Jack & Felgers in Avenger 2.0

[SG-1] 7.09: Avenger 2.0

Gif by JumpingPuddles

Previously on SG1... Felger and Coombes fuck up... and save SG1 by accident.

Tiny blonde scientist much be high on valium to work with Felger.

Felger is just... so Extra. *sighs* This is going to be a long episode...

It’s going to Fail... isn’t it.

Is it supposed to glow like that...? Well, if it was meant to knock out all Primary power On Base, then it worked...

“That wasn’t supposed to happen” seems to be Felger’s catchphrase.

Oh dear... Chloe, sweetie, why do you put up with this moron?

His pants are on back to front...

Oh ew, spewing soda everywhere that’s so gross.

Yes Felger, Chloe is judging you.

Yes Felger, Chloe does know what that is like... and she can probably do way better.

Jack is Not Happy. Congrats Felger you fucked up again...

The Gate system it’s updating ahead of schedule??

Felger looks ready to just throw himself off a cliff. I almost feel sorry for him. I feel more sorry for the people stuck offworld though.

Felger’s Mom has the phone number for his Lab?

Yes Felger, Sam needs you to get over this and get on with shit. She doesnt have time for your pity party.

Also, if a man ever pulled with this shit I’d slap him for calling me perfect.

“Sorry to rain on your parade” he says, while being under a torrential downpour and at risk of death by flooding/tidal waves. #SaveDaniel

“It should have worked” is Felger’s second catch phrase. *sighs*

*sighs* Felger, what are you doing?

The way Felger holds a gun annoys me. Im continually amazed he doesn’t accidentally shoot himself in the foot.

Avenger has been tampered with? Are you kidding me..?

Ba’al outsmarted us? 

no, it’s still your fault Felger.

Sam isn’t happy about the comparison to Butch and Sundance.

Are you kidding me... a ship... a ship firing on the Jaffa??

Say what now?

Oh... Teal’c and Jack stole a ship. They “got tired of waiting” ohmygod, Im dying of laughter.

So... is Chloe... nope, this is a dream. Felger has some weird fantasies... oh dear.

You can tell its a fantasy based on Sam’s myseriously lowered neckline.

Seriously Chloe, you can do so much better. Find a man who can focus on his work.

OTHER NOTES:

Felger dismissively notes that his lab assistant Chloe is ‘good with numbers’ and that he was going to get her to do his taxes. The lack of respect is...so charming. Apparently, she’s got the hots for him anyway. Makes sense.

We have to see Felger’s collection of miniature figurines (which must be custom-made, expensive, and technically in violation of his non-disclosure agreement) as well as various other geek-stereotype paraphernalia. How would we know he was a gross sad nerd, otherwise? He also apparently gave his mother the phone number for his top-secret military science office, because FUCK non-disclosure and also security protocols, switchboards picking up incoming calls from civilians, etc. Who cares if it’s both wildly illogical AND illegal?! We NEED his mother to call so that we can show what a gross sad nerd he is!

This episode spends a shocking amount of its run-time on having either Chloe or Carter coddle Felger’s fragile ego. Unsurprisingly, no male characters are called upon to perform this odious task.

This episode is super boring. There’s no action until the last five minutes, but that wouldn’t necessarily be a problem if the rest of the episode were anything other than people talking about things happening off-screen while an incredibly irritating idiot bumbles around onscreen, having bleached teeth and inexplicably being both incompetent, and a quote-unquote ‘brilliant scientist’. It’s a really bad combo. Also, the above note about the coddling. Really bad combo.

Aaaand not only does avatar-for-entitled-white-fanboys Felger get the girl in the end despite treating her like crap the whole time (that’s the dream, isn’t it?), we get to cap off the episode with some wishful-thinking about Chloe and Carter fighting for his affections! So endearing.

Yeah, so maybe if you’re living the gross sad nerd archetype to a T, this episode is a great time for you. If not, you probably get why it’s tedious as Hell when it’s not being plain insufferable. It isn’t TERRIBLE on the representation front (which is to say, it isn’t the least bit good, but it’s not smash-my-television awful either) but it is a lot of little things adding up, in the context of a show which is consistently a-lot-of-little-shitty-representation-things-adding-up, and at some point it’s too much, and it deserves to have its content rating reflect that. When Felger was introduced last season, I said that I go back and forth on whether or not I find that introductory episode irritating as all get-out. This episode is not one that gets better if it catches you in the right mood. It’s always rubbish. I am glad to say, this is it for Jay Felger. I only wish they hadn’t tried to make a repeat visit work in the first place, because damn.

I love in Felgers dream about his assistant and Sam fighting over him, Jack is just as enthralled and hushes him. Lol!
