| just watched on squinty vision
things i liked about this ep-
- they've gone through 9 people in 3 months trying to replace daniel. loved jack's comment "next!" as he limped down the ramp in the opening sequence.
- i thought the intro of jonas was handled quite realistically. when he asks sam why he can't get a try out with sg1 sam says "i understand that you want to join sg1 but i just don't see it happening." then in the boxing scene jonas says "colonel o'neill won't even talk to me - he blames me for what happened to dr. jackson". the photographic memory thing didn't really bother me - it's a conveniant way to bring a new cast member up to speed in just a few eps. all in all i liked him much better than i did in meridian.
-LOTS of teal'c -woohoo! CJ did a great job in the scenes with ryac and bratac. he also had a nice scene with jack. loved the "he's an alien" line.
- i thought the script did a good job of using dialogue to bring new viewers up to speed with past events.
- graham simmons is back and looking all grown up now (not such a babyface anymore)
- we got a brief glimpse of sparky (sgt. siler)
- the scene with the russian colonel was quite amusing but i especially liked that they at least gave a nod to military decorum. after chekov leaves jack says "i meant no disrespect to you sir" and hammond replies "i should have reprimanded you in front of the colonel...".
- mckay from 48 hours was back. he was annoying as usual but i liked that they actually let him be right and sam be wrong about the X-303. liked his line "so i guess i'll just go grab a coffee and a donut and wait for the big bang"
-hammy was front and center and in fine form the entire ep. i LOVE him!
-
things i didn't like about this ep -
-the flight suits - who designed those?
- no dr.frasier (maybe next week?)
that's about all i can think of at the moment. i'm looking forward to part 2.
