[QUOTE]Originally posted by Cartman: [QB] [QUOTE]The Light - Daniel is suicidal because he's addicted to and alien screen-saver. Double Jeopardy - erm, robot doubles? Cool! Exodus - Get the Tok'ra out of Dodge. Enemies - Intergalactic muss wif Apophis, (replicators!)[/QUOTE]Hmm, well, [i]The Light[/i] was indeed pretty dim (HAHAHAHA...), [i]Double Jeopardy[/i] niftily tied up a loose end from season one, and [i]Exodus[/i] and [i]Enemies[/i] composed a decent chunk of SG-1's main storyline. You could have been dealt a worse hand there, all in all. [QUOTE]I also remember one where they are trying to huck a gate into a black hole or something. Maybe that's double jeopardy. Anyway I've probably seen a couple others. I just feel like I'm spoiling by reading the synopses. It's not a bad show, it's certainly better than a lot of others on right now that start with the letters "E-N-T". But even with the epic, sprawling stories, it hasn't captured me yet. Also I loathe scientifically explaining away gods an religions in general, but by having those gods be human hosts for little worms in their bellies is just silly.[/QUOTE]The black hole episode was [i]A Matter of Time[/i], which is, in essence, SG-1's [i]Threshold[/i] without the reptilian drivel. At least the technobabble wasn't too pronounced, or something. As for the religion thing, the idea is that the little worms (The dudes who haul them around in their bellies, the Jaffa, are their incubators BTW. The adult worms like to wrap themselves around a person's upper spinal cord which is how they actually possess the poor devil.) took us as hosts because their species was dying out and then posed as gods from our own mythology so science doesn't enter into it as such but you probably already know this anyway so I'll just say that you seem to have given SG-1 an honest if somewhat disjointed shot which is good and laudable and I guess that much of your enjoyment of it does hinge on wether you can suspend disbelief and accept eccentrically dressed humans with glowy eyes and computerized voices as credible villains which I readily concede can be a big stumbling block at first. [QUOTE]Hey, they showed this episode tonight on Sci-Fi Channel. I watched it. Aaaaaaand again I didn't love it.[/QUOTE][i]Secrets[/i] (that was the ep, right?) is part of a much larger arc that spans all the way to season 5 (and some of six, I think). As a stand-alone it's not too shattering, but then most of SG-1's plots are woven through multiple seasons so watching the show out of order is kind of a detriment to enjoying it fully. [QUOTE]I do love that Teal'C (or whatever) constantly calls ensign twerpypants "Daniel Jackson". That's kind of funny. To me. "[b]RICHARD DEAN ANDERSON[/b]"'s plausible denial was a high point, as was the "I just want to get one thing straight" line.[/QUOTE]Well, humor is one of SG-1's many charms, as are the bountiful sci-fi and pop-culture references, so if you dig those sort of things, this is your show.
