Stargate - end of Season 8

Winding down on Season 8

Threads
- Ah, Threads, the heart-breaker episode. 
- Au revoir, Jacob and Selmac, it's been a real trip.
- Au revoir, Pete.  Hope you get the deposit back on that house.  At least you survived, unlike most of the other boyfriends.
- And then the uncomfortable moments at the cabin with Jack's temporary girlfriend.
- And Daniel's hilarious yet-another-nude-appearance.  Bra'tac's expression killed me.

Moebius part 1
- I need to find a screen-cap of the price list on Jack's boat.  Something was "Free" but I couldn't see it.
- Nerdy Daniel and Nerdy Sam are a hoot, especially the reproductive organs line reappearing.
- Jack was laying the Minnesota/Canada accent on really thick there
- Major Davis!
- General Hammond!!  


Moebius Part 2
- Kawalsky's back (again)
- Retired Jack is back
- How much time does SG-1 spend in various prison cells?  I wonder if anyone's added it up?
- First Prime Teal'c is here!
- As always, Daniel just wades in trying to explain it all in detail.  No dissembling.
- How is Daniel still mentally sound, after all his experience with the Goa'uld brain scrambler?  Does it not have a cumulative effect (like concussions)?
- "I don't really like guns."  "Neither do I.  How do you feel about explosives?"  "Those I like a little better."  (Priceless, coming from former-MacGyver and Sam the ace shooter)
- Oh, rot.  Goa'uld Daniel just got blasted.
- And shot.  A lot.
- Kawalsky dies, again.  He's getting as many death scenes as Daniel.
- Retired O'Neill thinks Nerdy Sam is "hot" but Nerd-Sam is more attracted to Nerd-Daniel.  Or not, so we get the under-fire make-out session.
- The miracle fish - wonder what else is "close enough" in this timeline
- Don't know why, but Teal'c's bright blue shoes always crack me up.

Honestly, this would have been an okay way to end the series.  Free Jaffa, no Ori, and the SGC goes on exploring happily ever after.
