So this rather
bizarre, not especially well made but full of pretty people strangeness
continues
The Nazis, still
bizarrely speaking English, use the professor to translate for them and the
professor does so for he is a jellyfish. They want to make an alliance with the
Goa’uld for their shiny tech so they show Aset a film reel of Nazi Germany
which Aset seems to find impressive and her minion seems to be a bit weird
about a projector
Isn’t Goa’uld
technology rather advanced and their armies rather larger for them to be that
impressed by Nazi Germany?
And why is this
Goa’uld impressed by, basically, shadow puppetry? And was she really impressed
by a machine gun?
Y’know looking at the
main series and this one, I question why the male Goa’uld seemed to wear rather
a lot of clothing up to and including metal gold suites while the female
Goa’uld wear a few scraps of nothing and, for one of these, daisy dukes.
Laughably the wikia
actually says Goa’uld have no concept of gender (despite having queens and
rigid gender roles. So hmmmmm)
Aset also notes that
Nazi Germany takes many slaves which a) makes Aset thinks humans are ready to
be enslaved again and means this show is dancing in dubious dubious territory.
And b) this is what the Nazis can do for her: give her lots and lots of slaves
Because last episode
she was all; for getting allies to fight Ra has turned into getting slaves to
worship her. Her attention span is somewhat limited it seems
The professor also
needs to grow a spine.
In exchange she’s
going to give them the magic rock lots of Goa’uld tech is made out of which can
smash through most things. Because this is pre-energy weapons and the Goa’uld
fight by hitting stuff?
Now to the three
pretty but inept people
Wasif is alive while
James and Catherine argue a lot over how her dive in first and think never gets
people stabbed. This quickly turns into sadness about her dad and then further
sexual tension between James and Catherine and even Wasif is getting tired of
this
Their captors return
and Wasif reveals he can almost understand them because they’re kind of
speaking something not entirely different from Coptic, which his grandma spoke.
He said he would have told them earlier but Catherine is kind of hard to
interrupt. He’s not wrong
Their captors reveal
they are actually prisoners and there’s lots and lots of arguing and shouting
and slapping until someone spots Catherine’s Ra amulet. They assume she’s a
friend of Ra’s and all start bowing and apologising
Followed by having a
big party with lots of food (which no-one recognises, including Wasif who also
gives James a justifiable poke for assuming he will recognise it just because
he’s Egyptian).
They watch a play
about Aset - basically she was one of Ra’s followers and Ra got super pissed at
her, then he forgive her and resurrected her and brought her back to watch
other them all. She also shared healing sticks with them so… I guess better
than your average Goa’uld? And they all worship her because that’s pretty much
standard operating procedure
While Catherine has
belatedly realised that Nazis with magic sticks is probably a bad idea (even if
the mental image of the SS going into battle armed with twigs is faintly
ridiculous) so she needs to stop them! Right now! While high and drunk and in
the middle of the night in a desert!
This would be the
running off without thinking ever thing
James distracts her
from her latest suicidal ages and we return to the sexual tension thing
Yay.
Wasif you’re too good
for these people
And who the hell is the guy on the poster for this anyway? It's not James - this is James
So whose this guy and why's he up there in my banner?
