| Wow, there is a distict lack of positivity in this room. Jack would be very disappointed.
But seriouly, you guys have some really great points. Particularly about SG-1 trapesing through the galaxy making a mess. I too would have liked to see them not win this one. And I'm getting a little tired of the way Jack always depends so much on Sam, it makes her feel really bad if she can't work it out and please him. You're all talking about Daniel not getting any lines, WHAT ABOUT TEAL'C. I think the poor guy got maybe 2, and he wasn't even in the shot half the time.
But I did honestly really enjoy this episode (and no, Anni, it's not just because SG-1 were in it and because they are much loved characters). It was entertaining, and I'm not going to sit here and analyse EVERY little thing that bothered me about it. I liked the interaction between Jack and the Asgard, and also Jack's outburst (which was well deserved I think, I was only disappointed that he didn't hit the guy a few more times - oh, btw, anyone wonder what happened to that guy, he sort of just dissappeared). I also loved it when Sam told Jack he was right about the wormhole thing. His reaction was adorable.
Also, if you think that Jack was interfering in thier belief system etc. and that he shouldn't have been trying to convince them to let the SGC help, just remember that he only had their best interest at heart and that he was genuine about it. He just wanted to fix what had happened. I also liked the way they made us view the Asgard, and how they really are no better then the goa'uld.
BTW: Sky, "McClarium'" is the heavy element A22 they used in the sun. Sam coined the phase when the scientist who made it (Dr. McClare? something like that), gave them the element. She named it after him. It eased the pain for him, becuase he had to give up the element that had taken him 5 years to make. |
