I put up the sign-up post for Season Two at [livejournal.com profile] redial_the_gate only an hour ago. Nine of the recaps have already been snagged.

If you're interested in recapping for Season Two, you might want to sign up right now. :)

(ETA: at the two hour mark, only eight episodes left: The Serpent's Lair (!), The Gamekeeper, Need (!!), Thor's Chariot, Family, Bane, Holiday, Serpent's Song.)

(ETA2: three hours, and I cannot step away from my computer. It's way too much fun! Every time I blink, someone else volunteers or squees... Only four left now, including, astonishingly enough, The Serpent's Lair and Need - two which I expected to be among the first to be sntached. Family and Holiday are still available, too. And, of course, meta posts are always welcome!)

Speaking as one of the mods, it's been a wonderful first season - and that's due to all the participants, who recapped and metaed and commented and made the whole experience so much fun. This is fandom at its best. Thanks, guys. :)

Wow. I really expected someone from the Jack/Daniel contingent to grab "Need" right away.
Also...HOLIDAY! Gah!
(huh, you know, of those three, Family is the only one I would have expected to last this long)

See, the problem is that Season Two is too good. Practically every single episode is a fan favorite!

::hugs S2::

But yes, I was astonished to see Need and Serpent's Lair and Holiday end up among the last ones. Family doesn't surprise me - not because Teal'c doesn't get loved enough (although more Teal'c love is always good!) but because Jaffa backstory certainly isn't everyone's favorite.

Daniel and ice cream! C'mon, people, that one's still available...

Yep. And "Family" isn't particularly good Jaffa backstory - especially the bit where you hit a kid with a zat and erase all mental conditioning instantly with no lasting consequences. Um.

Holiday! Daniel with ice cream on his nose! Sam at Daniels' bedside (the only time they kiss)! Teal'c trying to shave Jack's head! Jack trying to kel'noreem. Heck, the introduction (I think) OF Kel'noreem!

C'mon, people, don't make me regret taking Gamekeeper!

Oh, the best part of the ep was how seamlessly all the actors fit into each other's characters. Mannerisms, tones of speech - everything. Loved every minute of it, even if Machello did make me cringe when he made Daniel act so utterly dopey. :)

Fred was cute though.

Yeah, I liked him a lot. "Don't hurt him, he's a hero!" And he was right, even if Machello suffered from a lot more than PTSD.
