Adora during the Thaymore party watching a performance, distancing herself from all the kids watching the same thing, but watching with the same childlike wonder. And then Glimmer seeing her like that, and reevaluating her cold demeanour towards her. I am emotional.

She-Ra and the Princesses of Power 1x02

[jadelotusflower]

Stargate rewatch: 1x17 Solitudes

aka episode of the blurry/dark screenshots. What is this, Game of Thrones?

A Brad Wright episode, and the debut of the franchise’s most prolific director Martin Wood.

Jack and Sam bond over his broken bones and her inability to make a splint, heh.

It’s Siler! aka Dan Shea, RDA’s stunt double and later Stunt Coordinator.

Hammond giving him half the time Siler says it will take to fix the Gate and Siler going “it doesn’t work that way sir” is great, nice subversion of a trope.

lol, how many times do we get an extreme close up on Daniel’s face and a blurry pov shot of him waking up from being k’o-ed on this show? A lot, I can tell you.

Sam correctly identifies their situation (option 2) but gets stuck on the probabilities of the SGC finding them, leaving Jack to be the optimist. Nice callback (unintentional or not) to him sarcastically telling Samuels in 1x02 to “let me be the optimist for once.”

Sam then deduces that the matter steam jumped to a different but nearby Stargate, just as Daniel comes to the same conclusion. Wonder Twin powers, activate!

At least they got good lighting in the close ups!

The gang's all here - even Harriman (who as this point is just Airman/Technician).

I do love it when they use the plexiglass map.

What is Siler’s job anyway? Chief engineer?

Sam identifies this symbol (far right) as the point of origin on the DHD. We later learn this Gate was the original one used by the Ancients and this could conceivably be an Alteran-esque symbol since we know their written language is block based and their aesthetic is heavy on the circles. It could represent a sun and a pillar, or maybe a Stargate itself.

It does explain away a bit of a plot hole with Earth’s point of origin being a pyramid if the gate was built pre-Ra. It makes more sense that this is the original Earth point of origin and the other was built/chosen later.

Oof Jack coughing up blood onto the snow.

Why Sam doesn’t try to dial any addresses other than Earth - la la la don’t think about it. Sam's brain too cold to function I guess?

Or maybe the DHD has something else wrong with it? We learn later that connecting the DHD designates that gate as the primary gate on Earth, so really the SGC gate shouldn’t be working at all if Sam is trying to use the Antarctic gate.

Nice little moment where Sam says that if they don’t make it she won’t have any regrets, and Jack says he’ll regret dying - a good reflection of both their characters.

Daniel with his ever-present coffee, but this time with good reason. There’s a cool shot of him in the control room worrying, tracking up to Hammond in the briefing room worrying. Martin Wood loves a tracking shot. I love a tracking shot too.

I also love how interactive the set is, the gate room, viewing room, briefing room, and Hammond’s office are all connected allowing us to move through the set as if it were a real facility.

“I should have gotten you out of here by now.” Aw, Sam! Telling language through use of “you” and not “us.” She’s the problem solver but can’t solve the problem, and even though Jack is in command, given his injury she’s now the one who feels responsible for him and his safety when usually it's the other way around.

Amanda Tapping is great in this episode, we don’t often see Sam so frustrated, unable to push through to find the answer.

Also a tender moment when Jack calls out for Sara and Sam, having been told earlier that Sara is what got him through a similar situation, giving him the comfort of “I’m here, Jack.”

Uh oh, I think that means there’s a T-Rex around!

“We ruled out a world we shouldn’t have.” Daniel thinking forth dimensionally again! Even separated the team are still working together, the juxtaposition of Sam trying and failing to the dial the gate but Daniel still receiving the message is great.

Ah, I love it when they work a retcon into the plot! The SGC installed “frequency dampeners” that stopped the shaking of the gate (and made the trip through smoother/less cold), so the shaking now is unusual and helps them solve the mystery.

Aw, Hammond going along with the rescue party. He’s well and truly Papa Hammond now!

ok, so maybe i'm like the last person who still ships this but...

nicole/dana from zoey101? literally jori vibes? why does this not exist enough in the internet?

i have a headcanon that i'm not sure i'll ever write into a fully story but since both nicole and dana got written out of the show to attend different boarding schools, what if nicole and dana ended up at the same one? (i know dana apparently went to some european one, and nicole to some unnamed all-girls school, but come on!!!)

there's potential here, it's the same trope. they bicker all the time, dana is literally jade west (sans scissor infatuation and goth look) and nicole is basically tori (with extra canon-forced "boy crazy")

in episode 1x02, zoey literally says "I think they're happiest when they're arguing" and they literally showed up together looking like a couple ready for a double date....

so what if dana has been struggling to adapt to the new school, and nicole comes in mid-semester (as you do when you're a tori vega sub-in) and dana's room is the only double with availability because she's literally scared off every other roommate she's been paired with and the RA has to beg nicole to agree to room with dana because no one else wants to and there's all that history between them being bickering roommates in room 101 with zoey except there's no mediator here now and nicole is struggling with the "OMGD diagnosis" (and how it's probably bs) and nicole and dana have separately learned a little about being more respectful roommates and how to communicate better and then there's a few times that dana steps up to protect nicole from some bullying and then they just start getting closer because they're clinging to the only familiar face in this strange place and---

well, you get the idea...
