Broca Divide
Fave Quote:Jack: "Lucy, I'm home!" and of course the sweet little tank top number comment
Fave Scene: Sam jumping Jack in the locker room.
The pre mission briefing: Did they always wear Dress Blues (or greens for the Marines) for the pre mission briefings?
Sending a team through without knowing what's on the other side. Seems a little reckless. Wouldn't they normally have checked to make sure they didn't arrive in cave? Guessing that the 'lights' are broken seems strange, why not send another MALP to be sure?
Jack has a very valid point about Skaara and Sha're and the Marines shooting first, but with that thought, if another SG team did find them and shoot first, questions later, wouldn't they be in the same boat?
Jack making 'swirly' patterns in the event horizon. Isn't this one of the things that drove the special effects guys nuts?
Darkness, all the time? How is there abundant plant life? Plants need sunlight for photosynthesis, to grow, live, survive. Always bugged me. If it's as dark as General Hammond suggests in the briefing where the MALP can not see anything without light, and assuming that we can 'see' the people and surroundings is because otherwise it would be a very boring episode to watch a black screen, it would be pitch black most of the time.
My thoughts on a 'dark side':
Ahhhhh, the locker room scene... Jack without a shirt. Ok, I promise not to drool anymore....
Sam jumps Jack. Jack has no idea why, but has a hard time fighting her off (given she got several hard kisses in, managed to pin him down....). Either he's completely fine, very suprised and part of him is enjoying it and doesn't want to stop it, or the illness is starting to get to him and his primitave instincts are screaming at him to procreate but not very strongly.
Yay for Janet!!!! I liked Janet Frasier right from the get go.
When Jack is telling Daniel about what happened with him and Sam he seems very uncomfortable. I think he's not quite gone 'primative' yet and he's horribly embarrased for her sake and his. Did anyone see? They know it's an illness but not what it is, or what it's doing to them. Jack has no idea why Sam jumped him. He's probalby running a million scenarios in his mind as to why, what caused it, how does the illness pass from person to person etc. He's probably also concerned about his and Sam's career. I bet at this point, he doesn't see Sam as someone he'd like to date. She's just a co-worker, a team member, and I still don't think the team is terribly close with each other. If he didn't know Sam and ran into her, got talking, he'd probably ask her out... maybe... He can't miss the fact she's gorgeous (AT is!!!!)
It's the moment Daniel mentions that he should go visit that Jack goes crazy, ending up beating Daniel pretty good. He just goes all Alpha Male, and freaks out when someone shows concern for his woman. Janet did mention to him that Sam probably 'attacked' him because she saw him as the strongest candidate to father strong offspring. Basic survival of the fittest. Sam sees Jack as a leader, a tough man, a strong man. Her basic instincts are telling her this is a man who could produce offspring able to survive. She isn't considering a potential father figure for a child, only procreation, I'm assuming like animal instincts. She doesn't go after the leader of the base, Hammond, and subconsciously she considers Jack a tougher man than Hammond.
Janet says to Jack that he can't have more sedative because he's above the maximum and he was more violent than anyone else. Why was that? Did the illness get him worse than anyone else? No tolerance for it? Or because he has a foul temper, dark places in his mind? I'm not saying that Jack is the kind of guy who flys off the handle and would kill someone in cold blood for a small matter, but we know (or come to know) that he has a temper, but keeps it pretty tightly checked.
for Daniel's unibrow!!!! And Sams!!!!!!!!!
At the end where Sam says they know how to lift the curse, Jack shoots her a look. Almost as if they are starting to talk without words. She says that, he glances at her as if to say, 'Sam? You sure you wanna say that?" Sam responds with another look that sorta says, "You got any better ideas?"
I like the conversation at the end. Sam seems pretty thrilled when Jack says he was concerned. Or suprised, I'm not sure which. When he comments on the 'sweet little tank top number' she looks horrified, then grins. I think she's horrified at what he's saying, reminding her of what she's just apologized for, jumping her CO. But then she grins when she realises he's having a go at her, joking around with her.
Sam and Jack implications: Well, Sam sees Jack as an 'Alpha Male' which obviously makes Jack feel good about himself. What man could resist being told one way or another that he's an alpha male, leader of the pack and all that jazz. It's a pretty awkward situation all around. Sam jumped her CO, tried to make out with him, then Jack beat up Daniel for nothing more than showing concern about his woman. I bet there were more embarrassing situations on the base, but having to deal with them afterwords would be tough. Does Sam remember all that happened? The first time she sees Jack what is she thinking? I'd be freaking out, wondeirng what he thought. Would he despise me? Would he think I was crazy for picking him? Would he want to get as far away as possible from me after I went crazy all over him? When she appologizes to Jack she's probably got a million butterflies riding rollercoasters in her stomach, and he reminds her he was infected too, putting her at ease. Then he takes it a step further to joke about it which she doesn't seem to know how to take at first. She sees the joke, and that Jack is moving on and doesn't think more of it. It's showing that they've definatly become more comfortable around each other. It could be around 8 weeks since COTG happened, and now the group is becomming more gelled with each other. One awkward situation down and in the past, many many more to come....
