Now I consider the "hitting the button" issue not half as bad as Mitchell's actions in the other two episodes (maybe because he was still the "new guy" ). Interestingly enough, Prototype was the one episode not directed by PDL.
BTW - I liked all three episodes storywise compared to others this season, so it's not that I don't like what the writer comes up with. Considering that, it might very well be that PDL directs differently than intended or invisioned by the writer. But then again, don't the writers usually watch what has been shot and still have some input? Like when JM objected to the hand-holding scene with Sam and Mitchell?

Originally posted by Skydiverit's very possible.
humor is incredibly subjective and PdL is a scream on stage at a con.
i do sometimes question his judgement when it comes to directing. They seem to lack someone that has the ability to rein him in and force him to play like a big boy
someone has pointed out that in 2 of the 3 eps she considers bad for cam, prototype, strong hold and OtG, PdL has directed 2 of the 3 and all 3 were written by the same person
perhaps what we have is a writer that has a distinctly different interpretation of cam and a director that lacks the vision to make cam look 'better' and simply lets him look fun
I don't mind the potty humor in small doses, but an almost entire commentary on being close to the bathroom was the turning point for me.
I saw the post about the 2 out of 3 after I'd written mine. I find that an interesting observation.
I really want to like Wam, I wouldn't mind a good ol southern boy, but I need him to be a little less eratic. Someone on the team, Carter, needs to tell him to straighten up and fly right!

Hi all!
Found another Carterfic
Honor's Solution by SGCbearcub
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2686931/1/
Well-written. It's an SG-1 Carterfic - with Kick-A$$, Competent Carter
(and no ship at all in this one)
A few of my favorite lines:
She grinned as she considered the Asgard would probably be impressed.
She was about to do something phenomenally stupid.
Major Carter could be as gung-ho as the next guy.
It would have been nice to be able to use the time to think. There was still that little quirk in the Naquadah reactor she wanted to look at. Unfortunately, she had learned a long time ago that when she did that sort of thing in the field, she tended to walk into things.
Teal'c: I believe they have tried Major Carter's patience.
----------
A note about the previous fic that I recommended earlier: (The Divide Series) I forgot to caution folks that there are some typos that you have to wade through - like 'hence men' instead of 'hench men', and 'captor' where it should have read 'captive', etc., but the overall plot is fun and it shows a strength to Sam that I find fun to read. I've also realized that there was an S/J kiss... of sorts... but it was anything but mushy... and it really fit nicely into the AU Carter character created by the author. At any rate, Honor's Solution, doesn't have anything remotely romantic in it... it's straight 'Carter gen' fic.

sg1 season one had me at hello. sg1 season 9 lost me from the beginning. the show should have kept the 'big three' and *that* type of show intact.
