Stargate-SG1 Moebius Part 2 (Spoilers) - 03/26/05 06:42 AM
What an incredible end to the season.
The continuing nod to the Simpsons was well appreciated by this fan, and did not send me down the spiral of "Is this really MY SG1 team, or another one?"
And the fanfic possibilities. What if Sam/Jack/Teal'c had not been killed during the rebellion - what if the future trio had encountered the past trio?
And the pure genius that DANIEL is leading this rebellion that frees earth from the Goauld, enabling humans to advance to the point technologically where they become instrumental in the destruction of most of the system lords. It's terrific.
Early Daniel to me is like "The Willow" (Buffy's sidekick). Brilliant - but mocked for his wild theories about the pyramids - and then, he becomes this powerful warrior in his on right. Like Willow, he transcends cute and helpless and becomes the most powerful member of the team.
Willow with her immense control of magic - and Daniel with having been a higher being - having had access to the secrets of the universe - he out-gunned them all.
I love the comparison between geeky-daniel and past-daniel, and how he's able to brush off the horror of how his counterpart died - he has to be that way - all those years of fighting the goauld, losing Share, the ascensions, they have given him a very thick skin which it's difficult to penetrate. No wild expressions on his face - just a calm, seemingly serene demeanor. Death? Been there. Done it. Several times.
And he's the leader of the rebellion. His interactions with Sam/Teal'c/Jack in altered-timeline was so different from geek-daniel's interactions with them.
It was really well done.
And of course, the alternate sam/jack stuff - pretty funny and sweet. I did like the ending too - still left with the feeling that S&J have finally made it. 8 years of saving the world, sacrificing their own personal desire to be together in order to conform to Airforce regs, since they know that they are really key to keeping earth safe. And now - well, things have changed. And now - it's really Ok for them to make other changes in order to be together.
Can they do it though? Expectation and having are two entirely different things. "Working" with someone and being involved in a loving relationship are also so different. This isn't lois and clark reporting the stories - these are two warriors frequently facing death and horror together. Can they transcend that? Can they transcend the chain of command that has always been in place.
Can Jack be anything but "Sir" to Carter?
I hope so. Because it seems to me, that if they can't make it work, they are doomed. who else could live up to Carter? Who could live up to Jack (Maybe Daniel or Teal'c, but that's not likely to ever happen).
Anyway - I just wanted to say, Bravo to the people who made this happen. great storytelling.
