SGA vs. S.H.I.E.L.D, Duet, Trinity

S.H.I.E.L.D is tonight! I'm so excited. This time I'll be more guarded with my heart. Joss Whedon won't hurt me again. *sniffle*

My housemate and I were debating events in the second half of the season and we realized:
( last season stuff )

My housemate and I are watching both SGA and SG-1 at the same time. We both like SGA more and I think we finally pinpointed why. SG-1 is a close team and the love is strong but each of the members can (at least after season three) be okay on their own if they had to. Jack is broken at the beginning but not so much for the rest of the series. Even Daniel isn't fully broken after having lost his wife. They all needed the team as a home but they could all (and do eventually) survive without that team life.

On SGA, the team bond is so close and the members so messed up that it's hard to see them handling well a life outside of their team (except maybe Teyla). I think we saw some of this in The Return but I don't remember the episode so I'll have to see once I get there. We do know Atlantis gave each of them a home and a better reason for life. (Again, Teyla is an exception to this but she adds so much to the team love that it doesn't affect my joy of the show. If anything, her stability is necessary to keep the team together.)


I finally watched Duet. ( Read more... )

After Duet, I watched Trinity skipping over Condemned until next time. Why? I couldn't wait to see Trinity again.

I have been trying to find tags that take more of this angle but I haven't found too many that are written well. I don't like my tags to the episode either. If only I didn't already have three stories in the works.

Next on my SGA re-watch list: Condemned and Instinct
