Everyone (so like the whole ensemble) acting like Vala was being childish and stupid for having boundaries with her father (who seems like a deadbeat at best and emotionally abusive at worst) is an asshole.

Pete, Sam's fiance, totally gets written out of character in one episode to make him look like a buffoon so she can dump him.

Episode that made me rather traumatically bail out of the series in one: Heroes. That ep still makes me metaphorically breathe fire and want to cry. It was a heck of a way for this baby queer to finally admit her crush to herself, thus starting the slow process of coming out, let me tell you. I owe it that, but only that. As far as I'm concerned, that ep never happened. If I ever write SG1 fanfic again, I will be ignoring it good and soundly. Janet deserves so much better.

OMG, yes! That episode is so very well done. It breaks my heart. But I hate that we lose Janet. I love when she shows back up in that alternate realities episode.

[chanter1944]

... One person's well-done is another person's torment, another person's foreshadowing subtle enough to be a mallet to the head when it all clicks in retrospect. I know it's true. :( That ep had enough of an effect on me that it went right past enjoyably heart-rending, spun a U-turn and punched me in the heart instead, and not in the fun way. I know, horribly overinvested, but it essentially forced me to come out to myself, so maybe not?

I couldn't watch Ripple Effect, even for the appearance of an alternate Janet. Maybe especially because of that.

[lunabee34]

I get that.

*hugs*

[chanter1944]

*hugs back* Thanks. I was not at all intending to be that surly disagreeing fan person, by the way. I was so not going for being a jerk here.

[lunabee34]

No worries! I didn't think that at all.

Hugs
