“The Serpent’s Lair”: Still brown.
“In the Line of Duty”: Still brown, but looks lighter in some lights.
“Prisoners”: Still brown, but maybe a hint of silver towards the back temple.
The Gamekeeper: Still brown, false alarm.
Need: Lots of bad lighting and greasy hair. Might have some silver at the temples but hard to tell.
Message in a Bottle: Oh those gray temples are shining through now! In general the brown doesn’t seem as dark anymore either.
I KNEW IT
Message in a Bottle is a really good episode, the scenes depicting their attempts to get rid of the artifact and subsequently impaling O’Neill still play really well. RDA plays well O’Neill’s pain and contrasts well with his earlier humour (which I think comes back in the end as the aliens attempt to communicate).
The humour really shines in this ep and is more typical of what the rest of the series will be.
