SG-1: s01-04: Emancipation
Ok, now I remember more of my issues with "Emancipation." One of the things is the cliche-ness of the story, which I guess shouldn't bother me since I write in cliches too. Another thing is that when the kid who kidnapped Sam stops to rest and let her eat, she should've taken the chance to get away. She's a captain in the Air Force, why can't she overpower this 18 year-old kid? Especially since she's skilled enough to win the fight with the enemy chieftain at the end of the episode. But that's about it, everything else was pretty much fine. Just another major story thread started here. SG-1 is going to be meddling without a lot of cultures and getting them to rethink their old ways and laws.
I suppose Daniel also irked me in the beginning. When they realize that Sam's being a woman is going to offend these people, she says they should probably just go home, but Daniel says this is an extraordinary opportunty to study an ancient civilization. C'mon, Daniel, Sam's life could be in danger if you all step outta line accidentally. What's more important--Sam, or your insatiable need for knowledge? Silly man.
That's about it for this one. I might try to watch "The Broca Divide" tonight too.
