TY for the reaction, Lifeboat is one that truly shows Shanks acting ability, it's a total flex. And Frasier absolutely killing it when she throws her weight around. Shanks flexing his acting muscles always makes for a good episode. I cannot wait for this man to finish this season and start stargate atlantis considering season1 takes place the same time as sg1 season 8 He always gets this "perhaps another time" look when he gets cut off, as opposed to Worf who always looked ready to kill someone in those situations. I always get a laugh out of Jack daring Teal'c to say "Daniel Jackson's preliminary electroencephalogram proved anomalous" a second time, and how Teal'c was actually going to say it before Hammond cut in. At least then it would be akin to a tok'ra blending, and they'd be able to benefit from their knowledge and experience without them being trapped in an insane jumble of personalities. You'd figure they could spread those out a little, just double up with some of the other sleepers. The guy is going to be insane in no time. These are her people and she won't stand by while someone steals one of their bodies. Every now and then one goes beyond those roles and shows real passion as Fraiser did here and get involved in a more active way in general events(Dr Bashir from DS9 was like this too). In a lot of scifi the doctor characters are there to solve medical problems, offer predictable ethical stances, and maybe be some sort of emotional support. I think for a lot of people the scene where Fraiser stands up to Martice is the stand out scene of the episode. Shanks really is the most versatile member of the cast, and few episodes show that better than Lifeboat. Clearly they wasted little time implementing it once he returned. This episode was actually devised during S6 specifically for Daniel, but was shelved since he had left the show. I might have been just a fairly interesting premise, but the performances by Shanks and Rothery really elevated it to being a top tier episode. Always one of the more memorable eps in the series and particularly S7. OK, finally got some time off to review Lifeboat. It could be seen as a Daniel-centric episode, but I like that it's written more as a team effort where everybody does their part, including Fraiser who really showed why she's so important to the show.Īnd hats off to the actor who played the father as well for a fantastic performance. Lifeboat was even better than I remembered. Two absolutely stellar episodes, and both about dying civilizations.
