    The worrying thing is... if Sally can be convinced, the rest of us have NO hope!

    Thanks on the congrats, people. Ooobs, you're deluded, babe- it's all about the Leos. And Spazzy.... another 6,800?!?! You mean I'm not gobby enough for you as it is?!

    And back on topic.... I was watching the pilot episode today. I think it's the first time I've ever watched it in English! And I was bouncing so much at it. The awe and wonder, and the way that Sam strives to prove herself capable of being every bit as good as the men, if not better. Shame it's all gone to waste, eh?
    Yepp, it's blank down here.

      Cam would never hurt Mckay! That scene just shows that Mckay is a chickens*it.It was funny. Plus he was being a pain in the but.

      Spoiler:
      It wasn't just that one poorly executed scene that I found objectionable, but their whole time together was just this boring stream of one-liners in the midst of what should have been a drama. They trivialized this dangerous mission, and then threw in that absolutely horrible slingshot out of a black hole's gravity well... thing.

      In contrast, Daniel, Vala and Dr. Weir had great comedic timing and weighty, dramatic scenes together. Sam and MacKay were like a bad half-hour sitcom that probably would have benefitted from some canned laughter, while Daniel's scenes were classic Stargate SG-1.

      Just my opinion. I will say that I liked the briefing room scene. It was, IMO, the best of all the Sam/MacKay scenes. Their dynamic seemed more on target.

      A Cherokee elder sitting with his grandchildren told them,
      "In every life there is a terrible fight – a fight between two wolves.
      One is evil: he is fear, anger, envy, greed, arrogance, self-pity,
      resentment, and deceit. The other is good: joy, serenity, humility,
      confidence, generosity, truth, gentleness, and compassion."
      A child asked, "Grandfather, which wolf will win?"
      The elder looked the child in the eye. "The one you feed."

        And you're probably not gonna like it....

        Spoiler:
        I was disappointed with the Sam/Makay parts.
        I was really hoping for something a little more profound from the two show's top scientists. I didn't like Sam's(or anyone else's for that matter) attitude toward Rodney and I think Rodney would have fought back a little - and rightly so. He was made into the whipping boy and Sam was insensitive as Cam was. She looks familiar but I don't know this woman. To retort to a guy who's just called you a dumb, sexy blonde to "go suck a lemon" is one thing(48 Hours); to assault a guy with a potentially deadly weapon is quite another. Sam should have at least told Cam privately that that was a stupid move on his part.

        And speaking of stupid moves, the black hole silliness was just too much for me. Is this the same series that produced Matter of Time?

        In my opinion, Daniel owned this ep. His storyline saved it. Oh, and, Teal'c did, too, the little that we saw of him.

        Bring back Sam, sure. Give her more lines, sure, but not like this! For this Sam fan, PP was gawd-awful.
        Well I didn't think the
        Spoiler:
        lemon thing was so bad, particularly since it wasn't Sam doing it. Maybe I didn't worry about it b/c I was just sooo glad they didn't ship Sam with RM.
        On the other hand, I think you make a really good point about the
        Spoiler:
        black hole situation. It sort of made a black hole no big deal, didn't it? Maybe that's part of why I didn't feel Odyssey was ever in any real danger.

          Grrrr... makes me so mad.

          Spoiler:
          How is it that in MOT Jack had to escort the shaped charge into position because they couldn't remote detonate it a mere few meters away from the gateroom, yet in PP they can beam nukes to a point near the gravity well of the black hole, and remote detonate it with no apparant problem? The answer lies in poor writing, that's how.

          I wish they'd spent the same amount of care and effort on the B story as on the A, that's all.

            AH! You're saying you think Daniel was the A-story? : DEM strokes chin thoughtfully:

              And in the overly convenient technology they seem to have these days. Not sure if this needs spoilers. S9 & 10
              Spoiler:
              That %*#@ beaming technology drives me up the wall. They used to at least have to rely on the Asgard to run it. Now it's getting as bad as the Star Trek get out of trouble free card. And rather than dealing with the fact that Sam and RM had to do tricky equations in any serious way, we got Rodney fasttalk. But then I have a problem with Rodney anyway, so that may color my thinking there. Remember when Sam was a "real" astrophysicist? I'm not saying we should have had 30 minutes of the episode with Sam at the chalkboard doing equations, but it just seemed too easy. Even for her.

                regarding what you said about the sam/mckay ship thinger... YES! thank the heavens the writers didn't go down that road!

                there's one thing i could enjoy about the ep.

                  LOL! Go Majorsal!

                  Jackfan55, I enjoyed the episode, but now that you mention it
                  Spoiler:
                  the black hole should have been a bigger deal. I did like the way their voices were distorted when they spoke to Teal'c, but they could have done more with the black hole itself.

                  All in all, I still really liked the episode.

                    okay, i have a question for the s/j shippers here. i was going to ask on the shipper thread, but there's so many new peeps there that i'm not sure any of them would be able to answer this. but i know there's some older shippers that hang here, so...

                    non s/j shippers, don't bother reading this.

                    Spoiler:
                    isn't there somewhere on gateworld (not the forum) where is says something like, 'sam and jack have come to an understanding and have realized they won't be happy with anyone else'? i'm paraphrasing here, but i could have *sworn* something like this was said.

                    i'm talking about something like this said in the 'characters' section, or maybe in the eps section... someone help me out here, because i can't believe i imagined it!

                    (i'm wondering if something's been 'edited' recently... )

                      Hi everyone

                      There's about 6 hrs to go in the Celeeb Poll and Amanda is still on top

                      However, we need help to return votes to our allies. These are the people that voted for us pretty much all month and they are not getting their votes returned when they need them. We need a minimum of 4 people at any time so if anyone could spare a little time to help our allies when they need it, it would be appreciated.
