SG-1: Urgo

[superbadgirl]

Isn't this an episode you either love or hate? I actually quite enjoy it myself, but I'll be darned if I have much to say about it.

The concept is actually way creepier than the (subjectively) humorous tenor of the episode gives creedence to. The idea of something implanted in SG1's brains is disconcerting, even if that something is as annoying as Urgo. Terrific casting on that - Dom DeLuise might just be insane.

It's all a lot of fluff and nonsense, starting from the very beginning colloquism contest. Some funny scenes:

The coffee-drinking thing is great, if only because of the Jack/Daniel synchronized looks. I can't help it, I love when they do that. Hee.

The team shoveling dessert into their mouths is one I'll never tire of. Bad table manners, much? "This is the best pie I've ever had." Hopefully it tasted better than it looked in Daniel's open maw. ;)

"By the way, who is Mary Steenburgen?"

"Woof?" (Damn, Daniel's cute.)

"Row, row, row your boat..."

The looks Jack and Daniel exchange when in Togar's lab - priceless. I love those guys.

The whole team looked delicious enpugh to eat with a spoon, and Teryl and Don did a great job acting befuddled. LOL for them letting Don accidentally calling Teryl by her real name in there. It had to be more chaotic than usual filming this.

Yeah. So I don't have much to say today. I blame the ringing in my ears. Anyone have favorite moments or scenes or tag fics?

I liked Urgo, that's unusual for me for a "comedy" episode, although I do think a season needs a lighter episode most of them fall flat.

The main thing for me in Urgo was that although you could see the actors were having a ball they are always in character having a ball - if you see what I mean...later comedy episodes went down the parody of the character route and I just detest watching ACTORS pointing fingers at fans so WRITERS can get their jollies and their "in" jokes on screen..

So, yeah, I really liked Urgo even though it was a bit annoying at times. :))

Yep, I agree. Mostly, I just love watching Jack and Daniel during these years. I miss them together like this.

And I think Urgo was supposed to be annoying at times. ;)

Urgo is one of those epsidoes that i can watch over and over and it still makes me giggle. All of them singing row,row row your boat cracks me up everytime. I just think is was the best comedey episodes.

Love when Tel'c accuses Urgo fo being a parsite "like the Gou'ld" and Urgo gets all pissy.

Don accidentally calling Teryl LOL - I've seen this epsiodes tons of time and never noticed - must watch again when I get home

I'm fond of the "me, me, me, me, mememememe" scene. LOL.

It's death or me, me or death. You have to choose...well?
We're thinking.

It was much needed fluff, after being destroyed by Thursday night television.

I've always loved Urgo. I love Dom Deluise and the episode had so many silly but fun moments.

The coffee-drinking thing is great, if only because of the Jack/Daniel synchronized looks.

I didn't remember that was from this episode, but I love that scene, too.

I love all the other moments you mentioned, too, especially the singing. RDA's singing was especially awesome, because he was *so* not into it. :-)

[superbadgirl]

LOL - yeah, RDA was chanting more than anything, wasn't he?

I have an MP3 of them singing that song, and I used to listen to it and it would always make me giggle a bit every time I heard it.

[superbadgirl]

OMG, that's awesome. It makes me giggle just thinking about it.
