Prometheus Unbound

“Because!” Arguing with Jack for so long has seriously damaged Daniel’s vocabulary.
You just know Daniel has spent have the day with his fingers in his ears going “la la la, can’t hear you.”
I really want to know what Daniel decided to hold his breath over. I'm hoping it was something incredibly important to National Security
Yay! Whee! General Hammond! There’s a blast from the past.
He's stealing Jack's chair! Will Jack have to perch on the edge of the desk until they manage to order a new one?
“We miss you around here, sir.” A not so subtle dig at Jack there.
Daniel is really trying not to crow in front of Hammond.
Has Walter been consulted?
Poor Jack. Power is all relative. Poor Jack, he’s lost Daniel, Walter and his chair. Actually, what is Walter doing? We all know his speciality is counting chevrons. Who'll say 'engaged' if Walter is on a mission?
Ooh, Casual!Daniel . We haven’t seen him in a while. And an attractive casual!Daniel at that. He's usually shockingly bad at picking out his own clothes
Hammond has a dander?
Who’s going to take over in charge of homeworld security then?
Actually they leave people behind all the time, it’s just that SG-1 keep running off without permission to bring them back. It’s getting embarrassing now.
Something terrible is going to happen to Hammond isn’t it?
That was a hiccough of disagreement?
I completely sympathise with Novak’s random hiccups.
The glass thing never works
She’s annoying, although Walter does get to be comical.
There’s going to be a frightened out of it joke isn’t there?
She’s been hiccoughing since she was a child?
Yes, "Help!" is usually indicative of some kind of distress
Walter is allowed to drive the ship?
Has Hammond stolen the Captain's chair as well now?
“Could be a trap.” Could be? If Daniel’s involved of course it’s going to be a trap! Of course it's a trap!
Where did that strange man come from?
Oh look, something’s gone horribly wrong! Take the hint people, don’t go flying around in spaceships, it never goes well.
They're sending Daniel to do engineering?
Look at Daniel run and hide!
He’s stealing the ship!
He’s stealing Daniel! Bring back Daniel now!
There were only twelve of them driving the whole ship? And they still have to do a head count to see that Daniel is missing
Don’t just stand there.
Daniel sums the situation up nicely.
I love Daniel’s little “crap” before he slips into unconsciousness.
That’s more lines than Walter has had in 8 years.
“Generally it’s just kill first...” Daniel now really wishes that he’d thought that sentence through.
Daniel’s reaction to the thought of being hit on by the scary alien is absolutely priceless. I love Daniel being chatted up by the Supersoldier. “I’m a little disturbed that I might be yours.”
Aeryn! Hello Aeryn!
That mime would have been so much better if she'd bothered to make sock puppets first
The ship works by hitting it? That's my idea of advanced technology
It’s the only ship he’s ever had, he’s not letting it go easily.
The Colonel made a wonderful face behind Hammond's back just then
Poor Daniel hasn’t had sex in years has he?
"...better?" "Yes, but my t-shirt's never going to be the same again."
Are Airforce personnel chosen for their suicidal tendencies? Hammond really does have a case of the James T Kirks, doesn’t he? First of all he decides to command the mission himself, then he decides to abandon the plotted route on a whim, now he decides to go alone into dangerous territory. I thought that once you got to the high ranks, you didn’t have to get into danger anymore.
Wouldn’t it have been better to send someone who knew what they were looking for?
For God’s sake, just grab all the crystals. One will fit.
You need to check his mouth to see if he’s breathing.
That was a gloriously panicked second in command “Well done on waking up sir!” Waking up is an underappreciated skill. People should be congratulated for it more often
We all like Daniel tied up.
Don’t lower your gun Daniel, she’ll have it from you in a second.
“I thought we could just have sex.” You know, I liked this character before, but now I love her.
Look at this fight, it’s brilliant, it’s the antithesis of ever heroic fight scene they’ve ever done on this show. They’re pulling each other’s hair?
This is a bit farcical.
Never turn your back on Daniel, he's rarely as unconscious or dead as you think
Knowing Daniel, he probably did.
I love Daniel’s petty playing with the computer screen.
He could’ve put that food in her cell.
That meal consists entirely of fruit and ketchup
Wow... Armoured!Daniel can definitely stay
Hans Olo? Oh, he’s been waiting for so long to make a reference that wasn't Oz-related.
Ooh, shiny!
I do love her grin as she’s released from the brig.
Walter is having so much fun!
I love that Hammond still calls Daniel "son"
That’s it, she escaped unharmed, so she has to be brought back again. More please!

It's Good To Be King

The Goa'uld are running away?
Wow, they’re throwing the exposition in early this episode.
Maybourne! Yay!
“And this affects us how?” Jack really wishes that Maybourne’s name hadn’t been mentioned there.
Jack thinks this is sounding better by the minute
King Archon is Maybourne is isn't it? Oh, I really, really hope so
That planet looks nice and calm and rustic. I could live there.
Maybourne as the king? Somehow that was predictable.
He has fan wavers! When I'm king I'm going to demand fan-waving people, even if it's not hot
He’s right you know, General O’Neill doesn’t sound right.
He has hose! Actual hose! I'm sorry, I feel I'm going to be abusing the exclamation mark throughout this episode
Daniel just couldn't help himself could he? Guango is a great word
Well, that's the essence of true power. I want to name something. Naming stuff is an under-rated power
We really should see the Grateful Dead burial ground. I'm very disappointed we don't
That so wasn't the answer I was expecting.
'These are simple people, so therefore I had to take advantage of them.'
These prophecies never just say "September 15th, Earthquake"
*Did they have lambs on that planet?
That’s not a prophecy, that’s a basic TV Guide recap. Another pillar probably has another ‘prophecy’ that Daniel Jackson gets kidnapped.
You expected Daniel to walk away from some untranslated writings?
They can't leave now, Teal'c's found something shiny
Well, that was fortuitous.
Shoot first, investigate later.
Is that a Puddle Jumper? It's a puddle jumper
Maybourne could think of a better name than 'time device'
Well done Sam, please remind them not to randomly poke things. Daniel should have to wear mittens so he can't touch anything.
Jack! And he’s being greeted with pipe and lute! I love the musical welcome. Please tell me that's really a lute rendition of the MacGyver theme
King is way better than General
"Check out the sights... get fitted for a cape and a codpiece"
Gaggle is now the official collective noun for a group of Goa'uld
I'm not sure the Ancient's space exploration programme ran on a meter
Sam's very patient, "For one thing, that' was on Earth..."
Is she *sure* it's separated?
'Mind' and 'Focus' are not two words you associate with Jack.
Does taking the hat off help with the focusing? Apparently Jack has to be hatless to focus.
My stuff grew from filling a Vauxhall Corsa to filling a Renault Traffic two times over in just two years
When things start sparking, it's time to stop fiddling and call a professional.
A band of merry bad guys. I like the idea of that.
Maybourne knows about water mills and irrigation? What kind of training did they give him in the NID?
These seem surprisingly genial Jaffa.
She'd be cutting it less close if Daniel shut up and let her work
It looks like he's still arriving.
Sam’s magic laptop saves the day again.
It's hard to work under pressure.
Does the entire galaxy know who Teal'c is? Do they circulate little pictures of him so First Primes can all recognise him on sight?
Teal'c's heard that so many times. Teal'c's way is much more practical
Again, that was surprisingly courteous of the dying Jaffa.
Poor Sam's clinging to the side of that puddle jumper for dear life
They blew up a mothership with only a few shots? That was lucky.
Jack shepherds Sam away before there's a scene
Jack's going to keep those flowers on his desk. He'll make Walter find him a nice vase from the supply cupboard to put them in

Full Alert

I highly approve of the beer/food ratio of Jack's weekly shop
Jack really should lock his truck up.
Should Jack just carry a gun around with him off-base?
Don't leave your shopping unattended; maybe that's what they're there to steal.
I can just imagine Jack laying a little line of mines on his doorstep in case politicians try to come in
Well, except for... ah thank you Jack.
I would never have thought of my mobile
“The fate of the planet depends on it...” So, just another day for them then.
Oh those wonderful American gun laws.
“I’m sorry I must have missed an episode.” I get that a lot.
That's got to be a comedy Russian name
They haven't been keeping up their end of the bargain. They left the only interesting Russian to die on an ice planet
I'm not sure it takes much effort to make the Russians distrust the Americans.
Did he ask God? Maybe God would've preferred a nice vase.
He's already acted as a spy.
Jack's having so much fun.
They should have hung a banner over the entrance
I want a job in which I can wear a wire.
It'd take me ages to figure out how to fit the word into the conversation.
I'm not sure a career politician needs advice on how to wheedle information out of people
That’s a rather fetching alice band for Kinsey there.
The Trust are very naive.
Oh, that's subtle.
The Trust drink girly drinks
Why aren't there any nefarious women?
Oooh, is it a Goa'uld or a Replicator?
They really should have moved in when the video link went down
I wonder how they explained that one.
Prometheus? Oh, this won’t go well.
But who's going to collect Daniel's dry cleaning?
Ah, the huge close up of St Basil's, just so we know we're on Moscow...
Wow, Russian flirting. And she’s besting him. I like her
Daniel has eaten everywhere in the Galaxy, but he can't bring himself to eat Russian? The internet tells me that Salo is salted pork fat, so I can understand why Daniel might be a bit reluctant
“Russia’s gone to a high state of alert.” “Why?” “Daniel’s been negotiating again.”
Oooh, I like DEFCON 3, it looks exciting. I still maintain than in a crisis situation, the last thing you need is to be bothered by flashing lights and sirens
You know, Russia looks suspiciously like the set of Smallville.
I'm not sure it's the waiting he's worried about.
I'm fairly sure Daniel already knows his first name
Given what happened with the NID, why on earth haven't they considered this before?
Why the hell not? Everyone should be tested. I'm surprised they're not tested regularly anyway
I can believe that the Russians are trying to keep hold of Daniel. I know I would.
They should just make that name plate longer, or run to two lines.
I love the way the Russian's speech is sprinkled with "Nyet" and "Da", just so we don't forget they're Russian
“I’m afraid that Dr. Jackson is in danger.” No, really?
That must look great on a job application "Hobbies - Gloating, Slaughtering The Innocent, "
Well, that's just going to make the Russians more suspicious.
Preparedness can't be a word
Their Defcon indicator has a big row of coloured bulbs!
Who’s got the very important job of pressing the button that moves the Defcon status up and down?
That’s a very flattering picture of the Russian colonel in the file. He's quite cute, isn't he?
Sam's been studying those two photographs all afternoon?
Well, that's cryptic.
She was very eager to open fire
Sam takes that military faxing operation very seriously.
Well, that's what you want to hear from the Commander in Chief.
Where's Jack's eyebrow scar gone?

Citizen Joe

I said “Eggs” at exactly the same time as Jack there. I know I’ve said it before, but I have to say it again; it’s hard to fringedwell this when you’re up against Jack.
One ingredient is just food, two is a sandwich; it takes three to make a recipe.
No! Don't call her back, ask her to come to your place with a gun, now.
I love that Carter isn’t above crowing bout being right.
This is the second week in a row that someone has broken into Jack’s house.
Jack needs to learn to lock his front door.
Poor Jack, all he wanted to do was make an omelette.
7 years ago Ah... It's time for the clip show because Atlantis spent all the money.
Would you trust a man to buy a lamp that "will work in the TV room"
Dan Castelanetta. Great to see him rather than just hear him.
Oh dear – old hair, old effects, this is going to be a clip show.
Buy the exciting black thing.
I love the taxonomically correct audience
I have weirder daydreams than that.
No matter how many times I see it, the extreme deceleration joke is still funny
I like stories about interpersonal relations as much as the next woman, but sometimes you just have to blow things up. Joe's wife nicely sums up the difference between sci-fi fans and the rest of the world. Really, who wants interpersonal relations when you can blow things up?
Time doesn't *usually* have anything to do with it
How is Jack's shoe size a matter of National Security?
That child is going to be petrified of the dentist.
I bet the Stargate writers wish stories just popped straight into their heads like that.
Joe's wife watched far too much daytime television. "Wellspring of creativity"?
I suppose this is a twist on the old clip show theme.
There's no chronology to his stories.
I like a man who can use his private hallucinations to blackmail his child
I wish my hairdresser would talk about Stargate.
I've been waiting for the sequel for five damn years!
I still have a lingering suspicion that Apophis isn’t really dead, you know.
"There must be other things besides SG-1".... Nope. I'm out of ideas too
Most wives would want their husband to have a hobby that keeps them in one place, quiet and out of trouble.
Hands up who's feeling slightly uncomfortable with the 'Meridian' parody? *Raises hand sheepishly* Joe’s reaction to Daniel’s death was pretty much like mine, to be honest.
Back away and avoid eye contact.
I’m glad he had the vision of Daniel in the good knitwear.
Isn’t Charlene forgetting her son? I'm not sure he'd fit in the suitcase
Ooh, naked Daniel too. Lucky Joe.
Jack has a really lovely house.
Jack keeps a gun in his kitchen drawer? I'd so end up washing that up.
I get all the other references, but the colour peridot? He tells the TV journalist it's his favourite colour in the episode where Janet dies. (I'd love to say I just knew that, but it was on Channel Four on Sunday)
Sam's been waiting for someone to thank her for blowing up the sun.
That's gonna bug Sam for days now... "What Pete Shanahan thing?"
Even Jonas got a mention!
Just once, Sam needs permission to burst out laughing.
Daniel has fake flashback hair!
Jack's reports must be better written than we thought
How fantastic is that? It's just so... Jack. In any other show it would be completely implausible for someone to be having flashbacks for seven years and never mention it, but somehow, with Jack it's just so right
What on earth can Jack tell that woman that can explain what has happened to her marriage?

Reckoning pt I

Ooh, it's Yu! And more importantly, his cute sidekick
That's replicator!Sam isn't it? I haven't missed an episode or anything have I? Is this Sam? Or is it the clone lady? She’s sarcastic enough to have been around Jack.
That was a hard won promotion and Sam's not letting it slip.
Ah, not Sam.
This is the point where the friend I had visiting asked "So, who's she then?"
For a start, they've got to be a surprise
That's the best kind of observing
"...and join our ranks. We hope..."
Poor resigned!Teal'c "They never are..."
SG-1 always work better under pressure.
They really shouldn’t let Daniel out of the base.
Jack's right to draw the distinction between a problem and an intergalactic emergency. They require entirely different approaches.
The Tok'ra High Council has a lot to answer for.
Well, stealing stuff won't... *damn*
Jacob's fencing their stuff!
Those lights mean nothing to Jack, you can tell.
At least the Replicators are shiny.
They originally had a ship and a Daniel
I can think of at least three reasons why I'd want to kidnap Daniel. Sam's just not trying hard enough
An all important temple we've never heard of before.
Ah, I'm thinking the time machine is being saved for the finale. Jack really wants to drive the time machine
Well, that was just rude...
How does Thor know where to find all her research?
Replicator hands, or legs, or tentacles, whatever they’re using today.
No! Don't reanimate the cells. That's what started this problem in the first place.
“It is rich in historical significance.” “So we want to make it the stage for a huge battle”
Bra'tac may as well just have said "let us split up so the enemy can defeat us all the more easily."
Don't back up against the Replicator wall.
I'm a little disappointed in replicator!Sam for not imprisoning Daniel for sex.
Hey hey hey children! It’s Isaac Hayes!
I just love that Jack is taking this opportunity to mock Baal thoroughly.
They've risked the fate of the galaxy for far less before.
See, this is why Jack became General.
Couldn't they at least out the Replicators in a container of some kind?
What's the point of a Jaffa rebellion now?
To outnumber someone you need numbers.
I think they probably still called him Daniel
Ascend? Again? He’s up and down like a bloody yo-yo. They threw Daniel out last time, so that can't be Oma. Daniel should have demanded to hallucinate a shiny new boyfriend and a farm as well
Don't try to find the memories now you silly boy.
I’d forgotten how bloody annoying Oma can be.
Well, that was entirely too simple.
I think most of it's nonsense, too
What exactly are they creating?
I love Baal's 'oh dear God' face.
Thor's caught the self-sacrificing bug from SG-1
I love Walter trying to entertain a System Lord. I really wish that Walter had made small talk with Baal.
Oooh! Double crossing!Baal.

Reckoning pt II

I love Jack's ego mime
It's important to aim high
Oh dear. You can visibly see Jack latch on to the words "Blow up the entire planet"
Shouldn't they use the weapon too?
That's not the most convincing establishing shot they've ever had
Look at Teal'c trying to seem all manly in his skirt
Do they normally write 'Part 2' like that?
“Now you’ve carried the heavy stuff, we have no need of you.”
They don't really have the time to try and wade through Daniel's notebooks.
So far it's been impossible to stop the Jaffa from arguing, I don't know why now should be any different.
That seems to be asking for trouble.
"This battle will decide the fate of all..." I bet it won't. They'll be another one next season
"Also you look just like Sam and it'd be really weird."
Maybe if they tried to work out the whole sentence it would make more sense.
“Three days to the chicken” That sounds suitably cryptic to me. I truly hope there's a portentous chicken
“Would you like to try?” Ooh, Selmac’s getting pissy.
Is it possible the scratchy lines indicate the important words? They must be there for some reason
It's not particularly helpful.
I'd have done the prodding and poking bit before the translation. That’s it? All they have to do is a version of the penguin puzzle that you two got for Christmas? The penguin puzzle was *way* harder than that. You do have to admire their "If the wall makes no sense, just move the wall" approach though
Baal has a healthy desire to stay alive, I think he'll cooperate.
Earth shaking, walls trembling... Now how could that be a *bad* sign?
Aren't they going to need someone with the ancient gene?
Ah! It's going to destroy *everyone*. Yes. That would be bad
If all the replicators fall apart, will the ship Daniel's on disintegrate?
“Teal’c, do you read?” “Occasionally, when I get the time. I’ve just started The DaVinci Code. It’s really interesting...”
A plan that relies on Teal'c admitting things have gotten a bit sticky seems immediately doomed to failure
Sam knows exactly how many, she's just not going to admit that in public.
"The mere thought of that..." Honestly, it makes me a little nervous too, but I try not to worry about it too much
Now is probably the time to panic.
No! Stay there! Keep firing!
Is there still someone on the end of that phone?
Since when does a lockdown involve letting everyone out?
I’m worried that Jack could easily get permission to just “throw” a nuclear bomb.
Poor Siler and the soldiers that got caught in the wrong place. I get the feeling that that would be us.
Oh! Unexpected stealth!Daniel. All-powerful!Daniel is very cool...
Baal’s just hanging around to annoy Selmac.
"I am a god... I'm also very, very smug and always right." I'm really growing to like Baal. You have to admire Baal's smugness
They're hiding behind a desk?
Surely the term "Blast door" should...
Isn't that going to attract all the replicators?
Perhaps they should just line the gateroom with tables, since they seem to be harder to blow up than the blast door
Please tell me he's left Jack a hat. And his stereo
Can I just say how exciting this episode is?
The other officer would have liked to be consulted about being blown up by a nuke.
The giant bug ships are still incredibly cool
I'd be pressing all the buttons right about now, whether it destroyed the human race or not.
I *love* their thoroughly sensible reaction to the replicator pause- "That's odd..." *Boom*... I haven't laughed this hard in weeks
I love the stopped replicator falling off the step.
All these people need to be firing too
Ah, intense eyebrow acting from Daniel.
No! Don’t stick him with the sword thing!
Fan challenge- Name every episode those gate clips are from (clue-there are seven)
Damn it! Don’t die again! Oh, for f***'s sake, not *again*. Oh, not again. How many times can this man die?
That doesn't bode well. Don't tell me they zapped the Tok'ra as well?
No! Don't kill Baal too!
Yes! He got away!
Will somebody please worry about Daniel?
Yes. It is about time.
Ignorance is bliss as far as Jack is concerned.

Threads

I'm a little concerned about the amount of Sam/Jack in this recap
That was a very long previously considering it wasn't even a two parter.
Baal doesn't take well to being gestured at
That’s an unusually sweaty Anubis.
Anubis likes to stretch himself doesn't he? Why destroy everything in the galaxy? Who are going to be his slaves?
How will Baal witness it if he's dead too?
Well, you walked into that one, Baal.
A woman! There's a woman on the base!
Four times isn't it? They should keep a chart.
Jack has a very healthy attitude to Daniel's continued disappearances. You have to admire Jack's entirely reasonable approach. “I’m not buying it!” Us either Jack. I love how that by now, he just refuses to play along.
He just wants you to say a bunch of nice things, sell off his apartment and make a profit on all his stuff.
Has Jack's office always had two doors?
He probably won't actually be waltzing
Ooh, bad shirt. That's a horrible shirt. You wouldn't want to be ascended for eternity in that.
This is the Dead Like Me set! It is! That’s the booth that they sit in when Rube gives out the post-its!
You may as well order breakfast, since you're there already.
“Brothers.” Of course, Monty Python rears its head immediately, and I hear Eric Idle say “And sisters!”
Isn't Teal'c still 'of Chulak too?
Have they just made the Blood-kin award up?
Giant comedy horn!
It's good they get a chant, but shouldn't there be a badge as well?
Do the people outside the temple thing know why they’re cheering? Or are they just going with the flow?
The Jaffa just can't live without someone to worship, can they?
Teal'c really should look happier.
Hey! Yay! Pete! If Pete was my boyfriend I would kiss him a lot more enthusiastically than that. I don't think Sam's treating him well enough.
Is she allowed to let her boyfriend come in?
Aw, he's so excited at being 28 floors underground!
Wouldn't it have been easier for Jacob to leave the base?
I do like Pete. He deals with an unexpected father in law very well. It's bad enough meeting a parent, let a lone a parent and their sinister alien symbiote
Pete, stop making jokes now.
"Find your enlightenment." That's a bit harsh. Can't he just pay? I'm going to tell people to 'find true enlightenment' next time they're hassling me.
I'd order pie
“I remember this place!” You should Daniel, you saw it on Dead Like Me.
Waffles or true enlightenment; it's a tough choice. Take the waffles!
The guy with the coffee is going to be important. He wouldn't be so innocuous if he wasn't.
'We'll be here, right where the enemy knows we are, rather than finding a new planet and living safely in peace.'
Setting up homelands on disputed holy ground is never a good idea.
He *is* nice
I'd love to have heard that conversation between Jacob and Selmak.
Jack doesn't strike me as the type of man to have a flowery bedspread.
Oooh! I like the vest.
Did Jack sleep with the CIA lady?
Jack had sex! Yay for Jack. Hang on, why is he still fully dressed? Is this the first time we've had a post-coital scene, or an intimation of sex of any kind, on screen?
Ascension really doesn't sound like that good a deal.
You know, an eternity eating waffles doesn't sound too bad.
What's the point of enlightenment if it doesn't involve syrup?
"What are you in for?" "Atmosphere."
Sam should get a better ring tone. I can't believe she left her phone switched on in a top secret meeting!
Sam gets reception 28 floors underground?
There must be a better collective noun for Free Jaffa
Watch Sam blatantly try to escape wedding detail.
Pete's picking the wedding flowers?
I love Jacob and Jack double-teaming Sam and forcing her to go to the florists.
The nakedness was the network's choice.
Chocolate. No question. Chocolate and vanilla. I'm voting for both
She really, really doesn't.
"About to be destroyed..." "A little bit, yeah. Pete's always going to worry about the aliens isn't he?
It's nice Sam has to qualify that she 'generally' dates humans. Although given that her past relationships have been with robots, Tok'ra and cat-owning aliens, I'm not sure humans are truly her type at all
He's cute, he does all the organisation, he orders chocolate cake and he buys surprise presents! How amazing is Pete?
"We ran into each other..." This might be a science-fiction shot in the dark, but I think Coffee Guy is Anubis.
Anubis is half ascended too isn't he? So he should be here. Ah ha! Coffee drinking guy is Anubis.
He bought her a house!
Sam's having a freak out.
If there's one man in this world who can be traced by his trail of fire, Jack has to be it
Don't do it Sam! Go back to the shiny new boyfriend.
Sam got a “Ya think?” !
"Except for the great service, " and the free waffles
Well, dying is pretty much going to ruin it.
Jack has so many issues, it's hard to narrow down to just one.
I don’t know what’s worse; the rampant Sam/Jack that’s rearing it’s ugly head or the idea that his ex-girlfriend would be trying actively to set them up.
If they had to do this Sam/Jack thing, at least they make it clear it's Jack who needs to give up his career.
He's considered invaluable to me! He can't go away
Bra'tac must be on at least his fifth final battle by now
Well, duh. Of course Anubis is going to go after the weapons. I'm not sure the Jaffa deserve to be free if they're going to make dumb decisions like that
I always quite liked Jacob. *sniff*
That took Daniel a while. Yes! Bow before my knowledge of shocking plot twists!
Don’t break up with Pete!
I'll have Pete if Sam doesn't want him
Aw look, he's being cute and dignified all at the same time. I think Sam was expecting him to cry, but I think he's taking this incredibly well
Pete would have looked a bit foolish if that sold sign had been nailed on.
I like to think Pete gets to settle down with a nice friendly law enforcement officer, who appreciates him properly.
Oma didn't want to get her uniform dirty.
Why didn't she do this a long time ago?
Jack’s faith was deserved! Daniel returns! And he sounds like he’s got into the air vents...
I love that they all think he's in the ether, but actually he's just in the cupboard.
Why did that flag have to be so large? I think flag-wrapped!Daniel has hurtled to the top of my favourite Daniels list. Like Sam hasn't seen more than that in the locker room.
I'm finding this oddly sweet. She finally went fishing!
That's going to be a weird relationship; not only do they call each other "Sir" and "Carter", but Daniel and Teal'c will be living in the shed.
What happened to Baal!?
Did that seem like the end of the series to anybody else?

Moebius pt I

The mission back in time doesn't need a previously?
Another ship? Do they honestly think that they’re going to have any better a time on a new ship than they are on the old?
Daniel's bored now they're not under constant threat of death.
Teal'c's very smug about them having no power. As well he should be
Someone's died.. . I guess from the 'her' it's Catherine?
I hope Daniel wears his good suit to the funeral.
Why isn't Earnest at the funeral?
Has Daniel been weather-proofed? He doesn’t seem to be damp at all and his glasses are completely dry.
Wow, Major Davis, Colonel Samuels and Rodney all in one episode.
"Have no idea where I would be..." I guess given the name of this ep we're about to find out
Well, we've all imagined Daniel that way.
Daniel's private life as a dominatrix is something this show hasn't covered enough
That girl is really going to regret the whip comment when she's thinking back later on.
Jack looks thoroughly bored during his rock briefing.
Look at Daniel dancing from foot to foot! He’s so excited, bless him!
I love Jack's demand that Daniel should interrupt.
Poor enthusiastic rock man
That looks nothing like a ZPM
Jack was hoping this conversation was going to make more sense than the last.
“She wouldn’t let me!” I just love how Jack bows to Sam’s orders regarding anything scientific.
Jack's never really been in charge has he?
Yeah, because that's not a really bad idea at all.
Sam! You should know better.
They are seriously considering this aren't they? Are they not content with narrowly saving the universe seven times in their own life time?
Jack looks understandably nervous at the thought of his brain being central to any plan that SG-1 put into operation.
Who's in charge of the SGC while Jack is 5000 years in the past?
What exactly is Daniel planning to do with that data?
I like the way Sam makes a special effort to remind Jack. “I mean it, all of you, sir.” Sam knows where her lecture should really be aimed at.
I really wish that their time machine beeped and flashed its lights when they put the invisibility shield up with the remote.
How on earth are they going to remember where they left it?
They're very Arabic-looking Egyptians
Can I just say again what an incredibly bad idea this was?
Oh please say that they end up as a picture on a temple wall or something. That would be cool.
You can't help but hope that Ra has tripped over those robes at least once
I am positive that Jaffa in those helmets can’t see a thing. They spend their time wobbling around the ship clanging into walls and apologising for tripping over their colleagues
You *think* they don't know what it is.
Hang on, where exactly *is* the Great Pyramid? That's not it, because that's a ship
Oooh, shiny *and* glowy
Why are they walking in single file?
What makes them so sure no Jaffa have the gene? Why couldn't they have used a gene-carrying human as a host?
How about you stop shouting whilst standing very close to the enemy?
Or, it could be that SG-1 start the rebellion. They must start the rebellion. I can't imagine SG-1 staying anywhere for long without causing a military crisis of some kind
Carter is very inconsistent with her 'not meddling with time' instruction.
Gah, the greasy hair! The unflattering glasses! Daniel, what have they done to you? Oooh, lecturer!Daniel.
I'm pretty sure Carlos said exactly what he meant
Sam! Nerdy Sam! I’ve always loved that line about the reproductive systems.
That's a spectacular rant "Those were my theories o spin wave technology on the effects of anti-gravity on electromagnetism and you know it"
Whoo! *conflicted* Do I like the moustache, or is it simply because I haven't seen Major Davis in a while? Major Davies should not go for a moustache. Not a good look for him. Alternate Major Davis is quite scary
Captain Jack! He called his boat Homer! So 'The Simpsons' still exist then…
And Major Samuels... All the cool characters are back
"We can't... We would if we possibly could"
That scene could only have been improved if Jack's boat had still been tied to the dock
Nerd!Daniel is actually rather endearing
It's a beige folder
Isn't Daniel left-handed?
I've always been convinced that there's an alternate me out there who's having much more fun. I'm certain I would be far more important and together if only the other me hadn't messed it all up by meddling with time.
I do miss General Hammond.
This is a superb timeline story. I just felt the need to say that.
Do you think that Jack got bored after five years and started the revolution himself?
Blue jelly sighting!
And penguins. They should have chiselled a drawing of a penguin
He made them wear life jackets! Look at them in the lifejackets! So, so nerdy.
Jack may genuinely be happier fishing on his boat than he is saving the world
I like cranky fisherman!Jack, especially with the knitwear. I like Captain Jack a lot. He's grimy in a very masculine way
McKay! He’s always fun.
Rodney and Major Davis in the same room. I think this episode just zoomed to the top of my favourites list.
Look at Daniel's fingers wriggling futilely in shot
I want Rodney's t-shirt.
Alternate time-line!Rodney is exactly the same, except for the citrus allergy.
He just grabbed Sam's ass as she walked out of the ship!
Oh! Major Davis with some kind of power.
I like the way alternate time line!Sam is slowly becoming proper Sam.
Look at pissy Sam and Daniel. Those two actors must have had so much fun with these scenes.
It's a little mean to not let them work in the SGC at all
I'm betting the alternate team consists of: Siler, Chevron Seven guy, Major Davis and Rodney.

Moebius pt II

Previously SG-1 did something completely unnecessary and very stupid.
It's good that in at least one alternate reality they think about the consequences of letting untrained personnel through the gate.
I think that counts as a weapon.
It's Kawalsky! This is so cool. He's back! Of course, he's going to die very soon but it's always fun to see him.
It feels like Kawalsky never really died.
Isn't walking into enemy territory largely what the military are meant to do?
Does Captain Jack have noticeably darker hair than General Jack?
Did they have to change the bulb?
Where are they actually going? Why do they need Teal'c? Isn't that going to create more trouble than it solves?
Damn it, out-fringedwelled by General Hammond.
How does Daniel know the home address?
There's nobody there to say "Engaged"! Where's alternate!Chevon Seven Guy? What is he doing if he's not sitting in a booth saying 'engaged'?
50/50 seem quite good odds for SG-1
It *was* clever
This is Chulak, right? How does the address for Chulak still connect? Surely SG-1's time jumping can't have prevented interstellar drift?
I think the Peru story needs going into in more detail
Look, they're trying to figure out the synchronised swimming gestures!
Alternate Sam is just like another season one Daniel.
Aw bless, Daniel's the last to come around.
That was a very girly backhand
"Kneel before your slightly blurry god!"
Is that Apophis? Really?
I didn't think it was possible for Apophis to get any more camp.
Funny that when Daniel is commanded to speak, he actually shuts up.
If I was an expert in Mesopotamia, I wouldn't be able to stop telling people either.
Always with the hand device
He's not strong, he's just ignorant
I hope they've made sure the battery's fully charged
A prison escape and a four mile walk to the ship will definitely make Daniel feel better.
I think I'm more of an explosives girl too
Eeeeep! Oh god, is he dead again? Daniel's dead again? That's the second time in four episodes. That has to be a record.
Was Daniel a Goa'uld? Ha!
Or still in the prison
Not again. We have to see him die twice in the same damn episode?
And here's where...yeah, there goes Kawalsky.
Don't vomit in the Gateship, Sam
"Daniel and Kawalsky... and a couple of other people but I don't know their names so I'm not that bothered by them."
I'd want more than an "I believe so" before I travelled back in time.
Well, now they're in 3000BC, they might as well do something while they're there
Please do remind us, because I, for one, am completely confused.
Maybe it'll be lunchtime
Are we going to have two SG-1s now? I like it when that happens
Yay! The weeble gene triumphs!
I love Daniel's concern as to where he is.
Hardened rebel!Daniel is rather appealing
Well, of course it was Jack's fault.
You can tell that Daniel has been waiting for a chance to rant about being trapped in the past and now he's going to make the most of it.
Sweet... Exactly
Poor Sam...
You had the Best Boyfriend in the world. "I wonder if the future me has a boyfriend?" Well yes, for a while. Then he dies horribly. But don't worry, another one always comes along eventually.
I like seeing Sam and Jack, two of the most capable people in the universe, resorting to the most basic method of finding out if something is invisible.
They still need to win the rebellion as well though, otherwise they'll just end up changing things again and then there'll be a third SG-1...
Focus!
Sam and Daniel? That I just don't see.
Which Daniel is she attracted to?
Jack thought Daniel was gay? Oh, they're having fun with all the shippers
now, aren't they?
I'm allowing them the Sam/Jack thing of 'Threads' if it means they can mercilessly take the piss this week.
We're already through the ep? Can they really wind this story up in six minutes?
That's such a Jaffa approach: Just keep on shooting, whether it's having an effect or not
It only took her five minutes to get to know him better. I think I could get to know Jack well enough in five minutes
That was so cool... You have to love all the nods to the movie and the pilot that they throw in this week
So do alternate Sam and Jack have a happy little life in ancient Egypt?
That's the wonder of time travel. It only happens if it never happened.
Daniel and Teal'c swapped clothes!
Okay, shouldn't that mean Atlantis get the ZPM next week? I don't know. Can they use the ZPM to dial up and then send it through without losing the wormhole?
