sgatazmyI realized Kolya was in this one so I went ahead and rewatched it despite my reservations. I did not watch Irresistible again.
Bestie and I agree it isn't the best episode but it's not nearly as bad as I remember. We think it's better than many mediocre SG1 episodes even. There are some funny parts and while I originally disliked Kolya in the same episode as Lucius, I really liked it this time. While Kolya certainly deserved better, it was nice to see Lucius having to face a real villain and thus consequences for his actions. Ah, if only Kolya had killed him...
Unfortunately, there were still so many parts that make me just feel ick. The guy is a creep through and through. One saving grace is at least none of the team really likes him or thinks what he is doing is okay. If they were somehow okay with him I think that would make the episode much worse.
So let's focus on some of the bright moments:
1. The team stepping in front of McKay to protect him from Kolya.
2. McKay raising his hand while his team steps in front of him as if to side step them and walk into harms way anyway.
3. Kolya! I realize he deserves to be in a more serious episode, but at the same time he adds a nice dark element to everything. He makes it impossible to see the episode as just off, badly thought-out humor.
4. Team in handcuffs and behind bars. It's something I always love to see. But why was McKay cuffed in the front while everyone else was cuffed in the back? (At least at one point. The other time they all were cuffed in the back.)
