Stargate SG-1/Atlantis/Universe

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. Not as much as I would've wanted, but heck... I take what I can get.

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!

Poor Teal'c, they kill off everyone he's ever truly loved but his son gets freakin married, what a jip

You people aren't blacking out your spoilers!

 

[TheCorpulent1]

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.

 

[Lord Blackbolt]

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

 

[LadyVader]

Jonas went back to his planet after Daniel came back.

damn the mpaa,,, too bad there actions don't work... all I did was a google search and found alternative sites...


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

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.

OKAY

[ spoiler ] Blah blah blah [ /spoiler ]

Now..take the spaces out between the brackets and the word 'spoiler' you get..

Spoiler

Blah blah blah

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.

All I wanted to say now I'm gone..

*runs out with eyes closed*

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

Spoiler

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.

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)

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

Michael Shanks rules.

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.

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

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.
Now for the romantic side of the episode... A minute, Jack? Is that the best you can do?
hehe

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Good thing that that timeline was erased, 'cause they'd never have gotten the stains out of the Jumper.

Congratulations to Amanda Tapping who gave birth to a bouncing baby girl: Olivia!
