Long-time members of Samanda might recall that over the summer my mother becoming (via Sky's daily double-bills) an SG-1 fan and that her experiences with the show have been a source of amusement (sometimes horrified) for myself.
To add to incidents such as asking "is Jonas a popular character?", or randomly comparing my reading skills to that of Daniel in 'Upgrades' (doesn't sound quite so random until you read about it- she also managed to get a Jonas comparison in there "But he didn't use the device!" "But he could read very fast, right?" *res headdesks at this point*); revealing her leanings towards ship and of course her infamous reaction to 'Heroes' (when she screamed at me to come downstairs and then berated me for not having told her about Janet), I now have her telling me that she's seen an episode with a little girl who's a timebomb (thank goodness for my encyclopedic eppie knowledge
) and that she saw up until when Sam goes down in the lift again, had to do something in the meantime, and came in again for the scene in the park. She'd like to know what happened. She's only gone and missed one of the most important and emotive Sam moments in the history of the show and wants me to sum it up for her 
I didn't even attempt it- she's going to sit down with my DVD instead

I do like the Major Matt Mason part, though. It's funny, but also it tells us quite effectively that she wanted to be an astronaut as a kid.
