This update I should be able to keep. Honestly the only one that could be in trouble is the one for Sunday. My Mondays are just mucho busy. (Of course, Sunday contains Charmed which my readership seems most interested in.) Again, it may be weeks until I know for sure.
Stargate SG-1 had been rather dull, relatively speaking, the last couple of weeks. Last night, it came back with an episode that will have ramifications perhaps through the rest of the season. For the third week in a row, Carter was central to the story. I'm not complaining. In fact, I wish Amanda Tapping's navel ring was Air Force issue...The camera work in the scene where you see her bleeding and the super-soldier tracking a trail of blood that turns out to be another person, not Carter, was awesome. I do have a complaint, though. Carter had a huge gash in her leg and could barely walk at times. Her adrenaline must have been flowing like mad when she easily leaped over a pile of rocks.
Now, I said this episode would have ramifications for awhile. This is due to the alliance between Jaffa, Tok'ra and the humans coming to an end. This actually makes sense. The Jaffa probably do feel that they traded one master for another even though it isn't the case. They've been trained all their lives to follow the orders of "false gods" and probably view the world as such. Doing things for themselves for awhile may do them some good. Bra'tac wasn't in this episode to give his two cents so we'll have to see what happens.
The Tok'ra are right in their worries that this alliance ultimately affects them adversely. The old Dorito motto in the Jay Leno years, "Crunch all you want, we'll make more." doesn't apply to them because they don't reproduce sexually as the other two groups (Well, they did but the mother is dead.) do. They must stop keeping secrets from their allies, however. The old ways may have worked for them, survival-wise, but as Jacob pointed out they've eliminated more Go'auld in the last 7 years because of the alliance then the previous 700 hundred years by themselves. I find it hard to believe the Jacob/Selmac is the only Tok'ra who notices this. Could this lead to a Tok'ra civil war of sorts? That could be cool.
In other news, I was just watching VH-1's Fresh New Music. I only saw two videos that were actually "new." Not only was the Jessica Simpson video not new, it really makes no sense. Ok, technically I'm referring to the song not the video but whatever. To me, if she was walking around "with only a tee-shirt on," I'd be extra helpful and kind too. That ain't love honey...I mean she took the stand that she wasn't going to have sex until she got married and then suddenly Nick proposes. It's not "rocket surgery" here...
Ok, I must shower and start my day...
