SG-1 takes a break from the story

Two episodes since we lost Daniel and still no dramatic rescue. Ah well, at least last Friday's SG-1 featured a good bit of Carter's cleavage, so that's some consolation. The episode also sported a message, though I'm not really sure I got what it was - devastation of civil liberties is bad, so appreciate how good you've got it with the loss of only some civil liberties and your active participation in a massive government cover-up?

Putting aside my uncertainty over the intended message, I enjoyed the episode well enough. It was nice to see Gen. Hammond again, true to form no matter the dimension. Conveniently, Carter was able to test Merlin's shield in a real-world situation, so perhaps they'll be able to use it to protect Earth from the Ori.

Oh, that's right - Carter is traipsing off to another dimension, while back at the ranch Earth is facing its most powerful enemy yet.

At this late date, just a handful of eps from the end of the series, these one-off episodes are a little irritating. This week, though, it looks like SG-1 will be back in the fray, and we'll finally get some word on Daniel's situation.

Bush would love it if he could send dissenters like Carter off to parallel universes, despite their fetching breasticle display. Is it intended to be deeper than that? Maybe if we could reproduce Merlin's device, we could disappear and leave Bush victimless, like the planet from the Ori. I'm sure it has something to do with Bush, everything seems to these days. lol at the sob.
