Stargate SG-1/Atlantis/Universe

[Superfreak]

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.

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. 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.

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

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...

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

Spoiler

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 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!

 

[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.

Spoiler

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.

 

[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."

 

[Superfreak]

"Daniel."
"Jack."

"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."

"Forget it, I'm not falling for it this time, yeah, how many times have you thought he was gone, and then he shows up in one form or another? I'm sorry, we're not having a memorial service for someone who isn't dead. YOU HEAR THAT, I'M NOT BUYING IT"

"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.
