Mrs. McRanty Pants
Two very enjoyable episodes (for cliffhangers). Everyone was on their game, great fun all around. Not really in a mood to point out all my favorite bits, just know that I loved it on many levels. (though I will say that Daniel jumping quickly to comply when Adria threatened Sam....see? Sam's obviously pregnant and he's all super protective. *snerk*)
One thing I do have to say, though, which I can't believe I am actually going to admit to....but... I really wish RDA would stop coming back for appearances. There, I said it. Now, to be clear: I love Jack O'Neill to an embarrassing degree. He has always been my favorite character. But if RDA is going to insist on coming back for brief little appearances and not actually act like Jack O'Neill...well then, I am going to continue to get pissy about it. I don't care if he is pale and fleshy and gaining weight...I care that he is slightly zombie-esque. Sure Jack has always had a sort of dense, silly quality to him, but it was always balanced out by that hard edge that is Jack O'Neill, that slightly scary, dark, I can kick your ass without giving it any thought aspect. Where is the biting wit? The calculating mind? The bone melting ability to topple his enemy with a mere flash of eye sex? The battle-hardened suspicion?
Seriously, is someone sneaking Jack O'Neill meds on the side to turn him into a bobbling, soft, General type? Or is his job literally sucking the life out of him? It's time to circle the wagons people and rescue Jack O'Neill from a fate worse than Baal's torture chamber. Forget the Ori, SG-1, save Jack O'Neill. And yes, this probably means I will have to write an Atlantis fic from Jack's perspective to make myself feel better.
Phew...rant is now off my chest. I don't necessarily feel any better (why do I feel like a traitor or something?!), but at least I've said it.
I'm going to go watch some classic Jack eps now.
