(BTW, kq, I found a new supplier for my habit. )
I <3 McKay and Mrs. Miller! The first 3 minutes are absolute, pure genius!!! (Although I do wonder how a grad student (or maybe post-doc?) English major could afford that house. And given the many many actual mathematicians and physicists at Caltech, why did they have to invent a fictitious Dr. Graham Peel? Would've been much cooler if they had used a real name. Kip Thorne would've been good.)
And the rest of the episode was almost as good. Kate Hewlett is brilliant. And two Rodneys was so much fun! David Hewlett is pretty brilliant himself.
And the hug scene near the end made me cry. That was just AWESOME.
New, all-time, favorite Stargate episode. It even edged out Window of Opportunity, which I adore.

THAT is a serious allegation!!!!
Window of Oppotunity is number one of my top five! You're talking gibberish! I really did want to see that one though.
Is everyone keeping on on their Stargate news? There's a lot of rumblings on saving SG-1, an SG-1 movie, and starting a third series.

I love the McKay/Carter interaction. Anytime those two get together is a highlight for me.
Gateworld is reporting a go-ahead for TWO SG1 movies (direct to DVD, possibly also aired on SciFi).
***Minor Spoilers for SG1 Movies***
The first one is supposed to wrap up the Ori storyline and the second will involve time travel. They are supposed to be out fall 2007.
I'm not thrilled about the idea of a time travel story. I cringed all the way through Moebius 1&2, I would have hoped the last of SG1 would focus more on the core of the show. Direct to DVD isn't all that great either, but just so long as I get my Stargate, it's fine. What I'm hoping is that the two movies will allow the writers to satisfactorily wrap up the SG1 storyline. If they do that well, I'll be happy.

Me two. Moebius was an extremely weak episode, and I can't see much good coming of a movie based around that idea. This is especially true if they are going to wrap up one of the largest remaining story threads.
Still, at least they aren't doing a movie based on that whole alternate universe thing. That is seriously one of my least favorite parts of the show, and I wish that it had never been introduced. I guess it just kind of cheapens everything to know that no matter what happens, there are going to be numerous alternate universes where they lose anyways, and even if they do lose there would still be plenty that they win in.

Well, I'd love an excuse to see you guys. And I haven't quite mastered the whole getting episodes-from-my-computer-to-a-form-I-can-watch-on-my-TV thing yet.
But I'm not twitching or anything.
And Miro, not only do I disagree with you on McKay/Carter, I loved Moebius. And not just because of the shipper part of me (which survives every time I try to stamp the darn thing out).
Then again, I tend to love time-travel episodes in general. SG and otherwise. Yup, I'm one of those people. Posts: 32919 | Registered: Mar 2003

I really like 1969, Window of Opportunity, and2010/2001. WoO is one of my alltime favorite hours of TV. But Moebius was just painful. I could have handled it in the middle of a season. But as the season finale? Jack's last adventures with SG1? It doesn't do the show justice. More than anything that happened in the 'alternate timeline', what bugged me was the decision-making process to go back in the first place.
Btw, if you like Moebius (or even if you don't), you really should check this. It's the first one listed.

WoO made me laugh harder than any other episode of any other show ever has. O'Neill and the Ketchup and mustard scene has to be one of the most classicly perfect things ever.

I'm on chapter 6. So fun!
Even if the woman says "disorientated" (and she's not even a Brit! so why would she DO that?) and thinks pluralization with an apostrophe is acceptable. >_<

WoO is in fact brilliant. It's funny how they could take such a cliche concept and make it so enjoyable. I also love the ketchup and mustard scene. And the bicycle. And the golf. And the juggling!
Other great episodes: Lost City, The Reckoning, 200, The Pegasus Project. I wasn't such a big fan of Moebius, and I think The Reckoning would have made a better season finale. Oh well.
I also liked Fragile Balance, because the kid they got to play O'Neill did such an incredible job. I'd love to see another episode so we can find out what sort of havoc mini O'Neill's been wreaking.
