Sam and Daniel always like ( ˘ ᵕ˘(˘ᵕ ˘ )

[sapphic-luthor]

okay we’re 4 episodes into season one and highlights of gfs comments so far include:

saying IMMEDIATELY that episode 1 could not be more gay coded what with kara’s desperation to live her truth and be herself etc etc etc

she’s delighted to see maxwell lord bc he is apparently the dad in twilight

kara at catco reminds her slightly of pam from the office of all people which .. absolutely baffles me

SG Earthspark: I'm not sure how and why the Emberstone should break in the S1 finale.

It doesn't help that i don't know why it randomly broke in canon.

It had something to do with defeating the death tower and bringing the bots all back, right? Iicr?

Stargate SG-1 : There But for the Grace of God

Daniel’s little dancey-dance as he says "I am a member of S-G-1 ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ" gives me life and I had to share.

[lightthewaybackhome]

Home (S1: E8)

S: 840 years.

R: What?

S: That's how long it would take us to come get you by puddle jumper.

R: And you would do that, right?

S: Of course we would.

Sheppard is being sarcastic, but Rodny puts a plan in place later to rescue Sheppard 48,000 years in the future. 5 minutes into this stupid episode and I'm crying.

Home in the bigger context is just so beautiful.

Up to now, the team has felt a bit fractured. We've had Teyla not being trusted, we've had Sheppard not committed to giving his life for his team, and we've had then leave a new ally behind. Then Home, The Storm, and the Eye.

I love Sheppard and Elizabeth's little back and forth about how they're not going anywhere.

Watching this in chronological order, you immediately know something is wrong because Hammond meets Elizabeth on the other side of the Stargate. He's no longer in charge of the SG-1.

Sheppard, first to notice, because Hammond is telling him how great a job he's done. (Outcast indicates that he never heard that from his Dad, and the way the Sumner and other military leaders treat him, I don't think he's heard it from his superiors.) And it makes me sad that he knows it's wrong because things are good. Atlantis and these people become home because it's the first time Sheppard is actually wanted. Elizabeth straight up told him in their little chat that she wants him to stay. They want Sheppard when no one else on Earth does.

Rodney with no messages on his answering machine made me tear up. They want Rodney on Atlantis when no one else on Earth wants him.

Hospital for souls. The ultimate Goonies.

Sheppard looks so uncomfortable starting at the shopping trip with Teyla. The first time through I thought it was just him being grumpy about girls shopping, but now it makes my stomach turn because I know he's scrambling inside trying to figure out exactly what is going on.

The pause when he sees his Johnny Cash poster. So creepy. And it finally clicked for me why he just casually flips the bottle cap across the room instead of throwing it in the trash. This isn't home. He knows it. He knows this is totally fake.

Sheppard's head is filled with dead people. 😭😭😭

I truly think this is the most important episode in Season 1. This is when Atlantis becomes home.

Sheppard has more holes in his soul, from seeing his dead friends, from seeing his empty life on earth. But he's head home, home and healing. He's going where they want him. Rodney is going where they want him. Atlantis wants them.

The Storm (S1: E9)

I love Rodney standing in front of Weir again and again. I love Sheppard going into total warrior mode.

This is just one of my favorite "fun" episodes.

The Eye (S1: E10)

S: He'll kill them to punish me.

I don't know why, but I found this line haunting. Sheppard's greatest weakness is his people. If you want to hurt him, you hurt them.

I just love these three episodes together. I love how they realize Home is Atlantis and then they fight to save her. Rodney and Sheppard and Weir really bond in this set, along with Teyla, Carson, and Ford. They've really really settled into a great team, great friends who have each other's back. Plus, Kolya makes a great villain.

Rewatching supergirl and I kinda like Maxwell Lord. Like I don’t like him cause he’s like evil or whatever but character wise he’s so interesting, I wish they brought him back. AND actually instead of Edge challenging Lena in season 3 what if it was Max??? I feel like that would be so interesting. And like what if they had a whole rivalry in season 2 cause they’re both tech people and want to be best selling or whatever and Lena just got to absolutely crush him (for woman empowerment reasons of course, definitely not because I’m a flaming homosexual and just like to see her win) and then he was bitter for like the rest of the series??? Like this man had so much potential I need him back. Like he could be the anti-hero of the series forever and I’d be eating it up. Like maybe he has a few knight in shining armor moments and then turns around and says he hates all of them while he’s actively saving their lives?? PLEASE I NEED HIM BACK. HE WAS SO SNARKY.

my life was getting so sad w/o a media to chew on (recently the shows ive been into r only for a month like on & off) so I’m literally regressing & finally watching s5 of arrow. I thought I would just obsess over laurel again (but specifically e-2 laurel) but I think it’s actually Felicity???? like you KNOW the brainrot is getting bad when you search up what media the actress has been in (I watched funny story last night & it killed me, like I usually skim just for their scenes but I watched this whole thing through) anyways it’s been a year since I last watched so my memory is super fuzzy abt the earlier seasons but I really don’t wanna rewatch from s1. From old rants I didn’t really like her in s4 at some points but I’m honestly so convinced A LOT of the hatred towards her is due to misogyny (same w Iris tbh w racism thrown in)

General thoughts on handsome Sam Arias?

Oh gosh, so many. I haven't had a chance to think about her in quite a while - thank you for this ask!

Sam was such a good addition to the cast, and it's really too bad it wasn't feasible for Odette to stay longer than one season. Sam and Alex had such a nice chemistry, too - and with Ruby right there just as Alex was starting to think about children ... sigh. I'd have loved to see them explore that more.

Post-S1, I also think Reign was arguably CWSG's best Big Bad. The duality of Reign and Sam, how formidable she was as a physical equal to Kara, her backstory and deep bond with Lena, Lena's determination to save her even in the face of Kara/SG's wrath ... oof. I wish they'd gone with the comics backstory of the Worldkillers as originally being created by Kara's father rather than the witches, but still - so much to love about Sam/Reign's story.

And I know it took some fudging at the end, but I'm GLAD they saved Handsome Sam at the end of the season, and she and Ruby got a happy ever after! If only she'd have come back earlier in S5 to talk Lena out of the mind control foolishness and remind the writers that she exists and can convince Lena and Andrea to talk too! Lmao. (Lordy, can you imagine a season with all three of them together??)

"I beg of you to show mercy."

[autistic-crypt1d]

I'm referring to episodes where the majority of it is flashbacks from previous episodes. Ex. S1 E20 of SG-1

[transingthoseformers]

SG Earthspark: What if in somewhere during s1 Shockwave sends text emojis, but instead of normal ones like :) they're like \[^] / and Meridian (who may not even know about text emojis) goes "... Is that your face?"

Ohhh aw yeah that's definitely going to happen

Makes sense

Another free evening tonight, so I was able to watch the next episode in my Stargate re-watch - S1 episode 4 Emancipation.

It wasn’t as terrible as I’d expected! I’d forgotten a lot of the plot, including that the leader of the first tribe they encounter, Moughal, is fairly open-minded (though Carter still has to wear traditional dress), but his son Abu abducts Carter to trade her for Turghan’s daughter Nya. The rest of SG1 rescue Carter (by trading Jack’s gun for her), but they then go back to rescue Nya from being stoned to death, and Carter fights and beats Turghan to win Nya’s freedom and her own freedom.

There’s a couple of interesting points about the society - Moughal says that the rules were to keep women safe from the ‘demons’ that brought them there (presumably the Goa’uld), and points out that Turghan has to punish his daughter to show that he upholds the law, especially for his own family.

Daniel is still calling Sam ‘Doctor Carter’ in this episode, showing that they’re not really friends yet, and he’s the one who insists she wear the dress and talks about how SG1 can’t interfere with their customs. Fairly sure they don’t keep to that later in the series!

The scene with Sam in the blue dress is played for laughs, and we also get the reference to whatever Sam did on P3X-595.

Jack questions Sam’s hand to hand fighting skills (still seeing her mainly as a scientist?) and he has his hand on his gun during the fight, but after she’s won the fight, you see him looking at her as if he’s reassessing his opinion of her.

One thing that stood out is that we don’t see much of Sam’s interactions with the women of the tribes, beyond her conversations with Nya. I think (hope?) this would be different if the show was made today.

I have found a couple of stories linked to the episode that I enjoyed. This is a short and thoughtful story about Sam getting the blue dress, and the value of traditional women’s work:

This is a story about SG1 dealing with a similar culture, set in season 6, which is moving and troubling at the same time. There’s a line in there that really got to me.

Next episode: The Broca Divide.

[quackle]

i think the first three boots could've been handled better tbh. Axel and Caleb got the Trent treatment of having their characters almost completely revolve around their love interests and then after episode 1 they pretty much just forgot about Nichelle save for her passing remarks about Hollywood and her spat with Julia...which in hindsight made it totally obvious she was gonna get eliminated😭let her do ANYTHING next season!

oh most definitely!! it's a shame since they introduced some substance for those three during s2—caleb's whole thing about how he works hard doing everything to be his strict parent's golden child, axel's love for the arts despite her tough exterior + her goal of wanting to be "nicer" to others, nichelle's insistence of being the best at something due to the public's negative judgement on her previous capabilities. and yet... little to nothing on those ends. just heavy relationship focus with one set person (nichelle + hollywood is unfortunately a metaphorical toxic situationship of some sort)

if there's a third season (and let's hope there is cause i can't let this show go pfft-), the writers could still work with these tiny details in mind. i mean, they did little with them, so the world is their oyster story-wise. they could easily give them at least a tiny arc diving deeper in their characters.

buttttt i fear one of them might be an early boot. most likely nichelle, since there's got to be that one character to never merge, and who better than the silly celebrity who already has money? i have (unfortunately) been a fan of this show for a good portion of my life and something i have learned is that nothing ever goes the way i want it. so i won't be surprised if that's the case 😭

i just want the reboot s1 bottom three to have some more substance... a little character development as a treat even... they deserve it </3

(bonus sg + a partial ripper as a treat idk the s1 bottom three don't got any other pics with all of them smiling i think because they detest each other 90% of the time-)

Currently watching/rewatching

Nice to do a lil housekeeping of what I'm currently watching. Some of these shows have stalled, and a lot of them are with @kiranerys.

To further break down: Watching Solo: Mrs. Wilson: Which I've just started and is only 3 episodes long Silo: current season The Handmaid's Tale: season 5, I've got 2 episodes left Clone High: Season 2 of the reboot and it didn't get renewed The Rockford Files: I'm on the 90s TV movies and honeslty I think one more out of the 9? total and I'm done. (Beth is in the next one and I'm curious) Falling Skies: I'm giving this show another shot. season 1 didn't impress me but supposedly it'll get better? we'll see. SGU: rewatch, back half of s2. it nets me a lot of gifs hence the slower pace.

Watching with @kiranerys:

Law & Order: the og seasons, it's our comfort show right now and we've chugged thru a bunch. We've both seen chunks of it prior. And some SVUs too thrown in the mix for good measure. We've tried some eps of the current seasons and they're uh, bad. WWDITS: current season Moonflower Murders: We've got one final ep, Renae has read the books. Guy Montgomery's Guy Mont Spelling Bee: NZ edition, we've already watched the Australian one and are steadily doing season 1. SG-1 and SGA: I've already done my rewatch of those earlier and we're at s10 of SG-1 and s3 of SGA respectively Foyle's War: given their length once in a while we do one, a rewatch for Renae, first time for me. Abbott Elementary: almost halfway thru Season 3. another good wind down show. Flashforward: Rewatch for me, first time for Renae. when the mood strikes, once in ahwhile Fringe: Rewatch for both of us, tho there are some episodes I hadn't seen in s1 and 5. We were plowing thru these a bit faster but Law & Order took over Due South: Rewatch for me, first time for her, although I haven't watched it since it aired and most of the episodes have kind of faded from memory. Russian Doll: Kinda of put it on the backburner for a while but we just started it back up and will finish it.

That's not counting one-off episodes we might toss in of say Trek.
