Stargate SG-1/Atlantis/Universe

You know, even thought there's not much to laugh about or have fun with on the ship (they are in a dire situation, after all), I wouldn't mind seeing practical jokes become a subplot during one episode.

A rash of practical jokes start popping up, and everyone starts naturally blaming Eli. And while he thinks they're hilarious, he continues to claim innocence. It all comes to a head at the end of the episode when a joke is played on Young in the mess hall. Ely, knowing he's going to get the blame again, quickly makes an exit. Young leaves, furious, and the crew busts out laughing, their spirits high for a change.

Upon hearing the laughter, Young smiles as he walks back to his quarters since he was actually the one pulling the practical jokes as a way of lifting morale.

Actually both Amanda Tapping and David Hewlett were born in the UK...

The sex scenes make me feel like they are trying too hard to make the show gritty.

I'd rather see more stories that have to do with...you know...SCI-FI. Like the next episode.

I was just reading a critics commentary about the show....they were talking about how the show is sexist, doesn't give the women decent parts, and is relying too mush on having people jump in the sack.

TJ seems to be a pretty strong woman. Although I can't say Camille or Chloe are doing much to disprove the idea that the show may be a bit sexist.

More like thousands of millions of light years. Although I don't remember hearing tons of complaints about it when Daniel and Vala were using it.

And there's actually some basis for the stones. According to quantum entanglement theory, two particles can be separated by space, but one will react 'instantaneously' to changes in the other. Even if separated by large distances.. Recent attempts at measuring this 'speed' of interaction put it a minimum of 10,000 times the speed of light. But no know maximum has been found.

Figuring the stones are based on Ancient technology that allows the travel of matter through wormholes between galaxies in a few seconds, I'm not sure why it's so improbable that allowing energy (in the form of consciousness) to travel such distances even faster. Hell, to travel between galaxies in days (which is what I assume Destiny is doing, although it could just still be in the same galaxy), it would have to be traveling billions of times the speed of light.

Yes, yes, of course! I meant to say light years.

And you know, I stopped watching SG1 about the time Claudia Black came on board and through most of the whole Ori arc, so I missed those eps about the stones. Dunno, I began to feel bored watching those eps, Was it worth it/any good?

BTW, I watched the ep 'Unending' a few months ago during reruns and absolutely LOVED it! What season was this part of? I guess I missed on some fun, eh?

Again, it got me by surprise.. not that it scares me or something t: but my 9-year-old son was watching with me....

Unending was the series finale.

 

[Dr Lee]

Unending was THE final episode of SG-1....

and the last shot of the episode was filmed as the last shot of the schedule...

It was so sad seeing the photos taken after that last shot where Amanda and everyone is saying goodbye and crying.

 

[Sam Fisher]

Unending is a great episode{like it a whole lot better as a finale than "Ark Of Truth"}.

 

[Dr Lee]

If you look during the last scenes... Chris Judge was bawling his eyes out... they had to alter some camera angles as he just couldn't stop crying... Don't blame him TBH

 

[wiegeabo]

I think you can tell that Amanda had been as well.

 

[RetroNaz]

Amanda Tapping has aged extremely well. She looks better now than when she was first on the show! Maybe it's just good to see her with long hair lol...

 

[wiegeabo]

Unending is a great episode{like it a whole lot better as a finale than "Ark Of Truth"}.

It hadn't occurred to me before (or maybe it had and I'd forgotten), but the way Vala was clinging to Daniel...I'm wondering if it wasn't the pressure of being on the ship...but that they lost a baby.

 

[Dr Lee]

that was the idea behind that clip.... also, apparently Chris and Amanda specifically tried to include some Teal'c/Carter stuff in the episode...which was all cut out in the edit lol

 

[stargazer]

Oh, really?! Wow. Yeah, loved it. I must watch the last season for sure now.

Unending is a great episode{like it a whole lot better as a finale than "Ark Of Truth"}.

Very nice scene.

LOVE this one too.. so intense!

What a jerk Daniel was there, but obviusly he didn't really mean all of that, right? It seems to me he was just trying to protect himself from Vala. I always wanted to see both of them ending up together, sure they were very different, but that's part of the fun. t:

Hmm, yeah, so that's WHY I noticed at the end how Teal'c looked at Sam; like if they had had something important during all those years in the ship.

Title of third SG1 movie revealed.

http://www.gateworld.net/news/2009/11/third-sg-1-movie-is-stargate-revolution/

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Interesting. I'm kind of curious how they'll reintegrate O'Neill. RDA doesn't seem like he'd be into the heavy action stuff he used to do in the role anymore. Not to mention the idea of a 3-star general going out on dangerous missions is a bit odd overall. Still, getting O'Neill back is awesome anyway.

I know it'll never happen, but I kind of wish we could get a movie with both the SG-1 and Atlantis casts.

Cute, but I don't seeing it happening. At this point I think it far more likely the crew would just spontaneously start to have sex with eachother... rather than pull practical jokes. :P

Wait...that's not happening already?

 

[Gold Samurai]

"Heavy" is one word to describe RDA's weight gain since leaving lol

It hadn't occurred to me before (or maybe it had and I'd forgotten), but the way Vala was clinging to Daniel...I'm wondering if it wasn't the pressure of being on the ship...but that they lost a baby.

Wait what?

 

[wiegeabo]

Wait what?

The way they were acting in that shot, and seeing as how it was after they started hooking up, makes me think Vala had a miscarriage.

 

[Dr Lee]

Wait what?

That was the idea around that scene...for some reason

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Hey, the man was in phenomenal shape for like 50 years. Cut him some slack.

You're gonna put on a few pounds when your a 60 year old, planet bound General.
