Cor-ai

Spoiler:

Jack watched Sam’s face fall as she reported leaving the 302 pilots behind. It was the right decision, but it was another one of those damned distasteful things that had to be done for the sake of the mission and the greater good.

Jack was reminded of a scene so many years ago when Sam stood beside him as he lay his own haunted past bare in defense of Teal’c. She didn’t flinch or shy away from the truth of who he was or what he might have done. She held steady for him and for Teal’c. He was proud to have her by his side then and was strengthened by her loyalty and compassion.

Unfortunately, their years in the stargate program had given Sam more insight into these things than he ever would have wished for her.

She steadied him then. He would brace her up now. It didn’t matter that he was standing in the middle of a full command center as he spoke to her over the communications screen.

The words were simple, but they conveyed all the love and understanding between them.

“I’m sorry, Sam.” Jack said gently, and he saw her troubled face relax.

Getting ready for SarahBahama's review of "The Serpent's Lair" by watching the cliffhanger from Season 1 (and then I'l watch TSL) but I would like to know if anyone ever did the review here last month and I just missed it? If it was done and anybody knows where it is, can you post a link to it?

I think Lt. Colonel John Sheppard did it and it's here.

Not sure I can get my stories done before SaraB posts her review, but I'm going to give it my best shot.

Enigma

Spoiler:

There is often enormous significance placed on one’s first kiss.

The first time Sam kissed a boy she was fourteen years old. His name was Kevin Mercer. Under pressure from her friends Sam had allowed him to take her into a dark corner during a school dance. The kiss was all lips and saliva. It was awkward and kind of icky. Sam couldn’t understand why this was such a preoccupation among her peers. But then, none of them could understand what was so fascinating about quantum mechanics. Their loss.

When Kevin Mercer decided to take things further and tried to reach his hand under Sam’s blouse she decked him.

Her father was furious when he had to pick her up at the principal’s office that night and was informed of her three day suspension. When Sam finally got over her embarrassment and told him the whole story he took those days off from work and they spent the time at home playing board games, eating ice cream and watching movies together. It was one of Sam’s favorite memories.

The first time Sam kissed an alien she was coming up on her first year in the stargate program. His name was Narim. Under pressure from General Hammond Sam had befriended him in order to learn more about his people, the Tollan, and their technology.

He had not been circumspect about his admiration for her. When he presented her with a recorder that allowed her to feel his emotions for her she was moved. They shared an awkward kiss that thankfully was interrupted by Daniel. It was one of Sam’s more interesting memories.

The first time Sam kissed Jack was just after her transfer to Area 51 had come through. The pressure of remaining apart had finally become too great and they knew it was time for their lives to change. Unwilling to let this limited opportunity slip by they hurriedly gathered their closest friends together at Jack’s cabin for their long awaited and much desired union.

Surprisingly the kiss was not the least bit awkward. A little hesitant at first but soon warm and ardent, the intimate touch was one of sweetness and fulfillment. It was the perfect first kiss.

Thanks for the link, Ikorni.

Thanks for the link, Ikorni.

You're most welcome. I simply looked through the pages because I know it done quite recently and the link to the post is found as a number on the top right corner (#1234).

Good review LTCJS. I think I did read it before, but had forgotten.

As to Within the Serpant's Grasp, the intense scenes between Jack and Scarra/Klorel are played very well. You feel the love and hatred these three characters have for each other.

Funny moment despite the great acting - the displacement of Scarra's wig after he is zatted. I laugh every time. Other than that - kudos to the costume department and Alexis Cruz alternates between regal to peasant effortlessly. I luv this episode. Now to watch The Serpant's Lair before SarahBahama posts her review.



EDITED to add: The writers missed that Teal'c is holding a zat and standing behind Klorel as he "mind fingers" Daniel yet he doesn't take the shot which would not be fatal to either of them, but instead yells that O'Neil must take the shot with his lethal handgun. While I loved the drama and acting RDA got to show us, it would've been better if Teal'c were weaponless.

I haven't seen the ep in a while but would a zat have an effect on a Goa'uld, especially one wearing a ribbon device? Could be that Teal'c thought it wouldn't work after the Apophis disaster in The Nox and that a handgun would work, because of the velocity of the bullet etc?

[Ikorni]

That's an interesting question. I can't think of any instances where a Goa'uld (or Tok'ra) was zatted, but then, I probably don't remember those times too well.
