Sci-Fi Friday

Days late but then again the shows are starting to bore me.
Stargate SG-1:"The Ties That Bind"
Vala is leaves SG-1 and Dr. Jackson sees her off then faints when she goes through the gate. This happened because the bracelets that connected them in the last two episodes are still linking them even though they were removed. Vala returns before she fainted or died and they must return with Teal'C to find the last known owner/expert of the bracelets.
The expert Arlos, that old Ferengi from Deep Space Nine, is also Vala's former lover. In exchange for bracelet knowledge he wants his living mom's necklace stolen by Vala.
Through a series of typically-comical-TV-cliched-pass-it-on moments they find the necklace and Arlos reveals he can do nothing because time will make the connection fade.

Stargate Atlantis: "Duet"
Dr. Coward McKay, the new solo star of this show, is stuck in a Wraith transporter with Lt. Laura Cadman, new red shirt. While getting extracted her mind is trapped in McKays body and worse yet he has a date. This episode of Three's Company has Jack and Chrissy accidentally handcuffed together as he goes out on a date....wait I'm reviewing Stargate Atlantis not a cliched 70's sitcom. I'm sorry I get them confused. Well everything is right at the end and McKay learns his lesson on the treatment of women.
The funniest moment is when Cadmen in Mckays body gives a big old man kiss to Dr. Beckett.

Battlestar Galactica
: "Resistance"
Under martial law Col. Tigh is being a used like a puppet by his wife. Forcing him to be irrational dealing with the other ships leading to death.
Madam President plans her escape and succeeds.
Baltor forces Sharon(assassin-version) to reveal that 8 more Cylons are on board.
On Caprica, Kara and Helo find more humans and plan to leave the planet.
Sharon(assassin-version) is killed Jack Ruby style by a former friend.
Adama wakes up and starts his damage control to the surprise of Nigh's witch of a wife.

Firefly: "Train Job"
The crew is hired to rob a train from a space mafia guy. They accept and rob the high speed train. They soon regret this because it is medicine for a dying town. They decide to return the medicine and fight and run and all the usual cowboy stuff. They do return the cargo safely. One disturbing note is when the captain was trying to settle up with the main bad guy. The bad guy said no deal and threats the good captain so the captain kicks him into the engine, shredding him into confetti and threatens the next baddy with the same.

    So sorry I haven't been commenting lately. As you know, I've been moving my blog over to two separate blogs.

    Anyway, I'm just starting to get into Stargate SG-1. I know the last episode was a little cliche-ish, but I have to say that I enjoyed it. But, I think a lot of it has to do with taking great joy in watching Claudia Black be the anti-Aeryn Sun.

    Stargate: Atlantis...I tried to watch the first episode, but got bored and, so, I still have yet to watch the first however many episodes of season 2.

    Battlestar continues to blow me away. If it weren't for Battlestar, I'd probably have given up on Sci-Fi Friday...oh, that, and the fact that it starts off with Firefly. Firefly rocks and "Train Job" is one great episode!

  2. No problem it's summer, there is money to be made and new blogs to write. I also made a second blog on coins.
