The title is from the video game Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time. I dont play video games at all, but I overheard this line while my brother was playing and I had a really good laugh.

Anyways, you may have noticed that my blogs are always well organized lists or reviews. I'm a bit of a neat freak. But, I figured I could just wing it this time. So many others do it, why can't I? Mostly I am just bored. Its 10 pm and I have nothing to do and I am not tired. So, here's what's new. Some *spoilers*.

I love V. I really hope it stays good and gets better. I love suspense, conspiracy, mystery type shows. The only one I really like that lasted is Lost. V will never be that good, but I just want it to stick around. There have been several revelations so far that I didnt see coming and I have been really impressed. Although I wasnt at all surprised that Anna was Lisa's mother.

______________________________________________

I have not been so impressed with Stargate Universe, however. Admittedly, last week's episode was great. I did not appreciate what they probably thought was an artsy ending, but there was lots of action, aliens, and even time travel! You cant get much more sci-fi than that. I even appreciated the character moments, because they were finally in the context that we are used to in SG; when a character is faced with death. But I saw the promo for tonight's episode and I am really disappointed that they are going back to the soap opera formula. I am really getting sick of all the scenes of Young and his wife. Their story really isnt as interesting as TPTB seem to think it is. Although I am interested to find out why Telford went to Emily's house at the end of "Earth". Apparently there is also a storyline on the Destiny about trying to get home, again. Sounds the same as "Earth". And just like in "Earth" the more sci-fi storyline will take the backseat, as there were no scenes of it in the promo. But, I am holding out till the end of the season to meet Rhona Mitra's character. I imagine she could save the series for me. Plus, having villians from SG-1 will make it feel more like Stargate. I will probably watch regardless. For seasons, just because its Stargate.

______________________________________________

This week's episode of The Big Bang Theory was one of the funniest yet! And I'm not even a Shelodn/Penny shipper, but I couldnt help but enjoy it. The shippers must have been dying! They are such a great duo. Plus, the boys on their camping trip getting high were great as well. Not something I expected to ever see happen with these characters.

______________________________________________

I am really excited about Michael Crichton's book Pirate Latitudes coming out next week. He is my all time favourite author, but he died last year. :'( But this book was found on his hard drive, so they are releasing it posthumously. One last ride. I will cherish it. He is sooo famous, but if you live under a rock and dont know who he is , he wrote the books which were the basis for the first two Jurassic Park movies, The 13th Warrior, Timeline, Sphere, Twister, The Andromeda Strain, and was the creator of ER. Steven Speilberg is already working on the movie adaptation of Pirate Latitudes. He writes mostly techno-thrillers, which have a very strong basis in fact. He has done some history, with The 13th Warrior and Timeline, but Pirate Latitudes is entirely history and I cant wait.

______________________________________________

The Doctor Who special, The Waters of Mars, was decent. Near the end, while The Doctor was walking away, listening as everyone was dying, I thought he was going to leave, continuing to be the tortured soul we love. But instead he turns around and tells the laws of time, "F*** you!" He saves those that are left, changing history, and acting like a bit of an ass. It is not until one of the ppl he rescued kills themself to maintain the timeline does he snap out of it. "What have I done?" as he spins away in the TARDIS. I didnt really like the ending, but its the setup for his big finale.

Anyways, thanx for reading.

So, here is the second part of my list. For those who might not have seen the first half, my next few blogs will be about things I really love to rekindle my love of blogging. There are some really good shows currently on TV that I, and many others, watch that I could blog about. But they just dont hold a candle to SG-1, Farscape, etc, and I was kind of getting bored talking about them. So, I'm gonna have a bit of fun now. I wont have as many comments, but at least I will enjoy myself.

This list is pretty solid. At least the top 7 or 8 are for sures and I feel confident about their ranking. I couldnt find videos for all of these, and some that I could find were not the best videos. Again, some of these are popular choices, and some are unique. Also again, all thumbnails lovingly borrowed from GateWorld.net.

#10 - 2001

5.10

This is sort of like a sequel to 2010, which took place in the future where Earth had an alliance with a very powerful race called Aschen. At the end of that episode they sent themselves a note in the past, telling themselves never to go to the planet where they met the Aschen. But in the episode 2001 they meet the Aschen through mutual friends, not realizing they are the race they warned themselves to stay away from. But, luckily, Sam was able to triangulate their planet's position in the sky using their gate address, and Daniel discovered a buried city and translated some of their old newspapers; all very suspicious.

I really like this episode because it continues the story from 2010. I like this one a little more because it featured more of Daniel, my favourite characters, and more history, Daniel's specialty.

#9 - The Pegasus Project

10.03

In this episode, SG-1 visits the city of Atlantis, which is in the Pegasus galaxy and is the setting of the spin-off show. They get to interact with the stars of that show. They go there to attempt a project involving the stargates and dialing to other galaxies. While they are there, Daniel does a little research about Merlin's secret weapon in the Ancient's database in the city.

This is an excellent episode because of all the characters coming together. We have seen a lot of Sam and McKay in the past, and they are great as usual. But this is the first we see of Mitchell and Sheppard together, and it was lots of fun. Also, there is a lot of suspense and action in this episode while Sam and McKay conduct their experiments near a blackhole. The ending was excellent as they cause a chain reaction which causes the destruction of an Ori and a Wraith ship, the main enemies from both shows.

#8 - 200

10.06

In this episode, the SGC is approached by an alien they helped integrate into Earth society, who is now a movie producer. He wants to make a movie based on SG-1, and the SGC commander agrees because it would be a great cover in the case that anyone tried to expose them. They discuss several possibilities for the movie, most of which sound strangely familiar.

I love this episode because it is a lot of fun. I didnt enjoy it the first time I watched it because it was too weird and there was no action. But the more I watch it the more I like it. My favourite segments are the one with the marionette puppets and the Star Trek spoof.

#7 - Within the Serpent's Grasp/The Serpent's Lair

1.22-2.01

In the season 1 finale/season 2 premiere 2-parter, SG-1 recently found out about an impending Goa'uld attack on Earth, but the program is being shut down because the government does not believes it is worth the cost, or that the Goa'uld are as dangerous as they are told. SG-1 hijacks the gate room and escapes to Apophis' mothership, in an attempt to save Earth.

There is a great deal of action in this episode. I also enjoyed seeing Skaara again, even if he wasnt yet freed from Klorel. Everyone was great in this episode. Some great Jack, Daniel, and Bra'tac moments. And it was interesting to see SG-1 rescued by a NASA shuttle at the end, since this was before Earth had its own ships.

#6 - Off the Grid

9.16

In Off the Grid, SG-1 hears about some corn that acts like a drug, and they go undercover as traders to investigate. While they are there the planet's gate and dialing device disappear, and the local drug dealers/traders suspect SG-1. They are eventually rescued, but then have to find out who stole the gate along with gates from several other planets whose also disappeared.

This episode is funny because of the ridiculous corn premise, and its also lots of fun because of SG-1's cool leather outfits and their undercover personas, and some crazy action at the end. This is not a popular choice.

#5 - Camelot

9.20

In Camelot, SG-1 goes to Camelot itself to look for Merlin's secret weapon. While they are there, one of Earth's ships discover the Ori's supergate. Sam joins them, while the others stay in Camelot, to help try to disable the supergate before the Ori are able to send ships through. All of Earth's allies gather at the gate, as well as some enemies, to help defend their galaxy.

I really enjoyed seeing Camelot and hearing the story of Arthur and Merlin from a whole new perspective. There is also a sword in a stone, which was pulled out by a girl which was super cool. The main reason this episode is amazing though, is the final battle. It was like nothing ever seen on SG-1 before. It is a losing battle. But it is extremely dramatic and emotional. And all SG-1 fans dreamed of seeing a battle involving all the SG-1 allies. This is an extremely popular choice.

#4 - Evolution

7.11-7.12

In Evolution, SG-1 discovers a new supersoldier. They bring back the body of one and discover it only died because it was genetically engineered with a short life. Otherwise if would not have died because its armor is impenetrable. Daniel goes to South America in attempt to find a legendary artifact which they believe could help them engineer a weapon to fight the supersoldiers. Other members of the SGC go on a mission to capture a soldier alive. After they do, it reveals its home planet to them. They set out on another mission to stop the manufacture of more soldiers. While in South America, Daniel is kidnapped, interrogated, and tortured by rebels who demand to know what his artifact is for.

I really enjoyed this episode because of how much it focused on Daniel, and I was really impressed by how he didnt give in to the rebels. Also, the way that the artifact turned the rebels into zombies was funny. Its was also really exciting when SG-1 went to the supersoldiers' home planet where Anubis made them. I have seen this episode innumerable times, although it is not a popular choice.

#3 - Lost City

7.21-7.22

In Lost City Jack downloads an Ancient repository of knowledge into his head, knowing that it is too much for a human mind and that it will eventually kill him. Jack begins to do and say things that even he doesnt understand. SG-1 follows him all over the galaxy as he follows a trail that will bring them to a weapon that will protect them against a Goa'uld attack.

This is a very popular choice. Arguably the best episode of SG-1 ever. There is incredible mythology, adventure, and action, as well as great character moments, as Jack's comrades believe he will soon die. This features the most exciting space battle in SG-1, as the one in Camelot is more dramatic than exciting.

#2 - Prometheus Unbound

8.12

In Prometheus Unbound, Daniel is finally on his way to Atlantis. Being the world's foremost expert on the Ancients, and the one who finally found the way to the city, it will be his first visit. But on his way there, the ship he is on, the Prometheus, is hijacked by a beautiful woman who beamed everyone off the ship and onto her derelict cargo ship except for Daniel. She attempts to seduce him so he will help her get access to the ship's computer.

Probably half the reason why I love this episode so much is because I am a strong Daniel/Vala shipper. The other half of the reason is because I am in love with Claudia Black. When this episode first aired, I had no idea that Vala would become a main character, and it was just really exciting to see Claudia Black on the show, being a Farscape fan. This is definitely the episode that I find the funniest of all 215. Both Daniel and Vala's behaviour in this episode is just hilarious.

#1 - Divide and Conquer

4.05

In this episode, all SGC personel are tested to see if they were ever capture and brainwashed by the Goa'uld, by determining if there are any gaps in their memory. Jack and Sam's tests comeback positive. The President of the United States is supposed to visit the SGC that same day, to meet with the Tok'ra leader. It is feared that Sam or Jack were programed to kill the president when he arrives. Due to past experience, they know any attempt to prevent them from fulfilling their mission, or attempts to deprogram them results in a self destruct.

Believe it or not, the main reason why I love this episode is not because I am a Jack/Sam shipper. That is my second reason. My first reason is because their situation seemed so hopeless and I really had no idea how they were going to get out of it. I was really surprised and impressed when we discovered that they had misleading test results, due to the fact that they were hiding their feelings for each other. Really the best episode. A very unpopular choice.

I hope you enjoyed this. I did. Next up, my favourite Farscape episodes!

To rekindle my love of blogging my next few blogs will be about things I really love. There are some really good shows currently on TV that I, and many others, watch that I could blog about. But they just dont hold a candle to SG-1, Farscape, etc, and I was kind of getting bored talking about them. So, I'm gonna have a bit of fun now. I wont have as many comments, but at least I will enjoy myself , especially since the tragic passing of peoples10.com (an old fave list making website that has been down for months).

This took a lot of work for me. My top 5 SG-1 epis are set in stone, and I have another 10 in no particular order. So I had to pick 5 more, then rank them. It took some time. There is a good combination of new and old SG-1 (before S6 is usually considered c|assic SG-1), as well as action episodes and more dramatic episodes. Quite a few 2-parters as well. A lot of fan faves, and some of my personally faves that are more unique choices. So, here we go. All thumbnails lovingly borrowed from GateWorld.net's episode guide. Each episode is linked to a youtube video. Any video really. Since there are 215 SG-1 episodes, and some of these are old or obscure, the videos I link to them will be whatever I could find.

#20 - Pretense

3.15

Pretense is about Skaara, Daniel's brother-in-law, and Abydos native, who goes to trial in a Tollan court to reclaim his body against Klorel, the son of Apophis, who was currently inhabiting it.

I enjoy this episode because I like seeing different forms of alien law. Tollan law is actually good, and makes sense more than some alien law, mainly Cardasian, from Star Trek: DS9 which was completely ridiculous and infuriating. I also enjoy seeing Lya again, an old friend from S1. She is a wonderful character and extremely lovely. I also enjoyed the introduction of Zipacna, a Goa'uld who is played by Kevin Durand, who is on my recent crush list.

#19 - Deadman Switch

3.07

In Deadman Switch SG-1 meets a bounty hunter who wants to turn them all over to the Goa'uld. But he decides to get them to help him also take down a rival Goa'uld he was hunting, and he might let them go in exchange.

I really like this episode because the bounty hunter, Aris Boch, is a really interesting character that I would have loved to see again. There was also some great scenes in this episode and some pretty funny stuff, as well as the usual amount of action.

#18 - Continuum

11.02 (2nd Direct-to-DVD movie)

Continuum starts with SG-1 attending the execution of Baal, the last of the Goa'uld system lords. But Vala and Teal'c vanish then the planet begins to fall apart. The rest of the team makes it back to the gate but come through on a stranded old ship in the Arctic. Baal had set a plan in motion to alter the timeline, so that the SGC never existed and Baal is attacking Earth with his First Prime, Teal'c, and his queen, Qetesh (Vala), at his side.

I really enjoyed this movie because there is a lot of great action, one of the best time travel episodes I have ever seen on TV (even if this wasnt made for TV), and also managed to bring back the c|assic SG-1 feel. This was also one of Claudia Black's best performances ever. The only time I have seen her play evil and she did it so amazingly well.

#17 - 2010

4.16

At the time it originally aired, this took place almost 10 years in the future, showing the Earth after it had made an alliance with a very advanced race called Aschen. Eventually, the team, while together for a reunion, realizes that the Aschen are not all that they appear to be. But when almost every aspect of Earth security is run by the Aschen themselves, what do you do?

I love this episode because it is one of the c|assic episodes, of SG-1 overcoming incredible odds. I love the "How are they going to get out of this one?" episodes. But in '2010', they actually couldnt get themselves out of it. Their only option left was to get help from themselves, 10 years in the past.

#16 - Unending

10.20

The series finale. Unending begins with SG-1 answering an invitation from the Asgard, their most powerful allies. The Asgard give them all of their technology and help integrate it into their ship, the Odyssey. But they are attacked by the Ori. Using new technology they just received they freeze time in order to figure out a way to escape. They are trapped on the ship for 60 years before Sam figures out a way to reverse time, leaving only Teal'c still aged, in order to warn them.

I loved this episode because it focuses so much on the relationship between the characters, which I think is very important for a finale. There was also one very popular scene for Daniel/Vala shippers. Of course, after the time reversal, it never happened. :'(

#15 - It's Good to be King

8.13

In It's Good to be King SG-1 visits an old friend and foe, Colonel Maybourne. They go to try to bring him home because there is a new, dangerous system lord in the area. But the locals have named Maybourne king and he doesnt want to leave them.

Jack and Maybourne work wonderfully together and they are always fun. This episode is really funny and I love the way that the people look up to Maybourne. You never would have expected this was possible when you first met Maybourne, but he actually makes a pretty good king. Then again, he probably wouldnt have been a good king when we first met him. He has changed a lot. Also some interesting stuff in here about the ancients.

#14 - Reckoning

8.16-8.17

In this 2-parter, SG-1 hatches an elaborate plan to defeat two enemies in one swoop. The Goa'uld and the Replicators.

We have everyone and everything in this one. Baal, everyone's favourite handsome baddie, Jacob, Bra'tac, Thor, Oma. And everything. Wonderful action, ancient weapon systems, replicators, as well as humor.

#13 - Window of Opportunity

4.06

Window of Opportunity is the most common favourite among fans. In this episode, SG-1 visits a planet to study its unique magnetics and meet another archaeologist who is there studying some ancient ruins. After an unusual turn of events, Jack and Teal'c find themselves back on base, reliving events from that morning. 6 hrs later they jump backwards again, and again, and again. Being the only two who are not scientists on their team, finding a way to fix it proves difficult. At one point, Daniel points out the fact that, if they have been living the same 6 hrs repeatedly, they could do whatever they want without consequences.

This episode is definitely one fo the funniest ever, out of 215. Most would say the funniest, but I would say second funniest. My funniest is coming up in the #2 spot. So many great scenes in this one, including a great shipper moment.

#12 - Fallen/Homecoming

7.01-7.02

In Fallen, the team finds Daniel, who had died a year earlier, living in a village without his memory. They convince him to come back to Earth with them, and, for a time, he works side by side with his replacement, Jonas. In Homecoming, the team, including Daniel and Jonas, must protect Jonas' home planet against Anubis.

This episode had some great lines in it, as well as a lot of action, and a really interesting story involving Anubis and the search for Atlantis.

#11 - Paradise Lost

6.15

In Paradise Lost, Maybourne tricks Jack into taking him off world with promises of discovering alien technology. Instead, Maybourne tries to escape and run away to a legendary alien paradise. Jack and Maybourne get trapped there together, and discover that the alien colony had died out a long time ago. As Maybourne becomes increasingly hostile and paranoid, Jack begins to understand what happened to the locals.

This is another great episode between Jack and Maybourne. One of my favourite SG-1 quotes ever is in this episode.

O'Neill: Put that down.

Maybourne: You wanted to kill me from the start!

O'Neill: Oh screw you Maybourne! I was joking. Look what you did to my leg!

Maybourne: I set the trap for the pig.

O'Neill: With a grenade?!

Probably funnier if you saw it.

Well, that was fun. Untill next time.
