OMGStargateWHEE!
Okay, I've been up since 5:45 am and this is feeling like the longest day ever in the history of mankind and I unexpectedly ended up watching Continuum tonight while I was a little whacked out on caffeine and chocolate, so here are my not-very-coherent thoughts.
Yay pretty Stargate peoples!
Okay, showing me Major Davis in the first big tracking shot of the movie and then never showing him EVER AGAIN? You sons of bitches. He's my third favorite secondary character! (Bra'tac and Jacob are 1 and 2, in case you were wondering, which you were probably not.)
I love the time travel/alternate universes. I really do. And I enjoyed this story, with Ba'al being all Mister Smug-Ass McSmarty-Pants (until his girlfriend shanked him) and SG-1 living all separate and angsty. But I'm a little tired of how they have to kill off every. single. character. except the one that dives through the Gate at the very last second. We've seen it, okay? It traumatized me when they all got offed in 2010, but now? Not so much.
I've never really been involved with forum-y Stargate communities because I've never found one that didn't spoil me and piss me off. So, basically, I had no clue what was going to happen in Continuum except that there would be time travel (I didn't even know Jack was going to be in it until I unwrapped the DVD and saw him on the back cover), and when SG-1 first went through the Gate to the Achilles, I was somehow under the impression that they had also gone through to 1939. Yes, the frozen ship should have been a tip-off, but it wasn't. So when Special Ops!Jack showed up, I spent the entire scene going, "What the fuck is happening right now?" I'm so out of practice with Stargate.
Nerdy Daniel! On the book! Aw, I loved Nerdy Daniel and Nerdy Sam.
Daniel called himself. And tried to give himself a little pep talk. Was he drunk?
Also, when they called him after Ba'al showed up. And he answered the phone and told Sam that he had just been thinking about her and Cam while he was all in bed and stuff. Uh HUH. I really need no further proof that the SGC is all orgy, all the time except when they're getting shot at.
So Daniel got to stalk himself and Cam got the cool car and the MILF and Sam... got to shop for cereal? That's just not cool.
I liked the side-by-side shot of Cam and his beardy relative after he shot Ba'al, but I wanted Cam to then disappear in the wispy black smoke from the beginning, because.... wouldn't he have? I mean, how was he around in 1939 long enough to get a picture taken when the timeline was all patched up and that version of Cam didn't exist anymore? It hurts my brain.
Aw. Don S. Davis. Good to see him, indeed.
Apophis! And Camulus! And YU! And... omg is that Ra?!
I think I need to watch it again before I have any more thinky thoughts.

Skip the beginning of the commentary then, because they totally brag about that exact thing! They're so proud of themselves. Heh.

Me too. I didn't even know there was going to be time travel in the episode - I had no expectations. I also couldn't figure out how that Jack knew Cam's name if he didn't exist in that reality, until I remembered Mitchell had radioed - it's just that, at the time he used the radio thingy, I figured nobody could hear him because they didn't have the technology yet.

Snerk. Well, naturally!
That nerdy, surprised picture of Daniel was hilarious, and I loved his reaction to it.

Oh, that's so mean! Though I do like how that shot goes up and down the hallways and kind of swoops in on familiar faces, like it's just another day at the SGC. I was just hoping for more Colin Cunningham. :)
