Redial the Gate and Bane, and Ark of Truth

[fignewton]

Do you know what I love most about Bane? It's the only Teal'c-heavy episode that isn't Jaffa-based. Love Teal'c bodily lifting the punk aside while he tells him how the tattoo was formed! And, of course, Maybourne being pointedly informed that he stinks. :)

holdouttrout will be recapping Bane later tonight over at redial_the_gate. Come and join us for the squee!

And speaking of squee...

I'm not the first one to mention this, but it's well worth repeating. Delighted as I am for the SG-1 fans in America who are excitedly looking forward to getting their copy of Ark of Truth today, please remember that SG-1 is an international fandom. Most other countries have to wait a month or more before Ark of Truth is available. So yes - squee and post reviews and create icons and music vids and fic, by all means.  But put it behind a cut, and post spoiler warnings.

I have selfish reasons to be particularly anxious about this, as I'm privileged to tag for sg1_debrief. That means that I look at a very wide spectrum of LJs in the fandom. The only thing I know about Ark of Truth is that it wraps up the Ori storyline. I've even refrained from watching the promos that came with the boxed set of all ten seasons. But I'm worried that someone is going to spoil me before I get the chance to enjoy it myself.

I hope SG-1 fandom will show its usual class in our corner of LJ and that everyone will remember to use LJ cuts and avoid using spoilerish-icons for their posts.

I think it's one of S9-10's greatest handicaps, actually: there's no real leader on SG-1. I read the transcript to one of the earlier non-Daniel scripts (I forget which) and there was an exchange between Mitchell and Landry where Mitchell openly admits that he knows he's not in charge. On the surface, it was amusing. But when you think about it, it's not funny at all.

That's why Jack was such a marvelous leader. He didn't nec'ly have the skills that Sam or Daniel or Teal'c had, but he led them. And you need that.

And maybe that's why Sam isn't such a good leader - she knows how good she is at doing things herself. How hard must it be to delegate that task to others?

There's nothing wrong with someone being happier as part of a team than in command. But if they were going to make her leader, then let her lead!!!
