Spoilers for stargate sg-1 season 2 ep 7

i'm loving this episode so far especially when teal'c doesn't understand the term "booby trap" and says in confusion "booby?"

Bro jack gets hurt and immediately calls to teal'c to kill it, and the way he touches to teal'c is just chef's kisses

Its funny when everyone is trying to think of a way to remove the thing inside jack but jacks in so much in pain he's like "where the hell is teal'c" (he trusts him to immediately to remove it) and yells his name when he see's teal'c

i love how teal'c is like annoyed with the process of removing the poll from jack because its so slow but he can't do anything

omgosh teal'c is keeping watch of jack

aww jack feels bad that teal'c is with him

I was so confused when teal'c said "undomesticated equines could not remove me" I thought he meant to say he would never move even if it was an order or something. But when I searched up the term it referred to horses. Then jack said "you told a joke" then sincerely whispered "Don't make me laugh, please" (probably because it hurts)

bruh they hit us with a "your a great friend" line (there so gay for each other)

okay I know this is a sad episode for jack but out of topic, this ep has a lot of Sam and Daniel moments for their friendship which is cute

[cowgirls-blues]

So the Pilot Program's motives are teamwork (Jammer), network (K), community (Sam) and belonging (Evan). Something something the strongest magic is the links we forge with people (as seen in the first season and it's true more than ever now that the world is changing again, and they/people are more isolated). Hell yeah.

mismag 2 theory abt the origins of the well

my theory is that magic USED to be accessible for everyone until someone(s) made the decision to shield it from the majority of the world (maybe some catastrophic magic shiz happened), and in order to pull that off they had to construct a place for excess magic to collect and compound (the well)

so when our guys tried to spread magic to the world again, SURE, everybody can SEE magic is there now, but you can’t dismantle such an elaborate machine just by sharing information. i’d even go so far as to say that’s an intentional failsafe that whoever made the well built into the system

and speaking of failsafes, i’m pretty sure the storm serpent is another one, meant to protect the well

The Girls ™

[starkrebellion]

Cobra Kai season 6 part 2 finale prediction:

just before landing the winning kick against Robby, Kwon instead helps him up and they kiss in front of everyone while in live TV. Kwon confesses that he was jealous of Tory for having been with Robby but didn't know how to deal with his feelings so he just started flirting with her instead. Robby says that he was jealous too but not because Tory was with another guy, but because he didn't get to be the one who got to date Cobra Kai's new cute top student. They start wildly making out in the middle of the Sekai Taikai mats while everyone just stares at them for a while. But then Tory gets inspired and seeks out Sam. They start kissing too. Hawk shrugs, accepting his destiny, and grabs Demetri and they start making out as well. Johnny turns to Daniel, asking if "everyone is just gay now" before they confess their over 30 years lasting yearning for one another. That's when Kreese takes out the knife we see in the trailer, but instead of attacking anyone he uses it on himself. No one notices.

edit: seems like I was A LITTLE incorrect...

IWTV spoilers, but.

Daniel Malloy really said ‘fuck you, Armand’, exposed 70+ years of lies and ended their relationship. Wouldn’t surprise me if he tweeted #teamloustat before Armand turned him, either. Good for him honestly. Good for him.

(more rambling in the tags)

[fighting-naturalist]

Sam and Daniel in "Covenant"

[blackbird-brewster]

Stargate Command has one of those OSHA posters that says "X number of days since incident" but Jack changed it to say "X number of days since Daniel died"

[impressionism]

Dude.

What did I watch??!

That entire segment of post Louis attacking Daniel and Armand coming in up to when Louis recounts being out in the sun… the lack of breathing and movement from me… shook.

Geez this entire episode was just visceral. Great acting all around, amazing chemistry, the writing, Luke was amaaaaazing as young Daniel.

I’m so speechless like I need to go outside to touch grass but the boogeyman is out there but I’d risk it! This episode changed my brain chemicals in a similar way that Possession (1981) has and I’ll be thinking of it for the rest of the week.

Daniel’s torture, Louis on literal fire, Dubai!Daniel who just wants to fucking understand, Armand who we know is fucking powerful and scary but my God… and that longing, that longing Louis has for Lestat. And these beats of silence and understanding between Daniel and Louis is just 👏🏽

This show is the epitome of beauty, tragedy and horror.

I love this show.

[corvidaeconundrum]

When in doubt, poly it out

(They’re both holding Sam’s hand)

I always find it so wonderfully interesting when people prefer IWTV S1 to S2 but, tbh, they're both great seasons of television.

When I saw S1 as it premiered, I consistently struggled with it. There were (and to this day are) parts of it that severely pissed me off. "A Vile Hunger..." (1x5) is still the episode I like to rewatch the least, for example. It took me watching S1 twice to totally love the show. And it's because, when I saw S1, I was holding onto the source material while I watched.

This was fucking stupid on my part, especially given I took a class on adaptation while at Uni and got the academic tools to discern what makes for a good adaptation in film terms (I've talked about other adaptations with people who are book readers first and they tend to view it way differently). Hell, I wrote a thesis on why Clueless is a great adaptation of Jane Austen's Emma regardless of the change of setting in both time and place.

But IWTV was way too personal to me, it went back to my childhood, so it was hard to let go. I did instantly love a lot of the changes. I love the time change and the change to Louis' race and background. I love that we saw more of Louis pre-vampirism and that show Louis has more complex reasons for his long term struggles whereas book Louis just seemed so whiny to me for no reason. On the other hand, I struggled with: why is it a second interview, why was Claudia SA-ed, why the DV, why is fucking Antoinette a canker sore that never leaves, why the fuck is Armand in Dubai, what the fuck is happening with this timeline? I couldn't let go and my viewing experience suffered for it.

When I sat down to watch a second time, I said, "Ok, do what you were taught and let the source go. Adaptations cannot be 1:1 due to the change in medium". And that's when things started clicking. I stopped viewing S1, and the show as a whole, as needing to use the books as a plot bible and viewed it as using them as a guidebook to function on TV terms and tell its own version of the story. It allowed me to appreciate the things I loved much more and to understand the ones I hadn't been so sure about and, even, love some of those things.

For S2, I went into it with that mentality already so I solely judged it on film/TV terms even though, having read books 1-4 and 6 and reading about the rest, I saw subtle things people with no knowledge of the source canon did not. Like when YT reactors consistently worried about Daniel being killed and I'm just filing my nails because, to those in the know, Daniel has massive plot armour. Or people being confused about Raglan James and I'm sat there like wtf does this trifling ass want? Nevertheless, I enjoyed the tale as it was told and what it was on solely TV terms.

Both season are great television but, to me, S2 just took it up a notch. Daniel Hart popped off extra hard. Carol Cutshall popped off extra hard in costuming (stg she played faves because why did Armand get more fashion slays than anyone else? ^_^). The sets went extra hard. The acting, which was already superb in S1 because this is a fucking excellent cast (Jacob, Sam, Eric, Bailey, and Delainey 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼), went harder as well because we have more players such as Ben Daniels doing the absolute MOST with Santiago, Roxane Duran being absolutely OUTSTANDING as the formidable Madeleine, and Assad Zaman stepping out from the background and giving a STUNNING performance as, to me, what's clearly the definitive Armand. To my taste, S2 is a lot less slow and I felt the pot boiling tension to the explosive ending build more keenly than in S1. And, again to my taste, the ending of S2 felt more satisfying because we have a sense of completion in Louis' journey rather than a, admittedly dope, cliffhanger. S2 has, arguably, the 3 best episodes of the show so far in "Don't Be Afraid..." (2x5) "I Could Not Prevent It" (2x7), and "And That's The End of It..." (2x8). For me, there's just no contest.

And yeah S2 isn't perfect either. The abrupt episode endings, for example, are a bit annoying---especially the end of 2x4. Yes, there's bits I would've changed a bit. (Though I will say, some book readers apparently wanted the show to include book Armand's Franken-experiments and I could very much do without it ever being included because it serves no narrative purpose other than to prolong Claudia's suffering. The show already goes hard to show Armand is a fucking asshole in other ways and it's gonna add to that in S3. We don't need that detail.) But, as a season of television, it just went the extra mile.

Still, I love that some people prefer S1. I love that they prefer S1 because it's more intimate or because it's more of a family season or because of the good Louis and Lestat moments or the good vampire family moments. Or maybe they love it for other reasons, it's all very personal.

I still think "In Throes of Increasing Wonder" is an outstanding pilot and it's one of my favourite episodes. Louis' confessional scene/the church scene is definitely one of the top moments of the show. Claudia's monologue at the end of "The Ruthless Pursuit of Blood..." still gives me goosebumps. Claudia stomping on Antoinette's fucking face and Daniel reading Louis to absolute FILTH at the end of "The Thing Lay Still" both make me clap and stomp like I'm at a concert or a sporting event.

Either way, S1 or S2, it's great TV and it deserves more love and recognition. I hope it gets it because it's truly deserving. Maybe we just need to hear our Brat Prince have his say for the uninitiated to awaken to it. S3 I have been seated since they made the call to release that teaser.
