Redial does Avenger 2.0 later today, with a recap by [profile] sjhw_tolerance...

I said I missed liveblogging new SG-1 eps, didn't I? Well, Avenger 2.0 is another episode I have not yet watched, as my reading of the transcript way back when most decidedly put me off. I know there are a lot of people like there who enjoy Felger & Co., but I... am not one of them, as the liveblogging of The Other Guys shows all too well. Still, a commitment is a commitment, right? :) [info]redial_the_gate is still happily chugging along in the seventh season of rewatching, and I've got to my part!

So: Avenger 2.0. I go into this one knowing that an attempt to infect Ba'al's DHD is co-opted and infects the entire Gate network and that Felger still has major hero-worship issues for Jack and Sam. No real review here, just commenting as I go along. Onwards!

Bottom line: even less to like than The Other Guys, and that's saying something. Good thing this was a strong Hammond ep to help offset the Felger horribleness. And hey, new SG-1 is always fun, even if there's only a stray good moment or two in the entire ep!
