Ok hormones are up the loop. Brain's playing tricks on me and I've got this strange craving for Dr Oeker frozen pizza (one of which just-so-happens to be in the oven right now. *g*).
Strange discussions at 2am. Have decided my mother's more mental than I am. We were discussing the potential of combining SG-1 and The Fast Show. And I'm now cursed with this mental image of a little grey asgard with a woolly hat and yellow puffer jacket jumping up n' down on a hill yelling 'in't the yellow ones BRILLLLLLLLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNTTTTTTTTTT!'
And if that's not enough there's the vision of a whopping huge Jaffa wearing a pinny, icing a cake whilst saying 'then I entered a deep state of kel'no'reem, rose from the dead and saved the team and the known universe...which was nice.'
Sokar in DYK, removing his cowl, leaning forward in his throne, looking Apophis dead in the eye and saying: 'Hmmmm... Nice. Groovy.'
Truth be told, even just a hint of Fast Show can improve the WORST SG-1 episodes. Take this for example - Summit. The Goa'uld system lords gather for their little meeting and Osiris arrives, unfortunately she can't get more than two words out before she starts coughing her guts up. Yu offers to help and excuse the poor system lord in distress but the only word he can formulate is a Tourettes-style response of 'ARSE!' in a thick west country accent.
Enemies - picture Apophis standing on the bridge of Cronus' ship, he speaks... 'it were goin' t'be a lovely day. Were goin' t' wipe out the bloodeh Tok'ra, then overrrun t'rest o' system lords wi' me fleet an' p'raps 'ave a pie n' light ale fer me supper. Now I'm 'eadin' towards a planet, wi' me ship burnin' up in't atmosphere, wi' these bloodeh replicators crawin' all over me...*sighs* Aww BUGGER!'
Imagine how much better Last Stand's Tok'ra tunnels scenes would've been if there'd been a family with luggage running across the screen.
Sam's tendency these days for gross insubordination easily forgivable if she closed each insult with 'no offense!' in a squeaky pitched south african accent.
Maybourne popping up every other episode - wearing a bad donkey jacket - tapping his nose and saying 'you ain't seen me - royt!'
*pauses*
We are very strange in this family. *nibbles pizza*
