Stargate SG-1/Atlantis/Universe

[TheCorpulent1]

Maybe he got stuck in another time loop and ate nothing but Fruit Loops for a couple years.

At last, an episode of Universe that did not bore me to death. Best Episode so far (for me). Nothing like a little alien creature bursting out of an annoying woman to put a smile on ones face

 

[wiegeabo]

This actually felt (and through the kino's eye, looked), like a classic SG1 episode.

For some reason, I really liked the little flicker of the end credits.


Next week, can't wait for Young to kick Telford's ass!

 

[ChickenScratch]

I hated watching much of the episode through the kino. It's a tired, overused trope that film makers trot out whenever they "wanna put you in the action." How about, just film the thing straight and just say the kino was floating around and got all the same events down. The picture looks bad through it and I'm not a fan of watching things that try to look bad on purpose.

Oh, the first episode of the season without that chick being a complete hose beast *****, but she was dead or unconscious through most of it. Eli ruled as always, agreeing with his recorded self, priceless, a very Rodney moment.

 

[Lord Blackbolt]

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

Did he and sam ever get married?

 

[wiegeabo]

In some cases the 'in action viewpoint' doesn't work, but I think it was well done in this case. And it made it much more effective when we realized they were watching the same images the same way we were watching them. I don't think it would have had nearly the impact if they had just said they got all the same events recorded.

 

[wiegeabo]

Did he and sam ever get married?

Nope.

 

[LadyVader]

I liked everything about the episode, both action and character development, except the f***ing aliens. Really? killer worms? After 10 seasons of wormy goa'ulds, that's the best you could come up with? I mean they already designed the sand creature vortex thingies so I know they have it in them, I was just disappointed when i say they were sticking to some ******** stereotype looking evil alien. That always heads for the chest no less. Why would an alien pick the most difficult part of human anatomy to burst through?

Just a minor nitpick of mine.

LOL what? You might not like it, but "killer worms" even though they were no where close to looking like worms is a heck lot more realistic than dust cloud aliens. As for going for the Torso.. hmm what is the largest part of the human body? Oh yes.. the Torso , which would be the easiest part of the human body to attack.

 

[LadyVader]

My complaint about the killer worms wasn't that they weren't realistic, but rather that it's a boring concept for an alien. I mean they already had alien worms in Stargate Sg1, but at least they were an intelligent species.

The chest is not the same thing as the torso. If they went for the stomach that's one thing, but most of the worms jumped on people's chest, where the sternum and the ribcage are, which are a heck of a lot harder to eat through.

 

[wiegeabo]

I seriously doubt the worms knew much about human anatomy. Just like leeches latch onto the first thing that presents themselves. These things jump, and when the hit something, they dig. And the way that one worm exploded out of Chloe's back, I don't think bones were that much of a hassle for them.

What other type of creature could they have used? There are worms on Earth that burrow into flesh. And why are they worms? Because that's the easiest shape to burrow with. And maybe these things are what the Ga'ould were like a million years ago before they became intelligent. (I think the Ga'oul probaby became intelligent by generation after generation latching onto brains and learning from their hosts, more than spontaneously developing it themselves.)

 

[The Squirrel]

The best episode so far.

I admit looking through the keeno was annoying, but as soon as the first teaser showed that they were watching it, it got acceptable.

 

[Wyrminarrd]

I hate time travel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Either we just watched an hours worth of the series that deals with an alternative universe from the one we have been watching so far or starting from next episode we will be watching an alternative universe

Either way this is just stupid and this is far from the first time that the writers of Stargate have made this mistake. I could tolerate it if our bunch had just been lucky and were benefiting from another reality having time traveled but having a second loop happen just ruins things.

Besides the time travel thing the episode was very good.

Worms? They looked alot more like land squids or facehuggers.

I love time travel! I was all over this episode.

Though I was the only one reminded of Alien with the whole worm thing?

 

[zedhatch]

I thought it was one of the best eps yet, finally something beyond basic survival (Air, water) and had a sci-fi element to it (time travel) very cool.

 

[Dr Lee]

Righty.... looks like TPTB have used the Kino webisodes to explain the end of the episode...

Linky

 

[Paradox1]

thats pretty cool I need more of those

 

[wiegeabo]

That's pretty cool.

I like the fact that they got both kinos. The only thing that would ever annoy me about time travel is when a timeline gets wiped out, and no one from the new timeline ever knows about the sacrifices made.

 

[wiegeabo]

Also, I completely empathized with Eli's view on death. That idea of what it's like scares the crap out of me too.

 

[Maximus One]

What was funny is that before the alien worms showed up Eli made a clear reference to Aliens. Talk about blatant foreshadowing

 

[C. Lee]

Eli makes references to lots of sci fi movies and TV shows....like real people would in that situation.

 

[RetroNaz]

Man, some of you people are hard to please. I thought the episode was great. The show finally gave us the things some people here have been complaining was lacking in recent episodes, but that's still not enough!?

it's a tv show, it requires consistency. One solid episode does not define the show as consistent.

 

[wiegeabo]

How about a whole series of solid episodes, which I feel like they've had. Action doesn't have to be the main focus of a series.

And I think people are forgetting how much time has passed in the show. We get an episode once a week, but each episode is like another day for them. So they've literally had day after day of **** happening (as Eli says in the kino vid).
