Stargate SG-1 S8, eps 1-3
8.1: New Order
+Ah, so this is brunette Weir. I think I like, but this is actually rather jarring.
+Teal’c, what is that on your head? *Withdraws to the happy place to avoid thinking about it*
+I love how Weir is all “Oh, that time you saved an entire alien race from another? Which one…oh yeah, I heard about that time.”
+Alpha female standoffs are vastly superior to alpha male ones.
+Aww, Daniel is being left behind. *pets*
+Have I mentioned before that everyone in SG1 looks really, really good while in all black? I’m sure I have, but it bears repetition.
+Carter and Teal’c suck at small talk.
+THOR!!! THORTHORTHORTHORTHOR!!!
+Aww, Teal’c, did you just imitate O’Neill in the “Carter speaks an alien language unknown to man” department?
+I love that Weir is basically “Ok, yes, one of your own is trying to wipe you all out. Wait…where’s the part where I’m not happy about this?” She’s doing quite well for being so new at this.
+Bah, replicators. At least they come with Carter and Teal’c getting some gun action in.
+Replicator boy they abandoned. Uhm…uh…crap.
+Weir just bluffed the Gia’uld system lords. She wins at life.
+Thor, do not be telling Teal’c that Carter is dead. Such statements are always received very, very badly.
8.2: New Order(part 2)
+Uhm, wow. I’m not sure even Hammond is brazen even to announce that four system lords are now his prisoners with a Goa’uld fleet coming to attack Earth.
+There are no words for how much I love Thor’s ability to counteract every objection or condition ever with one finger.
+WTF dream/alternate reality? Uhm…hi fake!Pete.
+O’Neill was remarkably well behaved when in charge of an alien ship. Of course, Babysitter Thor still had to tell him to behave.
+Yes Sam, do not be falling for replicator boy’s tricks. And, uhm, now that he is announcing he loves you, flee.
+Teal’c, do not sigh and roll your eyes when your commanding officer asks you what on Earth you have on your head. Answer the question.
+I love that Teal’c just grabs the nearest gun when told the replicator might wake up.
+O’Neill loves his new toy. And now that they’ve given the Asgard race a way to save itself, they’re off to get their Carter back from creepy replicator boy.
+O’Neill in charge? I guess this means no more Hammond at all. And of course the first thing he’s going to do is promote Carter. What else would it be?
+And we end with replicator boy creating his own Carter. Uhm, yeah…
8.3: Lockdown
+O’Neill fails massively at diplomacy.
+Oh, is it Daniel’s turn to be possessed by…any random alien?
+Seeing the infirmary just depresses me now.
+Everyone is always so calm about alien possession these days.
+No, O’Neill, you can’t weasel out of admitting that’s you’re the one who shot Daniel. At least this time, the “I had to do it” defense is true.
+So, why did the Russian colonel want Anubis to repossess him? Did he want the power and/or a chance to live, or did he just figure it was better if Anubis was in him, since he was about to die and figured it would kill Anubis, too? *chooses to believe it was a last attempt at heroism*
