Season Nine

Go To Episode

Avalon pt I

"Ninth series" just sounds so spectacularly exciting
How exactly does Ben Browder wrangle top billing? Ben Browder! The Sci-Fi channel may have killed his show for this one, but he’s clawed his way onto it! I’ve missed him and his leather trousers. Interestingly, it only takes them about four episodes to get him and Daniel into them on this show. Now, this is going to be confusing: For years I thought that Michael Shanks was just incredibly prolific before I realised Ben Browder was actually an entirely different person.
Chevron seven guy! I’ve missed you too!
Antarctica! The Antarctic sequences are always so fabulous
There's something incredibly funny about the way they've created an entire history for him. "Look! He's been here all along! You've just been looking in the wrong direction." And it's such a plausible history... He really could have been there all along
Ben Browder looks good in the gateroom, I wasn't worried that he wouldn't fit in exactly, because it's Stargate and I have far too much faith in it ever to be actually worried, but I was a touch unsure. Turns out he looks like he's been there for years
And he knows Chevron Seven Guy's name!
Those were bizarre titles. Ooh, the short American ones.
Walter's really holding the place together now isn't he?
SG-1 have a special ass-coverage agreement, I like that.
You can't ask people about their gremlins, it something you have to find out for yourself. I hate questions like that from your boss, because they rarely ever want to hear “Actually, I’m a work-shy gossiper with real time management issues.”
"Actually kryptonite is my kryptonite..."
“Push the button to talk, sir.” Walter is now on his third general, and has no problem in breaking them in.
I love the description of Walter as “the little sergeant with psychic powers”. He must have other jobs than yelling “chevron seven engaged”, and being psychic must be one of them.
He gets to pick his own team?
No, I would imagine that General O’Neill would have firmly ignored his desk and all that it contained for as long as possible. I cannot stress enough how much I love the fact that Jack never opened a drawer for a whole year
Lt Col. Mitchell is such a fangirl! Look how disappointed he is that he didn't get to meet SG-1! He's practically stamping his feet and pouting. He’s going to want to put the band back together, isn’t he?
General Landry rocks. He should fit in well
Beard! Beard! They gave him a beard! Reassignment is no excuse not to shave. Urgh, stubble. Not fond of stubbly!Daniel, although that black t shirt is nice.
It's taken Daniel this long to tidy out the cupboards.
Daniel's never going to get to Atlantis. Daniel's going to Atlantis? Does McKay know about that? He's going to eat Daniel alive
Cameron came to join SG-1 and is now feeling dizzy and nauseous because they're not there
Daniel’s landlord must really hate him. He can never be sure if his tenant is alive or dead, or even living on this planet.
SG-me! He made a pun! Someone record the date of Lt Col. Mitchell's first pun. SG-Me would be a fantastic team
It seems sad that they've finally moved Major Davis out of the Pentagon, but they've still failed to give him a promotion.
"My allegiance with the Tau'ri..." That was a spectacularly well constructed sentence from Teal'c
He can't get lost on an alien planet on his first visit... For such a clever colonel, Cameron seems unable to understand the principle of just turning around and going back the way he came.
"And then they had to arrange the camera so it only filmed my face, because the rest of me is the size of a house..." Ah, Sam, filmed from the boobs up. Amanda Tapping is only going to get filmed from the shoulders up for the first half of the season isn't she?
It is nice
Mitchell is disturbingly obsessive about SG-1. It's a trait I admire in a man.
Do Sam and Mitchell have a history? There seems to be a frisson, and breakfast..?
He waved! Of course, Sam was too busy to see the wave…
Maybe he should form a new band, with Walter.
Jack can play chess?
By "the best of the best" he meant Walter
Does anyone else have a burning desire to meet the cave people of P3whatever?
There aren't any actual Ancients to speak the language to though.
Poor Dave, it's exciting for him...
I feel an android-goes-horribly-wrong plot coming up in the next few weeks
We met his Mum!
Yay! Dress uniform!Jack! Formal, yet looking about as casual as a man in dress uniform possibly can
I love Jack's conditional offer. It's best to make sure people know where the boundaries are.
Jack has found that some things just aren’t possible, even for a general. Jack has been offered "anything" himself before, and been horribly disappointed when he found out it wasn't true. He doesn't want anyone else going through that
That's an impressive amount of leather to put on one woman
“Where’s my Daniel?” Vala! She’s going to be fun. Plus, Claudia Black and Ben Browder in the same show again!
Poor, poor Daniel. Vala’s just going to enjoy toying with him.
Hmmm, I didn’t like her much last time, not liking her this time.
“Interesting but limited gene pool.” I do like Vala.
I love Daniel's expression of total resignation as they try to cut the bracelet off
Funnily enough, Daniel would actually give his right hand to go to Atlantis.
Look! Daniel fainted! In the first episode, no less. Nice to see that some SG-1 traditions are staying the same even if the line up is changing.
It's a sad day when you're holed up in a military base with a vast arsenal of alien weapons and you have to resort to hitting someone with a pillow
“Let’s make babies!” There’s such utter glee in her voice, and it’s a sly reference to the Farscape fans too.
And yet, this is still so far from being the worst day of Daniel's life...
"Dr Jackson discovers some key piece of information..." Cameron really has been watching the show!
Myrddin? Oh please. If you’re going to use the Welsh name, could you try for the right pronunciation? He’s only Myrddin in the Welsh texts, you know.
Merlin? Their new quest is to find Merlin?
It's really only Sam who can fake interest in Daniel's little talks.
I’d love to know what source material they used for this Arthurian stuff.
That picture of the round table is actually a fourteenth century table that still hangs on a wall somewhere in Canterbury today. It was made by one of the Edwards, who was fascinated with the Arthurian myths. It's in Winchester Great Hall, and it was Edward I, I think.
You know, I don't think anyone could describe Glastonbury as "west of London". I mean, it is, but so is *everywhere*.
Daniel's idea of making his talks shorter is to include exactly the same amount of information, but just to say it all far more quickly
Poor Cameron, he thought he had a cunning plan
I hope we get to see Lt Marks again, he seemed suitably impressed with his wheely chair.
Surely they could just ring down there? Ah, thank you Vala.
I get the impression Cameron Mitchell and John Sheppard went to flight school together.
How come there’s air? Did the Ancients have some sort of air conditioning system in operation down there?
I bet you they don’t go into the legends of Ron and Pridwen, Arthur’s spear and shield. That’s right, Arthur had a spear called Ron. I think he was running out of imagination by then. I was slightly concerned about the Arthurian backstory, but if it means we get to make more jokes about Ron the spear then I'm all for it. I've missed Ron
Isn't this very much the Asgard's style rather then the Ancients'?
Has Teal'c ever had anyone say "Yo!" to him before?
"For hundreds of years?" Daniel says that as if he's never been trapped in a vast underground space with a killer monster that's survived for millennia before...
“Especially once it gets to know you.” I love bitchy!Daniel.
Oh, that bodes. He’s going to have to learn not to say things like that.
Well, it's good to know SG-1 haven't lost their mojo.
I still find something very comforting in the fact that all ancient races with vast repositories of knowledge decide to protect it with games borrowed from The Crystal Maze
See, at least Vala knew it was a mistake when she said it! "I knew it was a mistake the moment I said it" is going to be my new motto
Mitchell made Teal'c hold the ceiling up!
Won't the ceilings stop when they hit the big stone altar things? Okay, so then maybe they'll suffocate instead of being crushed to death, but at least it's something

Avalon pt II

There are lots more true things than that
I love the fact that Daniel and Vala could have gone to their deaths bickering.
Blimey, it worked! Putting things back the way they were and trying again almost never works. There were two options and they got two goes to get it right? That doesn't seem terribly selective
Vala, put it back.
Teal'c's doing a sterling job with that ceiling
Cameron is showing a lot of initiative for a leader of SG-1
Hang on, the Ancients' way of weeding out the best and brightest was to make them do Lisa's lunchbox puzzle from The Simpsons?
Damn, out-fringedwelled by Vala, of all people.
Wait, I’m confused now. The Ancients have their own alphabet, but they put the puzzle in the room using numbers that Mitchell recognised? When did that system get introduced to Britain, and how does that tie in to a timeline? Or am I just over-analysing?
Cool! Technically that makes Cameron King Of all the Britons
Are we sure the sword is still a good idea... ah, there you go.
And the 10,000 year-old hologram looks like a Mediaeval knight... why?
Ooh, the full titles this time. It’s strange that there’s no Jack on them. *Reminds self Sam will be back in a few weeks.*
The new titles are in an excellent font.
Do they have sword fighting lessons at the SGC, just in case the skill is needed? I can almost guarantee college fencing isn't going to help. I always wonder what would have happened if Ana had managed to take those fencing lessons at university. Oh well, it’s another leg in the Trousers of Time, I suppose.
Oh great, flashbacks. That's just what you need in your commanding officer.
This basically means that anyone who watches The Simpsons and has a quiet obsession with Highlander could get through the Ancients' tests? I have to say I like their selection policy
Shouldn't they have left Daniel behind as well, since he was the other puzzle solver?
Oooh, a lateral thinker.
Oooh! Shiny!
"Dr Daniel Jackson finds the one book.. and the military guy inevitably finds something in a flagon"
It's a good book you can tell because it's all dusty.
For god's sake don't eat that!
"And they lived happily ever after?" Rarely if ever...
That's Latin for Stargates. Mitchell knows the Latin for Stargates?
She should try and keep the tiara
That's not news is it? *gets out Atlantis/Ancient timeline* Okay, it is news. We have a whole other galaxy to find!
That device looks funky. I want one.
Does Daniel ever actually breathe in?
You've got to like any General that comes with his own selection of military cliches.
Daniel wants that promise from Landry in writing. Or possibly embroidered on something.
Oh God, Jaffa politics. Snore.
Joe wasn't weird! Well, perhaps a touch, but if you'd been living in Jack's head for five years, you'd be a little unique too
I like that Cameron sees fit to cite where he got all his information from before anyone wastes time asking.
“Absolute... relative... certainty.” That’s a scientist that’s hedging his bets there.
I love Daniel giving Dr Lee an congratulatory little pat when he talks about his pointless research. It's a lovely moment of inter-nerd togetherness
*This* world's foremost expert...
“I’m going to watch from the observation room.” That’s also a scientist that doesn’t want to be in blast radius when something inevitably goes wrong.
My first thought was 'Oh God, period dress' but then my brain connected that with Daniel, and the future looked brighter. Medieval!Daniel in hose has just made my night. God bless tunics. Daniel in hose! In *hose*! Hose! I'm willing to overlook all kinds of historical inaccuracies if it means we get Mediaeval Daniel in hose and knee boots
If the staff on Atlantis wore hazmat suits every time they fiddled with a piece of Ancient technology... actually there'd be more of them still alive, perhaps they should wear hazmat suits.
How handy that they put their names on the wall like that.
Wave back!
I was about to make an inappropriate comment about General Landy and the Doctor, but they're father and daughter aren't they? I was just about to ask if he was trying to chat her up when that occurred to me too. For a moment, that definitely wasn't a father/daughter vibe. Landry and the doctor have to be father and daughter, right?
He didn't mean ha ha funny
Prostration is a religious ceremony? How disappointing is that?
Six hours? Good grief. That’s a lot of prostration. How on earth did she kneel for six hours without falling out of that bodice?
Daniel's washed up in an archaeologist? What are the odds?
So we've got another set of Gods on our hands?
Anubis was quite happy to both pose and intervene
I sense that Vala won’t be able to pull off ‘housewife’ well.
We should really be seeing Major Davis in those robes
Welcome to democracy, Teal'c.
I'm becoming surprisingly ambivalent about the beard. It's not nearly as distressing as I first found it
Vala! Don’t burn Vala!
Daniel doesn’t even have any luck with pretend wives. They end up dead too. Mind you, I don’t think any of his women have been barbequed before. They killed her in a horrifying fashion! I *knew* they read my letters.
Does Dr Lee have any kind of medical training?
Move Daniel and Vala over to the machine and use their hands to remove the stones
There's another woman living in her head! She's the very definition of possessed
Daniel announcing that they're aliens from another galaxy who are taking over people's minds isn't going to make them any less likely to be executed
Is this going to kill the woman Vala's possessing as well?
Get on your knees Daniel!
Eeeeuw, he’s cuddling the smoking remains.
Cameron's so disappointed he's not allowed to shoot things
Death and reincarnation: It's all part of life at the SGC.
I’m pretty sure that waking up being cuddled by Daniel would make me tingly all over.
Ooh! Actual powers...

Origin

Anyone seeing that previously is going to be very confused as to why Vala suddenly wasn't crispy any more
What's the point of sending one of your characters to a fire-y death if you're just going to resurrect her?
City of the gods? You’d have thought it’d be bigger.
Daniel’s boots have quite a high heel, don’t they? Daniel in high-heeled knee-boots is something I never expected to see anywhere outside of my imagination. It's a wonderful thing.
Bloody messengers of the Gods, you never get a straight answer out of any of them. Daniel should know by now that he won't get a straight answer out of a higher being
That's not Abydos, is it?
The sandy people don’t seem that interested in the Book of Origin
Teal'c's said more in the last three episodes than he has during the previous eight seasons
Sorry, three seconds into Teal’c’s little Jaffa politics explanation and I’m bored. It's incredibly hard to sum up eight years of Jaffa political backstory in an interesting way when you're not using Major Davis to do it
Eating fruit in a religious context is just asking for trouble.
Ana does that! Ana always has to flip to the end of the book to see how it ends and it really bugs me!
I would think a few more of them believe after the whole bringing-the-person-back-from-being-a-crispy-fried-appetiser event
It's probably not the wisest idea to keep telling them you have proof that they're lying.
All this higher state of enlightenment stuff must be causing Daniel a real sense of deja vu.
So you don’t have a problem with religious belief providing no one actually wants to believe? I think Stargate is trying to make an incredibly salient point. Either that, or they just stumbled blindly into a minefield.
"But I don't want to take SG-12!" Poor SG-12. Nobody ever mentions them. I bet they get all the really crappy missions.
I like the idea of being in the market for a new god. There could be new god trade-fairs. They could all have stands, and representatives and free brochures
See, if only Daniel had asked that earlier.
“Quite the entourage” says the man with twenty armed guards in the gate room.
The jaffa leader would look a touch more impressive if he wasn't wearing a rug on one shoulder
At the back of that little group are a few fringedweller jaffa, saying “Blessed are the cheesemakers?”
If they're stupid enough to fall for it again, perhaps it would be better to just cut you’re your losses and leave them to it.
It does help you to predict the outcome of Time Team though.
Finally Daniel gets the recognition from the deities he's been waiting for.
I'm oddly excited by the feeling that all this could be Daniel's fault.
"Revelation of your destiny" just sounds bad, doesn't it?
That is an incredibly stupid piece of clothing for the Doci. It looks like he’s wearing a toasting fork. He looks exactly like The Demon Headmaster.
“Whence you come”? Surely that should be “Whence you came”? Past tense and all that.
In the words of Oscar Wilde, "I could deny it if it liked; I could deny anything if I liked."
Please tell me it wasn't his brother... Ha! Landry's first post-emptive fringedwelling!
It's usually an 'offworld activation' – Walter is trying out some new styles.
The Ancients also had an endless supply of waffles.
"What is a god..." That's actually a very good point
'Decided to' would be a better way of phrasing it than "misinterpreted"
I think Daniel needs to pick his audience better.
Is this a subtle comment on the pointlessness of religious fanaticism? Stargate embed these points so deeply in the storyline that sometimes it's hard to tell if they're really there at all
Only a member of SG-1 could get away with standing in front of a high priest and telling him that his religion was based on many people being very wrong. If someone in SG-12 did that they’d be killed.
Okay, the Ancients seeded life in the other galaxies they visited, so isn't it about time someone considered the possibility that they actually are, to all intents and purposes, Gods?
No religion should be based around the worship of that poor a special effect
Walter's in charge of distributing stationery!
You can tell that Vala’s been nosing around in the cupboards.
There’s a nice little nod to The Princess Bride there, with a reworking of the old “I do not think that word means what you think it means” line.
Okay, so the Alterans are the Ancients who, when they ascended left people behind who evolved into the Ori, who in turn left behind the people who become their worshipers. Is that right?
The Ancients really are an irresponsible bunch.
"That's a lot to keep track of..." And at least three of them will be far too busy watching football to be worried about unbelievers
Daniel still looks startling sexy in those boots
And now Daniel has a cloak too... *Dies happy*
“Not bloody likely.” That’s the most honest thing that Vala has ever said.
*confused*
Any enlightenment worth having would spell itself out clearly, using small words and visual aids.
I love the way Walter has no problem wandering in and out of the room in the middle of the incredibly dramatic religious speech
Hopefully what they said was "Don't trust the Ori (I'm convinced that should be written 'Aurae')! Ori bad!"
Burnt alive twice in two episodes, what are the odds? Actually, since it's Daniel the odds are probably quite short
Now that was a good fire effect. You’re going to be able to smell crispy fried Ori for a while in there. There's going to be a little singe mark on the lino in the command room that they'll never be able to get out
It nice to know Walter's General-managing and stationery supply duties haven't made him too busy to encode chevron seven
Cameron has been watching the back episodes!
No! Poor innocent people! Poor Harid and Salis! One moment they’re pottering around their home and the next they’re being roasted alive!
Why do I get the feeling he's going to get a sharp shove into the flames of enlightenment?
John Lithgow! Finally! I’ve just realised that the new Ori priest guy has been reminding me of John Lithgow.
Grown women shouldn't wear bunches.
Eeeep! Yay! Unexpected Jack!
Unexpected formal!Jack in fact!
They did have someone looking out for them: General Hammond. He was far more reliable than any higher power
Jack helpfully runs straight over Daniel's emotional outburst. But he does it in such a comforting kind of way... And I bet he buys Daniel cake afterwards
Teal'c can tell you who they saved it from each time, and how they did it too. He probably has a list. Teal'c has an actual chart, with pictures.

The Ties That Bind

Vala! Don’t go!
I bet she’s hiding a lot more down her cleavage.
She's going to steal the thing.
I hope she fell over on the other side.
Look! Daniel’s collapsed again. There’s something that’s never happened before.
Daniel is suitably freaked out by being woken up by Mitchell.
The last time this happened he threw something at her.
Wouldn't Vala be unconscious on the other side of the 'gate? How did she get back?
All meetings are a waste of time.
He was so close to that promotion...
That's a really half-assed theory
Wasn't Landry supposed to be being helpful?
Please, please, please let General Landry put the leather trousers in their uniform rotation. I’d like to say that it only took Stargate four episodes to put Ben Browder in leather and it took a whole season in Farscape. There is absolutely no reason for the leather trousers is there? Other than the obvious reason of course. Where did the leather trousers come from? Does the SGC have a big cupboard full of slightly kinky undercover-wear? Why haven't they been in it more often?
I love Daniel's desperate little wiggle as he tries to sit gracefully in skintight leather
Are they sure she didn't physically take his heart?
That guy must have had something Vala wanted, nobody would get carnal with him otherwise.
They're cutting the SGC's budget to pay McKay's expenses? I suppose the cost of all that cocoa butter mounts up.
Aha, there we go, a stolen necklace.
Actually, Vala’s right. They would have screwed her plan up. It works so much better when they don’t know they're the distraction.
I love that these people can pull guns on each other in the middle of a crowded market and nobody around them bats an eyelid.
Daniel looks quite enamoured of the pit-fighting idea
I don't think Daniels ever been thanked for random information before
The chanting would push me over the edge
I do like the homicidal monk.
Ah! The unconvincing aliens return. Asgard apart, the non-human aliens in Stargate always seem very unconvincing. It's such a non-prosthetic-alien-having kind of universe
Daniel is so much like a four year old.
I'd love to see Vala let loose with a credit card. It must be more entertaining than this episode, leather trousers notwithstanding.
Airperson Finney looks less than impressed with Vala’s come-on.
By now the SGC should have sprung for a pair of glasses that don’t break so easily.
Daniel’s desperately trying to figure out how Vala got past a guard and two locked doors.
Did Daniel just say "shalln't"? Shalln't is a superb word
Okay, the SGC must have provided her with those pyjamas. Those are military issue pyjamas. There is seriously a special clothing cupboard in the SGC that we're being sadly deprived of seeing
I'm tired of the Daniel and Vala show.
Don’t fall for it Daniel, she’s playing you!
Teal'c in a suit! Look at Formal!Teal'c!
Formal!Daniel should have shaved. He needs to straighten his tie a little too
Most of the billions of dollars are being spent on silly hats for the SGC. If they dialled back on those then I bet they’d still have enough to go on missions.
"Along come these magical Ori..." No other show would have the balls to point out their own plot-holes quite so blatantly
"Against any potential threats..." I just made *exactly* that noise
I love Vala’s tights almost as much as I love the fact that she just accused a very important government person of having a small penis.
Teal'c has his own disclaimer!
Daniel gives Vala a wonderfully suspicious look when she waves Teal'c goodbye
"He'll be back." *Such* a fan girl.

The Powers That Be

Jelly! Cameron's first official jelly! They gave him his own colour jello!
Either Vala got bored of bothering Daniel, or he’s finally snapped and locked himself into the going mad room.
Leave poor Cameron alone. The boy's got to eat
She stole his jelly! Oh, nice catch Cameron! *fond of a man who's that dedicated to desserts*
I thought Teal'c went home?
Vala has the Air Force’s only military bolero jacket. Or she stole it from a very short air person.
Oh god, it's not going to be the Vala Hour again is it? They have so many interesting and exciting new characters why spend all your time on someone as one dimensional as her?
He's seen that too
This is as painful as sitting through a school production. I think my worship will need to involve far more exciting things than amateur dramatics
It may well involve ordering Daniel though
Vala's Goa'uld voice sounds scarily natural
Good lord, that flimsy scrap of material shows just how skinny Claudia Black really is. I like the boots though, it’s a nice Tank Girl-style touch.
I'm still very concerned by Landry and Dr. Lam's extremely non-parental vibe
Those boots don't match that outfit at all
I'd hold out for 25%
A god-off is a truly fantastic concept. That’d be interesting, you could make them arm wrestle or see how many commandments they can make in sixty seconds or see who can bake the best cake. I’d worship a god that won a god-off.
It usually hits you just after you're executed.
How on Earth does she get a military jacket to frame her breasts like that?
Note to Cameron- always get the details of bizarrely named customs before agreeing to them
She’s making good progress at getting her head through those bars.
Daniel has a very spotty record in these trial situations, he might not be the best choice for defence lawyer
The villager needs to make another chart. Much like the one I'm making to keep track of the Ancients.
Couldn't the villagers be put on trial for being naive idiots?
"She came forward..." Four years later! Under duress!
It’s John Lithgow! Well, not really, it’s the bloke that reminds me of John Lithgow.
He only tried to burn Daniel alive once
It seems sad that it takes the Evil!Ancients to point out that the Ancients were a kind of selfish bunch.
Daniel tries desperately to mention all that stuff Oma said.
The Prior had no comeback to that at all
Stargate really are trying to make a political point.
I need to start watching Nip/Tuck again
Perhaps its my monitor, but that cafeteria looks very dark.
If you don't get on very well with your father, it's probably not the best idea to take a job at his workplace.
Cameron bought cards with him! I can't help thinking that so many missions would have gone so much better if someone had thought to bring something for Jack to amuse himself with
"You think... he will merely go away?" I think he'll blow the planet to smithereens
Oooh, Cameron's exerting a little authority. Jackson! Heel!
“I know, I’m your dad”. Were the writers seriously trying to make us think that the Landry/Lam relationship could possibly be anything else, or did they just realise that its been five episodes and they haven’t mentioned it?
Do we know that it's similar to the Ancient plague?
Of course they're going to need a miracle, that's the point.
That’s it? Mitchell gets ill off camera? They can't hurt Cameron, he's all shiny and new!
Poor Cameron slept through his first exciting adventure.
I think after being struck down by a scary and unnatural plague, I'd want to stay lying down for a while until I was quite sure I was better
Okay, I had a huge rant about Vala and how she's the antithesis of feminism, but the example of what men (and idiotic women) think feminism is all about, but then the Ori showed up and were all cool and I forgot to write it down.

Beachhead

Sam! Previous Sam! Does that mean we get actual Sam this week?
"What say you to the promise of the Ori?" "Well, the narrative was a little patchy in places and we think it lacks a strong female character..."
Well, that worked out well.
Now that's just showing off
It seems very strange to hear Walter addressed by his title after eight years of him never being acknowledged.
I'm still incredibly impressed that the 'gate can text. I can only imagine the sort of messages that would come back from Atlantis. “Out of coffee. Also send chocolate and porn. Love, Atlantis.xxx”
Foul! Foul! Twice Mitchell just bounces off Teal’c. I find that funny.
Panting, muscular!Daniel! Ooh, Daniel’s fazed out the facial fuzz! Much better.
Ben Browder has a very nice gait.
He wants to work for them? Doing what exactly?
But they're making sure he gets a really uncomfortable mattress
Like Mitchell didn’t know they looked cool before he joined.
Do we know who he is? I'm sure he's familiar
I think I'd throw a tantrum at not getting to meet Jack too
I think that one thing you can say with certainty is that Vala definitely is not Colonel Carter.
The prior should have bought a chair, and something to read. It looks like he's going to be there for a while
I'm inclined to agree with the Goa'uld however he decides to speak
Nine years, and we just found that out.
Oh, this is such a bad idea. Do we remember what happened last time we trusted a Goa'uld.
Isn't the whole point of a force-field to not have a weakness?
Does Daniel have anything to do in this episode besides look mildly perplexed?
Whheeeee!!!! Sam! Sam! Sam! *resists urge to virtually hug Sam* Sam! The band’s back together, and it’s nice to see that Jack’s sense of humour hasn’t changed any for being off screen.
Look, they’re in the little black saving the universe outfits! Not only are they back together, but they're all wearing the same colour!
Look at Walter try and get himself into the important briefing.
Cam is just the happiest person alive
I love Sam's dismissal of Vala as the "extra back-up singer". I like the idea of SG-1 having backing singers.
I have a grudging respect for someone who accessorises a black ops uniform. I love Vala’s indignant swish of the scarf. There is no reason for Vala to have that scarf except so she can dramatically fling it about, and that's a good enough reason for me
Why did they go through the 'gate to get on the Prometheus?
Shaft? *too many jokes*
“I know darling, I’ve stolen it before.” Sorry, but I just love her.
The lunch ladies have done themselves proud. They've even been and swiped a job lot of fancy flagons and things from Daniel's office, unless that's the kind of stuff they usually have knocking around the canteen.
He hasn't even tasted the jelly yet...
I think best when I'm eating too. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it
Only when necessary, and when we need an explosion to liven things up.
Landry really needs to read that "How to Tell When A Goa'uld Is Obviously Setting You Up" manual which Jack left in his office.
Actually, everything she says *is* innuendo, that's why she's so annoying.
Has the prior taken time out of his busy force-field extending schedule to create some atmospheric fog?
If both Sam and Cameron are Colonels, which one is in charge?
Why did Cameron start to take his belt off? Is he climbing naked into his spacesuit?
Notice we see them setting up the spacesuits, but we don’t see the embarrassing bit as they have to wiggle into them via a stepladder. Also notice Sam staying far far away from the planet and the suits.
I know that as soon as I was on the planet, I’d need to scratch my nose.
Cameron needs to find a more threatening opening line. Someone needs to talk to him about that "Yo".
Cameron's just been dying to use the phrase "Earth minutes"
Cameron and Daniel need to co-ordinate their approaches.
They should tickle the prior, see if it breaks his concentration
See! *feels post-empted*
Will the Jaffa ever learn to think before they act?
They invented the most powerful warhead ever, and they couldn't be bothered to refine the trigger mechanism?
"Immediate extraction" never sounds like a good thing
Words are always more effective when backed up with weaponry.
Oh that went well... Using your weapons to fuel someone else's forcefield isn't the best idea
Even the little control guy has been sucked into innuendo
Ah, Sam's in charge, unless the decision is difficult and then she hands over. Clever woman.
Rail guns! Sorry, I'm contractually obliged to be excited every time someone mentions rail guns
"There is a direct correlation..." *slightly confused* Were we not meant to have noticed that before?
If they're heading for you, then move!
It's a 'gate. They're making a stargate!
It's a *huge* stargate! That may be the most impressive thing I've ever seen
The answer is always a black hole. Black hole! They made a black hole!The Ori might have some seriously untenable religious teachings and a massively inflated sense of their own divinity, but by god (excuse the pun) they've got some style
Typical, the one time Vala has anything useful to contribute she gets ignored.
Shouldn't the Prometheus be sitting a little further away from the black hole?
I think that was a psychosomatic collapse
"I've witnessed their power..." and yet has failed to witness SG-1's run of blind luck and exceptional coolness that means they can almost always overcome that power
Perhaps a diet? Hah!
Look, SG-1 is visiting Daniel in hospital. It’s just like old times.
I almost feel sorry for the Ori. Letting Vala loose among them is just evil! There's not a better place for her, in my opinion.

Ex Deus Machina

I feel compelled to mention the appearance of Major Davis, even if it's only in the previously. Why do I get the feeling I should have been watching that previously instead of spending the time hunting for a pen?
I so didn't expect that... For I moment I thought 'when did the Jaffa get cars?'
If you hit that, you'd run
Yu! With Jack gone, nobody is going to make any Yu jokes. That saddens me.
Cameron and Daniel are co-ordinated!
Sam! Sam! Okay I have to do something about these random exclamations. They're becoming a habit
Sam's satisfyingly happy to let Daniel do the heavy lifting
Since when is Daniel better at spatial awareness than Sam?
Arrive. Set up internet connection. Then unpack. That was basically my priority when I moved
It seems that the SGC’s amazing laptops come with an amazing search engine that doesn’t give you links to Amazon, hawkers of viagra or free smileys, just the exact information you need.
Did he get to Richmond, Virginia?
So, you defeated the Goa'uld did you, without any help whatsoever?
“I needn’t remind the council...” But I will, because it seems that I’m that sort of person.
You know, the Jaffa really are more trouble than they're worth.
We're still not seeing diplomatic!Major Davis
They really should clue Mitchell in about little etiquette issues before he storms in mouth first.
For some reason Cameron's sudden production of that polaroid is incredibly funny
What's the point of a McDonalds healthy option if it come with fries and a coke (for the confused- that was me fringedwelling the ad break and has no relevance to the show whatsoever. I'm leaving it in though)
Wise choice to send Daniel to winkle information out of the abandoned wife.
Why is this woman telling Daniel her marital problems?
I've checked and I know it's not just me, Daniel looks incredibly sexy tonight
Well, not very appropriate at all actually. On the other hand, they know they're going to work
Sam's wearing earrings. Have we seen Sam in earrings before? How long has Sam had pierced ears? Are you allowed pierced ears in the Air Force? If you're not allowed to wear earrings in P.E lessons, surely you can't in combat?
Sam got the bum’s rush from a bimbo in a handkerchief masquerading as a skirt, that’s just not right.
Sam doesn't look all that threatened by the blonde woman's bouncers. Sam tries to look intimidated by the two men wearing mismatching suits.
Baal! Formal!Baal! (I think it's worth noting that I didn't just type that, I yelled it out loud too). Baal! He’s looking very dapper. Baal! In a Suit! I'm so surprised and excited I just threw my tea everywhere.
Isn’t there anyone working late nearby that would notice a spaceship land on a roof?
That poor blackjack playing employee. He’s never going to goof off on the internet on company time ever again.
I love formal!Baal. Well, if there was one Goa'uld who was going to embrace fashion, it was probably Baal.
They're all wearing different uniforms. The team obviously hasn't re-established their pre-meeting telephone calls.
I'd have spent a firefight hiding under my desk too
The Kiss joke was funny
Baal's Australian? South African? Something is seriously the matter with my South African-identifying skills, which until recently were top notch. I think this whole Mark Van flippin' Guisbergen incident may have damaged them irreparably
I don't believe Baal for a second
You know, I never had a thing for Baal before, but suddenly he appears in a suit and poof! It's like it's been there all along. *mentally strokes formal!Baal* I'm trying to figure out if I've always felt this way about Baal too, or if it's just the influence of the really good suits.
"Most dire" when he could have used devastating... Shame on him, he'll be getting a letter of reproach from the charming villain's guild for that
Their patches velcro on? How do they not fall off during missions?
Teal’c is lacking velcro.
Bless, he's so happy. Look at the little smile.
Don’t forget to tell him about the shiny boyfriend whose heart you ripped out and stamped on. I think he might like that one.
Who has been looking after Cassie in the intervening year and a half ?
He's really not sad about that.
Poor Agent Barrett. It could mean "leave me alone, creep" or it might mean "I'm experimenting with lesbianism". Either way it means, "stop discussing it now, I have a gun, and I know how to use it."
It’s lucky that the Prometheus isn’t off in Atlantis. Hang on, do Prendergast and Caldwell have a joint custody arrangement for the ship? That's not the Prometheus, that's the Daedalus.. They're two different ships
The far side of the moon! Such a sci fi cliche.
Two Baals?
Baal's moving into the science and technology field? It's like they're actually reading my thoughts...
Okay, he clearly is South African, I can see that now
People shouldn't speak in acronyms. Will the Jaffa know what FYI means?
For a moment there I thought they were going to say they'd infiltrated the SGC via Walter.
Sam had such a cool exit. That CIA guy is now more in love than ever.
Daniel and Agent Barrett seem just the slightest bit uncomfortable at being left alone together
Wow. Walter got to launch something
Maybe there *is* naquada everywhere. Why would the instruments lie?
How hard is that to understand?
Can they just beam the building somewhere?
Ha! Bow before my knowledge of possible plot-twists. Won’t people notice the lack of an entire building? Even if they spread some rubble around would an explosion really take out just one single building and leave no other damage?
You give Daniel one job, and he completely fails to get it done.
I truly hope Baal escaped
No! We only just got him back! That’s a Baal, but there were two, weren’t there?
No! They blew him up!
Clone? *suddenly very, very attached to the idea of Baal clones* There's more than one Baal? *mind boggles*
Did they have to beam some rubble back just to make the explosion story seem convincing? See! People don’t believe that frankly weak cover story either. Which is why the writers made Baal turn the tv off.
Wow! Multiple Baals! how cool is that? Baal! Many Baals! I think my favourite is bartender!Baal. All the Baals are living together? *mind explodes* There are just so many...
There's a joke about too many Baals in there somewhere, but I have to admit defeat.

Babylon

Damnit, I was fetching pizza and answering e-mails about Geraint Jones and I haven't had time to find the right tape! *panics wildly at taping Stargate on the wrong tape*
Teal’c is the only one without natty headgear. I suppose after growing the hair, he wants to show it off.
Of course Mitchell would wear his hat backwards.
Mitchell's bored with the SG-1 lifestyle already?
Teal'c could cope with Jack's mocking, but Mitchell's includes actual impressions. Nine years of Teal’c impersonations gives Daniel an edge over Cameron.
After all their many adventures, do SG-1 really need to be told to get down when the staff blasts come their way?
Oooh. SG-22. They're new! Is that the highest numbered SG team we've ever seen?
“What’s your position?” “Currently straddling a muscular jaffa, what’s yours?”
Poor SG-22, they don’t get flash saving the universe outfits. SG-22 do so much better than SG-1 because they've grasped the basics of camouflage.
Should Sam be calling him 'Cameron' on an official radio?
That's so going to turn out to be a good guy Cameron just blasted
It's only their second mission and already Carter has lost her commanding officer. People are going to be suspicious.
Coming to and seeing a man stroking a staff weapon in a menacing manner can’t be fun.
So the Jaffa rebellion happened before?
Teal'c should be more smug about the high quality of his information
Always with the enlightenment...
What does Sam want, map directions? “Enlightenment, third star from the right and straight on till morning?”
Cameron's chest hair is ruining a perfectly good naked shot
Daniel seems to spend an awful lot of time sitting in the medical observation post. You shouldn’t be able to watch operations like that. Or if you do, you should eat popcorn in an effort to annoy the surgeons.
They tried so hard to find another way to say 'invisibility cloak'.
I think Daniel's gone further on more
I appreciate all this half naked Ben Browder, but I could do without the gaping stomach wound.
Shot in the side, remember?
Don't take the poultice off... Stupid boy
To be fair, Mitchell didn’t ask if he could leave before he tried to slit his throat.
At least, no one who has attempted the journey has wanted to come back. So we think they’re dead.
She's working for the military, what did she expect?
No! Ga.. Oh, it's a hanging. *takes deep breath*. Everything went red for a moment and I was convinced my TV had died. But it was just an excessive close-up of a banner
So this elite group of Jaffa were so successful, we've never heard of them before?
Ishkar had a point. The Ancients buggered off and left everyone to fend for themselves.
I'm starting to get really ticked off with this "their fate is no concern of ours" attitude
Cameron doesn't look like he wants to die.
How do these Jaffa get new symbiotes if they don't follow the Goa'uld?
Are the random Oriental children important?
This is why I like Mitchell! He asks the right questions.
There is no way that this training sequence will go well for Mitchell.
Any avenue that doesn't lead to certain death is worth exploring
I wouldn't want my pudding next to my mashed potato.
There are some cleaning ladies who are going to be incredibly upset at him calling the SGC squalid
Other people have to drink that water and it's now got Mitchell's sweat in it.
Head down, Mitchell. *Don't* make a scene
Run Cameron, run! See Cameron run! Or, rather, watch Cameron get knocked on his arse a lot.
You have to admire his bloody mindedness.
Never trust a man with a lyre.
Those kids are only watching the training sessions so they can calculate odds on the final battle.
'No true warrior depends on a weapon..." Try telling that to a pilot. Do pilots do much hand-to-hand combat?
"Who was he?" His brother? Nephew? Gay lover? My money's on brother. There's always a brother in these situations
His opponent is going to be his trainer, isn’t it?
I have to say this is a good look for Mitchell. I particularly like the shin guards over bare calves, which is for some reason is becoming a bizarre fetish of mine
He faced his death, accepted it, and then members of SG-1 kept turning up and hassling him.
The Ori are fundamentally opposed to beverages?
I bet they actually did ask him for a haiku. Has he given them a moderately poor haiku?
“How is he?” “Singed.”
See, SG-1's comedy scientists are off screen.
It's only been two weeks! General Hammond used to let rescue missions go on for years
"We've never left a man behind." I'm sure they must have done. At least once
Now that's just creepy
Mitchell trying to argue that the proof of the Prior's power is proof that they're not Gods?
Why would you waste time reflecting when you could be out hitting things with sticks?
The Daniel/Teal'c double act is part of their interrogation technique?
Daniel's more than capable of just irritating that information out of him
Well, that wasn't predictable at all. See. There's always a brother
It's a weird shutterspeed thing they're doing with this fight. *pretends to know something about camerawork* I do wish they wouldn't arse about with the shooting speeds on fight scenes. It just makes it look like their actors can't do the stunts.
Thing is, we know that they’ll never kill off a lead character that they just spent seven episodes getting us to care about, so this death scene is just a waste of time. I sense subterfuge with the help of herbal tea.
Now he *has* had his teeth whitened. (Seriously, there are people out there who are going to *laugh*at that)
If anybody isn’t going to get the Star Trek reference, it’s this guy.
Oh, what would you give just *once* for Walter to have been kidding... Walter tried to joke once, but General Hammond tutted at him. “You’re kidding me!” “Yes, I get my kicks randomly calling people who have a team member missing in action and getting their hopes up, only to laugh in their faces. Bwah hah hah, I am Walter, Evil Genius In Training. By the way, chevron seven is locked.”
"Lucky is good" Mitchell understands the secret of SG-1's success.
Did they give the de-symbianted bloke tritonin to take home, or is he going to die an agonising and painful death?

Prototype

The very least the Sky Announcer could do is learn to pronounce 'Goa'uld' properly.
Sam reminds herself that all commanding officers like to waste time on pleasantries.
Did Walter dial correctly? Has the otherwise infallible Walter dialled a wrong number?
That was a rather sinister close-up of Carter. Are we meant to be reading something in to that?
Walter's role has expanded since Jack left. Maybe Jack was holding him back.
That abnormal signature is helpfully labelled for any non-scientific types that may see the graph.
It is always SG-1's fault, Sam just likes to blame other people.
So it would let, say, a bomb through, but but not a person? What kind of defence mechanism is that?
This sounds like a 'do not remove' badge, and so of course SG-1 will go to remove it...
Look at Teal’c showing off without a shirt!
See, I'd want confirmation we could dial home *before* I stepped through the 'gate.
Someone’s been busy with a dry ice machine on that planet.
After nine years, SG-1 haven't progressed beyond poking and seeing what happens. Please tell me that they told Sam, the designated Responsible Adult, that they went playing with the rings.
Mitchell has all their missions on handy index cards, doesn't he?
Don’t press…damn it! Don't press..! See I told you.
“New guy!” yells Daniel, conveniently forgetting that he was prone to prodding things himself, and that Jack did it on a regular basis. Daniel is allowed to poke randomly, because he's invulnerable. New guys, who've already been in mortal peril twice aren't allowed to poke.
They should just send a medical team out with SG-1 anyway. It would save time in the long run.
God, just let the guy sleep would you.
Nirti didn't have to be a woman
Watch them completely dismiss the black hole in a single sentence... "Let's just casually toss our plot device to one side and move on, shall we? If we do it quick enough nobody'll notice!"
Landry needs to learn to respond to these demands for guards.
They should have called this episode “Son of Anubis”. Much cooler title. A title like that deserves its own mini-series
Dr Lam re-thinks that military post once again.
"What would that take?" I don't know precisely, but I'd be making sure he didn't get his hands on any candles any time soon
That’s a very harsh stance from Daniel.
The evil guy is English! There's nothing like following stereotype
Yep, impressively over dramatic, that's Anubis' son. Who knew you could pass on melodrama genetically?
I think he's killed someone too. Damned if I can remember who though
You have to love Daniel's wonderfully bored ennui in the face of all this drama
“One of us will feel the pleasure.” Yes Kalek, but the problem with baddies of the week like this is that we know that they won’t win because their names aren’t on the credits.
I don’t know why they bother informing people about these situations. They could easily keep it quiet.
"What would we do without you?" Have to recap the past four episodes yourselves?
They did manage to prevent the establishment of the supergate, granted that was an accident, but still.
He does need studying but Wolsey really doesn't understand the risk
They have a guest nerd! I like that new Major, he's going to die horribly isn't he?
That guy really does look like a Dick to me.
I wish they'd stop saying that this is a process of evolution. It's not evolution in any way
“Ascendometer”. Mitchell, like Ford, shouldn’t be allowed to name things.
Sam did a "ya think?"!
I'm not entirely sure putting him back in stasis with his abnormal brain abilities significantly increased is such a good idea.
What? What does it mean?
Well, it won’t let him through to the planet will it, it'll send him somewhere else?
They're setting him up, aren't they?
I don't think Mitchell can spare any brain cells.
How obliging of Teal'c to knock the others out as well. Having Teal’c land on you must hurt.
Mitchell does exactly what we all do when faced with a card reader that doesn't work. You turn it around, you scan it through very slowly, and then you call in backup with weapons.
Teal'c saves the day with his unfeasibly large crow bar.
Sucker!
How on earth did Daniel get round there?
I always wondered what it looked like behind the 'gate
Sam held back for dramatic effect.
“Are we done gazing at the dead body?” “Yeah, there’s only so much dramatic impetus you can wring from a scene like this.”

The Fourth Horseman pt I

Oooh arms! Lots and lots if muscular arms! You know, I remember when Daniel was a little slip of a thing and didn't have those kind of arms at all... Oddly I rather miss it. SG-1 are being very healthy since Mitchell joined. Downtime with Jack meant jelly not exercise.
I hope this is a ploy on Garrick's part. Do I need to say again how utterly useless the Jaffa are? You leave them alone for five minutes and they find another god to enslave them.
I've read reports like that. I have sneaking suspicion I've written a few of them too
Anti-Prior Gun? Cameron definitely shouldn't be allowed to name things
Something positive did come out of the Calek situation, in that Wolsey is far more respectful of SG-1's judgement now. That will certainly help them. The fact that the world didn't end was pretty positive.
I think Sam was rather hoping that the departure of Jack would mean she could pitch her reports at a higher level than "gun = cool"
Why would the rest of the Jaffa have no choice? They've rebelled against false gods once, you would think they could manage to do it again
What's the big deal with ascension anyway? Enlightenment probably isn't all it's cracked up to be.
Sam's just spent six months in Area 51, she's finally honed her ignoring scientists skills.
Hammond! Civillian!Hammond!
No! Don't infect Hammond! You can't bring him back just to give him a scary disease
Shouldn't all of them be quarantined?
Teal'c called him Chief Harriman. That's a serious level of respect
This isn't the same gas and bait store that Jack infected with the bug-seeing thing a few years back is it?
You can take out the Priors with death metal? I knew there was a reason I hung on to that Paradise Lost album
Oh, you know it's a bad day when the metaphors go
Why have I always thought Cheyenne Mountain was in the North-East somewhere, and nowhere near Kansas at all?
"My sleeves are rolled up as high as they will go." On this plus side he has his gift for metaphor back
Well, this is different. Sam's had a lot of awful things happen to a lot of boyfriends, but having one turn into an adolescent is definitely new
Sam's finding it hard to get over the disappointment that he didn't return in his previous body. As am I. He could have been Sean Patrick Flannery...
Her intimate relations were in the mission report?
Sam desperately tries to keep her reputation intact.
Considering last time Orlin was here he made a Stargate out of a toaster, if he offers to help they should accept it
Now why couldn't they have given us the plotted Atlantean/Ori history before! It's finally all starting to make sense now. That's the explanation Diminuendo and I finally agreed on after three hours of discussion. You'd think they could tell us these things earlier.
So, the Ancients aren't the cowardly bastards I thought they were? They're cowards. The Ancients are cowards
She needed a new toaster afterwards, so they weren't so much spare parts as parts.
Is Sam very slightly flirting with the teenage boy?
The very fetching hazmat suit/shades combination made me laugh so hard I missed that scene completely
I hope they've shut the airports down now. You can at least stop it spreading to other countries.
Blue jelly sighting!
What Sam would really like is if he'd stop talking about it loudly in the mess hall.
I have to say, despite the disappointment that he's not Sean Patrick Flannery, this kid's pretty good
I'm not sure how much being addressed by the Government would calm me if I was in a panic
If it's an airborne agent, shouldn't everyone in the SGC be in a hazmat suit?
I hope they try to turn the Prior off-base. Otherwise one slip of the frequency and he could immolate himself and who knows what else
Is it just me, or does Mitchell shout all the time?
Bill and Daniel seem to have a little something going on here.
If I worked at the SGC I'd be slipping brandy in my coffee mug by the end of the day too
"Bought your mind here... to be awed by a really poorly CGI'd fire"
I think I need a giant glass notice-board. I'm sure I'd be more organised if I had one
Well, it's about time.
See? Nothing but trouble.
Only Teal'c would chose to greet that entrance by appearing mildly quizzical

The Fourth Horseman ptII

They haven’t just poisoned his mind, they’ve given him some funky facial tattooing as well.
Making books fly in the air is a very impressive looking power, but not one of any actual use. Unless you're a librarian.
I can’t believe that anyone on the council would think that weird eyes and newfound telekinesis were reasons for accepting yet another alien race as their overlords. Given all they've been through with the Goa;uld, the jaffa remain spectacularly gullible
"And you've already got a lot on your plate..." Also, they're all infectious, so it's probably not such a good idea for the commanding officer to go anywhere near them.
Aren't pandemics inherently global?
I'm not sure I approve of someone who's idea of formal dressing involves turning his baseball cap round. Still, at least he's not wearing brown shoes with a black suit (okay, there are only about two people in the entire world who are going to get that joke).
Is anyone going to tell that poor man in the background that his enemy has gone off somewhere for a quiet cigarette and a cup of tea?
"The others are distrustful of you." Also, don't they think he's dead? Hang on, don’t these people think Mitchell is dead?
'Decimated' and 'wiped out' are very different. I wish they wouldn't use them synonymously. Decimated means losing one in ten. There should have been 90% of that civilisation left.
It's been so long since I saw the first part of this that I'd forgotten all about Orlin
So bad changes then?
Daniel's so happy at finally being promoted off the guinea-pig list. You know that if Jack was still around he would have made Daniel be the bait.
More hopeful than confident
It's amazing how much more cheerful Teal'c becomes once he's allowed to gather giant war fleets again. This diplomacy stuff really doesn't suit him
Have they tried saying it's bird flu?
So I get that the blond guy with the accent is meant to be European. Anyone fancy trying to narrow it down further than that? French? German? Norwegian?
The purpose of that meeting is most definitely to place blame.
Teal'c has a perfect right to be talking to the other jaffa. Doing it behind a column just makes him look shifty
Teal'c may be over-estimating Garak's remaining parts
The foxgloves somehow give away that it's Vancouver and not another planet.
Well, it's obviously not that frequency.
Daniel has the slightly frantic air of a woman desperately trying to retune her video two minutes before Stargate starts. Trust me on this one.
I sense the approach of a comedy fall...
Civilian!Hammond is ever so slightly unnerving
I love their automatic look upwards there.
It's going to be embarrassing if the Ori are all-seeing.
Is Mitchell safe with that staff? He's handling it with a worryingly casual air
It was a superb metaphor.
Snacking: the downfall of religion
Did the SGC have a child-sized Hazmat suit to hand or have they had tocut down an old one?
It's good to know that even the most brilliant scientists in the world still resort to pouring sand on dangerous substances.
Poor Bra'tac. He's gone through one war, all he wants to do now is have a nice sit down with a cup of tea and his slippers and tell all the little jaffa how much harder the fighting was in his day. He doesn't want to go through it all again
Jarlsberg?
Cheese and avocado omlette? I'm fond of cheese and equally fond of avocadoes, but I'm not sure I approve of putting them together with warm eggs
It seems harsh to take away his powers *and* criticise his pastry.
I make an excellent pie-crust. With just three ingredients
They're coming to destroy our ancients? Forgive me if I fail to see why that's a bad thing; with the exception of Orlin, (whose days are numbered anyway), and Daniel, (who doesn't really count), they've just sat back and twiddled their thumbs.
What idiot would pick that place to have a huge battle? Surely if you’re going to take on the might of the Goa'uld, you wouldn’t do it on a riverbank. There’s nowhere to go if things get a bit dicey, and all the Goa'uld need to do is drive you back into the river and you’ve lost.
God save us from Teal'c being philosophical.
Hammond's uncle was a wedding planner? Did I hear that correctly? I love the idea of Hammond having a flamboyant elderly uncle who planned fabulous parties during the war. I think that we should hear more about General Hammond’s overly dramatic wedding planner uncle. I think that there’s a mine of comedy gold there.
Hammond has grown more hair!
They're leaving it a bit late in this episode to avoid the deus-ex-machina ending aren't they?
Ah. That would be the deus-ex-machina ending then
Yeah, because naked flame around oxygen is a really great idea.
Well, the SGC fire response team were at high alert weren't they?
Sam's list of adopted children grows ever longer.
I'm going to confuse you all by making a comment about fashion (most unlike me). Sam's blue top is lovely
They put Orlin in an old people's home?
The curse of Sam continues, she hasn’t killed him but forced his brain to revert to mush while he goes through a second puberty. That’s just mean.

Collateral Damage

What a strangely animated city. Why not just shoot Vancouver from the top of a really tall building?
Twelve weeks in and already Cameron's gotten laid. Actually compared to Jack and Daniel, it's taken him *ages*. What has the boy been doing with his off-world time?
Why would Mitchell get a flashback that was from the perspective of the woman?
Didn’t Smallville have an episode like this? Smallville may have had a similar one (you're talking about 'Witness' right?), but Voyager had one that was virtually identical, and the fact that any show is pinching storylines from Voyager worries me immensely
I wouldn't want to accept a new job in my dressing gown.
BB has chosen to play this scene with a very bizarre voice
Should they allow their mission leader to be hooked up to a machine that alters memories like that? Is that altogether wise? Frankly, isn’t it straight out of the Jack O’Neill school of potential mission cock ups?
That would save so much time catching upon on lectures
That’s not learning! That’s institutionalised cheating!
SG-1 have a collective “Stop flirting!” look.
I really could have done with a straight forward SG-1 episode tonight. You know, one where they go
through the gate, almost destroy an entire civilisation by accident, but make it home in time for tea.
At least Daniel is registering some vague concerns.
Landry has a refreshingly unhypocritical point there
I'm hoping that, at some point this season, Carter will actually have something to do.
Money? Explosives? They're the usual two
"I'm hoping they'll be dancing." How has Mitchell survived in the Air Force? I want to see Cameron dance!
If there are scientists, there will be wallflowers. Doesn't matter what planet they're on
What kind of people go to a dance in fatigues?
There was also always be at least one person discussing hypothetical moralities instead of drinking
He did it. I don't necessarily know what he did but whatever it was, the shifty-looking bearded man did it
Carter subtly asks her commanding officer if he just struck lucky.
Daniel's very jealous of Cameron's "diplomacy"
“Why am I telling you this?” Narrative imperative.
"I could try." That's the point where Mitchell has to admit he doesn't really have any influence
He's wandering off without weaponry or back up? Someone needs to teach Mitchell some basic off-world survival skills. Not someone from SG-1, obviously.
“I’m not that clever.” I honestly believe that he’s not being modest there.
I bet she has a cat. All single female scientists on tv shows should have a cat, even if it lives on another world
Well, okay *that* does count as evidence. You'd think he would have mentioned the confession earlier
Surely crimes of passion require you to know someone for longer than three hours?
I love Stargate. If this was Smallville it would have taken them ten minutes to work out that was a memory implant
Sam does her bit as obligatory Voice Of Reason, but she knows that it’s useless.
They're trying to return him!
Would he still remember having remembered that memory at some point? *possibly as confused by that sentence as you are*
I'm glad I'm not in a position where someone might have the opportunity to see the seminal memories from my childhood. I just know the time I stood on a rake would stand out more than most.
I know that they have to give them something to do, but honestly, what use can an archaeologist and a man with a penchant for big guns in a conspiracy investigation?
When was the launch of the first space shuttle? How old is Mitchell if he saw the first space shuttle launch?
Sam suddenly realises she's walked straight into an emotional minefield she wasn't at all prepared for
Bless, it was just a single sentence, and he still couldn't manage it. Reports like that should have a little post-it note on the front that breaks it down in words that the military can understand. Walter should have made a surreptitious note on the back of his hand.
"Killing innocent people you say? I may be able to help you..." They all look so surprised that Cameron has a 'killing innocent people' memory. Considering every one of them has accidentally blown up a spaceship/base/planet/entire civilisation during their careers it shouldn't come as that much of a shock
Is that plane CGI'd? If it is they've done a superb job
Except that's an entirely different memory because as far as he's concerned it's a genuine target.
“Are you OK?” is always a stupid question, because people never are.
Framing the lead negotiator was the most generous terms I've ever seen.
They should have tried this a year ago. Jack would have been off that planet faster than they could say 'diplomatic immunity'
Okay, absolutely none of this memory business makes any logical sense does it?
OK, that was the twist I was expecting. There was no way it was going to be the Emissary, that was too easy. See! See! I can spot a shifty looking bearded criminal in a *second*
Any criminal stupid enough to erase his own memories deserves to be locked up for idiocy.
You can't have a memory of yourself when you aren't conscious.
Cameron quickly checks to see if the part where he got laid is still there
But they just recovered Mitchell's memories, why can't they recover his?
There's a man who's never read one of Jack's reports Of course, that's assuming Jack ever actually wrote any reports.
I am constantly amazed by all these military people who labour under the impression war won't be messy.
That's an excellent pep talk! "Leave son, you're a rubbish pilot," now that would be a bad pep talk.

Ripple Effect

There's something delightfully oxymoronic about "standard miracles"
Daniel refuses to accept he could be wrong about something.
Wow. Well that's a tactful way to tell Sam her father's dead, even if she should already know
Oh! *Excited*
Those marines aren't keeping their eyes on their targets all that well
How didn't anyone notice they were wearing a different uniform than the one they left in?
Martouf! Martouf was in the titles! Although, I note yet again, they missed a perfect opportunity for Major Davis.
Where are 'they'?
"Posits the existence of parallel universes... several of which we've been to before."
Poor Sam, sometimes, it's just like having Jack around. Sam doesn't seem like she'd let Cameron get as far as second base
Go alternate!Cameron! Cameron's gorgeously smug about his ability to get felt up in an infinite plurality of universes at least once
For a man who's woken up in one more than once, Daniel seems very sceptical about alternate universes
Instant? Who actually chooses to drink instant? *cuddles mug of freshly made hazelnut mocha with cream and sprinkles*
Lets call it Scenario C...
That third option is going to have Mitchell thinking all afternoon.
Quantum mirror mention! *Basks in continuity from nine years ago*
Okay, now they're just showing off... Landry so regrets giving Mitchell any of those past mission reports.
Although, all manipulative aliens tend to say that.
Pete! She married Pete! Yes! Shiny Pete got married!
I love the fact they've left Carter to deal with Carter. Carter always gets on so well with alternate hers
"Yep." Sam resolutely ruins the sarcasm potential of that remark
Another one! That's going to play havoc with Walter's record keeping for the afternoon. There's real pain in that 'again'
Alternate!Teal'c has an unfeasibly large staff weapon!
I'd like to visit the Grand Central Station of the Multiverse.
Landry just doesn't want to have to put up with any more SG1s.
"The one most likely to get in to trouble off world" I'm not sure I even need to make a joke about that
Dr Lee is feeling a little superfluous.
The alternate SG team in the lift arer ather impressive
Janet! Janet! I want to be disappointed that it's not Jack, but it's Janet!
A room full of Sams! Wow, it's Rodney McKay's ultimate fantasy.
Entropic Cascade Failure! Sorry, it just has to be repeated.
Martouf! *strokes Martouf* Yet again I want to be disappointed that it's not Jack, but it's Martouf!
Martouf really did have big teeth didn’t he? I'd forgotten how twinkly Martouf was
They let him join the SGC because he missed his girlfriend?
He's from an alternate universe! Sam would have so many more interesting things to talk about than who she's dated.
Martouf has no idea what's going on!
I told you Mitchell and Sheppard went to flight school together. Obviously, neither of them bothered to attend that 'Introduction to Aliens' lecture. Lesson One- Why Aliens Should Not Be Expected To Wear Pants
Well, the Asgard don’t get to reproduce sexually, so it's probably very informative for them to watch.
Technically, it's the *one* top mind in sixteen universes.
We should get to see this Asgard more often.
Cameron is so the kind of person who's amused by anecdotes about his own life
Oooh! Evil SG1!
At least one of the multiples should have considered just swapping uniforms.
It comes to something when you can't even shoot yourself.
I think Alternate!Mitchell is underestimating the persuasiveness of a stern e-mail from Rodney McKay about the most efficient use of his time.
That is quite a brilliant plan.
I'm glad Cameron understands the beard rule.
Does anyone else really want to see the Atlantis episode where this SG1 try to take the ZPM? As if everyone on Atlantis wasn't confused enough already...
Not just crossover continuity between two shows, but crossover continuity between two shows and the multi-verse! Take that Smallville! I am in a state of canonical awe
There was absolutely no narrative reason to remove the Mitchells' trousers. Can we take some time to applaud that fact? Real Mitchell and alternate Mitchell are wearing the same pants!
I love that little shot of Walter and the Asgard. I think there's a kindred spirit there
The question is, when it does happen do you cut the green one, or was he just trying to mess with your mind?

Stronghold

Ooh. A political Jaffa episode. My favourite. Is the sarcasm in that remark tangible, or do you think it needs pointing out?
God, are the Jaffa still faffing about? I think maybe that should be the collective noun for a group of Jaffa: A faff of Jaffa.
She's called Kal El?
Yes, because democracy is never complicated.
I bet there's an informal ranking system, though. Oh, there's definitely a system
So they can treat him, but he can't find out how?
No! Don't have more debate! Blow something up instead!
Why do members of the military always dress so appallingly badly out of uniform? Is there some strange urge that you get when forced to wear a uniform that makes you automatically reach for the loudest shirt you can find on your days off?
Mitchell's friend's eyes are too close together.
I really hope that's what the pamphlet's called
I can't imagine Teal'c's often late to anything
Sam looks so surprised; "Personal time? We can take personal time?"
This is a really odd episode, or more properly two very normal episodes sewn together in a very odd way
One eye? Is depth perception an issue in a video game?
Whoo! Baal! Baal Baal! In a polo neck! I do like a Goa'uld in a nice frock coat and polo neck
"Maybe we did take it a little too far." Well, that's possibly the understatement of the century.
"I do not remember what I ate yesterday." You know, neither can I. That's quite disturbing
He's well informed. Mitchell's friend is far too clever to stay alive for very long.
Shouldn't she be discussing this with the patient?
I'd imagine the hospital would have vending machine insurance
They put an out of order sign on the vending machine!
I'm not sure using experimental brain technology on a guy with an aneurism is the best idea.
I know this is supposed to be an emotional scene, but those blinking lights look ridiculous.
Ben's fast forwarding to the sex
Did Cameron just get glowered at by a marine for being late?
"I also don't like people sleeping with my daughter"
Shouldn't SG-1 get helmets too?
Ah, so this will be where we get to see how Mitchell's rashness is an important trait.
I think he's faking it
I just had a power cut, and have no idea how this ends. However, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Mitchell saves Teal'c and Bra'tac just in time, and that his friend dies and we get an emotional scene at the end, possibly involving the locker room.
He shot the Baalclone!
Daniel took a tennis ball to the debate just in case it got boring!

Ethon

This episode gets a previously?
Of all the episodes I thought they might follow up, I wouldn't have picked that one at all
Cameron does a superb potted recap
I would imagine they've already built it
"Caledonia" sounds so much like it should be a made-up name
That's a fantastic chair! I imagine the chair loses much of its mystique when you've seen Jack sit in it.
It's up to SG-1 to make the decision about interfering in other world's wars?
You wouldn't think the Ori would be dumb enough to give a massively advanced weapon with no flaws to anyone else
They'll be detected by the targeting system? They should be more worried about that
I doubt it's much comfort at all.
"Wasn't exactly what I had in mind." Yet he seems so wonderfully resigned to it
He had to mention the torture...
They need to get Daniel one of those subcutaneous chip things you tag pets with in case they run away
I'd that suggest moving out of range be somewhere on that list
Was it really necessary to turn all the lights off?
You'd have thought Sam would have considered the possibility they might have updated the plans.
That Lieutenant is doing an awful lot of jobs when Lionel Pendergast is doing nothing at all.
*Never* use the lift in a fire!
Official Status: Not To Good. That's on step up from squirrely
Oh! This episode suddenly got exciting!
That's not lucky at all!
Prometheus go boom! Prometheus! They blew up the Prometheus!
I can't help but feel Daniel's unfailing belief in the power of rational discourse over faith is incredibly naïve. Especially since he's consistently proved wrong.
Sometimes death's not that much of a deterrent
Cameron has a little tantrum now he's not allowed to blow things up
Tech control guy dove out of the way very smartly
It's been a rougher day for Caledonia.

Off The Grid

Wow. I have to say undercover!SG-1 have my complete approval. In fact, the amount of leather they've managed to fit into this season as a whole is well worth congratulations
With all the skin and leather I'd have gone for intergalactic prostitutes not drug dealers.
Yep, that would be a problem alright
Raspberry ripple corn on the cob!
I like the idea of there being a heaven for sweetcorn. And other vegetables. Turnips should get a heaven too
What would Mitchell do if Daniel said he had tasted it?
I think we need to meet Grandma Mitchell
I have to say, if it is an Ori plan, it's a truly ingenious one. It's imaginative, you've got to give them that. How could you fail to admire any plan that revolves around space corn
They really are in Kansas! Well, technically they're in the special Smallville Six Square Feet Of Corn That We Have To Pretend Is A Field, but it's too good an opportunity to make a Kansas joke to pass up
Should Cameron have that in his mouth?
Sam is so utterly unimpressed with Mitchell. Sam must be slightly embarrassed by Cameron every single time they go off world
The argument about who makes the best fake drug dealer is comedy gold. And Sam would so win.
The Mary Poppins thing is going to grate.
I get the impression Mitchell only wanted to go on this mission to see if he could get someone to call him Shaft. Cameron only joined the *military* so he could get the opportunity to make people call him Shaft
That wasn't a very thorough search. I could have patted Cameron down much more thoroughly than that
Mitchell's never missed a check in? I find that hard to believe
Someone in the costume department has a serious collar fetish that I think has been woefully under explored until now
The Odyssey got finished quickly! It took them ages to complete the Daedalus.
What did I say last week? Microchips are the way to go. Ha! They micro-chipped them! Is there a number you have to ring if you find them sitting on your back doorstep asking for food?
I thought the Tok'ra weren't talking to us?
How humiliating would it be if, after nine years, SG-1 were neutralised by some amateur black marketers?
That's a turkey
Baal's collecting stargates!
"No need to go into the third and fourth courses..." But one of those courses might be dessert!
Shouldn't SG-1 be rematerialised sitting down?
Daniel must spent a woefully disproportionate amount of his life sitting around clutching ice-packs
Baal is building his own galaxy? Wow, that's a fantastically Baal-ish plan. "Well, if you won't worship me in this one, I'm taking all my toys over here and I'll play by myself."
I could probably be compelled to do quite a lot for an assortment of cheeses
Two suitcases full of cupcakes... That's my idea of essential luggage
They'd better track him quickly, or that transmitter is going to lead somewhere completely useless.
Baal should have a cupcake!
And he has a special man to carry his cupcakes! That's it, all I want out of life is to have two suitcases full of cupcakes and a special man to carry them for me
I do love Baal having to lift his skirt over the door.
Baal really is too cool.
Well, Teal'c appears to have a plan.
If the Lucian Alliance capture Baal he might be made to wear leather and look slightly grubby...
Could they possibly use one of the 53 available stargates to make their escape?
*Reminds self there are other Baals*
See? I'm so good at this
Colonel Emerson shouldn't feel too bad. Everyone misplaces SG-1 at least once in their career
Teal'c got to be funny! I do love Cameron. I'm starting to feel less and less regretful that he's not Jack every week

The Scourge

Daniel was so looking forward to those ruins; he hasn't seen really good ruins in quite a while.
I would've thought that involving SG-1 was a sure fire way to make it a complete disaster.
I want Cameron to read me a bedtime story
There's a man who's lost his innate sense of romance about space bugs. They sent them to a planet with space bugs? If you want to impress people it's probably wise to avoid the space bugs.
I'd want to poke the space bugs too.
That's what nocturnal is isn't it? Nocturnal animals don't just stop when the sun comes up
IOA? They're keeping the Olympic Committee informed?
But Daniel *does* want to argue about it.
I've never quite agreed with assigning foods to days of the week. I'm also slightly nervous of the words 'meat' and 'loaf' in such close proximity when applied to canteen food
Maybe they'd like some meatloaf
His "mealworm situation"? I feel almost ashamed that I've never been part of an emergency situation involving mealworms
Where were those bugs sucked to?
Now would be the time to panic.
Mitchell urgently emphasises the word 'carnivorous'.
It does seem a little unfair that the one guy they know is infected gets to go
Oh, great reaction from the highly trained military medical personnel!
"You promised me I'd be home in time for Smallville!"
I love Wolsey's quiet little background "damnit"
Space bugs took the gateroom!
Given their natural tendency to attract crises, I'm not sure I'd want to be escorted by SG-1
They eat uniforms too, and all his equipment. That means they truly are omnivorous
That looks suspiciously like the cave they sent John through in 'Epiphany'
How on earth is hiding in a cave with no escape route any safer?
"Until we run out of bullets..." Ah Daniel, ever the optimist
I was quite interested in what Dr Lee was going to say then.
Daniel is pretty blasé about being eaten alive by bugs. For Daniel that worry never entirely goes away
They could put the SGC and SG-1 on a timeshare system. One month China could have them, the next Belgium. They could have a league table to see who got SG-1 killed most often.
Daniel needs to stop picking holes in the plan
"We possess something far greater." Blind luck?
Well, because she's the one with the gun for starters.
Sam should get to be pissy with diplomats more often.
On the other hand, if they die horribly then they're not going to be able to write an unfavourable report
That *is* what friends are for. I do like new funny!Teal'c.
There's a part of Sam that really enjoys telling everyone they're doomed.
Leave him there. If he wants to be eaten, let him be eaten
Tree ferrets! Mitchell has a whole heap of scary stories about the tree ferrets he can use for times like this. He invented silent deadly flying tree ferrets!
Anyone who wears impractical shoes to another planet deserves to be eaten alive by space bugs.
One day SG-1 are going to improvise in a way that doesn't involve exploding something
We should get to see movie night.
Did Cameron just say "boyfriend"?

Arthur's Mantle

Sam's not doing any work, she's reading porn.
I'm quite surprised Sam slept
Sam doesn't want to let go of the shiny new thing. No! not other egg heads!
Oooh, I could go for some hash browns. I love hash browns
"What have we got to..." Oh, Cameron! Surely Mitchell knows about the not tempting fate rule?
Ooh! The device has a heads-up display! That's very cool
Wow! That's a lot of blue jello.
You get the feeling being completely ignored by Bill is quite a regular event
Mitchell kept up quite well with the dimension/reality explanation.
I hope they let him have some time travel
*Such* a nerd!
Daniel's only going to be able to see them if he was in the same alternate dimension as they were. Which is very unlikely, since his was the giant alien dimension.
Well, Sam did say there were eleven. The chances of them hitting the same one as Daniel are quite slim, even if you don't take into account that they're SG-1 and it was never going to be that easy
I always feel sorry for the people on scraping-the-back-of-the-iris duty. I know the remnants are microscopic, but mentally it can't be pleasant
Poor Sam, you can see she's been trying to teach Walter, but he just isn’t smart enough. "I said adaptive you fools! Adaptive!" Now there's a thickly disguised Due South joke nobody will ever get
Teal'c's breaking in a new team!
Why are the team wearing knee pads? Are they likely to be skateboarding any time soon?
Isn't it strange how it's always the guy they know who is still alive.
You can get hungry in a few hours! Especially when you've been cruelly deprived of your hash browns
So Dr Lee has found out no new information.
Minaturisation! Tiny SG-1! With their tiny legs that can only travel exactly calculated tiny distances! That's just fantastic! Tiny SG-1 is the funniest thing I have thought about in a long while. And I really have spent an inordinate amount of time thinking about it. In fact, so much time has been devoted to it (Tiny Major Davis eating tiny blue jello!) that it was quite a disappointment when Tiny!Atlantis wasn't very funny at all. How can Tiny!Rodney not be funny? However, it turns out Giant!Atlantis is hilarious, so all is not lost. Particularly not when Tiny!SG1 end up in Giant!Atlantis and Giant!Rodney traps them in a maze and makes them do tricks for food. His evil plan is thwarted by Giant!Sheppard helping Tiny!SG-1 escape and keeping them in his vest pocket.
Annwn... I'm just going to say 'ouch' on behalf of the Welsh (since the actual Welsh aren't here right now) and leave it at that
You know there's some poor grip hiding under the desk manipulating those keys with bits of string
"Keep me posted." That's the cool part of being a General; you don’t have to stick around for the boring parts.
Shouldn't Sam be concentrating on the translation?
What exactly does Mitchell think he's going to be able to accomplish. Obviously he is going to accomplish something, but he doesn't know that.
Wasn't his only brother killed by SG-12 when we first met these Jaffa?
I wonder what those two soldiers are talking about.
Won't that blow the crystal to smithereens too?
Was that the same uh-oh, or was Bill thinking of a different uh-oh?
Oh, wonderful, unflappable Teal'c...
That was a pretty good shot
I do love their cunning moss camouflage.
They have to press Ctrl Alt Delete!
It's raining bits of evil Jaffa!
Someone's going to have to search through all those jaffa-bits to find that crystal. That's far worse than having to rinse down the back of the iris
There might even be beef left!

Crusade

Oh God, she's back. I really need to get over my Vala hatred, seeing as she's here to stay.
Y'know, there are some days I really wish I hadn't lost my ability to slash Stargate...
Sam very nearly said something about Daniel's sexuality there.
It's a kawoosh!
It was funny. Sorry
Well, get on and tell them then! *Makes hurrying motions at the TV*
In fact, it's exactly the same village.
We should have seen Daniel with chocolate sauce on his nose
Are limps really that unattractive? I can think things more unattractive, like reading The Daily Telegraph. You see how I'm maturely not rising to that remark? And also resolving never to sneak you copies of its sports section ever again
Cameron has very hairy forearms
That seems quite a nice combination to me.
There's always a bit of leeway for sin if you look hard enough
We need to meet Mitchell's Grandmother soon. I swear, next season we need to have an episode about Granny Mitchell
For a moment I thought she was going to get through the first half of the show without referencing sex.
Cameron's "this time" is a nice touch
Darth Vader! I think I might be in love with funny!Teal'c.
There was definitely sex involved with Arthur. Deeply misleading sex with a man apparently in full armour, but sex nonetheless
Where *is* Daniel anyway? Is he stuck in Vala? I can't remember what a happened to the people Vala and Daniel took over in 'Origin'
I'm surprised the Russians haven't done this before now.
Now might be a really good time to let the Russians have the 'gate.
It gave him a slight limp and also made him infertile? Wow. That must have been some injury
She could get rid of the child by getting herself blown up. Also, it would cheer me up immensely.
Supergate! There's another Supergate! Just the word Supergate gives me a little thrill
That was a quality death from the bargirl extra
I do wish the Sky One announcers would stop mispronouncing McKay's name in the Atlantis previews.

Camelot

I haven't got pudding and I can't find my fluffy cow pen! I'm not prepared for this at all!
And by 'promising' Sam means no use whatsoever. If I was looking for a giant space-time transcending weapon, that wouldn't be the first place I'd head for
I wonder what gave them away?
I'd like to be a village historian
"Did we offend him?" I think you did a little
He can't have been all that bad if he had a library.
"Can we open it? Please?"
There are much worse scenarios than that
It was largely down to the broomstick though
Is Daniel thinning on top just a little?
Ooh, Daniel shamelessly appeals to historian-lust: "Don't you want to know?"
I get the feeling he's been "reviewing council minutes with Brother Abelard" rather a lot
Given that the Ancients were an advanced race you'd think they'd have invented the card index.
Sam's going to have to have a word about the Easter Bunny. Teal'c's wonderfully invested in the Easter Bunny. I'm betting it's because of the ears
This is a very common design of Ancient control panels, so why haven't we ever seen any on Atlantis?
Being the only ones foolish enough to try these things is rather what SG-1 are for
I'd have snuck out at night and had a surreptitious try
Supergate! After much consideration, I think the Supergate may almost be as exciting as rail guns
Why do they need SG-1 for that?
I want to see Cameron and Daniel sharing quality time
"Some much needed allies." Baal! Teal'c's going to find Baal!
Have they tried his birthday? His dog's name?
He was in a state of quiet alertness
The knight is probably murdering the entire village as we speak.
They keep doing that annoying slow shutter speed thing on the fight scenes.
Ooh! Shiny things!
Daniel should probably be listening to that message
Does Daniel think these interruptions are useful?
That's such a Jack solution: simple yet effective
Mitchell's not a natural accessoriser
Shouldn't Teal'c have to tell people where he's going?
Oh, that was disappointing. Joining up with the Alliance is nowhere near as cool as joining up with Baal
Sam's not enjoying being on the receiving end of the simple analogy. She should know not to play smartarse with the Asgard
They get to dial the Supergate! They'll need a huge DHD!
That magic joke's never going to get old
That Asgard deliberately didn’t bring his own spacesuit.
"I'm letting the panel drift into space..."
Sam got to witness the superkawoosh! She may have died, but at least it was witnessed by someone who'd appreciate it.
*stares in awe at Ori ships*
Yeah, quoting the bible back always works.
I do like the panicking Russians.
I never thought I'd be pleased to see Vala.

Stargate Index
