SG-A was much stronger than SG1 this week. SG-1 had those bug things, which were pretty lame. The dignitaries were just pompous asses.
I liked Robert Picardo this time though. His character wan't a useless ass this time.
And the talk at the end was lolworthy. Starship Troopers.
The Oddyssy is simply doing what the Prommie was doing. Seems kinda reset-buttonish.
SG-A was good. The Genii are my favourite villians from that show. Plots within plots, I didn't know how that was going to end at all.
RIP Colm Meaney's dude. I'll miss him.

SG-1
I was watching it with the gals, and we spent the entire time making jokes about The Mummy and the ripped-off scarab beetles.
How the frell did those bugs fill the entire tank when they were given just that one tiny piece of meatloaf? There wasn't that much mass in the meatloaf. If the Priors can create little bugs that can teleport in mass, why would the bugs wait until they had a protein snack to do it? At least the bugs got gassed.
Teal'c...Old School...I can't see it.
I'm still mad that they blew a golden opportunity for a lot of plot difficulties when they blew up Prometheus just to get their shiny new ship. Such a waste.
SG-A
There were four double-crosses in there, unless I'm missing something. I didn't see the last real one coming. I thought they'd have the bearded guy (whose name I forget) decide to let them go to rescue his sister (you know, the old 'shoot the guards and help them escape' deal), but instead, it was his plan all along to stage a coup. Saving his sister meant that the Atlanteans just wouldn't die as originally planned.
Bloodless coup, all incinerations.
"Come to rescue us, sir?"
"Well, up until a few seconds ago, I thought you were dead, but now that I see you talking and breathing, I'm working on something."
"Thank you sir. Let me know if there's any way we can help."

I'm still trying to figure out what the 'That's Lieutenant Colonel Errand Boy' line comes from... :?

That bearded guy called Shep "Major" and said that he wanted to talk to Weir and not her errand boy. So he replied, "That's Lieutenant Colonel Errand Boy."Elheru Aran wrote:I'm still trying to figure out what the 'That's Lieutenant Colonel Errand Boy' line comes from... :?
Oh, something I forgot before. I liked how Ronin was pouting because there wasn't a bounty on him, as if he wasn't important or dangerous enough.

Yes, I know what they said... the problem is, it's a reference to *something* along those lines-- IIRC it's 'That's *Captain* Errand Boy to you', but I'm not sure...

SG-1 was sorta a throwaway episode and Atlantis got tied up to neatly. Cowen was a good villian and its a shame that he got killed; the new guy just didn't seem to have the same presence as he had. He's a sneaky SOB though, so maybe something good will come of it. Some good lines, but meh all around this time.
