SG-U – Subversion (1x18) - (Discuss – Grade | SPOILERS)
- Thread starter Agent Richard07
- Start date
Now this ep definitely made up for the craptastic episode last week. What a fantastic episode, Excellent, 10, A+ all around.
It was great seeing a couple of the old gang, and they used them really well here, and the more serious tone of SGU really does work with the SG-1 characters, even Jack. I noticed he was his old self, and had a little humor it, and somehow it just worked really well with the tone of SGU, didn't feel odd or out of place, which shows that they can do it.
I can't wait to see what happens next. Great seeing Goa'uld cargo ship again, and a pyramid, ah the good ole Egyptian theme, you are still there! Yep, this episode impressed, and it looks like next week will be equally as impressive. The stones were used for a great purpose finally, this shows how they can be used properly in this show, stuff like this, works perfect and it is awesome having the stones there as a plot device to allow episodes like this, we need more of this!!!!!!!!!111

Probably the worst of the series so far. O'Neil was practically just standing around doing nothing... again. Jackson too... I liked his last appearance better. I just don't see how anybody actually watched this episode in post production and said "yeah, this will do".
I've enjoyed the past 6 episodes or so a lot, but this was just extremely boring.

9 Chevrons... Very good! One of the better episodes of the season for sure.
And I guess we know what next weeks episode title "Incursion" means now.

I just don't get why Jackson was super spy. At that point, they might as well have brought back Vala or someone from Atlantis.
Also, the Lucian Alliance is such a silly enemy. A poor man's Goa'uld, really.

I didn't care to much for Wray once again being "you keeping secrets is why the military needs to be locked up" but overall, a pretty damn good episode.
Daniel was sent out in the field to be the tail, as they weren't sure how deep the Lucien Alliance had infiltrated the SGC.
All in all a pretty solid episode.

Best episode yet.

I don't know, it seemed pretty solid reasoning to me. The civilians have always been under the thumb of the military and then one of their own, one of their greatest assets, is being put in harm's way without the situation being explained to them.

Seems too easy to make the jerk Telford also a traitor. Still not sure why his residual memories were scene by Scott and Rush. They almost explained it, then backed away...oh, it wasn't brainwashing.
Yes, the Lucian Alliance blows, even with Rhona Mitra in charge.
Rush is gonna come back to a battered body.

I guess having them there and O'Neill and Jackson will make all the "This isn't Stargate" types happy. I was glad that SG-U was going to be leaving those type of generic baddies behind, oh well.
So is Telford...

So is Telford.
I liked how, despite everything, Young was hoping to believe the Telford was brainwashed instead of traitor. Of course, that allowed Telford to gloat that he wasn't brainwashed, and confess. And O'Neill immediately agreed to "go to the next level" of questioning.
Not familiar with the Lucien Alliance--background?
I don't know how generic they'll be. Telford did have some pretty valid points.
The Lucien Alliance is a crime syndicate operating in the Milky Way. They use stolen Goa'uld ships and technology, because there's really a hell of it lying around what with all of them being dead. They managed to amass a considerable amount of power for a gang of thugs by taking advantage of the power vacuum left by the fall of the Goa'uld. One of their rackets was trafficking in a staple grain they'd genetically engineered to become addictive. After they tried to capture the Odyssey, Earth officially declared war on them.

I think those are two sepatate things.

Perhaps but the US never used nukes in Korea or Vietnam. i know there is no super power shielding the Alliance but it seems higher beings do give and withdraw consent in granting technology in the larger Stargate verse.
That didn't bother me as they did that stuff all the time on SG-1. In fact, as I think about it, the SG-1 team did a lot of stuff that they probably had no business doing and should have left to other professionals.
