teacake does Stargate: punch it

[teacake]

Spam away!! And I'm pretty sure I have seen that

And go ahead and drag the discussion back to season 4 any time. Are you enjoying it? I think more highly of the series every season!

(Someone one will now solemnly tell me certain seasons suck LOL)

[lurok]

I'm definitely enjoying more second time around. Even Urgo, which I was a bit meh about first time. I love all the little references, especially the Oz ones. And I'm still waiting for an episode with a really bad guest star. Vancouver must have the best faces around And it was fun seeing the Tollin (?) capital again after rewatching BSG.

I think that location is actually a university in Vancouver and a lot of sci-fi shows film there. Understandable, I guess. It really does look like a futuristic/alien city.

Fallout:Jonas returns looking like something out of Logan's Run. Points for interesting fashion with the Langarans we see. Great ep, nice surprise and good drama. Kind of confused by the whole "an explosion caused this problem, we need another explosion to fix it" deal but whatever

I loved it when the Goa'uld descends into the belly of the earth wearing only a singlet and sandals:

Fallout is proof that SG1 might've worked better as an emsemble show. It showed us what could've happened if Jonas had not left the series and I thought it worked out rather well. The ep. was also written by Corin Nemic.

^ Funny that when the actors write an episode, their characters usually seem to get a romance.

There's one weird thing about that episode and it's nice that Joseph Mallozzi recognized that too.

"It was a lot of fun although one element in the story didn't quite pan out -- specifically, Jonas Quinn's love interest, a fellow Langaran named Kianna. On the day the first dailies came in, we were horrified to discover that both actors had unnervingly similar hairstyles that, as a result, made them look like they were related. Which, in turn, made some of the romantic scenes a little ... weird?"

[teacake]

Haha, I just put it down to that 70's sci fi look where everyone looks the same. The rest of the Langarens were diverse though so that excuse doesn't really work.

Sorry to backtrack again, but just watched that clunky Rene/alien Nazis episode and thought it odd writers missed a chance to throw in obvious historical parallel (US utilising Nazi science to advance space tech). Oh well. Also had crazy thought where wondered if anyone had done Trek/Stargate crossovers? It feels like you could use secret tech they acquire as in-universe rationale for why Trek has ships when we clearly won't

Death Knell: This was a somewhat choppy episode. Carter fleeing the Robo-Goa'uld alternating with Tok'ra politics. Everything about the Tok'ra is a win for me, their isolationist past, their vulnerability because of declining numbers, their almost cult like group. Let's hope "death knell" doesn't refer to seeing a whole lot less of them.

Heroes Part 1: It's Artie! And at one point he pauses in his list of what Daniel Jackson does and says "artifacts"

I really liked this red haired guy. He's cute and engaging and excitable. Hopefully does not die in part two.



And we got..

O'Neill: "I hope shots of my ass serve you well."

[The Wormhole]

Walter explaining the scope of his job was the highlight of that episode for me.

Rodney on the Enterprise? WIN!!!!

And yes to Walter's job explanation,

Heroes Part Two:












VALE the beautiful Doctor Janet Frasier.

WHY did they have to kill her off like that

A stunning woman who I always enjoyed looking at. I will miss her very much.

Yea, it was tough holding back the tears and not saying anything when you declared your concern for the red head boy making it through Part 2 alive

[teacake]

And I would like to thank everyone posting in this thread for never having spoiled it, I was quite shocked. I got teary when Wells (?) named his infant daughter Janet.

This is very sad. Did the actor want to leave? She was really a delight and quite slashy with Carter a lot of the time.
