drumroll please... sgwun for the very. first time.
THREADS!
Okay, so sitting down to watch "Threads" -- and I probably won't finish it all in one sitting since going to dinner in a bit with cheese_munkey.
Watching this one on Real Player since the source for illegal downloads went kablooey, much like fandom reportedly did after this episode aired.
If you'll recall, previously on Stargate.... "Divide and Conquer"! And Pete! And "Meridian" Not that they're trying to, you know, deal with any important arcs. Mmmm, yummy, yummy, yummy arcs. I'm going to make a resolution. I will not get upset at the Jack/Sam. I will pretend that I am a Jack/Sam shipper for the course of the ep. And a Jack/Pete shipper.
And, as always, a Baal/Anubis shipper. You know? Anubis has a truly boring plan. Destroy every living thing in the galaxy. That? Is a really stupid plan. And boring. I mean, if he planned to make sgwun fandom explode by manipulating controversial 'ships, then that would be a grand plan.
Carrie Johnson. CIA. Is Jack seeing her?
Okay, wow. Jack's love for Daniel? Is truly snarky, snarky, snarky. OMG. "I'm not having a memorial service for someone who is not dead. YOU HEAR THAT? I'm not buying it." wibble.
Hee. Daniel waltzing. That would be amusing.
Okaaay, now that is weird. Daniel? Why are you in a diner? And did that sign say "seat yourself" or "Eat yourself"?
And mmm, Daniel's legs are hot. And Oma is a waitress. Bizarre, is all I can say.
Wouldn't the highest honor any Jaffa could receive be getting to be host to a Goa'uld? And yay, now Teal'c/Ishta is incest! Since they're bloodkin to all Jaffa... well, it follows! A shofer OMG! They are Jewish!
"Then I shall be proud for you -- and of you." Awwww! Bra'tac/Teal'c? O. T. P.
Next act: Pete! He looks a bit like McKay. Bizarre.
And Pete meets Jacob, and they all come over all awkward. And has Sam told him about Jolinar? Guess not, huh?
*gasp* Oma! Being truthful! And clear! Horror.
"My grandfather brought my here after my parents' funeral. I had waffles." OMG! Backstory to cuddle and cherish and call my own! Such a terribly bizarre episode.
I love the way for once Bra'tac is the optimistic one and Teal'c is... sad. Yes, Bra'tac, darling, uniting the Jaffa. Is always. Hard. Every time you free the Jaffa, this happens. *sighs* Ooh, and Teal'c is given his decision. So tragically interesting. *gasps at the interestingness of it all*
*snerk* Selmak really liked Pete? *spit take*
Errr, Jack in bed. *drool* Guh! Lack of shirt. Lack of pants! Lack of Daniel in bed with him! *cries* So he is sleeping with the CIA h0. This is slightly odd. Shoots all the OTPs right in the ass.
Oma won't help Daniel ascend a third time. Well, yeah. For obvious. And Daniel is in really, really tight pants. I mean, yum. Man, Daniel is on crack. As is this entire diner-verse. *plots to write dinerverse fic*
Yep, that's Sam, always failing to blow anything up when she could study it.
Free Jaffa Nation. It's not a metaphor!
OMG did the Black Widow Curse just claim Pete? No, apparently not. Just Pete continuing to be a stalker. Okay, wow, tensions? Are high. I don't know what they need, but a good apocalypse always helps matters.
Yay, fanon is my friend. So it was Oma who descended Daniel, and evidentially it was his choice, (although not the naked part hee! Yay fanservice!) And his memory wasn't totally erased. Obviously. "Orpheus."
Oma walks the line. We've always known this. Daniel needs to put his prior human existence into the proper context. Huh. Bizarre.
Okay, this relationship is totally on the rocks, for real. Obviously. Of course, happy relationships are never. "For a human." "Well, generally speaking, that's my type." *grin*
This? Is a very strange episode. Just sayin'.
Okay, let's pause on the real estate sign for a moment and ponder the mythology. Life evolved in the Milky Way. Then a plague wiped it out. Some Ancients figured out how to ascend and didn't die. Instead, they built a device that sparked life into existence. There was a second evolution. Humans evolved to be almost genetically identical to the Goa'uld Ancients. Whatthefuck?
Sometimes it's easier just to be a 'shipper.
Pete bought them a house OMG? The house Sam always wanted. Man, Pete is... a bit stalkerish. Okay, okay, so fandom obviously knew this. Still, I think the way they're playing this ep, it's intentionally trying to sour one on the Sam/Pete ship.
The Daniel arc is causing me intense doses of "ehhh?" Any way they figure out to get out of this dilemma is going to feel forced, I kinda think. That's the problem with setting up insoluble dilemmas.
I'm taking a mid-episode break, incidentally, since I was summoned to dinner, so here we are, trying to figure out what the fuck is up with Daniel, Sam, and naturally Teal'c.
Is Sam going to break up with Pete? Because she's got that "I've got something to tell you" look on her face. Only, no, she's breaking up with Jack. I mean, uh, yeah. *breathes deeply* OMG. This is it. Only, of course, it's the random bimbo introduced solely in this episode. Grr omg. But yeah. Sam said "ya think?" Eep. This isn't awkward, no, not at all.
OMG no not Jacob! NOOOOO! And okay, are we supposed to be going with the Jack/Sam interpretation that Sam has feelings for Jack but not vice versa.
Selmak is dying! For eesh! *weeps* And also Jacob with him omg no no no no. No, no, no, no no. He hung on for seven whole seasons!
Oma helped Anubis ascend. Interesting? Vaguely interesting. Oma/Anubis strange true pairing. And yet she still helps people like Daniel. But why would she help a Goa'uld? Still very confused, you know. And also confused by Jacob dying and me not getting spoiled for that. He's dead of flabatnum that makes no sense!
the frell? "Don't let rules get in the way." ??? Since when is Jacob the advocate of screw the regs?
Hahahahahahahha. Oh, the breakup between Carrie and Jack? Perfect. "we're good together."
"yes. We are. but."
"But, you have issues." OMG understatement! And yeah, one big one.
"Is the Air Force the only thing keeping the two of you apart?" An excellent question. And yeah, we've been saying it for years. Why doesn't Jack just frelling retire? An excellent question. Although he might not want to retire ...
*gulp* Bra'tac is once again threatening immanent death. Somehow, I wonder if this might not be the one last time. I am... I feel like sobbing. Bra'tac! Jacob!
Oh, how I adore Daniel. I mean, this is what I love about Daniel. The fact that he'll stand up and say it and it doesn't bother him. Gah. And I love Oma, too. And lots of things are making more sense, I suspect.
So, basically, the whole galaxy is going to go boom?
Four years ago Jacob was supposed to die? 8-2=4? Man, sgwun invented fuzzy math.
Ohh, snugggggglieness. *devotes all energy in the galaxy to shipping them and manages to be happy*
Ohhhh, that always... it was sweet for goodness' sake. *sigh* But that's the thing. They can't be everyday and they can't be anything but (ohh, yay, sooper sekrit incest OMG noooooo! No dying! *sniff*)
And Jack contemplates that which needs to be contemplated, and mourns Jacob, and wonders about Daniel, and is in love with---
Eeesh! "Dannyboy!" If I didn't already abhor the man, I would hate him now. OH. Hee. Yay. He's 'Nubis. I actually must confess myself entirely taken aback. I'm not good at predicting things.
Okay, let's consider this Pete thing. He exists for an obvious reason, and now that he has fulfilled that purpose, and now what the fuck, Daniel, you aren't too -- is Oma going to sacrifice herself too? Are we going to have all their recurring characters die? Bizarre. Sexy. Daniel? Self-destruct? Eh? What the frell? No more self destruct, because Anubis is busy elsewhere.
Ya think?
I do.
Heeeee OT3. So much OT3! Snerrrrrk! Nakedness! AMUSING! OMG! Hee! *gigggggles*And Jack and Daniel refuse to look at each other. Bizarre.
And Sam and Jack go fishing. Hehehehehehehehehehehe. They couldn't have done it any other way, could they? With Daniel and Teal'c, they go fishing, and that makes it even better, because they all four lived happily ever after.
Gotta love ambiguous endings.
