Ascension

Have I mentioned that Sam sucks at dating? Well, she does.

Maybe it’s just me, but I thought Orlin was a nightmare. He stalked Sam, jeopardized her career, committed credit card fraud, and broke small appliances. Of course, she liked him. Really liked him. Women make no sense to me.

This episode resolved around the big, honkin’ space gun SG-1 found. The pentagon was super excited to fire it. However, that would have made a lot of ascended beings grumpy. Orlin sacrificed his life to destroy the gun and was allowed to ascend back to a higher plane of existence. I’m sure at least one woman up there will file for a restraining order.

I love when Teal’c dresses to go out in public. What do you think would grab your attention more: a man with a small tattoo on his forehead or a black dude who was dressed in flaming cowboy regalia? It’s great to know that the big guy like Star Wars. The best line of the episode had to be his, “I have read of a place where humans do battle in a ring of jello.”

Hey, we also saw Sam’s house and car for the first time. I was a little envious.

My Rating: 7/10

1969

This episode is a cult classic. Yeah, it’s really silly and the time travel aspects didn’t make much sense, but it was a lot of fun. Some might even call it groovy.

There were a bunch of great moments, so I’m sure I’ll miss a few, but here are my favorites:

• During Jack’s interrogation: “I’ll be honest with you, Bob. My name’s not Kirk. It’s Skywalker, Luke Skywalker.”
  
• Michael to Teal’c: “Your thing, that thing, what’s it symbolize? Peace?” “Slavery, to false gods.” “Right on.”
  
• “The war with Canada?”
  
• Teal’c driving!
  
• Daniel’s horrible German accent.
  
• Just about everything Jenny and Michael said. They were really cute.
