So instead of being pathetic and running out and buying Ark of Truth (since it hasn't arrived yet in my mailbox), I decided to be pathetic and watch the last few episodes of SG-1 instead.
This isn't long, but since it's season 10...
Talion: I have to confess that I didn't watch this very carefully the first time through. This time, I was like, "Wait...there's a plot here! And *that's* where the bomb ships crop up!" (No one ever said I was *good* at watching episodes). Also: Teal'c is kick-ass. That's really all I have to say. I mean, I LOVED it this time through, but mostly I have to say that Teal'c is kick-ass.
Family Ties: I'm still in love with the first and last scenes of this. I'm also still bitter about Vala's backstory.
Dominion: Morena Baccarin can't act! Or at least, I don't like some of her artistic choices for Adria. I think the explanation part of the episode is amazingly funny. Of course...it's Claudia Black. Someday I'm going to write that woman a very embarrassing letter. Also, can I just say how amazingly glad I am that the writers decided to remember that Ba'al is a Goa'uld and not a businessman? I also like that moment at the end, when Adria's ascending. It's a great oh, crap moment. And there's SO MUCH going on in Vala's head right then.
Unending: Okay, killing the Asgard? Still sucks. A lot. *stomps her 10W feet in anger* However, I LOVE the moment where the Ori beam is racing toward the ship and then just...stops, and on the bridge they just look absolutely sunned. I love that there are still things so awesome they have problems comprehending them. And The Scene between Daniel and Vala still makes me really thinky about both their characters. Okay. This episode is tugging at my heartstrings. Teal'c angst! Sam angst! Sam being a genius! *sighs* I think I'm weird for liking this episode so much. The end of the episode is joy. An angsty, bittersweet joy. But joy nonetheless. *sobs* Oh, TEAM.

I am so glad I'm not the only who was not overly impressed with Morena Baccarin's performance as Adria in Dominion (and some of the other eps, to be honest.) I liked her much better on Firefly. On the other hand, I was so glad they killed off all the Ba'al clones. I hated that storyline.
I think I'm weird for liking this episode so much.
Yay! Someone else to be weird with. Because I loved Unending. Don't get me wrong - killing off the Asgard was all sorts of stupid, and the old makeup was kind of horrible, and it really needed to be more than an hour long. But I still love it, because it had smooshy Sam/Thor moments and angsty Daniel/Vala (that was the first time I actually bought that pairing) and I actually liked Landry. And Teal'c! And Sam! And Teal'c and Sam! And the angsty, sweet ending that makes me tear up every time I watch it.
Love.

And Teal'c! And Sam! And Teal'c and Sam! And the angsty, sweet ending that makes me tear up every time I watch it.
I think Unending, as silly as this is going to sound, is the first episode in which I truly LOVED Teal'c (I know--I waited until the VERY LAST EPISODE to make up my mind. Sheesh.) And since watching bits of season 9 and 10 again, I have a completely different understanding of his character. It's pretty awesome.

the first episode in which I truly LOVED Teal'c
I think anyone who doesn't love Teal'c after that episode is just never going to love him (and I feel sad for them). Because he has to carry the memories of fifty years inside all by himself and he does it so stoically but without pushing away the people he loves and he's just so wise and strong and loving and...awesome.
