Now, Steve Martin’s Shopgirl was a really good movie to take your date to. I had really high hopes that Steve would be able to pull off the Inspectors role better then Mr. Sellers , but it would seem that, this one got away like most of the suspects did.

It’s not quite on the high comedic plane of ‘Do you have a license for that moon-key?’ But AM-bourg-airs will do. Here’s all you need to know: Clouseau now surfs the Internet under the e-mail handle “Doctor Knockers,” and has to take Viagra before getting comfy in the sack. I admit that I laughed a couple of times. Martin is a funny guy, and even in a mess like this is bound to coax some giggles from the audience.

As Inspector Jacques Clouseau, Steve Martin, even in his best moments, is only one third as funny as Peter Sellers consistently was when playing the same character in the original “Pink Panther” films. That’s not intended to slight Martin. He’s wonderfully talented, and an extremely funny person. The point is that Sellers was Clouseau, and anyone else pales by comparison. That should come as no big surprise for fans of Sellers or devoted followers of the “Pink Panther” films, which were big hits in the sixties and seventies. Sellers, a brilliant comedic actor, made Clouseau one of the most memorable comedic characters in the history of film.

The team desperately attempts to stop two Wraith hive ships from reaching Earth. Sheppard must rely on an old foe to rescue McKay and Ronon.

After their temporary alliance with the Wraith backfires, the Atlantis team must find a way to stop two Wraith hive ships that are headed for Earth. Weir orders Colonel Caldwell to attack the hive ships using the Daedalus and the Orion before she is ordered to return to Earth to account for her team’s failures.

Sheppherd, who was able to survive by latching his F-302 to the hull of a Wraith ship, is forced to rely on a now ostracized Michael to help him save McKay and Ronon, who are being held prisoner by the Wraith. Ronon and McKay are able to free themselves from their cocoon prisons with a plan to sabotage the ship in a last act of heroism.

I’m anxious for the next episode.

The Ori invade the Jaffa planet Chulak, Vala and Daniel must deal with their leader which is Vala’s new born daughter whom is being rapidly aged by the Ori to serve their purposes.

Overall a great beginning to the season. The flashbacks to the actual battle was a good way to tell the story. Vala’s daughter is, of course, going to be the greatest threat, but I suspect in the end her human side will win and her love for her mother will hand us our greatest weapon. For a child the actress nailed her performance. Daniel and Cam are right: the Acension rule book is beginning to become harder and harder to understand and those damned Orii are a bunch of cheats! But will Vala return to her husband or will she fall for Daniel?
