annundrielFelicia called today to see if I had SG-1 Season 2 on DVD. I don't. (Mom and I are discussing it though.) I told her I'd just finished watching "Hathor" from season 1 and she asked, "Didn't it traumatize you?" At the time I said yes, but thinking about it now, I'm not so sure. I mean, yes it's kind of traumatizing and I feel really horrible for Daniel. That was rape. Ick.
So, traumatizing? Yeah, a bit. But you don't know traumatizing until you watch Farscape. Now *that* show pulls out all of the stops when it comes to what they'll do to (one of) their main character(s). You don't know traumatized until you see Scorpius and the Aurora Chair. You don't know traumatized until you see Crichton's eyeball get pulled out of his head and then put back in. You don't know traumatized until you see the tendril things from Scorpius implant crawl across Crichton's brain. Until you see Grunchlk bite of his own finger and Grayza use her evil boob-sweat. Also? The puppet sex was pretty much something I didn't need to think about, let alone see.
That show is traumatizing. And one of the best damn sci-fi shows out there. Now SG-1 is really really good (and ditto the "one of the best"), but so far the grossest thing it has done is show the Goa'uld wormy things. Honestly? The Wraith freak me out more than the Goa'uld. Also, they don't have a funky apostrophe.
OK, back to work. :)
Although....Is it weird how alike Michael Shanks and Ben Browder look? Neesha, any thoughts on that?
