Ghost In the Machine
With all the Michael Phelps 24-7, I forgot they even did track at the Olympics. I'm not kidding.
Now, 5.5 Ghost in the Machine--
1. I am deeply disappointed we didn't get Evil!Elizabeth. Morally dubious!Elizabeth doesn't cut it. I mean come on, last we saw her she was clearly wearing the black leather of evil. My guess is that it was meant to be a bigger arc, but once they found out Torri wouldn't come back they scrambled to find a way to end her story quickly and this is what they came up with. Nothing will convince me that the original idea wasn't evil RepliWeir. I weep for the possibilities.
2. That said, I think that Michelle Morgan did a great job as Elizabeth. She even looked like her to me, which I didn't think at all the last time we saw her. (Actually I thought she looked like Katie Holmes. I almost wrote Jealous!John fic to that effect.)
Mini-observation: I kinda think the replicators need to think through their plans a little more clearly. They seem to have a hard time seeing the big picture, what with the "Lets all disintegrate ourselves" plan.
Question: When the evil guy replicator and the Elizabeth replicator started running amok, why didn't they use Anti-Replicator Guns? They had them as of Doppleganger. Instead John told the marines to keep shooting them (with traditional weapons) if they moved and eventually they'd go down. Did I miss something?
And one more observation: That was a mean thing to do to the poor replicators. They just wanted to be real boys (and girls).
I want some Fran fic now.
Oh, and British friends who have seen the Sanctuary promos they keep showing on SGA-- Does Amanda Tapping's English accent sound as ridiculous to you as it does to me?
