from_the_cornerI'm sick and totally grounded and because there's only so much fics I can read in one day, I'm re-watching season 9 of SG-1.
Seems I've finally got some perspective or maybe I just got used to the idea of Jack-not-being-there. I really like Mitchell now. He's stubborn, reckless, but not careless, got enough sense of humor and heart on definitely right side. I also love how he interacts with Daniel. It brings memories of best Jack/Daniel moments, although it's so different. I can see why people started to slash them almost instantly. Me, I still see only (?) friendship there but who knows? Maybe one day I'll read some Daniel/Cameron, too.
Sam, on the other hand, I'm afraid it's one way track. Writers damaged this character so much in last years that there's nothing they can do to make me like her again. And this whole Jack/Sam mess is only half of the problem, maybe even less. It's just the character is so flat and boring. More like freshly sketched idea of a character than someone who was there for 9 years. It looks like writers run of ideas what to do with her and she just IS there, not really contributing anything important.
I don't know how often we gonna see Vala next season but I can only hope a lot. With all her irritating behaviour, she's irresistible and ALIVE. Not some simply good-looking, paper bimbo.
God, MUST.RESIST.SPOILERS. Not sure if I'm strong enough, though.

And now something completely different. Robert Rankin "The Antipope". No matter how many times I read this - it never gets old.
