Having Silver Fox be like “we all need to work together to solve this problem we are having!” after having her just masterminded killing off Logan’s biggest love interest like 5 books ago kinda makes everything feel kinda flat? Like none of it mattered at all? Which I really don’t like...

I don't think we talk enough about how Stargate's wraith aka space vampires had one of the most outside the box vampire powers to ever grace TV. Like kudos to whoever said "hey fuck it we're gonna take one of the most one dimensional villain races we've ever made which can very accurately be described as space vampires and just completely blow that idea out of the water with a single scene showing that they have miles more depth than you could ever guess".
I mean come on why am I not seeing more vampire fanfic where the vamp can give life in the same manner that they can take it?! It's such a groundbreaking idea in a trope that short of this the most recent big change of pace was glitter.
That single scene where it looks like Todd just killed John but then he turns around and gives him back more years than he took? Mwah chefs kiss. Possibly the most efficient story telling I've seen.
Anyway I support queer agenda that episode suggested and am eternally devastated that Todd didn't become a Teal'c level character but with extra gay because telepathy.

"He's dangerous, we told you to keep him on a short leash." The general hissed.
Price frowned, crossing his arms. "We do, Ghost has only gotten out of hand once and we dealt with it."
The general shakes his head. "No... You lost the only person that has kept him under control for the last four years... And now he's gone."
Price 's gaze falters, hands clenching to fists.
"John, if you get in his way I can't promise what will happen, but I know the look of a man whose ready to make the world burn."
"I can stop him. I have done it before." Price retorts sharply, unable to think of seeing that kind of chaos and carnage from Simon again.
"You can very well try. But don't let him hurt himself in the process... Or we're all fucked, just like everyone else he's got a target on."

we are STILL working on untangling the huge mess that is Wolverine’s backstory, and I feel like every time they try to do this, they make a tiny little bit more clear, but in order to do that, they make like 100 new complicated things that don’t fit in super well with the rest.
Also how in the world is Logan NOT able to smell Sabertooth in the next room here with his super senses?

So innocently I decided I wanted to start my day off with a little Stargate, as one does. I watched an episode of SG1 and then started SGA only to realize I was watching Common Ground. Well, this doesn't promise to be very relaxing.
I think one of the things I like about SGA over SG1 is I feel like it hits harder. I don't know why exactly. SG1 has plenty of torture and has been known to kill off characters. But there is something about SGA that is more intense, less light, less guaranteed to wrap everything up nicely. The thing I'm unsure about is how much of this sense of intensity comes from knowledge accumulated from rewatching--Elizabeth's death, Carson's death, Sheppard's deepening darkness, Rodney's experiences in the Shrine episode. But, I had watched some of SG1 before SGA and I loved SGA immediately unlike SG1. Even the most intense SG1 episodes don't make me cry like some lighter SGA episodes.
Anyway.
Common Ground. I love it because Sheppard doesn't even once lose his faith that his people will come for him. At the same time, he doesn't sit around twiddling his thumbs. I love that he does both, works for his escape and trusts his friends. I love that after talking about giving up his life in Sateda and then being given two examples of his willingness to die for his friends, we see his trust in them.
I love his final command being not to give in. I love Ronon's anger. I love Elizabeth's pain and strength. There is a shot of Elizabeth from the back staring at the closed Stargate and you can just sense her calling Sheppard back, willing it to open, willing information to form so she can send the team to get him back. It's such a powerful image of a woman in her home waiting for her people to get back, not idle but with a visceral aggression.
I love that we finally get to view the Wraith with a little more nuance. I love it every time Todd chuckles. Giving us a Wraith with a sense of humor was pure brilliance because it connects us to him instantly. It humanized him in a refreshing way. But, really, the golden moment was when Todd treated Sheppard like a brother-in-arms and Sheppard did the same. Talk about me cheering!
I love this episode. It hurts but it also makes me smile and it brings in one of my favorite characters: Todd.
