Sci-fi Friday....
Aug. 7th, 2005 10:25 am.....and Saturday since there is really no way I manage to watch all three on Friday nights...LOL
And the winner this week is......(drum roll please)......Battlestar Galactica.
WOW, what a terrific episode. Now, I don't really compare any of the Gate incarnations to BSG because that is really like comparing Apples to Oranges. I only compare them based on my response to them and BSG won hands down. Now, some thoughts...some of which are thoughtful and others not so much. Snicker.
BSG: I really found myself wanting to punch Tigh. He and his weirdo wife really got on my nerves. Can we shove her out an airlock...PLEASE!! And, when they had that whole Love/Hate/Sex thing going on, I found myself thinking ...ewwwwwwwwwwwwww. Baltar's actions with the Chief were intriguing but who didn't see what was coming with Chief's friend shooting Sharon? And the events on Caprica are heating up again..especially with that hottie in command of those left behind. Yum.
Atlantis: This episode was really enjoyable despite the fact that "different consciousnesses sharing a body" has been done to death in Gate. I guess it is because the writers make this plot device different and intriguing each time. I enjoyed Poor Mckay and ROFL when "she" took over. However. the sessions with the psychiatrist seemed over the top to me. I much preferred his interactions with everyone else, especially Beckett...snicker. Ronon Dex is shaping up to be an interesting character. Double points for looking so good!
SG-1: I was a wee bit disappointed that the Vala of Prometheus Unbound made a reappearance. I know she is a scoundrel but I was hoping for a bit of depth here and there. I am ready for a return to drama as I'd rather have dramatic episodes with some comedy infused such as in Avalon, part two, than a comedic romp. As always, though, I love how Vala absolutely flusters Daniel to no end and it is an enjoyable thing to behold. Mitchell's and Daniel's reactions to Arlos recounting of he and Vala's "relationship" was quite funny and have I mentioned that those outfits Daniel and Mitchell wore should be the new offworld attire. Is it just me or did they look really, really nice in those outfits....hummmmmm...thunk!
