks like the Hudson replacement for Kryten in Red Dwarf. That may be why I just don’t fear it as I should.
  • Flying remote control planes with actual missiles on them must be the coolest job in the world
  • Omicron is a very silly name for a goa'uld
  • Wouldn’t it be better to send the UAV somewhere Jack and Teal’c aren’t already searching? 
  • I'm with General Hammond. It's a little naive of Jacob to assume that he has been told everything about Tok'ra intelligence
  • Oh, I don't like Dashingly-Handsome's new hair
  • It does concern the SGC if the operative is captured and the alpha site is compromised
  • He may as well just say yes. 
  • Why doesn’t the super-soldier short circuit in the river? 
  • For an indestructible super warrior, he's a really crap shot
  • It’s good to see that the almighty Tok’ra are as backstabbing and as bitchy as the humans can be.
  • It been eroded by several years of reality TV shows though, that’s almost as bad. 
  • No one without caffeine can be a voice of reason. The Voice of Reason used to be my nickname in school. 
  • Sam is using the old Hobbit trick of hiding behind a bush, although she’s taking it one step further and making her own bush. 
  • They should just take all the Jaffa warrior women to the beta site, they’d sort it out. 
  • “Tendency to provoke” Ah, the essence of SG-1’s problems, there’s no getting out of that one. 
  • The Tok'ra are being extremely arrogant for a group that has been dying in proportionally greater numbers than their enemy and have no way to recruit new members
  • Sam’s MacGyvering! 
  • Bigger!
  • Did it work? Did Hudson blow up? 
  • There’s no bits of super soldier left. I wouldn’t be so quick to relax until I’d found the body and jumped up and down on it a few times. 
  • Poor Sam, what does a woman have to do to kill that bloody thing? 
  • Sam sensibly makes sure that he is dead now, and I do like the scientific way that Teal’c steps on his neck to determine this. 
  • Does she look like she wants to get up? 
  • How often does a colonel cuddle his soldiers?
  • I would’ve thought soldiers should be taught to cope with frightening situations without needing a good hug at the end. 
  • Teal’c takes the very important job of standing guard over the dead guy. 
  • Why can't the Jaffa have abase of their own and one with the Tauri?
  • "This is nuts." Daniel taking a page from the Jack O'Neill book of diplomacy
  • He’s proud of her for nearly getting herself killed?
  • Sam’s just disappointed she didn’t get to show off her shiny new boyfriend.
 

Heroes pt I

 
  • It’s Sheriff Ethan, the most incompetent policeman in the world! And now he’s in the military... How can you be the Public Affairs Liaison for a secret base? He must have a secondary job. Maybe he’s the officer in charge of the Silly Hat Cupboard.
  • Hammond stands by his giddy statement.
  • I’m going to get a red ‘phone, just so I can intimidate people.
  • “To the letter.” Absolutely no further, either.
  • Okay, this sounds like a situation that requires a man with a briefcase. I want Major Davis and I want him now. 
  • The Liaison Officer is trying desperately to release his inner Fellini
  • Daily Stargate updates are a very good idea. 
  • Peridot? Jack is treating this camera crew with the respect he thinks they deserve, which is very little. If he’s talking about ice cream flavours, by the way, I agree with him. 
  • He has access to all their files? Doesn’t Daniel’s say he died?
  • “This woman is glowing!” This is not a phrase that is good news in the SGC. Glowing tends to mean Goa'uld possession.
  • Talk about being a floating electric jellyfish! 
  • Daniel bleeped himself didn’t he?
  • Oh, I love eager researcher!Daniel. “It’s fascinating!” 
  • “I just wanted to see if you’d chase me.” Now the entire world loves Daniel as much as we do. The question is did Daniel think of that by himself or did Jack put him up to it? 
  • Lucky Sgt. Siler gets to be set on fire. 
  • Sam just lost everyone there with the technobabble. Is it a good or a bad sign sign that I found that a) understandable and b) rather fascinating?
  • Yay! for Sam bringing sarcasm and belittling to the world. 
  •  Yay! It’s Jayne from Firefly! I’m glad he found work again.
  • You know, the ginger bloke didn’t look too sure about which way they were supposed to be going. 
  • “Bosworth’s disqualified for being a smart ass.” I feel a deep empathy with Bosworth, I would have gone with 'trees' too. I think that most of the Fringedwellers would be disqualified from this game.
  • This lot are good. Stargate- Atlantis anyone?
  • But at least off-world you’re allowed to use weapons, that tends to be frowned upon in childcare. 
  • Aw look, the ginger bloke won!
  • There really should be a cake. There should always be cake, possibly in the shape of a Stargate. I have cake actually. Just thought I’d share that with you all.
  • I think that Teal’c wins the award for Most Awkward Member of SG-1 To Interview. Go Teal’c and his literal approach. 
  • “What, again?” I like this snarky colonel. 
  • Oh dear, that picture of an unborn baby has marked this guy for an early death. I did have the colonel down for that, but since this one actually has a scan picture with him, I think he’s going to die instead. 
  • Metal floating jellyfish aren’t half as scary as the real thing.
  • Sensibly, SG-13 don’t arm their archaeologist. 
  • They destroyed part of the ancient city! I do hope that wall isn’t important. 
  • You mean, what the hell was it. Past tense, you killed it. With a wall. 
  • Ooh, Kinsey. Hate him. 
  • That’s Jack’s indigestion starting right there. 
  • Oh go Jack, let rip on camera. 
  • Considering they’ve been searching for the Lost City for quite a while now, shouldn’t SG-1 be more keen to go and check this previously unknown city?
  • You know, SG-13 does not sound like a lucky team to be on. 
  • The President is sitting on the other end going “Hello, hello, is anybody there?”
  • Sam does her best to resurrect the alien probe with some duct tape and a few AA batteries.
  • Bregman has a point, can the Goa'uld get cable? Even I had to get Sky and I only live in the home counties...
  • Jack’s never moved so fast to a briefing before in his life.
  • Well, it’s what the world wants Jack. Hey, I'd watch it quite happily
  • ‘Yeah, we hug every now and then, but all Commanding Officers do that don‘t they?’
  • Why doesn't Sam mention her shiny new boyfriend as one of the reasons she isn't involved with Jack?
  • Chevron 7 guy! He gets his own interview! Oh bless him, he’s really selling himself too. “Incrementally up to the seventh Chevron” - Oh bless, he’s trying so hard….
  • I’d rather watch the ruins to be honest. 
  • Sam should try jiggling the probe’s scart lead, that always fixes the school’s television.
  • See, told you, dad to be is shot. 
  • She treats Daniel for concussion quite regularly too.  
  • That’s Siler in the background. Is he there because of the staff blast tests or is he just randomly hurt?
  • Janet just likes to drop the alien daughter thing into casual conversation. It's the kind of thing you want to mention early in a relationship, if it's going to be a problem for the potential date you might as well know
  • Ooh, they’re sending Janet through the gate. Why are they doing that? I think that bodes.
 

Heroes pt II

 
  • Janet gets to leave the base again. Don’t go, Janet! 
  • This filmmaker can’t be that stupid, he’s managed to catch on to the whole “With all due respect” catchphrase. 
  • Sam copes with it by getting a hug off her superior officers. 
  • Ooh, that was a good question. She’s flummoxed now.
  • Well, that’s generally what a documentary is. 
  • They have picture of Daniel talking, what more do they want?
  • “Two thousand and six, I said two thousand and six” 
  • Oooh, cool bombs. 
  • I don’t know why the sight of a rocket launcher amuses me, but it almost always does.
  • Jack! No! If it wasn’t for the set up with the jacket inserts from last week I’d be worried.
  • Wow, that was an excellent shot of Jack and the hovercraft
  • Yet again I dashed across the room to fiddle with my TV settings, only to find out that the souund was *meant* to do that
  • They get to play Space Invaders? I don't even have internet access, and I've got a much less important job!
  • Originally airmen were playing cards on active duty, that’s where all this started. 
  • Witness how Sam is trained to deal with the stress. 
  • Do not annoy an angry Sam, she may still be armed. 
  • And the world of every single American administration since independence. That little freedom of the press rant is going to do nothing but annoy everyone around him.
  • Bregman is right , he does serve the people. He provides them with memories of events that they never witnessed
  • Look, a brief sighting of the cleaning staff! 
  • The janitors know everything, they always do
  • The Intelligence Oversight Committee? Is that for investigating times when people forgot to use their intelligence?
  • They’ve missed a valuable opportunity for Major Davis, and I’m not sure I can forgive them. 
  • He requires materials? Well, it's one thing to ask for the SGC's co-operation in the inquiry, it's another to expect them to provide all the stationery
  • I’m not comforted by the fact Sam just had to be ordered to tell the truth. 
  • Okay, I know it’s not Jack, but I will still have this panicky feeling until we get to see him. 
  • “Don’t you dare...” Go for his throat, Sam.
  • I love sarcastic!Daniel, I really do. 
  • I bet the directions to the powerful weapons were on that wall SG-13 blew up
  • Well turn him over and apply pressure then. 
  • Nurse!Daniel is also attractive. Next time I’m ill, I want nurse!Daniel. 
  • Is it a single piece of paper saying ‘Go Away’?
  • Has somebody been stealing the SGC stationery again?
  • Oh, God, I’m agreeing with NID guy.
  • The inside of Cheyenne Mountain is already cold and dark. 
  • I do feel sorry for the camera crew, they can’t be having an easy time.
  • No one touches the red phone. Back away slowly, filmmaker.
  • How does Hammond know that tape doesn’t actually contain Daniel’s porn? 
  • Oh Janet, see what happens when you leave?
  • “I need *another* Medic”. 
  • Sam’s just angling for another hug. 
  • They should stop with all the Sam/Jack hugging. 
  • The baby-scan guy didn't die!
  • Bloody Hell, I’m welling up. It’s Stargate for god’s sake. Although I have had several beers.
  • Pondered is a good verb for Teal’c.
  • The one time Teal’c gets to be erudite and it’s on paper. 
  • See, Sam hugs Teal'c too, it's not just Jack
  • I find it incredibly sweet that Daniel took himself into a corner to cry. 
  • Aw bless, Daniel is hiding in his ‘safe place’. Given all the time he’s spent in the infirmary I’m amazed that he associates it with anything other than pain and suffering. 
  • Yeah, the sniffles are starting to hit now...
  • Daniel is wearing his 2010 suit. That’s a gorgeous black suit on Daniel. 
  • They actually used the ‘Steam comes out of it and everything’ shot! 
  • They’re going to show the relatives the documentary? Firstly, that kind of ruins the whole principle of secrecy, and secondly it’s going to come as quite a bit of a shock. “Your son is dead, oh and by the way there’s life on other planets.” 
  • General Hammond is going to have to tie Jack to a chair to do that interview
  • Bear! Daniel had a bear. 
  • Now let me guess what this child could possibly be called.
  • That was a predictably twee ending.
 

Resurrection

 
  • Is that soldier safe up there?
  • If the government just kept a closer eye on all these abandoned buildings, their lives would be a lot easier. 
  • Well, perhaps it was an emergency
  • The cleaning staff always know everything. 
  • It was Cate Blanchett? We're not meant to know who that is are we?
  • Daniel tries not to look to excited by the artefacts. Oooh, treasure!
  • Nazi’s are such useful faceless evil people. 
  • Ewww! Bottled fetuses!
  • Sam is just so smug at being able to say that. I'm so glad Sam hasn't just forgotten about the shiny new boyfriend
  • I'm telling you now, don't open that ark. Nothing good can be inside
  • That shot is the art department's proudest moment
  • If they're so scary, then... Yeah, Daniel beat me to that one
  • "Please don't tell me we've accidentally activated a device that will destroy the planet. Again."
  • They were trying to breed a harcesis?
  • Come on people, fly it to Cheyenne, dial up the gate and send it through to P3X-blah-di-blah-uninhabited. It's not like you haven't done this before
  • Barrett conveniently finds an excuse to get himself as far away from the bomb as possible. 
  • Orange County? They're blowing up Sam Seaborn's district?
  • Daniel/Anna - The Goa’uld really isn’t so scary without the voice. 
  • I like Sekmet's attitude, "I will rip the bleeding heart from your chest and feed it to you." I'm going to have to use that threat myself one day
  • "This? I thought this unlocked his Audi..."
  • It would be the word ‘typically’ that would worry me. 
  • Are just the two candles going to be enough? Teals always seems to need about fifty
  • That's it, give the psychotic girl a naked flame
  • Agent Barrett didn't go down those stairs very stealthily
  • No! Don't show sympathy to the evil man!
 

Inauguration

 
  • They shouldn’t show that shot of the White House, it just makes me want to watch Josh. It even happens when it’s on the news. 
  • They’re stealing the characterisation of the President and the White House staff from the West Wing, and they’re not doing very well.
  • This is different, this is a top, top secret briefing
  • That’s a big thing to learn on your first day. You can always trust the military to bring you down. Literally in some cases
  • Not just people, they’ve been sending Jack. 
  • Oh god Kinsey, just shut the hell up. I really hate him. The fake Jack should have killed Kinsey when he had the chance
  • Oh no, a clip show. Woo hoo! I know it’s only a flashback but that’s our only sighting of Major Davis this season. 
  • The Chief of Staff has amazingly white teeth.
  • I always love Thor’s “supreme commander” line. 
  • OK, maybe this president is growing on me a little now. 
  • In this kind of meeting, the President should be sitting behind the desk, just to emphasise the point.
  • I like the new President
  • It’s the little black saving the universe suits! 
  • Actually that’s a fair point, it is with rather alarming frequency.
  • “Died and evolved into a higher being...” but he got better.
  • I'm not sure that SG-1 were all that sane in the first place
  • Daniel had a whole season off sick, well dead, anyway. It's a fair point though, you never see SG-1 going off-world one man short 'cause Daniel has the flu
  • Yeah, you go Mr. President. You put the VP in his place
  • Thinking about it, any relationship with Daniel ends badly by being taken over by a Goa'uld.
  • “An alarming tendency” to need to hug each other in combat situations.
  • Kinsey wouldn't understand the concept of friendship and loyalty. He seems like the kind of man who would have sold all his friends for political gain
  • I like the idea of thwarting someone. I’d like to thwart someone’s plans.
  • I love the fact that American’s have to name all their important buildings according to their shape or colour.  
  • Please let Woolsey be taping this conversation
  • Why am I suddenly suspicious of the President?
 

The Lost City pt I

 
  • I can multitask with the best of them, but Jack is quite good at it too.
  • I hate watching men shave, it always makes me think that they’re going to cut themselves. 
  • Please tell me 'repository' is the answer to Jacks crossword clue
  • Strange. Ha I knew that! Why is Jack doing a physics crossword?
  • So she kicks the random Russian guy out of the cab but she’s happy to share with Kinsey? 
  • I think Dr Weir is about to get nobbled
  • Athletic club? What on earth would Kinsey want to do there?
  • I thought they found the Stargate in 1927
  • I like this president’s style, I really do. 
  • That double or nothing bet was really a mistake, Jack. 
  • Ah, Jack has the same approach to crosswords as me.
  • They should know by now that they won’t get anything done while Jack is in this type of mood.
  • They’ll be fine as long as Jack doesn’t go around poking things.
  • You can bet that the extraction process will trigger it though. It’s bound to. 
  • I’m confused, should we know her?
  • Oh god, whatever you do, don’t touch it!
  • Well, that was a nicely vague radio message to Reynolds. 
  • Oh poor Jack, he’s faced with a mini-mutiny and he’s still not allowed to blow anything up.
  • They really ought to have made the plans before they were under attack.
  • That’s a remarkable show of faith in Daniel there. 
  • The look on Hammond’s face is “Oh good grief, again?” 
  • Don’t fiddle with things on other people’s desks, they tend to fall apart.
  • Aw, Jack’s spending his last night watching TV. 
  • Well, considering that they’ve let Jack do a lot of the negotiating with aliens, I think that anyone would be an improvement. I’m sure all the other nations will be placated now that there’s an American Civilian in charge. 
  • I bet Sam has that number 
  • Jack is such a bachelor. Well, you can’t expect him to wash-up on his last night alive.
  • Is Sam kidding, she barely has enough room in her head for her brains, let alone the knowledge of the Ancients! 
  • "National treasure." That's a a lovely thing to say. I’d like to think I was a natural resource too. 
  • It's a disturbing idea, but Jack probably is the most expendable member of SG-1
  • Ask what’s in the box, it looks like cake! 
  • Teal’c isn’t wearing a hat. He must have bought doughnuts without the aid of a hat. 
  • Drunk!Daniel is incredibly cute, watch him try and balance that orange thing on top of his beer bottle...
  • I expect you all to fight over my Stargate videos if this happens to me
  • Gah! Hammond is just wrong in civilian clothes. 
  • Sam shouldn’t have to stand to attention unless she’s in uniform. 
  • Guinness *is* a refreshing substitute for food.
  • Of duty? Or has he just had some reassuring news?
  • “Oh god” , thinks Daniel “I hope I referenced her correctly” 
  • I wouldn't have just looked at the Stargate, I would have gone over and kicked it a few times
  • Of course they’d send Daniel...
  • Does Bra’tac ever bring good news?
  • I like the idea of measuring time by the amount of hair that has passed
  • Well, electorally speaking, Florida has been a bit iffy before...
  • They can't attack on Thursday! I'll miss Paul Jones' Rhythm and Blues Week!
  • Whatever it is, I'm guessing it's not very polite...
  • Kinsey, you're in way over your head. Weir is much smarter than you are
 

The Lost City pt II

 
  • Is Jack still doing that crossword? Would an entire repository of alien knowledge make it any easier to do crosswords? 
  • “Following you not!” I do so love sarky!Jack. 
  • That’s not a jump, it’s a pole vault over a chasm.
  • I do like Jack’s approach to crosswords.
  • It’s good to see that, although his brain is being taken over, he’s still essentially Jack.
  • Was that patch just attached by velcro?
  • That's one hell of a guest star...
  • Hang on, whenever they get in that spaceship it always goes horribly wrong.
  • I wish that doing random things without warning was a good sign for me
  • Jack looks slightly more organised than I do when I’m packing. Jack packs like I do. I'd take a naquada generator just in case, if I had one, and then forget to pack shoes
  • The Jaffa are such a sinister race.
  • "I will join you”, and then betray you at the earliest opportunity. I think my only condition would be that I had nothing to do with the dangerous mission whatsoever, and that they left a deposit for the ship. My only two conditions...
  • It wasn't that bad a joke. Dr Weir is coping quite well so far
  • Fronic is a good word. I sometimes feel a little fronic too. Cruvus is a good word too
  • When did they get a "fleet" of 302s? 
  • Why on earth are they telling Canada? Tell North Korea, they’ve got way better weapons. 
  • If only SG-1 had tried that every time their ship was travelling too slowly. I missed that bit due to a rather bizarre conversation about Clark Kent's inner ear
  • Sam does an internal ‘I’m in charge’ dance. 
  • *Hence the "fire", Sam
  • *I've been later than that
  • I love the way they turn expectantly to Jack and he meets them with a completely blank face.  Jack really is just winging it isn’t he?
  • Oh Sam’s been waiting to say that for so long. Can she order him around if he resigned from the air force!
  • The crust may be thin enough? They don’t sound very sure. "This does not seem wise..."
  • Sit in the big chair!
  • Jack hesitates before putting his fingers in am armrest made of tapioca
  • It’s an ancient dentist chair! A reclining throne? That's so cool!
  • Mmmm... Rumpled Hazmat!Daniel
  • The Lost City is on Earth? Cool. “It’s been on earth this whole time?” Yup, and it’ll be in the last place you look as well. 
  • "We came all the way here..." I'd be a little pissed about that wasted trip as well
  • How on earth can Brat’ac have survived this long if he’s so willing to turn his back on an obviously treacherous Jaffa?
  • No shit Bra'tac...
  • "You are weak, old man” Someone’s been watching ' Star Wars'. 
  • “Bra'tac, what’s happening?” “Sorry, Bra'tac is fighting to the death right now, leave a message after the tone and he’ll get back to you if he survives...”
  • How many times has Bra'tac nearly died now? 
  • Wow, Jack gets superpowers too! 
  • Wow, this has only been going twenty minutes! I was sure that was going to be the 'five minutes from the end' break
  • Let’s see the Secret Service try to handle this one. 
  • They couldn't have told the Secret Service that was a hologram before they shot up the Oval Office?
  • Good answer!
  • Was it wise for the president to be so cocky? 
  • That woman secretly wants to go with Kinsey.
  • Anubis. The Goa’uld are going to regret that when they want to watch TV 
  • How are they getting the word out if Anubis destroyed all the broadcast networks?
  • Out of range of what? Anyone with a telescope could have spotted them by now
  • “I’ve got enough on you to have you shot!” I really do like this President.
  • Is it wise to give command of the sole defensive vessel to a man who’s been sat behind a desk for seven years? 
  • Why is Chevron Seven Guy in the pilot's seat? What part of being able to say "Engaged!" qualifies you to fly a space-going vessel?
  • I know it’s probably warm inside the ship, but all that ice would make me want to put on a jacket.
  • It’s the Tardis. The secret weapon is the Tardis?
  • Ooooh, pretty weapons! Baby hovering electric jellyfish!
  • I want to see Anubis eaten to death by golden fish.
  • “That was SG-1” After seven years of having to explain loud noises, bright flashes, unexpected explosions and many near-invasions, General Hammond is quite confident in his SG-1 identification skills. 
  • No! Not goodbye. It can’t be goodbye, someone tell me it’s not goodbye.
  • “If this is not the Lost City, where is it?” Say it with me people, “Lost!”
