Vala being helpful "Morpheus"

[agent-troi]

i cackled🤣🤣

[wormholecallfowarding]

we joke about Daniel’s coffee addiction but considering the military just gives soldiers and pilots amphetamines i think a coffee addiction is actually pretty tame

[elenath9]

Lots of sleepy Daniel here. Love the way he runs in the first one.

Vala proves she is not a replicant

[SG-1] 10.02: Morpheus

Previously on SG1… Vala had her baby and it was rather unusual. Daniel found a lead on how to kill the Ori, and we’re fighting a losing battle.

Hi Teal’c. Oh dear.

Sorry Vala, it sounds like your baby is all grown up and not listening to Mama.

I’m sorry what now Danny?

Wow Danny… you can speak really fast.

Okay, ouch. Poor Vala.

Poor Daniel. :D

How did Vala get his password though?

Misty and mysterious. Hmm.

“This place is deader than a Texas salad bar.”

Well that bench hasn’t been maintained in a long time.

Lol. Watch her. :D

Vala sweetie, that’s not how it works…

“Because, you are also a tortoise.” I need this on a tshirt.

Yeah… what birds? It’s too quiet here.

Vala… sweetie, you’re trying to hard…

Lol. What?

Flower!

Dragonfly!

Bumblebee!!

Awww…. I was having fun with the inkblots.

Um… Cam… I don’t think he can wake up.

Stay awake guys. Do we have coffee? Oh, no… we have something else pills.

Oh, we do have coffee. Yay.

Look Cam, if you want to stay behind and read the alien doctor notes, you need to be able to read their language.

Hoo boy… What do you want Woolsey?

Um… do you know how creepy you sound right now?

She’s super uncomfortable with this.

Lol. Have you ever stolen anything?

Awkward…

Parasite?? Um… are you sure you want to do that??

Well crap…

Oh boy… now the kid is dead. This isn’t good.

And we’re missing another kid somewhere.

Oh ew!!

So… there’s a lizard. A living lizard. How do we catch the little bugger?

Oh crap… Dude I think he’s dying…

Vala’s on a roll! Shall we call her butter?

Don’t go to sleep Daniel. ;w;

Nyuu! Don’t sleep! The Med team is here to save the day!

…okay, the Med team is not here to save the day.

Teal’c! It’s all on you bro!!

What? Noooo. C’mon Teal’c, you can do ittt!!!

Oh phew. The Med team did save the day.

Problem in the gate room?

Vala? What are you doing?

Yay! You passed!

“I’d like to report a rather disagreeable little man.” “That would be me.”

Pffftttt…. Vala causing a goddamn scandal wherever she goes.

Daniel giving Cam the look.

Pfft. Sorry Daniel, you should have seen that coming?

Stargate SG1 s10e02 ‘Morpheus’

Does it pass the Bechdel Test?

No.

How many female characters (with names and lines) are there?

Two (18.18% of cast).

How many male characters (with names and lines) are there?

Nine.

Positive Content Rating:

Three.

General Episode Quality:

Kinda dull.

MORE INFO (and potential spoilers) UNDER THE CUT:

Passing the Bechdel:

:(

Female characters:

Samantha Carter.

Vala Mal Doran.

Male characters:

Teal’c.

Cameron Mitchell.

Daniel Jackson.

Hank Landry.

Reimer.

Hutchison.

Ackerman.

Grimsby.

Richard Woolsey.

OTHER NOTES:

Very unprofessional of Hutchison to compliment Vala’s appearance. That’s got nothing to do with the evaluation, that’s all him, and it’s uncool.

Vala gives Hutchison a good what-for later, though. Not about him inappropriately remarking upon her looks, but a good what-for regardless.

My cat just tried to help Mitchell catch the lizard. Teal’c got it first.

I’m not a fan of the joke at the end there, with Vala claiming that Woolsey made sexual advances at her. The idea is that she’s getting back at him for the manipulation he participated in during Vala’s psych evaluation, and none of the other characters legitimately suspect Woolsey of sexual harassment, so we’re all just supposed to laugh at him protesting his innocence, laugh at Vala getting him back for the evaluation, and move on. I recognise that, but honestly I don’t think there are any circumstances under which jokes about sexual impropriety are funny to me, and I get specifically irked by anything which plays into the idea of women making up harassment or assault accusations just to mess with guys, even if it is framed as a joke and not serious. The problem of women being accused of lying about being abused if they dare try to report it is too significant and widespread for me to have a sense of humour about jokes which perpetuate the ‘lying women’ myth. Swing and a miss for me there.

My (grown up, adult) brother calls this episode ‘Sleepy Bug Ground’. Not to be confused with ‘Eat-y Bug Ground’, which was last season. To be honest, amusing myself by thinking of the episode as ‘Sleepy Bug Ground’ is the most fun I have with this. It isn’t terrible, but it’s certainly not thrilling either, and it seems kinda strange that they managed to fill an entire episode with such spare storytelling. At least we got to watch Christopher Judge wrestle a rubber lizard in a bag.

So I started watching Magic in the Water and it’s got just a wonderful cast.

It stars Mark Harmon and Joshua Jackson.

But there’s also...

Teryl Rothery!

Tom Cavanagh!

Harley Jane Kozak better remembered as Sara O’Neill

Adrien Doval who was in the SG1 episode “Company of Thieves” as Borzin but also did an episode of MacGyver with RDA.

John Procaccino who was in Farewell to Harry with Joe Flanigan

Morris Panych who was in a bunch of X-Files as the Gray Haired Man.

Tamsin Kelsey who was Gairwyn in the SG-1 episodes “Thor’s Hammer” and “Thor’s Chariot”

Lesley Ewen who has not only done SG-1 but also The Witcher, Arrow and The Sentinel. You’d know her if you saw her.

Ben Immanuel (Ben Ratnor) who did a couple of SG-1 episodes - “Morpheus” and “Wormhole X-Treme!”

I mean, it’s a kids/family movie so it’s played a little broad but it was fun and I kept going “Hey! I know that guy from something!”
