I was being more tongue in cheek anyway like "grrr...cliffhanger, so many seconds I have to wait!" because...whole series is done so there is no actual waiting time and hence no true anger. Though, I really was planning to call it a night. Not that I couldn't wait until tomorrow....I just dun wanna. Got the episode all ready to go and everything. Huzzah instant gratification!
S2 Episode 1: The Serpent's Lair
Previously...on SG-1
Sam: Teal'c, I'm pregnant and...Schrodinger is the father.
Schrodinger: Meow
Jack: Alright Apophis, you got me. But maybe you didn't count on THIS
*Jack pulls out a bomb made out of peanut butter, a transmitter, duct tape, and a bomb*
Thor: I just asked her if she wanted to see my hammer, your honor. It is very big and powerful.
Walter: Chevron seven, locked.
The story continues...
Jack: This is turning out to be a bad day.
Spoken right before getting taken out by a shock grenade. I remember a funny moment a bajillion episodes from now involving them, Bra'tac and O'Neill, or maybe it was Mitchell.
Good to see SGC being the nerve center of this whole shebang. Though lulz at the higher ups not mobilizing everything under the pretense of not wanting to alert the goa'uld.
Oooh...a prototype weapon. This will certainly work. Yup.
Is that Bra'tac in that suit? Sounds a little like him...
Escape should be easy enough too once they blow things up good...as there is a stargate on the thing. Can just dial anywhere, even Earth perhaps.
It is Bra'tac, I expect nothing less than awesomeness.
I like how the guards outside the room should clearly have been able to hear Bra'tac boast his intentions to defy Apophis.
Ahaha...Bra'tac's plan was to buy time with Skaara's revival so the ships of Earth could attack...yeeeeah....yeah.
Bra'tac: Perhaps if the warships of your world attack we will be able...
Sam: (interrupting) Eh, excuse me... did you say 'the ships of our world'?
Bra'tac: Surely you have such vessels?
Daniel: Well, we have a number of...of...
Daniel and Jack: Shuttles.
Bra'tac: These... 'shuttles'... they are a formidable craft?
Jack: Oh yeah... yeah... bad day...
Back on Earth, Alpha site gets set into motion.
Ah, the guards are working with Bra'tec...thank you writers.
Missiles get fired aaaaaaannd...shields.
Meanwhile, on the ship, Two guards shoot a bajillion zat bursts almost continuously with no luck...wow.
Damnit Daniel, you are supposed to dodge those blasts...that kid might as well live in a sarcophagus. (probably will gate out afterwards too)
Ah, here is the moment I was thinking of with the grenades...that...came much sooner than I expected.
O'NEILL: I think what the Captain is asking is, "What now?"
BRA'TAC: Now we die.
O'NEILL: Well, that's a bad plan. Where are the glider bays from here?
SG-1 blow up the ships, Daniel escapes through the gate with a second to spare, and the others are in Death Gliders. Fun times.
Saved by Daniel and everyone meets up in the embarkation room. Presumably because of this action, SGC will remain in operation.
Many part episodes allowing lots of buildup...rarely disappoint and this is no exception. Lovely series of episodes and THIS is the kind of thing stargate does best. And it gets better...
