All right.....as soon as I post this, I'm going back to see all of your reactions to tonight's ep. I was out at dinner when the first run occurred, so I just finished watching the second run a few minutes ago. My initial reaction:
Observations:
1. It was great to see
2. I was excited at Teal's mention of Sam's
3. I was glad to hear
After that, it all went downhill for me. Why? I anticipate you have similar reasons:
1. OUR SAM almost
2. Did you notice how the "real" Cam
3. Don't you think we should have seen
4. Were the AU Sams with
5. And then there's this deleted scene (find them off Gateworld's home page, if you haven't already). I know JM says PDL's interpretation was not the one JM had intended to convey.....but it still ticks me off. All I have to say is at least it was one of the AU teams.
Yeah, well, that really doesn't make much difference at this point, does it? I am totally ticked and have lost all faith in the writers and producers. And just one more point: we've all been hoping Brad Wright would come back to SG-1, since we feel he writes the characters better than anyone else. Well, this was the most disturbing ep yet, shipwise.....and Brad helped write it!!!!!
Ok, sorry to be so negative, but those are my initial impressions. Now that I've offered my $2.00 worth (the post is too long for it to be my 2-cents worth) I'm going to go back and read your posts......to see how all of you are feeling about tonight's ep.
Oh, for cryin' out loud!
Observations:
1. It was great to see
Spoiler:
Janet again.
2. I was excited at Teal's mention of Sam's
Spoiler:
honeymoon.
3. I was glad to hear
Spoiler:
Janet ask about General O'Neill.
After that, it all went downhill for me. Why? I anticipate you have similar reasons:
1. OUR SAM almost
Spoiler:
kissed Martouf! More revisionist history? I understand that she regrets killing him and was glad to see him, but.....that doesn't seem like something a woman who is in love with someone else would do.
2. Did you notice how the "real" Cam
Spoiler:
was sitting close to Sam every time there was a conference room scene? And did you also notice how close the two of them stood whenever they were talking? Gee, maybe there is a Sam/Cam ship!
3. Don't you think we should have seen
Spoiler:
Sam talking with Janet before we did?
4. Were the AU Sams with
Spoiler:
Jack or Pete? Hard to tell! They certainly took every chance to make us go "Squee," but then take away the joy with another uncertainty. I think this was intentional. I think it had more to do with messing with our heads than it did with storytelling. And I found it mean-spirited.

Scene 38: Black Mitchell and Black Carter scheme and disappear into the elevator We were watching the dailies of this scene over lunch one day when I saw something that made me choke on my turkey club. In more than one take, Black Mitchell and Black Carter discuss as they head toward the elevator and then, inexplicably, take one another's hand and step inside. As the elevator doors close, they lean in for a kiss ... What the hell? I went down to set and asked Peter DeLuise, the episode's director, what the thinking was behind that scene. He explained that he was just offering up a visual cue to the relationship being hinted at throughout the episode.
Apparently, Peter had assumed that the references to AU Mitchell's dinner at the Hunan House (which didn't make the cut), AU Carter's pregnancy and honeymoon, all pointed to the fact that these two were "an item." An interesting interpretation I'd never thought of -- but not the one intended.
