"Solitudes" is a hard episode to fix, Bechdel Test-wise, because Sam is the only female character who speaks. So I had to get a little creative with this one, but I think it worked anyway.

Ummmm, I totally did not forget for a while I had written this, what, no.

This is a fixit of a fixit, or in other words a sequel to Common Language, a Bechdel Test fixit story I wrote about the kidnapped Air Force sergeant from "Children of the Gods." This will not make a whole lot of sense if you haven't read that ( Read more... )

This is technically not a fixit, because "Cold Lazarus" actually does (however briefly) pass the Bechdel Test. But this popped into my head when I was thinking about the episode, and I figured nobody would mind an extra drabble-and-a-half of women talking to each other.

Continuing the counting project (follow that link for explanation and methodology), my chart for The Demographics of Stargate SG-1, Season Two is up at the Characters Count wiki. (Semi-relatedly, there is also a chart up for Merlin! such_heights even tracked deaths, which totally defeated me for SG-1.)

Weirdly, "The Broca Divide" was the first SG-1 episode to pass the Bechdel test, which is good, because then I don't have to think about it anymore.

And the next episode, "The First Commandment," turns around and fails in epic fashion: only one woman speaks in the entire episode. Which is not to say she's the only woman appearing in the episode, ( Read more... )

...Which brings us to "Emancipation," an episode which had no right to fail the Bechdel Test and failed anyway--Sam and Nya do speak to each other repeatedly, but only about Nya's father and the boy Nya wants to marry. (And there are several other levels and layers of fail here where gender and race intersect and then my head explodes, so--moving ( Read more... )

"Children of the Gods," for all its faults, was not actually too hard to write Bechdel test fixits for--there are multiple female characters who are reasonably memorable (by description, at least, even if they don't have names) and they are shown to meet or at least be in the same place at the same time ( Read more... )

Another Bechdel fixit story! Again with thanks to iuliamentis and splash_the_cat.

Because, dammit, that kidnapped and murdered Air Force sergeant deserved a name.

Also, once I put it up, this will be the 200th story on my website. \o/ (Suddenly I feel like it ought to have included Furlings.)

Gen. Missing scene from "Children of the Gods."
1,265 words. PG-13.
