So, this is the second to last episode of the series and it makes me go, wtf? Because it's good. Because it's a perfect blend of campy and original and utterly heartbreaking and gorgeous. The Flan is at his game, Rodney is so deliciously aloof, Tod is the crazy!shit. The filming is beautiful, the soundtrack may be simple and campy but it IS BRILLIANT.
It's an example of all the reasons we started watching in the first place. The silly, the campy, the beautiful, the angst, and the action.
Yeah, let's cancel a good thing, that makes so much sense.
I just don't get their thinking. They have Hewlett (who's McKay-centric episodes continue to be the BIGGEST hit of every season), they have Flanigan who is HOT damnit, they have a great premise and at least some good writers (as evident by this episode if nothing else), and fans, in what alternate reality does that = badness?
To me, this episode is an example of why the series really really really should continue. I can't wrap my head around the stupidity.
Bastards. I feel like they're doing to Stargate what they managed to do to Star Trek and i really always thought they were better than that. I say this as someone who has watched Stargate for the past, what, 12 years? since the pilot originally aired, since i was seven-freaking-years old. I am a die hard fan through and through but this just leaves me sad and tired and resigned.
Vegas officially goes into my vault of "too good, too painful to watch above once a year" along with the Shrine and Meridian and others i can't think of at the moment.
*sigh* that is all.
