Mmmm… cake…
Not until you’ve eaten all your jelly and ice cream.

Janet in Mom mode. Cool
Nyeah, I prefer her in authoritative doctor mode. Is that wrong? Or would it be worse if I preferred her in mom mode?

Dominic kisses Cassie. That sound is Janet getting her gun
Nope. If she shoots him she is obligated as a doctor to heal him (not to mention the whole “First, do no harm” thingie). What would you do if you were part of a top secret government project with the ability to SECRETLY send people to planets hundreds of thousands of light-years away?

JITOC!
Bit late.

Technically, Janet can't be Cassie's doc. She's her Mom.
Yes she can, it’s just frowned upon. Besides, there aren’t that many other doctors who know about the naquadah in Cassie’s blood so she has to be treated at the SGC and whilst she’s there Janet is top dog (but not a bitch).

Why is Janet watching from the observation level? Nothing would keep my Mom from my side if I were that sick
Well, depends how sick and what kind of sick. I mean, if mom was wearing her nice clothes and you were throwing up all over the place…

They move Cass into the observation room because it's shielded from the rest of the base. Which infers that the Infirmary isn't shielded and linked into the rest of the base. Well, that's just stoopid
Why? And didn’t Cheyenne mountain use to be a nuclear test facility? Shouldn’t the whole bloody thing be shielded?

Nice to see Janet in the briefing scenes. "Dammit, I'm gonna be involved!"
They had to frisk her for her pen light first though. They get really annoyed when they’re trying to give a presentation and she’s coming up to them and shining a light in their eyes.

Janet walks in and Cassie's making the chess piece spin in mid-air
"Cassie? What are you doing?" I would have thought that was obvious
That’s thinking like a scientist. Now think like it was mom talking to you when she walks in and you’re doing something you shouldn’t be. You’d stop fairly quickly. Unless you’re actually a teenager.

Janet in Concerned Mom mode. Cool
Really. Hmmm, methinks you’re not too objective on the whole Janet-to-cool ratio factor thing. Tell me, what mode of Janet is not cool?

Why does Janet have the light board above her desk? It'll make it hard to see anything minute on the x-rays
Well then she just stands up… ah I see your point.

Speaking of x-rays, there are negatives of a head, chest, pelvis and (what looks to be be) a hip. To whom to they belong?
Janet looks at them and gets the idea about bone fragments… straws… clutching…
Ah. Plot device

Yes. <I have nothing to write here so I’m just going to hum a little tune to myself for a bit, feel free to join in. Mmmm mmm mm mmm m m mmm>

I have an aside question. After the stuff with the Reetou in season two, they set up TERs by the 'gate to stop any more sneaking onto base. So how did Nirrti get in?
They…Well…batteries were dead.

Daniel's all concerned for Janet. <sigh>
What’s the sigh for? Do you want Janet to be getting off with everyone?

Janet in Emotional Mom mode. Cool
Not so much.

Janet in Gun-Toting Mom mode. Way cool
Much.

Janet: this five-foot-something woman. Holding a gun. That is scarily cool
Little woman, big gun, massive fun.

"You try again." Three words and Teryl puts so much into them. Comment worthy in itself
I can’t remember those three words, sorry. I remember Hammond coming inot the room when she’s holding Nirrti hostage and not doing that much to stop her.

Janet in Relieved Mom mode. Nice
Now, ya see, I’ve had to comment on about four similar statements and I’m just running out of ideas here. I know, I’ll take a bit from all the replies so far:

Nyeah, I prefer her in authoritative not too objective on the whole Janet-to-cool Not so much Much.

There you go, are you happy now?

Cool ep
<Mmmm mm mm mmm mmmmm mmm mmm>
Huh? Wha’? Oh. Yeah. What was the question again?
