Stargate SG-1/Atlantis/Universe

[thehippie]

Hey does anyone here watch the great sci-fi channels show Stargate Sg1. If so what you all expect of the new season and the spin off series stargate atlantis?:ghost:

[Bapman]

STARGATE SG1 is awesome series with which they should STOP messing and finish it off properly
N
NO SPIN OFF !!! :mad:
Rather than leaving it as a classic series like McGUYVEr... it'll leave a *****ty taste in the mouth like TEAM KNIGHT RIDER
After KNIGHT RIDER.

[Blayton]

I love SG-1 i and i agree that a spin-off is a bad idea.

[War Lord]

What spin-off are they doing?

My sci-fi channel only shows to the end of the fifth or sixth season, where O'neil is possessed by a go'ould and they show him flashing a sneaky smile and walking away.

I am patiently waiting for them to show the other seasons.

[DarkHellRider]

I loved the movie and When I heard about them making it a Tv show I tryed to watch it as much as possible but there was always a scheduale conflict

[Blayton]

Every Monday night 7-11 you can watch it or tape it.

Stargate Atlantis. After SG-1 discovers the Ancient Outpost in Antarctica, another Stargate is found which leads to another galaxy....

I think the spinoff will be good. It'll take a a year to feel itself out. But the concept of Stargate allows for so many possibilities.

They'll be running concurrently, starting in July.

I'm excited for the next season of SG-1, although they just killed the major badguy that they've had for the last couple of seasons. If this is to be SG-1's last season, I hope they get someone truely evil to play the villain.

Last season had way too many 'individual' episodes... either about Daniel, Teal'c or Sam (Jack dissapeared for the last 4 or 5 episodes and returned for the finale). The finale dissapointed me, but only because the aerial battle was cut REALLY SHORT... in favor of a redundant scene of Breat'ac killing some spy.

What I really want to see is MORE X302'S. The episodes with the 302's have all been my favorites, especially the one where they bolted one of the Gates to it's underbelly. That was wicked.

I think both shows will work well in concert. Cross overs will work somewhat well when needed.

Season 8 - I wanna see what happened to the asgard, as well as the Tok'ra (who both dissappeared last season (in general)). I also want to see them/us (humans resolve the replicator problem).

[Sava]

Love the show, the spin off should be ok, in the next season Jack and Sam should get together

[Vapor]

Loved the movie, love SG-1 and am looking forward to Atlantis.

I think it's a great group of actors who have all grown well together and really compliment each other... I think Michael Shanks (Daniel) has got a lot of potential. If you watch episodes like the one where he gets Machello's go'ould fighting devices in him and everyone thinks he's crazy or the one where he gets several consciences of a doomed alien race put in him, you can see he's a good actor with potential... atleast IMO.

Also Amanda Tapping (Sam) and the woman who played, I think it was Aneese (sp?), the Tok'ra woman who brought them those wrist band things that enhanced their performances... they're both hot.

[Superfreak]

Atlantis looks like it's going to be Stargate:Voyager....

as in, stranded in a new galaxy

From what ive read about Atlantis i didnt think they were actually stranded there, its just that only a select number of humans have the right genes to use the new technology and they establish a new base at atlantis

[Wyrminarrd]

SG-1 is one of the best sci-fi series to have ever come out.

As for the sequel, all I can say is that there can never be to many sci-fi series and I´m looking forward to watching this. If it sucks then it sucks, but if it is as good or nearly as good as SG-1 then we are all in for a treat.

p.s. Stargate has a lot better set of producers then Star Trek, in other words there is no Berman and Braga to butcher this.

there's a new teaser out (of actual show, rather than just a computer generated gate underwater), and from the dialogue, is sounds like they will be stuck there

Ah right, well i guess we'll just have to wait for more info to be released then

[Superfreak]

go check out the new preview... I did a google search for atlantis, it's at one of the homepages

Vanessa Angel.... mmmmmmm,,, yummy. She was in the Bowling movie with Woody Harrelson and Randy Quaid (nipples anyone)


uh, I just thought I'd bump this up to the top, since the new season of SG1, and the Atlantis premier are only a little under/or over a month away.

NEED NEW TV

[Happenstance]

Cant wait for the new season, may have to download the eps though until it starts airing over here.

Its weird when Stargate 1st started i hated it but it used to play everyday on Sky when i was ill once and i watched them. Ended up loving the show. Need to catch up on the dvd boxsets now, ive got season 5 and 6 to get next

I hated it when it first came out, but as my favored shows kept being cancelled, I'd move on to something new, eventually I re discovered SG-1, which matured substantially after the 3rd or 4th season (the show and the sets they used were just plain cheesy in the first couple of seasons) but the more epic the show has gotten, the cooler it has become

[Superfreak]

1 week until new TV,,, any predictions?

[Dimpled Chad]

Stargate is by far my favorite show on television, although I wish that they would have kept Jonas Quinn around... I miss him alot.

As for predictions, I'd like to see more done with the time that Daniel was ascended and Jack get a promotion, and some more stories involving the Nox. Oh yeah, and I'd like to finally meet the furlings.

[LadyVader]

Stargate was a great series but it had it's flaws. And what's more great about it is that it recognized these flaws. I remember one episode where they made fun of the fact that all the aliens speak english. :D

[MyDogShotJFK]

Yeah - stargate is top-notch. First I was ashamed because I liked it so much (cause I watch a lot of bad canadian sci-fi), but after a while I realized the production value of the show, and now I'm super-hyped about the whole thing.
Concerning the spin-off, I don't have high hopes for it, but it may surprise us all.

During the Space Channels 'Spacey' awards they received some kind of award for something ... anyway ... it was hilarious ... they had the big cheese from the Asgard, Thorn, they had him accepting the award and saying really harsh things about the cast being too 'up-idy' to come and accept the award themselves. Funny as hell ... anyway ... the camera panned down and we saw the cast behind the desk, all in costume and 'Jack' voiceing Thorn and 'Sam' and 'Q'ouk'(sp) moving his body and making him do lude things. It was hilarious. Maybe I'll try to find it online, and upload it so you guys can see it. Really - it was priceless.

[Superfreak]

yeah, they had it on the preview for season 8 the other night, pretty funny.

WEEEEEEE I'm excited now. Only a day until new tV,,, I HATE RERUNS (thank god for Stargate, and their Summer/Winter filming schedual)

[TheCorpulent1]

So, who watched the episode last Friday? I'm more interested in the alien politics stuff and less in the action on SG-1, so seeing as how this episode was mostly action with nary an alien in sight, I was a little disappointed. I did like that they had Teal'c's single-minded determination working against him, though. I missed 10 minutes of the show about 2/3 of the way through, so I was confused about why they sent Daniel in after him, but when I caught those 10 minutes with Carter's comment about Jack's tactical knowledge, it made more sense. Overall, it was ok for what it was worth, but I was pretty bored.

[LadyVader]

Haven't seen Avatar yet... I think I'm gonan get it by tomorow.

Anyway, I really like Atlantis. [Thor voice] It has great potential. [/Thor voice] :) Not to mention that Flannigan is such a hottie. :D

[TheCorpulent1]

I agree. Including the bit about Flannigan. I'm secure in my sexuality. ;)

[Drakon]

I really like the series. I was just watching it tonight, where they get the armbands. I had to laugh out loud when they read the "With Great Power...." line, cause I was just talking about that to my roomie.

And no, I havent had the chance to sit and watch SG-A yet. I do wanna.

[Superfreak]

Atlantis Will be good. But I'll have to wait a while til it gets moving... the premier was good, but now they've settled into the bland monotonous 'filler' episodes needed to introduce all the characters, such as last weeks 'chocolat ambassador' story.

[LadyVader]

I loved Avatar.
Basicaly because I love anything where Michael Shanks gets to wear short sleeve shirts. Did you see those arms??? They remind me of Spike's arms only 23% more manly. :D
We got plenty of pop culture refernces, matrix and doom. O'neil saw matrix!?! LOL I wonder what Daniel's favourite movie is. I can almost picture him busting a gut while watching "The Mummy". Or going into a rant, who knows?
Teal'c was great, and you could feel his despair. Getting killed all those times? Did anybody else start singing "Babe, I got you babe" when Daniel told him "Will do this together?"
I love those two, and next week I'll see more of them since "In order to save Teal'c, Daniel will cross a line"... again. :D

[TheCorpulent1]

Daniel's arms? Did you freakin' see Teal'c's arms?? My god, they're thicker than my legs are. Watching the old episodes during that huge SG-1 block on Monday, I noticed that Teal'c has actually gotten bigger over the course of the series. It's insane. :eek:

And, uh... I'm pretty sure you're the only one who was inspired to sing Sonny and Cher songs during this episode... sorry. :p

Next week's episode looks pretty sweet. I like episodes where they have to deal with alien spillover stuff on Earth. I wonder what explanation they're gonna give for the hatless Teal'c's Apophis mark.

Oh yeah, am I the only one who still finds seeing Teal'c with hair weird?

[Drakon]

No, Hairy Teal'c seems almost as wrong as a bald Vulcan, or a Jedi without a lightsaber.

Im pretty stoked for the next episode, but like I said prior, I dont watch a lot of TV, so I hope I dont miss it due to work or whatnot.

[LadyVader]

I don't mind Teal'C with hair i just wish he would make up his mind about how long he wants it.
FIrst it was real short, last week it was longer (almost a jerry curl I think it's called...) and now it's short again.
just 2 more hours and I'm watching Atlantis... :D

[LadyVader]

Well Childhood's end was interesting, and I even got the shivers when Keras was first explaining the sacrifices. As usual, Mckay was great and his interaction with the kids -> bordering on hilarious, being surpassed only by Ford's line "Do you kids know about chocolate? No!? This is gonna be huge!". Yes, chocolate is indeed a miracle of nature. :)

[Drakon]

And I missed it. Gah. No wonder I dont watch a lot of TV. Im away when all the good stuff is on.

[TheCorpulent1]

All right, Drak, here's what you need. Pay attention now!

Monday-Friday, 6-7 p.m., Sci-Fi Channel.
Wednesday, 10:30-11 p.m., Comedy Central.
Friday, 9-11 p.m., Sci-Fi Channel.
Saturday, 8-9 p.m., Cartoon Network.
Sunday, 11:30-11:45 p.m., Cartoon Network.

And that, my friend, is all you need to live a happy and fulfilling Nielsen life. :)

No problem. I threw in Teen Titans and JLU 'cause everyone should watch them, and Chappelle's Show and Harvey Birdman 'cause they rock. :up:

[Happenstance]

Id love to see an appearance from the Goa'uld in a later season of Atlantis, waiting long enough of course so the show is established but it wud be cool to see Wraith Vs Goa'uld

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, it'd be neat if some Goa'uld got stranded in the Pegasus galaxy and were actually being oppressed by the Wraith for a change.

[Happenstance]

Maybe we'll even get to see a Goa'uld take a Wraith as a host, that mite be interesting

[TheCorpulent1]

Woohoo, new SG-1 and Atlantis tonight! I'm expecting the usuals to post their reactions. LadyVader, Superfreak, that means you! :mad: ;)

[LadyVader]

Oh. I'm a usual.
:)
This might mean somebody *gasp* actually reads my posts.

unfortunately I'm not gonna see it until tuesday or wednsday.

[TheCorpulent1]

I read them and I enjoy them. You and Superfreak are the only people I've had conversations of any decent length with about Stargate. Without you guys, my Stargate fanboy feelings would build up and I'd eventually explode. :(

[LadyVader]

be still my fangirl heart. :)

[TheCorpulent1]

Yes, I'm a charmer ain't I? ;)

How come you're not gonna see them until then?

[LadyVader]

becoz where I live, the local networks only aired the first 4 seasons . I can't sit around and wait for these morons to buy the rest of the show.
I download episodes with dc++. They don't appear until monday and it usually takes about 6 hours to get one.

I know, I know... it's "dishonest", but it's not like I have a choice. :(

[LadyVader]

oops, double post.

[Happenstance]

Its annoying coz ive got to wait for the new series to come on in the UK. Ive managed to see the 1st double eps of both SG1 season 8 and Atlantis and i enjoyed them.

Im watching SG1 at the moment actually, decided to put my boxsets on this week. Up to season 4

[twylight]

Wow!

Here I am at the Stargate Forums and I'll I have to be is here! ^_^

Yay!

Dishonest or not, I'd do the same thing. You gotta do what you gotta do for Stargate. :)

I'm probably gonna start downloading season 6 and 7 episodes. I stopped watching the show for a long time because I didn't have time and my VCR couldn't tape with my new cable service.

[Morg]

Love the movie and the Stargate series and liked Atlantis too

[twylight]

:up: pretty good ep tonight. major spoiler----> Sam is engaged! ^_^ ^_^ ^_^

[thehippie]

damn i missed tonight's episode of both sg1 and atlantis crap

[TheCorpulent1]

I know! Weird. SG-1 and Atlantis were both excellent. Atlantis was a bit better than SG-1, in my opinion, because of the emotional and political stuff. Good to see that whatever's left of the NID (the Trust, apparently) is still causing trouble for the SGC. As far as SG-1 goes, Teal'c's roommate was insanely hot. I can't wait to see her as Lois Lane in Smallville next season. :up:

[LadyVader]

after what I read
I'm happy for Carter. I liked Pete, despite his stalkerish tendencies. I guess we know who will wear the pants in that famliy cause seriously, who can compete with an alien-butt-kicking genius scientist?

[TheCorpulent1]

Pete should just go ahead and join the Air Force. SG-1 needs a fourth if, on some off chance, they ever actually go off-world again. It'd be funny to see Daniel actually more experienced than someone else for a change. :)

I haven't seen Atlantis, I missed the first 3 weeks of it so I'm waiting for the reruns to watch it in order...
Yeah, seeing the NID again was pretty cool and they are as annoying as ever too:o...And thats why the roomate looks so familier! And yeah, she'll do good.

Can I just say that Pete is the cutest guy on that show now, since they've killed off all the cute Tok'ra?

I doubt that that would work. But it would be nice to see Daniel take a little bit of a lead...maybe he'll be less annoying then. :o ;)

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, I was just kidding. Daniel's taken the lead a bit since Jack's usually behind a desk now. Carter still takes the lead in the field, but before it'd be Jack who found himself in sticky situations all the time. Now the Daniel/Teal'c relationship has been the focus of the last two episodes in a row, with Daniel strangely playing the role of the hero.

I think Daniel's the best-looking, actually. Always have. I wish I looked like him. :(

Well...Micheal Shanks has put on a little bit of weight..:o Not that I looked or anything..;)

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, he had a little chubbiness going on when he met with that guy in the park in the last episode. It's funny because in an interview before his return in season 7, he said he was more than happy to do a nude scene because he was in the best shape of his life. I guess the shooting keeps him from working out as much these days.

Meanwhile, Christopher Judge continues to get more and more enormous. His arms are freakin' monstrous now.

Yeah, I noticed it a lot in that park scene. Must be, he really started to buff up a couple of Seasons ago.

I know :eek: those biceps are bigger than my head! :eek:

[LadyVader]

Crysta or Trysta?

The first part of this episode was really good. I loved how Teal'c kicked ass and you could hear "Who's the man?" in the background. Also adorable were Daniel's visit, his speech on human mating rituals, Carter's input, Teal'c's friendship with Crysta, Pete helping out Carter.
Then came the second half which annoyed me.
First of all... NID!?!? ARGH! I always hated the NIDb ecause compared to the Goa'uld and other adversaries, humans seem so... petty and trivial. But I am curious what they're up to. when they teleported I honestly prayed they were aliens or something. That would be so cool! Aliens using Daniel like that... unfortunately it happened before.
Isn't Crysta going to jail or something... she did kill a person. Which reminds me, the most annoying thing about the whole episode even if it was a really shor scene: the picture of the body. Anybody with half a brain could tell that the body was PUT in that position... I mean COME ON!
On a final note: CONGRATULATIONS CARTER!

[TheCorpulent1]

Krista, I believe.

I don't think she'd be going to jail because she could easily claim self-defense. She just didn't know the full measure of what Teal'c had taught her and, when her boyfriend attacked first, she retaliated and underestimated the power of her attack.

I love the NID because, as I said before, I'm a sucker for fictional politics. I hate real-life politics, but politics in any form of fiction usually get me interested. The NID are great BECAUSE they're petty and trivial; they miss the point that the SGC gets so well. They're a great foil, I think.

Daniel's talk with Teal'c was fun.
"O'Neill sent you?"
"Noooo... yes."

I'm glad Carter made her decision already. They could've easily been like every crappy WB teen drama and dragged that subplot out over the whole damn season, but they didn't. Good ol' SG-1 always downplays the romance, which works for me. :)

[LadyVader]

Oh... and Daniel did have a little "bear belly" thing going on in the parc but there must have been something wrong with the shirt cause in the blue one he looked fine!

[Superfreak]

I really liked the episode. Any episode with Te'alc as the center, is always mint.

.... but, I'm bored. I hate this part of SG-1's season. The january to march installment is always much better as far as quality episodes go.

were gonna get another generic Sam Carter episode for sure this season (barf, and boring).

I've decided that my favorite character is Daniel, because my favorite aspect of the show is the ascension plot line, I like all the metaphoric double talk.

I'm looking forward to the episode where Carter and the team find a derelict puddlejumper.

[LadyVader]

Atlantis poisoning the well surprised me, and in a good way.
Who woulda thought that Doctor Beckett would be a dramatic character!? And i really like him. More so then McKay cause that guy gets on my nerves a little.
I think a crush or some form of infatuation is developing in regards to Sheppard. I'm lovin' that guy. "Hi Steve. Bye Steve." And is it me or do McKay and him have real chemistry? More then Daniel and Jack in the first seasons anyway.
The best thing about the episode was the end. I was afraid that Beckett would develop some last minute miracle cure or something.
Great episode, better then Affinity, but let's see Atlantis after 8 seasons and then we'll talk. :)

[TheCorpulent1]

Atlantis' characters are really surprising me. I thought Beckett was a throw-away character who would only be there for background shots and random little scenes, but the last episode really brought a whole new dimension to him. The plot was essentially ripped off of any one of several SG-1 episodes over the years (most notably Jonas' introduction and the moral dilemma of his world), but Beckett's interaction with that doctor woman and Weir's uncertainty in the leadership role worked really well to differentiate it.

[twylight]

Well, tonights shows look good, but I'll have to comment on them on Monday...since Hype will be down..:(

[TheCorpulent1]

I liked 'em. Again, Atlantis beat SG-1 for me. SG-1 was fun and all, but damn it, these people really need to get off Earth again. The last few episodes have all been Earth-centric and, while Earth's fun, I already know a lot about it. I want to see Goa'uld and SG-1 running through forests getting shot at again.

On the other hand, Atlantis continues to interest me more than I thought it would. They just seem to keep getting scewed over where allies are concerned. ;)

SG-1 , true, has to get off earth ASAP, it's getting a little redundant. But, they just killed the biggest villain of the entire series, so going back to interstellar war right away is not worth it. (and besides, all the cool action usually happens with the mid season 2 parter, and with the winter installment of season 8) so be patient.... but any episode with the 302 is mint in my books (I mean come on, they're in the airforce, the 302 should make an apperance once every 3 or 4 episodes)

Atlantis - Dr. Weir is probably the most useless character on the entire show. She does nothing except lecture sheppard. (get that woman to do some sit ups as well, she's portly around the waist). Atlantis is going to take some time to get up and running.... I mentioned this before.... but atleast they have plenty of badguys to fight now


Why do you think the city was safe from the wraith underwater for millions of years? Why do you think that bug that attached itself to sheppard reacted to 'salt water'? I think I know...

[LadyVader]

Just 2 more hours before I get to see Covenant...

[TheCorpulent1]

Bleh, water weaknesses always annoy me. The Wraith are running around worlds rich with water, but no one's figured out a way to construct something akin to a water gun to beat them yet? It stretches credibility a LOT.

The 302 was cool, and the episode was definitely a good one, I just want to see some more off-world stuff. It was cool to see the Alpha Site, though. I don't think I've ever seen it on the show before.

Anyway, who else was excited about the Atlantis preview. Hammond shows up! Sure, it's probably a fake Hammond pulled from the minds of the Atlantis crew and all, but hey, it's always good to see the general. :D

[LadyVader]

The episode started mediocre, and then turned great when Colson revealed the Asgard and then went down hill from that.
I have to wonder, is Carter's phone number written on some bathroom wall somewhere!? Cause both that reporter lady and Colson got it from their "sources". She should be a little more careful.
Daniel - "nice looking young man"
More like intergalactic babe :D... and didn't he look fine in that suit? And I don't really like guys in suits.
My favourite part was how they handled the rumour. Thor - Greetings Earthlings. LOOOOL If he would've said "Take me to your leader" I would've died laughing.
speaking of thor, didn't he sound a little... I don't know weird? ok... weirder then usual. Is Shanks still voicing him? His fast talking is affecting Thor too probably. Seriously Daniel, lay off the caffeine. :)

All in all, a somewhat boring episode but on the bright side I'm interested in this Trust thing.

I loved the Thor thing..:up:
And yeah, his voice is sounding a little different.

My main gripe is that it was another "close call" with the Stargate almost becoming revealed...a little boring, it's been done before and the way they covered wasn't any thing spectacular.

Nice to see the Trust though, the NID is at it again!

And sidenote...Corp..I love your sig! :)

[TheCorpulent1]

And sidenote...Corp..I love your sig! :)Why, thank you. :) It's been the highlight of JLU so far, although last episode's scene of the Red Tornado calling "Soowieeeee" for the Wonder Pig is hot on its heels. :D

I think the best Stargate-almost-revealed stuff was the ongoing subplot of the Russians threatening to reveal it if the SGC didn't allow them to participate in the gate's management.

[3dman27]

what ever happened to the animated stargate infinity?

[TheCorpulent1]

I don't know. I assume it was canceled because, from the couple of episodes I saw, it was really bad.

[LadyVader]

Last week's Atlantis was pretty good, as usual.
Humans are real pricks in this galaxy, aren't they? :) It was nice to finally see the Atlantis crew having some supply problems, as long as they don't discover some Star Trek-type replicators (is that the name?) in the city and solving their problem like *snaps fingers* that. Dr Weir isn't useless, she's the head of the base, like Hammond. she doesn't get to go off world so maybe that's why she seems useless. I liked it when she asked Sheppard "You do realise I sent you for food, right?" Oh and by the way... explosives for blowing up trees? Why don't you spill some oil in their oceans while you're at it!
Sorry... ex-Captain Planet fanatic. I act out sometimes. :D
(Did anyone notice we didn't have any Beckett this episode? Maybe he's out mourning or something. :( )
The McKay-Sheppard banter was superb, and Ford had such an adorable look on his face when he took the swig of moonshine, like a little kid. Teyla is less and less annoying! Yay for her.
60 ships... wow, there must be something wrong with me or my percepetion cause that doesn't seem like such a big deal. :cool: But the insides of the wraith ship definetely looked creepy!

[twylight]

Yep, it has...I still say it around the house sometimes.
hahhaha! That one was great too!

That was the best almost-reveal in the Stargate series.
Now it's just boring.

[Superfreak]

sorry lady vader, so far, she is useless. She has managed to piss off all the ethogians (sp) and they've left the city. All she has done so far is whine and piss people off.... She's the negotiator,,, why can't she comprimise and negotiate? I mean, she's supposedly this super diplomat, who can't seem to be diplomatic. At least Hammond got stuff done in the backround. Hammond was kind of the link b/w the gov, and the program. Weir just sits there. The best way to use her, is to send her offworld to create treaties, or to recieve delegations on atlantis

Corp - we've seen the alpha site a number of times, but it's always been a rickety camp (where the Jaffa and Tok'ra were hiding out, and the invisible hitman was turning them against themselves). But as stated in the episode, it was discovered, so it's cool to see the new alpha site.

[Superfreak]

other stuff:

The first episode of atlantis, the Ancient woman watching atlantis leave earth, appears to be the same woman that SG1 discovered in the ice in season 6. And I'm pretty sure she was talking to apophis during that scene.

I'd like to see Daniel and Oma have a little chat about Anubis, b/c if I were him, I'd be pretty damn angry that the ancients just dump us poor humans with a villain like that.

[TheCorpulent1]

Argh, I've really gotta start watching season 7's episodes. I have no idea what happened with Daniel and the huge Ancients plot, just that Anubis was apparently destroyed ("apparently" because if punks like Apophis can die and return like 4 times, Anubis'll probably be back at some point, too). It doesn't help that the Sci-Fi Channel only shows reruns of seasons 1-5 on weekdays. :mad:

I do remember seeing that base, but I don't think I was aware it was the Alpha site. This new Alpha site looks pretty sweet, though.

Is it even possible for Daniel to talk to Oma anymore?
I mean he was pretty much kicked out of the ranks.

Anubis did survive,,, Carter sent him to 'Hoth', to spend the rest of his existance frozen in some russian's body, that was this season.

Nothing really happened during season 7 IMO, only the premier and finales really touched on the ancients/anubis plot line. The rest of the season was pretty much filler.


On an Atlantis note: Don't you think the Asgard would also be interested in exploring the Lost City? I would expect at least 2 or 3 Asgard would have liked to join the team, and help to explore the city, and to babysit us as we mess around with the advanced technology therein? I think it would be a great addition to the 'cast'... one uber smart Asgard to help them out.

[twylight]

I'm watching Stargate Atlantis tonight.


*and covering the fact that I had a double post:o :(*

[twylight]

Stargate Atlantis.
Well, it's the first season and hopefully, the acting will get better. Teyla was so annoying! And she is rather pointless. Dr. Weir was as boring and straightlaced as ever and at the end, she did a poor job of acting concerned.
Sheppard does an admirable job as the leader and has sort of a Jack O'Neill flare.
And McKay, man! I've always liked him! And in Stargate Atlantis, he's like the only one with a "character".
The Ep itself wasn't that spectacular, I wasn't impressed with the way the characters interacted. Thought that bug...it hurt me to watch it.

Stargate SG-1, The plot was an old premise, but the way they did the "flashbacks" was kind of cool. It was an old plot with a new way to show it.
Also, Daniel is at it again..after the girl.;)
Nice to see O'Neill hasn't lost his edge. Daniels whole "guilt trip thing hasn't changed, and as predictable as ever and I spy with my little eye....Daniel is looking a little "chubby"??

[LadyVader]

Man, Andromeda... uhh, I mean Lexa better put him on a diet. :D

Yeah, I forgot about that episode with the Russian. Anubis'll probably find a way out of that, too.

So now that Anubis is gone, it looks like Baal will be the next big Goa'uld badass. SG-1's gotta stop creating power vacuums when another Goa'uld is poised to easily snatch up other Goa'uld forces. :o

An Asgard on Atlantis would've made lots of sense, especially since the Asgard were allies with the Ancients. I didn't even know that until I saw "The Fifth Race" this week. I guess the Asgards' absence is easily explained by the fact that they're a little preoccupied with rebuilding their entire civilization. The Asgard have a much wider knowledge of the universe than the Goa'uld, though, so maybe they already know about the Pegasus galaxy but just didn't know the Ancient city was there.

well, I just figure that all the SG-1 allies would want a piece of the pie. The Tok'ra should be all over that (although they've been really scarce for a while). But I'd expect the Asgard to be very interested.

I read some rumors that Mackay will be figuring out a way to generate power, and be open a wormhole back to earth in the next few episodes, so that should be interesting. Atlantis and SG-1 are in need of a good solid action episode this season (ie. not a video game). A week long break is usually a good sign.

If you're talking about this week's episode, where the Atlantis crew goes back to Earth and meets up with General Hammond, I'm pretty sure it's gonna be a dream sequence type of thing. It reminds me a lot of one of the many Farscape episodes where Crichton makes it back to Earth but things progressively get weirder and weirder until he ends up thinking he's either gotta be crazy or this is all some evil scheme. Either way, it looks interesting.

[Superfreak]

The thing that is on my mind is how they are going to end SG-1, because this is probably it's last season with Atlantis taking over. I'm thinking SG-1 might need one more season to make Baal scary, then have a grand finale

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, I've been thinking that the end is near for SG-1, too. You don't promote the star of the show and have him missing from half the episodes unless the show's on it's last legs. Wasn't Atlantis originally intended to replace it?

Baal would make a pretty good final villain. Baal and Anubis together would be cool, too.

[TheCorpulent1]

Sweet.

SG-1: Good. Much better than the previous episodes, since they actually used the Stargate this time. It was cool to see Bratac, Ishta, and Teal'c's kid again. The beginning was my favorite part, with the Daniel/Jack dialogue and Teal'c's reaction to finding out about Ryac. :D

Atlantis: It was all right, but kind of boring and predictable. Tayla's really boring on a consistent basis... she's basically the Teal'c of Atlantis, but she's nowhere near as interesting. I still kind of like her though, and Teal'c started out pretty boring too. I'll just wait and see. McKay really stole this episode for me. He was great, both in the Pegasus Galaxy and on Earth. "The brunette! Of course!" :D

[Superfreak]

Corp, Teala is an interesting character, the thing about her, is that there hasn't really been an episode explaining who she is exactly. The doctor, Mckay, have had their own episodes. Weir and Sheppard (the show is essentially about them)... and who really wants to know about rainbow?
It'll take time. Sooner or later, we'll get into Teala, and she'll be an entertaining character.

Teal'c - They've turned him into a pussy magnet this season.





Just on a little sidenote, that pissed me off a little. SCi fi cancels Farscape... and then the 9th episode of Atlantis is a rip off straight from a farscape episode. The one where John Crichton first encounters the wormhole alien guys, and he ends up being 'sent' home too... exactly the same story. By the end of the episode, John ends up walking around with a gun, killing people because he knows that things aren't real.... GO FIGURE

[twylight]

SG-1: Pretty typical, I'm tired of seeing Teal'c being set up with women.
Nice to see the Stargate in use again. All in all it was a pretty typical SG-1. Nice to see Rya'c married though.^_^

Atlantis: By far the most interesting one I've seen yet. And I wasn't even going to watch it because the other Epsisodes didn't intrigue me. Now I'll hang on for a few more weeks.
I love McKay...I love him so much! He was great in SG-1 and now he's great in Atlantis. Also, he's one of the few characters that seems to mesh with the whole group. Sheppard is awesome too, you can sort of see his character emerging.

Between Sheppard shooting his buddy with that same squirrely, crazy look in his eye that Crichton gets whenever he's caught up in something weird and McKay yelling "All of this is a lie!" you could see it coming a mile away. Still, it was an ok episode.

Like I said, Tayla bores me now, but Teal'c was kind of boring in the first season. It wasn't until they started revealing more about his background, with the Bratac/crises of faith stuff and then began the free Jaffa movement that he really started to interest me. I like when characters have good subplots swirling around them, and right now all Tayla has is the fact that her people have moved to the mainland, and that's barely touched on.

it's funny, I don't think the actress playing Tayla even knows... I remember watching the preview for Atlantis first season... and they just kept repeating that line 'Tayla is a leader among her people'. I do get your point,,, whoopedy dooo!!!! she's a leader among her people, WHY?

you're right, Teal'c was kind of dumb until SG1 returned to Chulak to stop Ryaks implantation... that was a great episode... infact, I find that all the Teal'c/Jaffa based episodes always end up being great.

I'd also like to see 'duplicate O'neill' again, that has so many options, especially that O'Neill is trapped on earth as a general

[LadyVader]

Just got around to seeing last week's episodes.
Stargate was just boring. Jaffa episodes are usually boring, to me...
De gustibus non est disputandum, ok?

Atlantis on the other hand was interesting although confusing at times. McKay's ego is increasing by the episode. I thought he was positively reckless this time.
Teyla was weird at times when she was with Sheppard in his fantasy, for a momen I thought she was part of it too. Which reminds me... Sheppard... excuse me, Shep's friends. They just HAD to be the result of some alien's imagination.
I really resent the fact that Ford had only about 20 seconds of fantasy, I wanted to see his damn family, instead I got stuck with Sheppard's dead buddies. :)

[Superfreak]

... that's because Ford was too dumb to figure out what was happening.... so there would be nothing to watch (as far as escaping their alternate realities)

[LadyVader]

There are no dumb characters, only dumb writers. :)
j/k
seriously, I wish they would do more with Ford. :(

[Superfreak]

They'll all get their chance, come on, they've done nine episodes. Patience people. SG-1's on episode like 150 or something. It'll come. But I really didn't want to see Ford hanging out with his grand parents.

by the way,,, I didn't say that the character is stupid. Ford is very cool, doesn't mean he's 'super intelligent'. He's a grunt, maybe that's why he didn't figure it out, hence why they didn't show him freaking out in his constructed reality.

[twylight]

There are no dumb characters, only dumb writers. :)
j/k

They'll ge to it. And the characters will start to act more "comfortable" with each other. Right now, much of the conversations feel stilted.

[TheCorpulent1]

Just got around to seeing last week's episodes.
Stargate was just boring. Jaffa episodes are usually boring, to me...
De gustibus non est disputandum, ok? Wait, you're from Romania, you speak perfect English, AND you know Latin? How many languages do you know?? :eek:

Anyway, Superfreak, I totally agree. Most of the Jaffa episodes are great. My favorites as a whole are probably the Asgard episodes, but that episode where Teal'c exposes the Jaffa leader as a Goa'uld is one of the best of the whole series, in my opinion.

I've noticed that Ford seems a bit... thick, too. Not just here, he tends to seem a little confused in general.

[Superfreak]

THE WARRIOR... I've gotten some people addicted to SG-1 after that episode... it's the scene where the team is showing off their superior weapons. I love that episode.

Yeah, same here. Asgard episodes always rule hard. The jaffa episodes are great, but they still don't compare. And no episodes compare to the three 'supersmart' ONeill episodes. That's probably the best concept the show has. That the 'dumbest' character only gets smart for an episode, but so smart that he doesn't know what he's doing. Beautiful

Yeah, Ford is the Grunt, he's like ONeill in that way. Ford's all about blowing stuff up, and asking questions later. And of course he looks confused,,, it's Rainbow, the Much Music 'Stoner' VJ. He can't help it

[TheCorpulent1]

Hahaha, I didn't know he was a VJ. I don't think I get Much Music where I am.

The weapons testing part of "The Warrior" rules. It's even better because it's Sam who's tearing up the targets.

Super-smart Jack is fun. I love when he loses the ability to speak. He does these weird things and all he can do is just give Sam and Daniel these confused looks because even he doesn't know why he's doing it. :) Speaking of Jack as the "dumb" one, I like how SG-1 all really grew into their niches. Daniel went all spiritual with the ascension stuff, which translated into a frenzy of knowledge-hunting for clues about the Ancient culture, Sam had the tech stuff, which led to the X-302, Teal'c had the fight for peace which brought us all the great Jaffa episodes, and Jack sort of related to all of them in different ways. That's chemistry. :up:

[LadyVader]

Wait, you're from Romania, you speak perfect English, AND you know Latin? How many languages do you know?? :eek:


Oh, shucks. :)
You know... I have been known to dabble with klingonian.
Heglume'H QaQ Jajvam, etc.

And people please, lay off Ford, he's a chocoholic so he can't be all bad. :D

[Superfreak]

he's still Rainbow... I think it's a gender perspective. I admit, he plays the part well, and once they get more foundation under his character, and when Rainbow settles into the role, Ford should be an excellent character to watch. I only bust his chops because he is Rainbow

I just finished watching episode 10 of season 8. I suspect that Teal'c will be reaming some serious NID ass in the next episode. I'm also getting this feeling that ONeill has just about had it with being the Generale (that 'yeah, tough decision' line). Something really rotten is going to happen to all those rogue agents, and Kinsey for that matter. I'm hoping that as punishment for their crimes, they judged by the Jaffa, rather than our impotent earth law.

Atlantis is ath 99%, be back in an hour or so.

[TheCorpulent1]

SG-1 rocked. I like the fact that they're starting to tie up a lot of the dangling plot threads. Talk about a major blow to the free Jaffa movement, though. MILLIONS dead? Wow. It was great to see Teal'c filled with righteous wrath after that, though, and the quick little standoff between him and the head Trust guy at the end was cool. I'm hoping Jack saddles up again and has at least one more gate-related adventure before the end of this season, and that "tough decision" line does seem to show his exasperation with being the Man.

I didn't see most of Atlantis. I tried to watch it last night, but I fell asleep halfway through. I've got it recorded though, so I'll try to finish watching it today. It's shaping up to be a pretty good episode from what I've seen. McKay and the Czech scientist have a nice rivalry going. :)

[Superfreak]

Atlantis, very cool set up, stupid cliffhangers... judgement all depends on the conclusion... 4 months from now....

Sheppard... Die Hard anyone? I hate those military guys. I hope they get it good. But man that little blond has got such an annoying voice, and she's so over-naive, it's a little annoying. I have a feeling that the Genai (whatever) are gonna be Atlantis' Jaffa rebellion.




... was that the SG-1 summer finale aswell? I'm thinking this is SG-1's last season, so I think we're headed for some insanity in the near future (as far as the series is concerned, not actual time). They've been hinting that the Jaffa rebellion is about to explode for the last little while. And if the series is ending soon, it's time to tie up a lot of loose ends. Replicators need to be finished once and for all, Baal needs to be slapped around, the Jaffa have to do their thing, We still need batteries for our toys, still waiting to find out about Anubis and the Ancients, and I think this was the first time we've seen a tok'ra in a long long time.

[TheCorpulent1]

I thought the exact same thing when McKay and Weir ended up as hostages and Sheppard was the only one free: "He's gonna go all Die Hard on them..." :D I hate cliffhangers, January's too far away. Although I guess it is commendable that Sci-Fi fits their schedule around the networks' schedules. That way I get new Sci-Fi shows when network shows are rerunning and vice-versa.

Anybody else finding they don't really care one way or another about Weir? I mean, I do hope Sheppard finds a way to save her, but I just can't make myself care that much. It's not like they're about to kill Hammond or anything.

yeah, kill her, she has yet to do anything of any importance on the series... which is what the conclusion will come down to (pretty obvious I think). Sheppard will go commando, but by the end of the episode, Weir will have mended things with the Genai... and Atlantis will have ALOT of power, maybe even enough to dial home (hence why Sheppard was questioning the use of the lightning rods). I think Weir will play in a big way next episode in creating a stable alliance with the Genai.

[SPIDEYISCOOL]

Weren't they going to make the show into a movie? I mean one actually based on the series. Not the movie out now..

[TheCorpulent1]

No clue, but that'd be cool.

[LadyVader]

Excellent stargate episode! In the begining I was going : "They lost the Stargate. BRILLIANT!" And I loved Daniel's little joke: YOU DRANK COFFEE!? LOL
Everything tied in together so well. Finally the humans are kicking some ass and with million of jaffa and a tok'ra dead they don't look so good anymore do they? In fact... humans resemble Goa'ulds under the circumstances.
One thing I don't get... at the end, why didn't they stick around on the ship? Couldn't they turn it around afterwards?

[Superfreak]

Well, the gate... earth needs the gate. We're screwed without it. But what remains is that the NID chick still has a ship, and the nerve gas, meaning she can just go to some other planet and continue the attack. They weren't really ready for a mission yet. Teal'c had just arrived, Carter had been prisonner for what I assume was a day or two, and Daniel had also just been capture...

The real reason they didn't stay on board... I would have subtracted from the conclusion that they already have planned (that's my best guess, other than the above)

[TheCorpulent1]

Ok, there's been a serious shortage of Stargate news and therefore discussion, so I was bored. I was watching reruns of SG-1 and Atlantis tonight and I was just treated to the, I guess, temporary Atlantis intro since the other one features Atlantis rising from the waves. It's probably the single most boring introduction I've ever seen. Shot looking up at the surface of the ocean from below, cue music, about 15 seconds later, "Stargate Atlantis" finally flashes on the screen. More ocean, more ocean, "Joe Flanigan," more ocean, "Torri Higginson," etc. Then, FINALLY, the camera moves and we get to see Atlantis chillin' down there. I mean, honestly... couldn't they have just like moved the camera around the set or something? Anyway, the episode's still good.

[Superfreak]

just saw the 2nd part of the Atlantis summer cliffhanger.

Cool, but not quite impressed. The first half of the show, is Sheppard simply running around the city. Tea'la gets into another hand to hand fight etc. They finally got some exterior shots of the city other than the ones they've been reusing for the first half of the season.

I thought the episode was good, but then it just kind of ended, no harm no foul. And Weir is still utterly useless.

[Superfreak]

... sheppard will be feared by all humans in Pegasus after that showing of military prowess. He killed what 60 - 70 dudes in one episode, single handed. Pretty cool

[GothicPowerMix1]

You got that right I will be honestly surprised if they try anything like that again the genine or however you spell that name

[Superfreak]

episode 12 of atlantis was alright.... but I think the team is going to start needing some reinforcements soon... ei, they lose about to Team members an episode.

Anyone have any idea how many people, soldiers/scientists were sent to atlantis? Because at this rate, there aren't gonna be many people left til they can get some new recruits from earth

[Wiseman]

I just got cable back a couple weeks ago after losing it right before the premiere of Atlantis so from the 2 episodes I've watched so far I'm still completely lost as to what's going on

we (earth humans) wake up the badguys, the people who killed the ancients(the people who built atlantis). They suck life from humans like livestock, and live forever, unless they are killed.

we (earth humans) also manage to piss off the other humans in this new galaxy because of our high moral superiority. Pegasus humans are all scattered and fragmented because that's how the badguys like em

ps. Weir is the WORST character on the show. All she does is whine. They should just kill her off as a cheap plot device, and let the story follow Sheppard instead. (I know she's the 'general hammond' character on Atlantis, but she's so God damn annoying)

[Superfreak]

Another year of Stargate is coming to an end... so I thought I might bring this back to life.

I'm very excited for the finale of Atlantis... powered with a ZPM retrieved from Earth of the past, we'll finally get to see what this city is capable of. I'm very excited to see how this season plays out. I REALLY want to see sheppard in another dog fight with a battle ready 'space mini van'.

As for SG-1, I HATE time travel, but the season has been solid over all. Ben Browder joining the cast next season, as a veteran fighter pilot is going to be a blast. Rumors seem to define him as the commander of the X-302 squadron that defended Antartica from the Anubis fleet, and subsequently given his choice of assignments after getting shot down. So obviously he chooses SG-1. I see this season of SG-1 as very solid episodes, but nothing special happening as far as saving the universe from evil (that'll be next season)

all in all, I'm very excited to see how both series play out their season finales.

[LadyVader]

hey! Daniel gets hooked up in Prometheus Unbound? I read some quotes on tvtome.com between him and a woman and they were so funny together. i'm interested to see how this Vala person looks. From the quotes she sounds like a Mara Jade type of gal, which you know, are so cool.
Can't wait to see that episode.

Can't wait to see that episode.

Vala is Claudia Black, Aeryn from Farscape... their relationship (the whole 1 episode of it) is very strange... as Daniel notes in the episode, she's a freak. Although the episode itself doesn't GO ANYWHERE (by itself atleast)

[LadyVader]

All GOOD relationships start out like that.
And Daniel could get a little freaky. Wouldn't kill him... I think. :D

[KingOfDreams]

Hey does anyone here watch the great sci-fi channels show Stargate Sg1. If so what you all expect of the new season and the spin off series stargate atlantis?:ghost:

SG-1 is a great show. I heard that Richard Dean Anderson is leaving the show and going to make Mulder-esque appearences every now and then. Even though that dude from Farscape is filling the gap in the team I doubt the show can last at this rate. The first season is still my favorite...and I don't like the Atlantis spin-off.

[LadyVader]

http://www.drundel.com/women/Claudia_Black.jpg

heh, I like her. Liked her on Farscape too.
But Michael and Lexa look much better together.
Here's to them having a long and happy marriage! :)

[Superfreak]

SG-1 is a great show. I heard that Richard Dean Anderson is leaving the show and going to make Mulder-esque appearences every now and then.

I hope that doesn't happen, with SG-1 on it's way out in the next year or two. I'm pretty sure they'll just keep him as he is this season. As the general in charge, not on the Sgteam, so not the center of the action.

[LadyVader]

You're right SuperFreak
Prometheus unbound didn't go ANYWHERE... with the plot that is.
But I still enjoyed it immensely. I think that since "Wormhole Extreme" I haven't laughed so hard at a SG episode.
Daniel's look when the "super-soldier" said he was attractive was absolutely priceless! It amazes me that after 8 years he still fights like a girl. :)

you're gonna love this seasons recap episode!!!!! it's the best version they've done so far, and it has a plot which is odd, but works quite well in achieving its goal. Wormhole extreme actually makes an appearance in the episode, which is really funny. "WHAT DID YOU DO WITH MY STONE!?!?!?!?!?!??!" Just a good episode.

[TheCorpulent1]

I've been watching the episodes early too. I couldn't help it! But the ending to that recap episode is HILARIOUS. Daniel and Sam's reactions especially. :)

Also, Weir's kinda growing on me. There's an episode coming up that made me appreciate her a little more.

I'm looking forward to the new episodes starting on Sci-Fi tomorrow so I can finally discuss some of this stuff with the rest of you. The finales seem like they'll be awesome on both shows, especially since I, unlike Superfreak, loooove time travel. I'm looking forward to Browder's character next season, although people have expressed concern that he may look too much like Daniel for them to share the screen comfortably. What do you guys think? I'm betting they try something different with Ben and either give him a crew cut (since he's a military dude) or let it grow out and be kinda shaggy. I'd prefer the latter since it's such a stark contrast to his Farscape counterpart...

I will concede that SG-1 does time travel better than most other Sci Fi shows out there. I just don't ever feel like time travel is a 'desperate situation', b/c as Bill and Teds explained, you have an infinite amount of time to fix your mistakes. The time travel plot is obviously being used as a spring board for Atlantis (just a side thought, the tagline for Atlantis should have been this: Stargate Atlantis: Batteries Not Included).

With the time travel, I'm really looking forward to seeing what 'Goauld Earth' was like, and should be very interesting. I think they should revisit a concept that they used in the very first season. From the episode where Daniel 'died' (the first one). The episode was called Fire and Water, with the 'Fish' guy that faked Daniel's death. The Fish guy was searching for his mate, who had gone to earth to save it from the Goauld. She had been killed on earth 1000's of years ago, so it was Daniel (the historian) who knew of her demise. I'd really like to see that plot revisited, so that Daniel can finaly tell Nam (the fish guy) what really happened to her.




For next season what I would like to see. I suspect season 9 will be SG-1's last, maybe not though. But I would like to see SG-1 end with Earth befriending those advanced aliens that always dicked around with us in the early seasons of the series. The Nox, Nam (the fish guy) all wrapped up with the Asgard. Essentially, I want to see some of the ground work layed in the episode 'The Fifth Race' to come into early stages of fruition.

I'm just psyched right now, as both season finales approach in the next few weeks

[TheCorpulent1]

I'd like to see the series end with humans becoming the Fifth Race too. I don't remember that episode with Daniel and Nam though. I haven't seen all the episodes since I just started watching 2 seasons ago and I haven't gotten the money to buy all the season DVDs yet. I just got season 7 last week... I'm gonna work my way down.

I've always liked interconnectivity in anything that has spin-offs. I like when comics cross over with one another (provided it makes sense) and I like when TV shows do it. I think Atlantis has been separate enough from SG-1 to come into its own though.

I get what you mean about the time travel stuff, but I think that just brings more focus onto the characters. Understandably, they're gonna want to set things right and go back to their own timeline, which still creates a sense of urgency.

Oh yeah, I was just watching the Behind the Gate special and I saw that Rainbow's got a big Deadpool picture on his fridge. Extra cool points for Rainbow! :)

[Lord Blackbolt]

What do you guys think? I'm betting they try something different with Ben and either give him a crew cut (since he's a military dude) or let it grow out and be kinda shaggy. I'd prefer the latter since it's such a stark contrast to his Farscape counterpart...


Well there were those couple of Episodes in Farscape with him looking like a long haired hobo.

[LadyVader]

Oh yeah, I was just watching the Behind the Gate special and I saw that Rainbow's got a big Deadpool picture on his fridge. Extra cool points for Rainbow!

With a name like Rainbow, he definetely needs them. :)
Anyway, my favourite Atlantis character is McKay. Did you see Hot Zone? Man.. I almost got teary eyed when McKay started his death speech.

[Superfreak]

I was a little worried about Rainbow in SGA, but he's turned out well. From a Much Music(MTV canada) VJ, to SGA, is a pretty big jump, but it worked out well.

Anybody notice that on SGA, they've explained what Flashbang grenades are about 7 times this season. "all are weapons are gone, what do we have left?" " We have flashbangs!!!" . then they go on to explain what flashbangs are for the umpteenth time this season

[Superfreak]

Crichton Kicks, my favorite all time episode of Farscape

[TheCorpulent1]

Yep, McKay is definitely the best character on Atlantis. Hell, he rivals O'Neill himself as most consistently entertaining character in Stargate history as far as I'm concerned, especially in the coming episodes. :up:

Anyway, don't rag on Rainbow 'cause his parents were hippies. :( I had such a geek moment when I saw that DP poster... I was wondering whether he preferred Kelly or Priest. :D

[LadyVader]

Yep, McKay is definitely the best character on Atlantis. Hell, he rivals O'Neill himself as most consistently entertaining character in Stargate history as far as I'm concerned, especially in the coming episodes.

Like in "Letters from Pegasus", right? I think that's my favourite Atlantis episode. It was extremely funny, chock-full of character developement and it had some action too. Not to mention I actually LIKED Teyla in this episode. KUDOS to the writers!

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, "Letters to Pegasus" was great. His tape was alternatively hilarious and poignant. Ford actually did a lot of stuff in that episode too. :up:

[Superfreak]

The Siege, Part 1 man that satellite 'was' cool. And I think Sheppard is getting a little crazy. Nothing really happens, as it's the first of a a two parter, well, some slightly important things happen, but I can't wait til next week.

Reconning, Part 1, that damn repicator Carter, Baal, the return of a 'suprise' villain, the jaffa rebellion, the Asgard, the Tokra, the SGC, and hell, even 'Oma'. They're all in this one. Again, can't wait to see the conclusion of this mid season cliffhanger. I suspect the replicators will be finished in the next episode, finished for good.

Both episodes were decent, but both, as cliffhangers are totally dependent on how they end. I'm very excited, back to back cliffhangers, Atlantis faces a reduced fleet of Wraith, While in the Milky Way, the Jaffa, the Goauld, and the replicators are all converging on a single planet (and each of their respective survival's are on the line)

[TheCorpulent1]

I thought it was kinda coincidental how To'kara just happens to house an Ancient device that can destroy the Replicators once and for all. Other than that, "The Reckoning" is going swimmingly. It's very tense, Jack is hilarious, RepliCarter is surprisingly fun (I'm not a big fan of the "evil double" plot device), Teal'c is doing Jaffa stuff again after a season filled mostly with his assimilation into Earth society, and the list of guest-stars and cameos is excellent.

"The Siege" was good too, although considerably quieter than "The Reckoning." Big stuff happens, sure, but the main things are seemingly handled right in that episode (the Wraith on Atlantis and the orbital weapons array). I already know roughly what happens thanks to gateworld.net and my weak will for resisting spoilers, but it was still entertaining nonetheless. Groden shouldn't have died though. He was Atlantis' Walter. :(

totally agree... yeah, and such a coincidence, that everthing, that everyone wants is on Tokara, and yet, so utterly predictable. Regardless, it excites me. Jaffa vs. Goauld (with Baal vs. Anubis) vs. Replicators. It's gonna be big. And then to add to that, we pesky humans and our allies will stick our nose in the battle.

Spoilers, I too have a weakness. I'M VERY EXCITED to see Threads, as anything to do with the ancients on SG-1 is mint (it's become redundant on SGA already)

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, I've been curious about what happened to Daniel as an ascended being since his return last season. "Threads" is supposed to tie all of that up so I'm looking forward to it. And, of course, Oma and her incomprehensible riddles are always fun.

I don't mind the coincidence either, I was just saying that it's such a huge, obvious plot device. But whatever, the convergence of all the major players in SG-1 right now and the potential for a good story in its conclusion makes up for it.

[Superfreak]

just thought I'd throw this by you guys....

I WANT AN ASGARD TO JOIN THE CAST OF SGA NEXT SEASON!!!!!

it makes sense, the asgard have also been studying the ancient technology, and I'm sure they'd wanna get their little grey fingers on atlantis aswell. I think it would be and interesting, as well as extremely entertaining addition to the cast. Moreover, I'd like to see Rodney conflict with a little grey alien, who is infinately more intelligent than he is

[LadyVader]

oh, that sounds good. But I don't know... Asgards are cool but just like every other alien on the show, they can be real pricks in their so called "superiority". But what would a little grey guy do on the show? It's not like they can take him on missions. He definetely doesn't have ancient DNA and therefore can't use the technology (some of it, the most important part). Maybe have them appear from time to time but not permanently. besides, the budget per episode would increase quite a bit. An asgardian means CGI, puppet handling, voice actor.
That McKay scene however would be awsome to see.

[TheCorpulent1]

I'd love for an Asgard to join the cast. It might be a little impractical to have him be a regular cast member, but a recurring character would certainly be welcome. I too would love to see McKay galled at the fact that the Asgard would be unlocking more and more of the Ancients' technology while he has to deal with being second-best. Not to mention the fact that things are looking grim for the Replicators, so the Asgard may soon have some people to spare.

Yes, the Asgard shouldn't be a regular character on SGA, but more like a Zilenka character, a semi regualr. Maybe insert him as an Asgard scientist trying to figure out their cloning problem, where atlantis might hold the key to they're reproductive issues. Maybe even bring back the Hindol character from the episode 'Revelations' (the season finale right after Daniel ascends). I think an asgard would be the greatest, and most creative addition to the cast of atlantis, and I hope someone involved with the show catches the idea

[TheCorpulent1]

If they do introduce an Asgard, I hope it's a dude named Balder. I've got a thing for Norse mythology and I think Balder could use some mainstream pimping.

[twylight]

Hey! Nice to see my fellow Stargaties again! ^_^ Lady Vader, Corp!
And I'm still killing myself over missing the new eps...Justice League kinda got all the attention..grrr...anyway...my *late* views...

Stargate SG-1-
Interesting Ep. Danial was hilarious. I loved it......expecially the dinner part. :up:
All in all rather predictable, they couldn't get to Atlantis that would have ruined both shows. But it was enjoyable and correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't the girl from Farscape?
I like how they alluded to the Tok'Ra *sp?* I miss them and their fine looking guys..:(

Stargate Atlantis-
I take back ANYTHING I ever said bad about this show, sometimes I get tired of it's rather worn plots but McCay always saves the show. I've liked him since his first appearance on SG-1 "It's just us and the glowing bugs."
Etreamally creepy show though, and heartbreaking when McCay showed the guy what he looked like..I started to actually feel sorry and had to pinch myself to remember myself it was just a show. And then when he killed himself. That part was sad and depressing..
Is it just me or did the little glowing 'bugs' look like those energy things from an ep of SG-1? All I can say is Those poor little bugs! :( They were kinda cute..

[LadyVader]

Nice to see you too Twy. You got good tastes. :D
yeah, they were cute! The way they begged for food. But I feel they survived the explosion... At least they did in my dreams. :)
McKay is the one character in this show who's really changing as time goes by. In the begining he was kind of a goof, at least that's how I saw him. Sheppard isn't changing so much , as he's showing us what he's really made of. He's an enigma. :D
And Teyla is less and less sucky!

[LadyVader]

@ corp... the way they're going with naming aliens in this show I got a feeling they'll call him Johnny. :)

[Superfreak]

on the asgard thing, I think this'd be interesting.

Bring Loki to Atlantis (last seen in the episode where Oneill is cloned, and we end up with Oneill, and mini-Oneill). Bring both Loki, and mini ONeill to Atlantis (he has the gene, he's gotta be useful) Works in two ways,

1) you get an Asgard on Atlantis, an Asgard who has a shady history. Which would work well to develop some character for Loki. An interesting character, because he's a renegade Asgard (which is an interesting concept in itself).

2) You get a human kid on Atlantis, who can interact with the Genosian children etc, Atlantis is a city afterall, and sooner or later, more people are going to end up living there. Moreover, mini Oneill has the gene, but is also a competent 'adult' (as far as his brain is concerned) allowing him to be useful on the show. Plus, that kid does such a great RDA impression, it's worth a revisit.

[twylight]

They survived in mine too. :up: :D

Sheppard reminded me so much of O'Neill in the beginning, it's sort of funny.

McCay...I really liked how they sort of had him 'wanting' action, slowly evolving his character. It's awesome the whole gun thing was great "What now!?"
I really think that I enjoy watching Atlantis more than SG-1. SG-1 is getting kind of boring, eache ep is just like about one person on the team. Though when they do O'Neill it's fun.

Teyla is getting better! She's not quite so annoying, which is great!

[Superfreak]

AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stupid Cliffhangers!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyhow, The Siege, Part 2. Very very cool episode. Various plot lines become interlinked in this episode which I like. The military force from earth brings A LOT of guns. The shots of the city defence are excellent, aswell as the wraith assaults on the city. The episode ends on a cliffhanger (a big cliffhanger)... have to wait until July for the conclusion :( We also finally see Weir get to do some 'diplomatic' work. My only beef with the episode is the Colonel sent to relieve Weir, and take command from sheppard. This guy is possibly one of the WORST CASTING JOBS EVER, THIS GUY CAN BARELY ACT, HE'S HORRIBLE (I think he's dead though, so good riddens). Can't wait to see the conclusion.

[GothicPowerMix1]

Super you saw the siege part 2 already ?

[TheCorpulent1]

Good to see you too, twy. It seems like the gang from the first half of the season is all back... you, LadyVader, Superfreak, and I were the only people who came to this thread regularly.

Canada gets Atlantis and the UK gets SG-1 earlier than the US of A. I've been downloading the episodes as they become available and I gotta say, I agree with Superfreak on all counts. Freaking cliffhangers kill me, but I guess that's their job. Ford kicked ass and McKay and Zelenka were great as always, but it's definitely Sheppard and Teyla that are drawing my attention for season 2's opener.

Colonel Everett really can't act, although I think I read on Gateworld that he's supposed to be creating a new dynamic for the Atlantis team in season 2, so I suspect he survives. He got a little better as the episode progressed, but that's not saying much considering how utterly terrible he was at the beginning, when the SGC troops first arrived through the gate. Probably the worst "announcement" voice I've ever heard.

The effects were outstanding, probably second only to "The Eye" in the amount of sheer visual splendor packed into one hour-long episode. The flashback still stings... poor Groden. :( The one minor problem I have with this episode is a result of the fact that the UK and Canada are showing SG-1 and Atlantis on different schedules, respectively: I want to know what happened over at the SGC that led to Everett and the crew getting to Atlantis. I have a basic idea from synopses at Gateworld, but I want to see the two shows weaving together for myself.

[Superfreak]

I'm in Canada.... I didn't want to say too much unless no one else had seen it, but now that corp is in watch out for spoiling

Can you say 'Bagdad'? The AA in part 2 is Amazing. Although the budget constraints on the set kind of detracted from the 'role out the cannons' montage. but it did it's job well enough.

Yeah, after watching the episode again, I don't mind the colonel so much... he's supposed to be annoying, and his bad acting only adds to the effect. I also saw the potential of his addition to the cast. If that's what's happening. The interaction was actually quite good as the episode went on (as you said corp). It opens up the possiblity for the military/civilian rule conflict, which they could really capitalize on with Sheppard in charge (you can't have to two main characters at absolute odds with each other)

My biggest question is this: it seemed at the end that Atlantis had all but fallen at the end. No Teyla on the radio, and a bunch of stunned or dead people lying on the ground, Ford and a couple of marines were surrounded by a zillion or so Wraith, the colonel appeared to have been fed upon. So how do they get out of this mess

Any predictions?

Obviously the Daedelus is going to show up in the premier, so maybe they save Shep from riding a bomb in strangelove style.

I had this thought that maybe the nuke is a dud (it's built by morons by our standards) I think that'd be a pretty funny twist.

[GothicPowerMix1]

I HATE SCI FI NOW

I do NOT want to wait until july to see part 2 cant anyone tape it and put it online :(

[TheCorpulent1]

I agree, Superfreak, I think they may have dug themselves in a little too deep for a quick resolution in next season's premiere. Things we can bank on, however: Sheppard's gonna find some way out of the kamikaze run, Teyla's gonna pop up from... wherever... safe and sound, and Atlantis will survive the attack. I think the Daedalus will show up to ring Sheppard out of the jumper at the last second. Then they'll deliver the ZPM, but I have a feeling something will go wrong (as somethings are always wont to do on a Stargate show), McKay will frantically work out a cross-your-fingers solution with Zelenka, and Teyla will somehow either provide the last piece to the puzzle and save the day or save Ford.

Chosen: Superfreak and I are talking about part 2. There's more to the arc than just the two parts that end this season. It's most likely a three-parter with the conclusion doubling as the premiere for the next season or maybe even a 4-parter with a 2-hour episode as the premiere, much like we had at the end of SG-1's 7th season and the beginning of its 8th. Frustrating, I know, but these extra-long arcs do tend to make some of the best stories on the shows.

[GothicPowerMix1]

I know you guys are talking about part 2 of the siege

It just PISSES ME THE **** OFF that us USA guys have to wait

[Superfreak]

I know you guys are talking about part 2 of the siege

It just PISSES ME THE **** OFF that us USA guys have to wait

GIVE ME A BREAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I mean honestly, it's not like the States gets EVERYOTHER TV SHOW BEFORE canada or europe. My belief: Stargate, SG-1 and Atlantis SHOULD air in Canada before anywhere else b/c they are filmed in Canada...

And just a side note... I think the producers of SG-1 and SGA should have thought about what they were doing a little more. It's nice to see that Atlantis and Sg1 are playing off of eachother, but the problem that exists now, is that Atlantis is further ahead in the timeline than Sg-1. Atlantis gets a ZPM from earth... but as far as the airings of episodes go, SG-1 has not yet located a ZPM, that's happening in 2 or 3 weeks. I think they should play or organize both series better, so that the continuity is all where it's supposed to be.

It just annoys me that they can't get the continuity b/w both show working well in order

[Superfreak]

it just leaves a lot of questions. If Daedelus arrives, how do they get the ZPM to a wraith infested Atlantis? I figure that will be the adventure in the season premier.

Chosen: Superfreak and I are talking about part 2. There's more to the arc than just the two parts that end this season.

Frustrating, I know, but these extra-long arcs do tend to make some of the best stories on the shows.

except the cliffhanger at the end of Season 7 of SG1 occured after the climax/resolution of the conflict... Atlantis on the other hand is being just plain annoying (standard cliffhanger I guess).

And yes Chosen: we are talking about the 2nd installment of of a two part finale of SGA, which ends on a cliffhanger, so you'll see this, but the resolution to what happens in the finale is going to be next season

[GothicPowerMix1]

But there is ONE MORE EPISODE TO GO

The resolution can be resolved in the REAL FINALE



I thought theyd keep shepard stuck in space for a long time

[Superfreak]

But there is ONE MORE EPISODE TO GO

so what you're saying is that there is a 21st episode this season? That thereis another episode this season, after the Siege Part 2?

I'm pretty sure that the season is ending on this cliffhanger

[TheCorpulent1]

I'm pretty sure SG-1 and Atlantis are both inexplicably on a 20-episode schedule for this season. Which is odd, considering SG-1 has had 22 episodes, the standard for most of the sci-fi/fantasy hourlongs I've seen, every season starting in season 2. So yeah, it looks like Atlantis is ending on a cliffhanger this season.

Regarding the lack of continuity between the shows, I think that's just some wonky thing going down in the Canadian and UK airings. On the Sci-Fi Channel here in the States, we're supposed to be getting all the episodes that correspond from one show to the other. Season 8, ep. 16 of SG-1 will air on the same night as season 1, ep. 16 of Atlantis, and so on down the line to each show's respective finale. So odds are, for what I guess is considered their "main" audience on the USA's Sci-Fi Channel, the shows will have some continuity. The season finale of SG-1 is a time-hopping bonanza, and I think they find the ZPM in Egypt in the past. So most likely we'll see them get the ZPM and send it off to Atlantis first in SG-1, then "The Siege (pt. 2)" will air after that and we'll see it as a continuous thing, with Everett popping up and the ZPM on its way. I guess you Canadians just got a crappy deal with the syndication.

[twylight]

Good to see you too, twy. It seems like the gang from the first half of the season is all back... you, LadyVader, Superfreak, and I were the only people who came to this thread regularly.

Canada gets Atlantis and the UK gets SG-1 earlier than the US of A. I've been downloading the episodes as they become available and I gotta say, I agree with Superfreak on all counts.
Yeah It's kinda nice...:up:

Yeah and since ya'll are seeing them before us..can you use spoilers if you want to talk about something important?

Because now I'm wondering about the guy replacing Sheppard, and what happened to Teyla.:(

[Superfreak]

RECKONING PART 2 IS BETTER THAN THE SIEGE PART 2

dANIEL HAS A MEAN STREAK, AWESOME... I'LL WRITE MORE WHEN i GET BACK FROM CLASS

[Superfreak]

WARNING OF SPOILING


HUGE BATTLE HUGE I TELL YA. All the different races, minus the Asgard, converge on the planet, resulting in a battle royal. The replicators are completely annihalted. And guess who learns how to take control of them due to the newly unlocked power in his brain? That's right, Daniel, and CarterSquared have a mind battle, resulting in the ultimate victory over the replicators.... but here's a question, what about the replicators that were on planets that didn't have a stargate? (I mean there has to be some, it's a big galaxy

"Trying to leave? Sorry, a little more time in Dany's world"
"My brethren will not stop, you cannot control them"
"Not Yet, but I'm learning"
I went MWUAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA after that... awesome

But guess who also died for the umpteenth time, again? But I guess it had to happen, so that we could get to next weeks episode

Really great episode, and so desperate by the end. Everything ties together nicely, except for this, Where in monkey hell was Anubis during all this mayhem?

Holy bumba chronic episode... Rumors stated somewhere said that SG-1 could end as a series on any of these last episodes this season. And it's true, Reckoning was an amazing story line, and really delivered in its second half, effects wise, action wise, story wise, depth wise. It was a great combination of all the various aspects of the major subplots behind stargate sg1

We've got Threads coming up next week, which is rumored to run an hour and a half as the episode is so profound that the producers felt they needed the extra time... and we all love OMA(she's smart and hottttt, in that yummy mummy kind of way), which is the entire basis of next weeks episode, so it should be good.

I hope you guys see this soon, because I might venture out there, and say that Reckoning part 2 may be the best SG-1 Episode I've seen, as far as action and plot (nothing will ever defeat 'Absolute Power' though)

[TheCorpulent1]

"Reckoing Part 2" was definitely great. I'm really, really looking forward to "Threads" now. Not that I wasn't before, since anything with the Ancients and ascending gets me excited, but with Daniel apparently starting to unlock some of the Ancient secrets in his mind I'm really anticipating what he and Oma are gonna talk about in "Threads."

Does anyone know if the 90-minute version will be showing in Canada too? I know the Sci-Fi channel plans on showing it here in the US.

I don't know, I read rumors about it being 90 mins on gateworld,,, but I haven'te heard anything about it since. Find out next tuesday I asume. But rumors did say we do find out about the origin of Anubis (which is ultimately interesting). I'm just so excited to see Daniel confront Oma about all the grief he's been through... and gateworld said that the episode language would not be in OmaBabble

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, I guess Oma's gonna drop the riddles since Daniel's already been ascended. No need for pretense if they both already know he's got it in him. One of the rumors I read about season 8 as a whole was that Daniel would be having a showdown with Anubis at some point. Hopefully it'll be better than season 6's "showdown," which consisted of Daniel glowing and Oma tearing him away from Anubis. A 90-minute episode would definitely be sweet though.

[twylight]

Okay..Okay....


Stargate SG-1-
Wow, and I thought this one would be boring..seeing Harry again :up: Also the "Wow! We found a VERY important Ancient toy! But it was destroyed." Plot was removed. This time it was "Wow! And old friend AND we found a VERY important Ancient toy!"
It was a nice way to pass the evening...

Stargate:Atlantis-
Best Virus plot ever..I was on the edge of my seat the whole show, granted it was late at night and the show was kinda spooky. But it was one of the best..I love McCay..I just had to say it again.

[LadyVader]

Just saw the Atlantis finale... I knew it! I just knew they'd end with a cliffhanger but I thought at the very least I'd see a big explosion at the end, but nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Sheppard has to go: "I'm coming in... but you won't find out what happens to me or who gets their asses kicked and how until summer. Cya then you nerds!"
Sheesh!
Still have to catch up on Stargate.

[TheCorpulent1]

McKay's "final thoughts" in the episode were hilarious.

McKay: Tell them I was on the verge of a major breakthrough, but sadly my notes were lost in the incident with...
Ford: The kids?
McKay: That's right!

:D

[LadyVader]

How that man can go from dramatic to hilarious all in the same scene is mind-boggling!
:)

[GothicPowerMix1]

I thought Mckay was HILARIOUS in the episode where they are recording tape messages for their famalies


"I NEVER saw all of The Sixth Sense I always wondered how that turned out"


LMAO

[LadyVader]

Just watched Reckoning part 1 and 2
I didn't know what they could do to top the blowing up of the sun thing, but I think they did it. It was a really good show. Kept me on the edge of my seat. :)

Daniel is coming back. No doubt in my mind. We even had a body and he still came back. He reminds me of Buffy. :) I can just imagine the one-liners coming up in the next episodes.
"Daniel"
"Jack..."
"Died?"
"Yeeeeeah."
"Don't you hate it when that happens?"
"Starting to..."
I was praying he'd get the chance to kick the replicator's ass!
O'neill was cool at the end. It was obvious he was worried about Daniel but he's the colonel. Show must go on.
Was it me or was Baal particularly cool this time around? "I'm a god and a god is all knowing... ha ha hah." And that little smirk of his... I can't believe it. For once I find a Goa'uld quite attractive. This is a first. :)


Reckoning part 2 was Michael Shanks' 150th episode.
Way to go, Mr Intergalactic Babe!
I'm kidding.
I just wuv him for his brain...really... and his glasses. :cool:

[Superfreak]

knew you'd love it, next week is all you Lady Vader, Daniel vs. Oma in a roadside burger joint,,, should be good

[TheCorpulent1]

In case anyone's interested, we finally know the name of Ben Browder's character next season:
http://www.gateworld.net/news/2005/02/browderscharacternamerevea.shtml

Watch out for spoilers at that site since they are, in fact, a site almost singularly dedicated to spoilers. Anyway, I'm really looking forward to season 9 now and season 8's still got like 2 months to go.

[twylight]

:(

I feel so left behind..:(

I don't know what happenes next..:(

[Superfreak]

twylight, I feel your pain,,, all I can say is: you have a computer, use it to its full potential

Just saw threads, decent, but nothing totally fabulous. The episode does run long.

Although it didn't blow me away, it's an interesting episode, which deals with a lot of things. Other things were just interesting to watch

spoiling beware


-Watching Baal take crap from Anubis for loosing T'Kara
-Anubis is a really annoying fat guy
-Oma ascended Anubis
-No More Pete Shanahan
-Anubis is probably dead this time
-the humorous and triumphant return of daniel back to our plain of existance... again

I felt that the climax of the episode wasn't represented as significant as it should have been. But all in all the episode turned out well, but nothing like Meridian or Absolute Power

questions remain, is this the last we will see of the Ancients and the Ascended? I would have liked to see Shi'fu again.

I have this good feeling that Baal may turn out to be a goodguy at some point (that's a maybe, I though the same thing about Lord U, but they just killed him off)

[LadyVader]

"Daniel."
"Jack."
"Died?"
"Yeah"
"Is this... like your shtick now?'
"My schtick?"
"Yeah. The one that dies and comes back again."
"I only did it twice!"
"Dude... you've had so many funerals we have undertakers on speed dial."

"what? He's just waiting for us to say a bunch of nice things about him, then next thing you know, he comes waltzing right through that door".....



"anybody else hear that? That's Daniel!!"

it's nice how they dealt with that... I love when TV shows begin to 'parody' themselves for their outrageous plot lines

[Dante]

Unless they end SG1 soon, i reckon this is going to be a series thing, daniel dies, daniel comes back, daniel dies again...etc lol.

[TheCorpulent1]

Like Superfreak said, at least they've got a good sense of humor about it. Jack's comments were pretty funny. :)

SPOILERS...


I didn't think "Threads" was all that impressive myself. It had some good moments, but as a whole it was just kind of flat. I don't think they used the 90 minutes as well as they could have, since it often felt like it was just sort of meandering about, particularly in the diner scenes. I thought that'd be a hell of a lot more interesting than it turned out to be, but silly me, the Ancients are too snobbish to do a damn thing, so it came down to Daniel, Oma, and fatty Anubis just sitting around, basically. Kind of lame. I was far more interested in the romantic subplot for the last, oh, 8 freakin' years finally getting some development. I have a feeling they will remain unrequited, but who knows? That Kerry lady that Jack had was quite a looker, too.

totally agree, although totally entertaining, the episode really lacked some punch. And yeah, Jack's alternate was hot, and the relationship stuff that came with it was much more fun to watch than the diner stuff... to bad really, there was a lot of potential there that wasn't tapped into, hopefully meaning that we'll get more next season.

on the rekindled love story... I think the little conversation about Jack retiring might have some serious implications (I mean, there is no other reason for that scene to have occured). It seems to point in the direction that Jack will retire from the military and retain command of the base as a civilian. Which would accordingly explain why Ben Browder's character may be joining the cast.

I have a feeling this might happen some time next season, if not right at the beginning. It seems likely.

[LadyVader]

Damn blinders... damn flag... blocking my view.

I agree. What happened here? They wasted minutes on this? Aw phooey. :) But I did get to see some skin. :D Not as much as I would've wanted, but heck... I take what I can get.

[TheCorpulent1]

His beer belly's gotten bigger and bigger over this season. You can really notice it anytime he's just wearing one of the black t-shirts they wear under everything. But even so, I must admit (in a totally hetero way, mind you ;)) that he's a good-looking man. He's basically the Kirk of SG-1, too. He and Teal'c have had way more romantic subplots than Jack or Carter, and I think Daniel's beating Teal'c by one or two. Go history nerds! :D

I used to, but it seemed like almost everyone was seeing the episodes early anyway. Speaking of which, the site I downloaded the episodes from early got shut down by a court order because they also provided movies to download. :(

Don't feel bad for Teal'c. He's got Ishta and she hasn't died yet.

What ever happened to that dude that replaced Daniel for that one season?

sorry about no spoilers, I always screw them up,,, it's easier just to write a spoiler warning,,, if you're reading the post, and don't want to be spoiled, then it should be obvious where the spoilers are. And if you're just scanning, and not reading, well that's your problem,,, either way, sorry. Besides, there are only like 4 people who post regualarly in here

[TheCorpulent1]

Jonas went back to his planet after Daniel came back.
He met a nice Goa'uld girl in season 7 too. :) I just saw that episode when I got the DVD set. I hope we get to see some more of Jonas down the line, too. He was a great character and Parker Lewis made him really likeable.

Anyway, I found an alternate site too Superfreak. It's just annoying because that site was really good and it usually had episodes of other cult sci-fi shows. I even found some episodes of Sci Fi Channel's regrettably short-lived Invisible Man series on there. :(

[Superfreak]

ghaaa time travel!!!!!!!!!!

Mobius part one was entertaining, and part 2 should be just as entertaining,,, but not the kind of material I wanna watch for a season finale. The episode is good enough, but it's more on the comedic side of stargate. Guess I'll have to wait until this summer to see big explosions, and desparate situations

[TheCorpulent1]

Beware of SPOILERS!!!! Abandon all hope of non-spoilage, ye who enter here!



Considering they'll probably end up back at the point where the Egyptians rebel against Ra, I think there'll be some good 'splosions. Besides, they've gotta get Teal'c, who's still all evil. He'll probably shoot at them a few times. I liked the episode a lot. The alternate versions of Daniel and Carter are both awkward and goofy, and I love how Daniel's got all those lofty ideas that he was meant for more.

All I wanted to come in and say was that I liked how they meshed the Atlantis from this week with the SG-1 from last week. Very cool

Also the SG-1 from this week was like a boring recap of the other one with Martin.

Spoilers for Moebius part 1 aka "Revenge of the nerds" :)

Look everybody, it's Rodney! And he's coming on to Carter! What a playa'!
:)
Well Moebius was great! The only thing not great about it was Daniel's wig. EEK! Horrible. I'd think after seeing the tape, first thing he'd do is get a haircut!
Other then that, the episode really made sense in a way. They've been everywhere else, only place left is the distant past. I may have seen a bit to many time -travel stories, but should that recording even exist? :)
I hope there's some explanation why Jack was such a jackass... pardon the expression. I mean some better explanation then the obvious one.

[Superfreak]

timetravel: Stargate's perspective on timetravel is not a linear one, as usually used in shows like Star Trek (ie. Screw up the past, and you screw up the future). I think Rodney explained it well in an episode of Atlantis, every time you travel through time, you create new universes, and can one can affect those universes, while your original timeline(universe) is still out there somewhere, all you have to do is find it. It's very similar to the quantum mirror that SG-1 found in first season.

Why is Jack such a 'jackass': Assuming that the timelines are fairly similar, Jack's son probably killed himself with Jack's gun (Stargate: the Movie). Without the discovery of the Stargate, ONeill never had the opportunity to achieve the redemption that he attained while defending Abidos against Ra. Moreover, he still probably hates nerds, and the military (again, from Stargate: the Movie)

[Vapor]

Moebius part 2 is on in 30 minutes in the UK. Can't wait.

Michael Shanks rules.

[TheCorpulent1]

Also the SG-1 from this week was like a boring recap of the other one with Martin.
I loved "Citizen Joe." I thought it was one of the better comedic recap shows I've seen. Jack seeing Joe's life for 7 years and never mentioning it struck me as hilarious and the Simpsons in-joke (since Joe was played by Homer himself, Dan Castellanata) was cool. I did like the new president recap episode from last year more though.

my favorite recap was the one in the diplomatic meeting, with hammond as the main character. The one where Thor beams in at the end to put the smackdown on Kinsey. That episode really defined the direction the show would be going in the future.

Mobius Part II... interesting, yet dissappointing. This is exactly why I dislike timetravel episodes. SG-1 leads the rebellion that frees earth from Ra... but do we see any of that, no. And it's like the episode has no ending... stupid timetravel. Was looking for something a little bigger for a season finale. But I appears that SG-1 might show up at Atlantis in the summer, hell, they may be on the Deadelus, and show up in a knick of time to save atlantis in it's season 2 premier.

[Vapor]

Jonas went back to his planet after Daniel came back.

I read a TV/Sci-Fi mag a while ago and it had a thing about Stargate as well as an interview with the guy who played Jonas and it also mentioned that they were planning a spin-off show called Atlantis. Anyway, I'm sure I can remember reading that Jonas would end up in Atlantis.

Moebius part 2... hmm... kinda dissapointing actually. I was hoping to see the revolt or atleast a part of it with some decent action in, especially considering it's the season finale. But it was cool to see them sorta go back to begining and have Teal'c turn again and Apothis... And I thought Michael Shanks and Amanda Tapping played the alternate characters really well, but then they always do (Shanks playing all those different personalities in Lifeboat was awesome) and Jack and Carter kissing was cool.

The time travel bit was a bit wierd though, I mean it was about the characters from an alternate future so when they went back in time wouldn't they go back to the past of their alternate universe/future... Like in Back to the Future part 2 with Docs diagram and the skewered timeline?

see my earlier post. Essentially, in SG, time travel works like this. There are infinite universes. Some are very different, some are very similar. When messing with the timeline, one is not destroying the future, but entering a new universe. It's all very weird. It's a stupid, unexplainable plot device.

[TheCorpulent1]

"Moebius" part 2 was all right until the hugely disappointing ending. What a rip-off. Gaeta (on loan in ancient Egypt from Battlestar Galactica, apparently) shows up with a bunch of rebels and then that's it? Way too easy for a season finale. Not even alternate Daniel and the "real" SG-1's deaths made an impression on me. Kind of sad that out of all the really great 2-parters this season between Atlantis and SG-1, the mother show's big'un, the season finale, is the one that fumbled in the second episode, especially after the incredible second part of "The Reckoning." I hope next season's premiere will make up for this. It should, given the amount of cool stuff that's set to happen. Too bad SG-1 left us with this boring episode as a last impression for 6 months.

[Superfreak]

hopefully though, well get to see SG-1 rip up some hell in the pegasus galaxy in july

[LadyVader]

Spoilers :)

Let me just tell Alternate O'neill one thing about Alternate Daniel:
NO HE IS NOT!!!!!
Meh, the episode was ok. I'm glad Superfreak explained to me the whole "alternate universe theory" of time travel otherwise this episode would've been a 45 minute long headache. :) It seems to me they kept talking about big stuff like the original team dying and the rebellion and they didn't show anything about it. And Daniel was the only survivor? Well yeah, if he died and came back as usual. :D
Now for the romantic side of the episode... A minute, Jack? Is that the best you can do?
hehe

Figured I'd resurrect this old boy to see how everyone's doing with the lack of Stargate in their lives. I'm getting by. I'm excited about the previews they're gonna start showing during SG-1 Mondays on Sci-Fi now. There was a shot of Ben Browder in full offworld gear in the commercial for it and it made me very happy. Can't wait to see more. :)

I'm getting by with the 6th season. The poorest, most unwatched tv station in the whole country is airing it every tuesday. :) Despite everything else, Corin was cute.
Other then that I have the 8th season on M6 which is a french channel. Taht way I'm watching Stargate and working on my french language skills.
Multi-tasking. :D

[TheCorpulent1]

What are the French voice-overs like? Are they similar to the actors' voices?

[LadyVader]

Similar?
I guess. The only one that stands out is the actor who plays Jonas. He has a very rough voice, compared to the youngish voice Corin actually has. But they do try.
You should hear romanian people trying to dub Justice League. Batman sounds like he somebody is strangling him. :rolleyes:

I'm dying for the new seasons to start. I keep reading so many cool ideas for the new stories.

[Superfreak]

read some spoilers BEWARE




enemies of the ancients in our own galaxy.... sounds cool

arthurian legend.... sounds cool (I hope that gives them an angle to bring Mayborne back, he's jokes)

Sam starts next season 'far far away', which will probably give Crichton (he will always be...) a reason for joining the team... and might I just add, the rumors surrounding him sound cool, especially the idea of him being trained fully in Jaffa battle technique.

[TheCorpulent1]

Wow, I didn't hear that rumor, but that's definitely cool. The rumors I've heard regarding Browder are that he was an ace pilot who commanded the X-302s in the battle over Antarctica, was badly wounded, and has spent the last couple years in physical therapy, recovering from his injuries. For his service, he was promised a spot on an SG team and he, of course, chooses SG-1 when he's all better. Problem is, Jack left SG-1 and the other members moved onto their own affairs. Daniel's exploring with an archaeology team, Teal'c is dealing with the newly established Free Jaffa Nation, and Sam probably commands her own team. Browder's character wants to be on the front lines with the best of the best, so he obviously wants SG-1 back together, and he's kind of the catalyst that brings them all back to the flagship team. That's also how he ends up as the CO of SG-1, despite his and Sam's shared rank and Sam's greater experience. At least, that's what I've pieced together from various spoilers I've read. All in all, I'm very excited for the new stuff. I can't wait to see what the new team dynamic is going to be and I'm definitely looking forward to more off-world stuff this season, as opposed to the heavily Earthbound slant of season 8.

yeah, that's old news (i thought anyways)....

Browder's character is shaping up to be very cool. I read the spoilers for the last episode with a summary there as well, where Browder's character has to do a 'spock' like duel against a Jaffa. So that should be fun.


at gateworld, that's where I read that Sam would be 'absent', being far far away for the premier. It doesn't say it exactly, but I assume she'll be on her way to Pegasus with the ZPM to help Rodney install, and repair the city after the seige is defeated. So I'm assuming that during the premier, with Sam gone, there will need to be a ranking officer on the scene... allowing Browder to take the spot (plus all the other stuff about his heroics during the Anatarctic battle)

I don't think she'd be on her way to the Pegasus galaxy, given that she's not going to be in the Atlantis premiere either. I thought at first that her absence would have something to do with Jack's retirement, but Jack's still around in the premiere. Maybe she's off on a mission with her own SG unit and we'll see her on a monitor or something.

I finally saw the Behind the gate special: Secrets revealed. By now, it didn't tell me anything I didn't know (since I've seen those episodes) but still, the cast was hilarious. As usual, Shanks is looking very fine.
*dreamy sigh*
So the dude who plays doctor Bennett is not scottish!?

[TheCorpulent1]

I was surprised by the fact that Michael Shanks actually talks as fast as Daniel does. I thought he did that for the character, but he seems every bit like the hyper, crack-smoking monkey that Daniel sometimes acts like. Which is cool. :)

[LadyVader]

Yeah... Spader's Jackson was ok, but every bit the wimp O'Neill thought he was. The fact that Shanks can make the character his own, giving him his own features, prooves not exactly that he's a great actor, but the fact that he (as a person) is a pretty cool guy. :)

What would be a great ending?
Hm... the credits.
lol :)
I don't like Rachel Lutrell though. Just like her character... she tries too hard.

I'm looking forward to Dex in Atlantis next season. Hopefully he'll get more of the "obligatory alien" attention than Teyla. Teyla's a decent character, I suppose, but she does kind of get on my nerves.

Speaking of Daniel being a wimp, I saw early pictures from one of the season 9 episodes and Daniel's actually carrying a P90 on an offworld mission. On the one hand, that's cool because they're finally acknowledging that Daniel can hold a gun as well as anyone else. But on the other hand, I always liked how Daniel's peaceful explorer status was emphasized by the fact that he just had a sidearm that was kept out of the way in his holster most of the time. Teal'c also had a P90, which sucked twice as much. He just doesn't look right without a staff weapon.

[LadyVader]

Well... when you keep dying on a regular basis, maybe it's time to reconsider the whole "peace" thing.

:)

[TheCorpulent1]

That's true. I'm hoping they manage to fit a funny scene in where Mitchell learns that Danny-boy's on his third or fourth life already. :D

[LadyVader]

Did he die in the movie to or was he just in critical condition?

[lars573]

In the movie Daneil never even comes close to dying. The most violent action he has is where he knocks out Horus and collapses his head gear. Which reminds me of Stargates biggest plot hole. In the movie there are no Jaffa. All of Ra's guard companies are modeled after the other gods. The commander is a god (Horus, Anubis, Set) with head gear to match. In fact Ra's personal guard is Anubis.

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, that is pretty weird. Maybe Ra was just more eccentric than other System Lords, though. Plus, his subjects rebelled and drove him off of Earth already, so maybe he decided Jaffa just weren't enough for the Abydosians. He could've switched to Goa'uld servants that he modeled on some of the other System Lords or something. Anubis had Goa'uld underlings, after all, so it's not unprecedented.
