YOU GUYS.

This show, it is SO GREAT. I just finished watching Desperate Measures and Wormhole X-Treme and Proving Ground, and I love it so much it HURTS.

1. I love how Desperate Measures is not "Team rescues Sam from really, really stupid people," but "Team helps Sam rescue herself from really, really stupid people." (Look, the really really stupid people should know better or at LEAST be more cautious, but whatever. Sam kicks ass the whole ep, even if she does get captured by two (three?) very questionable "ninjas.")

2. Wormhole X-Treme? It made me laugh on a not great day, and it just has so many fun, meta-y things. I don't think I'd seen this episode since the Sanctuary season.. two(?) ender with the rapid-fire Zap-zap-zap bit that goes on for two years (at LEAST), and when I got to that part of THIS ep, I just laughed and laughed and laughed and had to lean against the wall to keep from sliding into an absurd little puddle of laughing fish.

3. Watching Proving Ground while knowing what's going on is also pretty hilarious, mostly because there are all sorts of nifty tells throughout the whole Foothold Scenario. Also: Daniel on the phone with Jack and making sure he's not supposed to get shot this time is brilliant.

The best thing about rewatching now is playing Stargate Actor Bingo and seeing how very young some of these people were. (I have no concept of time having passed when I rewatch - I think there might be a time dilation field around Cheyenne Mountain). Did you catch Allesandro Juliani at the end of the last episode of Fringe? I saw him in Scorched Earth again not too long ago and was all "Dude! You grew up!" lol.

Hmm... who was he in Scorched Earth? The Ship?

But yes! Actor bingo is so much fun. SO many people guest starred on Stargate, so that makes it worth hours of entertainment. Every time I watch, I spot someone new!
