Stargate SG-1 Season 9, eps 9-12

9.9: Prototype:

+What’s this? It it time for the seasonal gate malfunction?

+Daniel is taking on Jack’s old role of pretending to understand the technobabble that comes out of Sam’s mouth. I thought that was Cameron’s job now. Maybe TPTB didn’t notice they had Michael Shanks on the set instead of Ben Browder.

+ "NEW GUY!" "WELL YOU TOUCHED THAT!" I was waiting for a "new guy" scene. The fact that they look a lot alike only makes it better.

+Lam is sitting in on this "Anubis spawn" pow wow like "are they always like this?"

+I see Cameron believes that guns are natural companions to sedatives. He’s also as fond of pointing out that Sam is at least twice as smart as him as Jack is.

+I love my Sam for being able to find good qualities in anyone. Well, almost anyone.

+Anubis-spawn certainly loves to display his genetic superiority.

+About time Sam had an idea that saved the day. (Kinda.)

+Anubis-spawn was kinda fun, in an "I am evil and all powerful and unstoppable but will be keeled by men with guns" way.

9.10: The Fourth Horseman, part 1:

+It seems anything remotely disrespectful about Lam is the new big no-no on the base. I actually approve of this.

+Gerak’s an Ori worshipper. What a shock.

+BBBBRRRRRAAAAA’TTTTTAAAACCCC!! Ah, Bra’tac and Teal’c in combination only point out Gerak’s problems...

+Aww, does Sam give poor Lee a bit of an inferiority complex?

+HAMMOND!!! Show, I’m not sure I trust you, giving me Hammond and Bra’tac in the same episode...

+Aaah...time for another deadly outbreak brought back through the stargate.

+Ascended guy in love with Sam came back all...little.

+I think prior!Gerak is trying to imitate early seasons Teal’c’s scowl.

9.11: The Fourth Horseman, part 2

+Hey look, the Sodan(sp?) Jaffa are still capable of independent thought. I knew I liked them for a reason.

+Daniel and Cameron like their anti-prior toy a little too much.

+I take it back. Bra’tac does the speeches better than Teal’c. But then, Teal’c is Bra’tac Jr., so it’s to be expected.

+The Ori are coming to wipe out the ancients? Maybe it’ll be mutual.

+You know, this whole "turned into a kid" thing? Is actually a step up for Orlan compared to what happens to most non-Earthlings who fall in love with Sam.

9.12: Collateral Damage:

+That was a good sci-fi memory-altering ep, but I could have done with fewer flashbacks to the death.

I think it's time for Vala to come back, now.

I think I need to examine why SG-1's "boys will be boys" approach to somethings make me smile and want to pat heads, while SGA's makes me want to hurt things.  It's probably because SG-1 loves its female characters, while SGA seems to think they're there to be made to look terrible so the boys can look good.  (Of course, everyone in SG-1 also has a functioning brain.  And cheerfully acknowledge when they aren't cut out for a decision, or when someone else is better equipped to make it.  SGA has...Teyla.  And Ross.  But they're stuck following the guys who screw everything up, but we're supposed to think it's all their female boss's fault, even though most of it is her having to clean up after their messes.)

*skips 9 and 10, since she never actually watched them*

I--

You know what's sad? I don't really remember the other one, either. and Orlin always annoyed me.

As for 12, they obviously watched a lot of Farscape before directing.

I forgot all about Orlin until he showed up again. I thought something about ep 12 looked familiar.
