I'm sitting here with a shower cap on, my hair coated in henna and carefully coiled (all done with expertise by my mother. Thanks mum!). So I feel rather messy-and-needing-to-be-careful-not-to-flake-on-things, which is a feeling because I say so, dammit! Will be feeling pretty, oh so pretty when I get to wash this stuff out at around 4pm. If it all goes to plan, I shall have subtle red hue to my usually medium dark brown hair. Enough about me, more about TV!
I watched Stargate "Affinity" and whatever Jeremiah ep was on later that night yesterday. I loved the Stargate ep. I've witnessed much wailing from the S/J shippers (That Sam's now engaged to someone that's not Jack) and much wailing from the anti S/J shippers, most of them avid J/D slashers about apparently large amount of said ship. I saw this as about as close as you can get to a team ep without having them all together in a room. I'm sure many will disagree, but that's how I see it -- you can't have them all in the same frame, so you show them caring about each other.
Jack and the Official Guy at the beginning. OG: If you don't take action to [control Teal'c] we will."
Jack: [who'd been sardonic and mocking thru the discussion so far, gets stern] Hey, watch it.
Daniel turning up to T's apartment.
T: Did O'Neill send you?
D: No...yeah.
And Daniel's smile when he shakes the woman's hand? (I can't remember her name, shame on me) Me. Puddle. And the "that thing about not helping people? Every rule has its exception."
Daniel, after listening to Same rant about 'perfect relationships': So, how's things?
I don't like Pete much, but Sam getting engaged to him was just fine by me. Sam's line "What if things had been different?" might be potentially shippy, but Jack's response of "I wouldn't be here" was, to me, "I'd be dead, if it wasn't for Daniel" (Thank you, slashy glasses!) and was totally non-ship.
The Daniel being abducted story line didn't quite work for me. There were nice bits -- his reaction to the bullet thru the coffee cup, and Daniel in handcuffs can never be a bad thing, but as a story arc I'm going need more convincing in later eps. Something that REALLY ticked me off was Pete talking about Top Secret Things in the middle of a busy park. The whole Pete Knowing thing irks me, it so doesn't fit.
Shallow end of the pool: The candle scene, where Teal'c and g/f are about to have sex? Hot, hot hot!
On to Jeremiah. The guy in the cell (Quantro?) was the same actor who Daniel faced-off with in Enemy Mine (season 7), and it was so nice to see him again. I'm quite delighted there is the potential for GPS inserts that go by heartbeat -- there's an original fic in me somewhere about that! -- but the whole idea of the helicopters turning around and going away just because the signal was lost really doesn't make sense to me. Surely you'd want to check it out, just in case?
Aside from that, this ep got to me way more than The Stand or even On The Beach did. I'm not sure why. Mass infectious disease type scenarios always freak me out a little, but this really did. Maybe because it was the first ep we get a 'here's what happened, 15 years ago' and the fact that all these kids are left all alone. This was the first ep we got even a partial list of symptoms -- something which had been bugging me because up until then we had no idea what the Big Death actually did to people. Or rather, how it killed them. It made it too abstract. The shots of the Idiot Guy walking between the bodies, stepping on hair etc was really really creepy. As was the shot when his friend rolls him over and he's dead. Nitpick -- if it was all about skin to skin contact, would one tiny puncture from an earring bolt really be enough to get him infected?
Phew, my fingers ache. Stopping now.

I agree it was non-ship, but because I took it as Sam asking where Jack would be if Charlie hadn't died - simply because Sam was talking about marriage/family a few seconds before.
