I was spoiled for three things: time travel, Jack, and someone in the Arctic/Antarctic. Not too bad, considering.

I personally thought Colonel Jack was spectacular, even if General Jack made me roll his eyes. And I very much liked the subtle shippiness - easy enough for gen fans to ignore, easy enough for ship fans to embrace.

Qetesh was too awesome for words. I wish we could've had Qetesh for S9-10 instead of Vala.

All in all, this is oodles better than AoT, and a fantastic continuation to the franchise.

::hugs fandom::

why yes, I did just finish watching and typing up my reactions! Why do you ask? ;)

Yes. Not blatantly obvious, but those little moments where your hopelessly romantic side went "Awww, I love my OTP!" They didn't hit you with it across the head, but if you were looking, there were little gems scattered throughout the movie. :)

Aw, it makes me sad that you don't like Vala. I think she's great. Of course, I would also *love* to see more Qetesh. Just, WOW. The more I think about the movie, the more I am blown away by everyone's performances. Everyone from Landry to Daniel just....stunning. (except Jack, sorry RDA)

I think I didn't even realize all the problems I had with AoT until I saw this and just how much better it is.

All in all, a joyous day for fandom. Squee!

My big problem with Vala is marrying the backstory of her behavior in S8-9 with the character we're supposed to accept as a friend and member of SG-1 in S10. I can't forget that she left Hammond and Walter and SG-3 to die, that she forced Daniel to wear bracelets she knew would kill him, that she harrassed him repeatedly (reverse the genders, and it's seriously appalling)... Subsequent sacrifice doesn't erase it.

But I have always had problems with Vala's character, not with CB, and WOW was Qetesh amazing!

And I liked Colonel Jack a lot, so I'm using my Jack icon. ;)
