Re: SG-U – Incursion Part2 (1x20) - (Discuss – Grade | SPOILERS)
I didn't care for this whole LA plot but I was just kind of going with it and enjoying this episode for what it was when the damn cliffhanger came in. I guess being the third part already it didn't occur to me they were going to do that and it really took the wind out of my sails. Rather than chomping at the bit for the conclusion I more found myself disappointed by not having an ending and the flaws suddenly becoming more apparent.

Ah, that's probably closer than what I was hearing. Though there's still the matter of the new season two characters...
I really hope they're just part of this group who we just convientally didn't see. Yeah, it's contrived, but not as much as a third planet fitting the uber rare Icarus properties.
Someone help me out here. Who were the two guys duking it out in the med bay when TJ got shot? It looked like the one who lunged up off the table was a Destiny soldier, and the one who grappled with him was the sympathetic LA guy everyone keeps referring to. (And who then got the drop on the Destiny soldier and shot him.) Do I have that right? It was hard to see who was who.
^No, the room had some injured LA people and an injured soldier. The soldier tried to attack the other LA people in the room but in the struggle the gun fired randomly, hitting T.J. and others, until Varro (Mike Dopud's character, the one T.J. performed surgery on) killed him.
I just got back in town and watched it last night. I don't like shows where everyone gets shot like that, especially TJ getting shot in the stomach. And Telford and whats-her-name. Why did they get shot in the torso and then both immediately lose consciousness? That doesn't work that way.
I feel that he is going to stick around and be sorta a love interest for TJ next season.
Boooooorrriiinngggggg...... zzzzzzzzzzzzzz
What a snoozefest. Symbolic of this entire horrible, dull, bore of a show with the most unlikeable characters on tv.
I won't bother wasting my time with season 2, can't deal with watching people argue and yell at each other. Most of all Young and Rush.
Clueless writers.

You know it's bad when Cliff Simon, the actor who played Baal, disses the show. Then again, he wants to come back as Baal on SGU, but that could only be a good thing.
I didn't think the finale was too bad, although it was drawn out a bit. Could have been done in a 1 hour episode. But I though the final shot of the colonel looking up with the music was pretty good editing.
Let's face it, his answer to its "problems" would be "more Baal".
Wouldn't be a bad thing. Baal was a fun character, and Cliff Simon is a cool guy and great actor. There could still be some clones left that SG1 didn't find.
The episode was quite good. I can't understand why the scientists working with Rush don't gang up on him to make him a bit more tactful. Sure I get tired of all the sniping among CTU personnel in 24 but some of his comments are so brutal I can't believe nobody apart from Young would call him out given how closely they work together. At least the female scientist (whose name escapes me) cut Young off before he could start shouting.
It's nice to see Wray get a crash course in hostage negotiation and failing miserably. I don't think she should be put in the position where she's always wrong, particualrly as Young seems so war-weary and prone to weak/questionable decision-making.
It was nice to see the Chloe love triangle resolved (or at least moved on to the next level) in a really low-key and adult way for a change.
The pace (as ever) was a bit slow but it was picking up nicely when the episode finished - dammit. I liked that they have left seeds to suggest that half a dozen of the characters could die (Lt 'Hooters' James seems safe since she was entirely absent). I thought I saw a bit of blood on TJ so it may be that the baby sub-plot is going to be axed once the actress has given birth - I hope she wants to come back as it will be hard to run the ship without a medic!

His over the top, arch villainy would be completely out of place on this show.
Weakest 1st season finale of any Stargate show to date. Mostly because the pacing was almost glacially slow, and the writing was uninspired at best.
Will any of the main characters die? Almost certainly not(although if one or more does, that would elevate things a good deal).
The back half of the season had really picked things up and was stronger by far then the first half, but the two Incursion episodes were really a weak end to the season.

If I remember things correctly we are getting some new writers for season two?
I hope they work out stargate could do with some new blood on the writing staff.

Perhaps but then Universe needs to take a 180 to become a Stargate. I would rather see a Baal then recordings of Danial Jackson or Earth scenes of O'Neill in a dark pentagon office.
Since when was Baal over the top? Considering the fact that he's a Goa'uld, he's been pretty subtle and competent every time we've seen him. And let's face it, he's the only villain with an actual reason to take the Destiny, so he can build himself an empire where the SGC can't get him.
