Stargate SG-1/Atlantis/Universe

[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.

 

[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 ... 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.

Yep, I have all the same comments you do.

I loved the Thor thing..
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.

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.
(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. But the insides of the wraith ship definetely looked creepy!

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.

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.

*left naked, with no memory, on a strange planet, not exactly the friendlist terms to end being "asended"*

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 *

 

[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.

Spoiler

Also, Daniel is at it again..after the girl.

Nice to see O'Neill hasn't lost his edge.

Spoiler

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.

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.

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.
