I finally watched "Prometheus Unbound"
The beginning was great. Jack and Daniel are still very very married, and the Stargate writers are busy reading slash and letting themselves be inspired.
Jack not wanting to let Daniel go? Such a fanfic cliche. I don't know how many fics I read where other teams try to "borrow" Daniel and Jack gets angry about it.
Well, I guess it's canon now. :-)
Jack: "Why don't you hold your breath, you haven't done that in a while."
*thinks dirty thoughts*
Oh, I guess that wasn't what he meant. *g*
So married.
General Hammond! *squee*
I miss General Hammond. Did I mention that he is in NCIS now? Watch NCIS! Watch NCIS! NOW!
*looks innocent*
So the beginning was great, the rest of the episode...not so much. It wasn't bad, but I really expected more.
This was the Claudia Black episode, and I squeed and bounced and shouted "Aeryn!" like the good little fan that I am. I squeeed and bounced some more when she started talking, since she'd got that great voice, and when there was more squeeing when she called Daniel attractive and offered pain and kissing it better.
I stopped squeeeing when they started to fight.
There was no tension between them . That fight? I have hardly seen a worse fight on TV. Didn't they have time to properly rehearse it? I know that Claudia Black can do better, so I blmae Michael Shanks.
There should have been sexual tension, but if there was, I didn't see it. I wonder if that's because of Farscape, because of Aeryn and John, who had so much sexual tension between that you could basically light a match in the air whenever they were in the same room.
No one will ever get close to that, but there could have been a little bit.
So the Daniel/Aeryn part really disappointed me.
(I know that she isn't Aeryn, but i forgot her name. She was very different from Aeryn. Well, except for the black clothes and the fighting.)
Did anyone else have inappropriate dirty thoughts when she was holding that crystal?
*blushes*
The other part of the story, Gen. Hammond and his crew, was surprisingly good. Not good-good, but entertaining enough, and since I'm easily amused, I laughed about the hiccup and the mouth-to-mouth scene ("Good waking up, sir!".
Note: When traveling in space, bring a sufficient number of space suits.
Other things I noticed:
I like Daniel better with his glasses.
Daniel arm-porn never gest old, and there was plenty in this ep.
Daniel gets more and more like Jack, which just proves how married that are. (Hans Olo? That must have been Jack's idea.)
Daniel would do pretty much anything is it is "the right thing", if it means saving the world, how own or someone else's. She tells him that her "people" are in danger, and suddenly he considers helping her?
Hey, what about turning around to get the rest of cour crew first, you know, the ones that are currently stuck on a broken Goa'uld ship?
Okay, so he couldn't turn the Prometheus around, but still.
The whole "saving the world thing" at any cost makes the "Aliens made them do it" first time cliche rather plausible.
I'm just saying.
In conclusion, the ep seemed rather unimaginative, as if they had run out of ideas and jokes, and didn't have time or patience to think things through. It's the small things that matter, and they were lacking in "Prometheus Unbound".
One of the worst season 8 episodes so far. IMHO.
