Yes, mom fixed the internet! Yay!

RE: the current SG-1 episode: why, by Ba'al's balls, aren't they using freaking *Morse code*?

bah bah bah.

On the other hand, m-theory is hot, even if Sam has it completely wrong. I'm sure Rodney would agree with me.

ETA: The SGA episode actually includes less logic than SG1. Bah. If he can design a virus that'll do that, he can design one that'll kill 'em outright and avoid all the sticky moral issues (since we obviously haven't got any qualms about biowarfare and genocide to worry about.)

And why, by the ring-devouring fires of Mount Doom, did they let a Wraith onto Atlantis in the first place? SGA seems to be alternating brilliant episodes with episodes that require every single person to be bloody stupid, and I no longer feel guilty about the fic I'm writing. So there.

ETA 2 ... and now I'm trying to figure out if it's reasonable that the Ancient alphabet is related to the SG Alphabet. (Answer: Heck yes. Clearly descended from the same ancestral forms.)

ETA 3: Ooooh! It's a Six/Baltar 'shipper episode! Now I wish I'd actually been paying enough attention to the show to follow the episode! Oh well. (Because all I care about in nu-BSG is Six/Baltar, and Kara when she gets to play fighter pilot.)

Morse code: no bloody kidding!

And how exactly do you translate from ancient to english via morse code when you can't read ancient? *ponder*

Re: SGA:

I had a brief moment of "Wha?" about the "science," but it kind of got drowned out by "When did my entire show become EVIL?"

. . . it was kind of fun watching Carson's SOUL BURN AWAY, though.

tonight's BSG just broke my brain. Apparently the Six that has the memories of the one who was with Baltar when the bombs started falling on Caprica...

...is hallucinating a Baltar.

Oh dear, I can see a ficlet coming on (I skipped SGA because the premise looked ludicrous):

Sharon wakes up. "Where am I?"
Dr. McKay: "You're onboard Atlantis. You were a Cylon in another universe, but we gave you a drug that stops that."
Sharon: "You gave me a drug from another universe?"
Dr. McKay: "We have sufficiently dense technobabble to allow us to do that."
Sharon: "What's technobabble?"
