See.....and I didn't think it was funny. Vaugely amusing in places. Loved the Jack/Daniel snark. Liked Hammond coming in and taking what he wanted right from under Jack's nose. Enjoyed Daniel's talking to himself/the bad guy. Enjoyed Claudia, of course.

(See, and this is where I'm hoping you protect me from the rabid SG1-ers. I admit I haven't thought this through, so there could be holes in my argument, but I don't want to be hurt for not thinking along party lines!)

Hated, hiccup girl and the (IMO) misogynistic slant of Claudia's character: she fought like a man, but she used her sexuality to confuse him. It felt very much like prostitution to me. And frankly, I thought the homophobic fear of mouth to mouth was completely insulting and offensive. And I get that it was supposed to be a throw-away scene, but it stuck in my head, and gave me a very bad taste in my mouth for the show as a whole.

But House? Now that was a thing of beauty.

But my poor little fannish head's gonna explode, cause of the Spider-Man love, which is only getting worse, and the BSG love, which is growing with each episode, and Lost, which isn't a fandom, but is must-see for me cause I enjoy the pretty (people and locations). And adding House? :: points to self :: Gonna die of the fannish.

See, I was going to leave this alone, but apparently I can't. I agree with everything you said here about the Claudia ep. What I objected to initially was something I thought you said, that you later indicated isn't at all what you meant. Also, I'm just pointing out that characterizing defenders of the faith as rabid is sure to engender annoyed feelings at the least.
