superbadgirlI know I skipped last week, and that was because I really don't care much for this episode, coupled with the severe bout of crankiness.
Ah, was I the only one let down by this episode? Maybe it was all the running around and shooting. I know it was a rescue op, but running around and shooting never enthralled me much.
It took the Tok'ra that long to tell the SGC that SG-1 was okay? I mean, really.
The big bad Hathor (really, she had SUCH potential as a villain, and anyone who can rip a T-shirt without effort is pretty strong) and her symbiote friend very predictably chose Jack as host. Not that it wasn't angsty as hell, but anyone familiar with the rule that the star of the show gets the good stuff (and, well, the bad stuff that's sooooo good) would have figured as soon as the little CGI snake was waved around that it would find Jack tastier than the others. ;)
Not only did she follow those TV rules, but then she managed to get herself offed pretty easily. Incidentally, notice how Jack managed to kill the evil female woman and save the damsel in one fell swoop? After being frozen again. My inner feminist cringes. And THEN he goes out and manages to play Big Damn Hero again.
I did like Teal'c again in this ep - he was one of the few highlights, and Hammond as well (except I can't endorse the yee haw). Ooh, and it's always great to see Bra'tac. I think it was because they, for some reason, gave Daniel nothing to do but sit around looking dazed (and adorable, btw) and Carter also kind of just tagged along...until she started edging toward Super!Sam to me. What, Daniel traipsing around getting shot was okay with his injury, but helping her was too much?
Meh.
