I MUST rewatch this ep. Now that I own season 2.

Oh shush, Daniel's gonna come out and it's like the best warm fuzzies moment in the history of life.

The absolute, unvarnished truth.

Hee! He has his priorities straight, too. ::nods approvingly:: Daniel and Bra'tac for teh win!

(and I LOVE that crackvid. Love it to pieces. I wish Brihana would get off the Vala kick and go back to classic SG-1, but she's one of the best vidders out there, no question.)

I was kinda baffled by how strongly he felt about Daniel getting shot and the ship blowing up and stuff. He's watching the series from beginning to end for the first time, but he's seen so many randoms eps from all ten seasons that I thought any potential jeopardy would be lost on him. Apparently not.

That crackvid is pure gold. Mr. Bill and I both have it stuck indelibly in our brains and we take just about any opportunity to sing it at each other or (more recently) at our new baby nephew.

I'd seen some later stuff, too, but this two-parter just killed me. I swear I did have moments where I thought they were all doomed. Interesting that Mr. Bill had a similar reaction--I just figured I'm too good at suspending my disbelief. :-D

I think maybe I'm just immune to this kind of thing, or something, because I never really got that wound up in the suspense of a particular ep. Well, that's not true, exactly, but I was never really worried anybody was going to die and stay dead. When people did die and stay dead, I was always vaguely surprised (as with Jacob) unless I already knew it was coming (as with Frasier).

Not that this stops me from shouting helpful advice at the team all the time. Heh.

Yeah, we like to talk. Good thing we have them all on DVD and can just rewind if we talk over the dialog. Not that all dialog is really worth rewinding for. Last night, Bill made me rewind so he could see the scene with Klorel and Apophis talking and when we got to the end of it, I was all "See? Nothing important. Just Apophis being bad-guy-ish. Blah blah blah Dark Side, blah blah blah complete."

Me: Yeah, I...never really figured out how exactly the shuttle was supposed to help, but whatever.

"So let me get this straight," Jack groused, "We beam ourselves up, blow two Gould ships to kingdom come, steal two of their fighters, and we're supposed to sit here for three and a half DAYS until they can bungee cord us into their cargo bay and re-enter the atmosphere?!"

Teal'c raised an eyebrow. "They have given sufficent explanation that they cannot safely transport us into their vessel, O'Neill."

"So how are we supposed to survive in this thing for that long?"

"If you are referring to consumables, the Death Glider is equipped to sustain Jaffa warriors on journeys of many days."

"Hm. At least they gave us a computer to play on. Wait...what do we do for...bathroom facilities?"

"As I stated, the Glider is designed for Jaffa, who have certain physical control."

"...you're kidding, right?

Teal'c?"

A very slight Jaffa grin.

I *love* sibling rivalry. Just adore it.

If you like the song in and of itself, it's from the "Veggie Tales", which I learned from my goddaughter's brother, is a bunch of bible stories/children tales done by...vegetables. They got me to watch one about the battle of Jericho, and I swear the writers are influenced by Monty Python because one of the characters sounded just like the French Kniggets. They lobbed ice cream scoops and other candies down on the poor vegetable Israelites. It was surprisingly cracky good.

Oh, and I have a fic rec for you about the Space Shuttle called "Desperate Endeavors". She actually wrote a small series about the shuttle astronauts, but the first story is a missing scene FROM Serpent's Lair. Here's the link to Season Two fics:

And I want to come watch Stargate with you and Mr. Bill too! Hee hee. I just loved this commentary.
Bill: But...but...hey, Bra'tac!

Veggie Tales is, indeed, made of cracky goodness. I used to hate the show because I babysat a kid who watched the same one on video over and over, but after a a few years, I consented to watch one of Mr. Bill's (yes, he owned them on video). I think he showed me that same one about the Battle of Jericho. Definitely some Monty Python in play, there.

And thanks for the fic rec! Red Byrd is so amazing at fanwanking explanations for silly flaws in the show.

The Veggie Tales Christmas Special CD is what I decorate the tree to every year. There are some great renditions of traditional faves on there.

And I do so love silly Songs With Larry.

*Everybody has a water buffalo,
Yours is fast but mine is slow
Oh, where they come from, I don't know
But everybody has a water buffalo-oooooo!*

And the song of the cebu is just hi-larious.
