SG1 Prediction: the amazing, ascended-being-killing weapon is Plif the Hoojib.

ETA 1: OMG DANIEL I LOVE YOU FOREVER, you know that the Holy Grail isn't a cup! Take that, Mr. Josh Anaphylactic Shock Bernstein.

"Waiting till it's over so that I can get some sleep" is probably not the best state of mind in which to be watching the season finales. Unfortunately, it's also the state of mind I was in when I watched several of the prerequisites for these storylines, which is contributing to my utter lack of caring-ness.

Well, Cam and Daniel were cute.

ETA 2: There is no way that the SGA thing is on the up-and-up, because if they actually go through with this, they will never be able to ally with *any* Pegasus human culture ever again, and they'll be totally screwed.

The wraith queen is kind of pretty though. I like the way they did her make-up.

Also, they established back in the middle of season one that Wraith can feed on other Wraith. Just thought I'd mention.

I think he mentioned it passing among a list of possibilities, but that somehow didn't stop them from spending the whole episode looking for a cup.

Just because the "Holy Grail" is probably not a cup, doesn't mean that *a* cup doesn't exist somewhere, either The Cup, or just A Cup that a bunch of knights tried to protect, Grail or no. d-:

But that's not the Holy Grail, that's the Cup of Christ! Particularly any Cup that the Crusaders found in Jerusalem, since that was more than a hundred years before the Cup of Christ and the Holy Grail were mashed together by a bunch of silly French poets. So there.

But it's still convenient to *call* it the Holy Grail when you're doing a show meant for mass consumption, especially if you plan to make ten billion Indiana Jones and Monty Python references. So there.

Go ahead and call the *episode* "The Search for the Holy Grail" if you must, but to use that term for a whole hour without even discussing the original Celtic grail stories is sheer misinformation, so *there*. q-: They should have sent Josh to Annuvin, that would have been fun.
