Stargate SG-1/Atlantis/Universe

[LadyVader]

The ties that bind
Sweet Irony, thy name is woman! Hehe.
This whole episode was centered around ironic situations:
- Daniel is forced to live with Vala, a woman he despises.
- Daniel, Vala, Mitchell and Teal'c go through all that trouble, for nothing
- Stargate Command is losing out to Stargate Atlantis, which is located a billion gillion miles away, in other galaxy!
- For once, the civillians get to kick some ass, though most of the times in this show civilian organisation have been the shtooopid bad guys, that don't know what's good for them. Now that is ironic!

 

[OobeDoobBenubi]

I highly HIGHLY doubt Vala will become a key character of the show. All will be well again when Sam comes back & Vala will go home & come back for visits when she needs something & makes you wonder with most of the money going to Atlantis it is safe to say Daniel will eventually end up there as he IS a civilian after all & if it were NOT for him there would be NO Atlantis. Makes you wonder what is going to happen after that second Gate once SG1 is done.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I'm really looking forward to Sam's return. The few episodes so far have been all right, but I didn't notice how much Carter contributed to the series until I had to watch this many episodes without her in them. 2 more weeks, though. Then Carter returns and SG-1 can finally become SG-1 again.

 

[Happenstance]

I dont think the return of Carter will fix the show for me, ive been enjoying it still but I just dont like Mitchell now. Hopefully with the return of Carter it will help the show (for me at least) but I doubt it. Obviously I will still watch and SG1 is my fav show on at the moment.

MvTrlrMsc you do realise that Daniel is a CHARACTER IN A SHOW dont you? If Michael Shanks doesnt want to go over to Atlantis once SG1 finally finishes no amount of you explaining why Daniel would be there matters at all. And just to clarify, even though money is being taken out of the SGC to be put towards atlantis the earth gate would never be closed. There is the obvious fact that they need it to connect to atlantis without having to send a ship everytime, earth has offworld allies which it contacts using the stargate and there are a lot of mining operations going on off world which wouldnt just stop because the exploration is done. They need trinnium and naquada to say the least.

 

[OobeDoobBenubi]

Um yes I do know that if Michael doesnt want to do Stargate anymore there wont be no Daniel in Atlantis. I am not stupid / ******ed I wish people would learn to NOT just think they are by one post but oh wait it's the internet & that is all it is good for.

 

[Happenstance]

Well what am I supposed to think, you already stated that you think he will be on Atlantis but you still go on about it. Nearly all of your posts are just pointless, yes we get that you are watching the seasons on dvd but all we hear from you are questions about something you will find out later anyway and hearing you constantly go on about O'Neill and Thor.

 

[OobeDoobBenubi]

No one is forcing you to answer my questions. You got to learn to IGNORE if not then stay away from here if you have a problem answering questions.

 

[Happenstance]

I dont have a problem with answering questions. Its just the fact that you were going through the dvds anyway so there didnt seem any point to them.
I quite enjoy answering stargate questions coz i like talking about the show. Id rather get on with you and not have to ignore you but I think its just the way you post that winds me up, you post the littlest things that you've just watched in an episode.

 

[Superfreak]

Daniel will never make it to atlantis because of the irony. He wanted to go with Weir the first time, jack says nope. He wanted to go on the Daedelus, fate says nope. It'll go on like that... it'll be one of those funny on going jokes. Daniel wants to go to Atl. so badly, but can never ever make it there.

And besides, even though Daniel is the expert on the ancients, he's got bigger fish to fry right now... way bigger than checking out the city. Remember that ascended ancients are way more powerful than coporeal ancients. Daniel has a lot more work to do ever since the introduction of the Ori. There is far more important things for him to learn, discover and aquire in our galaxy and contact with the Ori, than with the expedition team on atlantis

 

[OobeDoobBenubi]

I bet the government will re consider cutting SG1's budget when the Ori comes to attack earth I'm sure the next few episodes will start the planning stages. Although since these guys arent really the space type enemies should be interesting

 

[Happenstance]

They are going to be "space type enemies" aswell. You hear them say that they will start building ships.

 

[OobeDoobBenubi]

Ah yeah okay. But hey once the Ori comes & start attacking & most of earth's stuff end up useless the Ori will in a way help / save Stargate Command then get killed

 

[LadyVader]

I can't believe the US military can be so ******ed though. "We have the technology to build space ships, that's all we need". Jesus Christ man, this world has so many other problems and they're like : "Oh we can go into space now. Whop-dee-doo! ". What about poverty man, what about diseases and wars and the ozone lair, etcetera etcetera etcetera!? You actually think people are gonna care about going into space when they are starving to death!?
What about looking for the technology that can actually make a difference in people's lives?

I would direct your attention to the real NASA. Which spends billions sending probs to Mars, 60% of which fail to even get to the Martian surface. Also they spent 200 million on a probe so they could launch it at a comet to see what would happen.

Besides most of the alien tech the SGC has goten it's hands on is military in nature, or interplanetary travel realted. Really a hyper drive is only good for sapce travel. The most practical thing they have goten is the Naquada generators and they are years away from practical (read powerstation sized) applications. Maybe the anit-grav and crystal computer stuff aswell.

But the biggest hurdle in using these things to better the human race is that it would require NATO and Russia and China to admit that.
1.Aliens have been threating to destroy earth for 9 years and we have only avoided it through blind luck
2.That the religous beliefs of billions of people is based on the ****ship of parasitic aliens (Indian Hindus, Chinese and Japanese traditional religions)
3.The US has been representing earth interstellarly for 9 years.

I missed th beginning of the season!

I MISSED IT!

and I truned it on two weeks ago to find that it's become an Andromeda/Farscape clone.

SG:1 is practically dead, there is no interest there for me at all.

And Atlantis..well..they not have the oblicatory, black dreadlocked man.

I have fallen in love with Atlantis more and more. *Please scratch any previous Atlantis bashing I did in this thread*

Hopefully the rest of the season will be about as good.
and WOW this thread has grwon...

 

[Happenstance]

Yeah it is starting to see like an Andromeda/Farscape clone but I would give it a chance if I were you.

Vala being in it has really filled the comedic hole since RDA left so far and even though she wont be in it the whole season it definately was great to see her and Daniel bouncing off eachother.

Col Mitchell for me started off ok in the 1st episode but has gone downhill from there. I know a lot of people are actually liking him but I tend to get irritated when he has a line and sometimes just when he appears onscreen.

Im hoping that the show will start to feel more like SG1 when Carter and Teal'c return to the team fulltime and (as ive been going on about) we at least get some information on why O'Neill has left even though it was established at the start of Season 8 why it was only he could be a military commander of the SGC.

mitchell is alright,,, what annoying about him is not his fault. All he does is talk talk talk... but the writers are yet to have him do anything. The season opener has been the Daniel and Vala show, with cameo's from mitchell and teal'c. Once they stop this Daniel vs. Vala tripe, then I think we'll actually get to see mitchell do something

 

[OobeDoobBenubi]

All they need to do is bring back the guy who played Rhade in Andromeda that was in a few episodes of Stargate Sg1's earlier season's then Stargate = Farcaspe & Andromeda all n one.

Im willing to give him another chance but at this point I dont see th character changing enough for me to like, just doing more really

well, he already got layed by the 4th episode... That's definately faster than RDA got some on the show, or tapping for that matter

 

[Happenstance]

Lol, well that doesnt make me like him anymore than I did before.

 

[Emerald Knight]

According to one of my best friends, the show should now be "Fargate" (for all those ATHF geeks out there ) seeing as how half of the crew as of lately has been half Farscape (Crichton and Aeryn) and half SG-1 (Daniel and Teal'c)

 

[Superfreak]

Lol, well that doesnt make me like him anymore than I did before.

well, that's one of 2 things he's got going for his character. 1) He's an ex-cripple, and 2) he's a stud

 

[Happenstance]

Well im sure those are good enough for u. For me they just arent enough :P

I just hope they dont push Carter back too much, so far General Landry keeps going straight to Mitchell even though nearly everyone else at the SGC has loads more experience. Its just a bit stupid.

Mitchell is all Landry's got. Sam's not there, Jack is gone, Teal'c is gone. Landry has a choice between Daniel and Mitchell. Mitchell is trained, Daniel is a civilian. There is no one else for Landry to turn to when in need of some off world humping.

I think Mitchell will be cool, once they finally get him to do something worthy of his position as second command of the mountain
