He dazzled me and then cracked me up when he had success for a moment and then something else happened and he'd say "that lasted for like what a second?"

I laughed at this, too. And I was so happy that they didn't actually overdid this. What with the writers loving making total clown out of Rodney (too often).

I don't like Sam and the only thing I will say about her appearance on this episode --- she looks like she gained weight. :)

Heh, I noticed this, too - during second half of of SG-1's last season. :D
But then again (and to be fair) - in certain age is a lot harder to keep (or loose) the weight. I know something about this ;-)
