Ep: 2.20

Elin surprisingly approaches Horizon with a request for help with a plan that could very well end the Aschen civil war, and bring about a new era for the Aschen Confederation.

As most of you probably know, due to a technical delay we're currently releasing the episodes through the temporary links. However, in a way that's good for you, because as I'm putting them up myself they'll be up early - as in right now. It's either that, or pretty late tonight, and I think earlier rather than later is probably what we'd all prefer. ;)

So, with all the rumors going around about the fate of the Valiant in this episode (and it is nothing but rumors at this point), the episode itself should give some insight into that.

Enjoy. And as usual feel free to post your comments and discussions of the episode in this thread.

Again, since I didn't make much contribution to this episode in general, I'll post some thoughts about it. I know there's no need to post spoiler tags here, but I'll warn you that this post is spoiler ridden since the episode only premiered recently.



I didn't really like the Aschen arc (or episode, as it was only one at the time) after reading "Rise of the Aschen." It wasn't until "Glory of Bre'nok," when the Elin character started questioning his decisions, that the story started to intrigue me.

It seemed like the story would be forgotten for some time, but it was decided early on that we would need an "Aschen 3" to tie up some loose ends.

While the Aschen arc now has the potential to expand later on down the line (or maybe they'll never be heard from again, leaving us to ponder their fate), it would seem the Elin/Seeta arc has obviously concluded. For a while it seemed as though we would only kill one of them. Elin was the preferred choice, since Sivok had already been swayed from his old ways and we didn't want a repeat of his character. Eventually, it was decided that Seeta's story had ended as well.

I find it interesting and intriguing that roles were reversed in the end. I guess I'm into that tragic stuff, but I liked the idea that Seeta fought much of her life against the federation only to die while in favor of it. And Elin died having finally picked the right side.

We didn't want to go overboard killing Mollem, Seeta, and Elin in one act, but we felt that the story was over. The Aschen seem victorious, and Elin and Seeta lived to see their cause through.

Should the Aschen arc ever continue, at least we'll still probably as Tellus as a familiar face.

I have to say, considering that this episode was released so early, I was expecting some more comments by now.

Speak up, people. After all, we work our creative behinds off to bring you all these episodes on time. Least you can do is talk about them a little. ;)

Don't worry, I have plenty to say. However, I just don't have the time to say it, right now anyway. In less than 15 minutes, I'll be on my way to a plane to New York to be there for my cousin's confirmation, and I'll be there the whole weekend. I won't have internet access, or not very much, at best. When I get back, I have to do studying and such. However, on monday, I'll be writing reviews for both episodes that were recently released, as I wont have anything else to distract me from it (school ends for me on tuesday!).

Well I went into this thinking "give it a chance". By the end I still hate the Aschen and am somewhat glad their part in Horizon is done. But in the end, I rather liked Elin as a character. I really enjoyed the way the episode was playing out with flashes back to the past etc. It was well written too, it's just a shame the story didn't quite grab me. But I can't decide Good or Fair...Everything about it was good, apart from the fact it was Aschen based.

[SierraGulf1]

I felt the same way about "Glory of Bre'nok," actually. I still wasn't too interested in the Aschen arc, but I started to grow fonder of the individual characters, namely Elin. I did enjoy this one as an Aschen episode much more than the other two (especially "Rise"). Shame you can't really connect with these episode, but we do have the final four coming up which I do hope you'll like. :)

[Elite Anubis Guard]

One thing I saw coming, was Seeta not being dead - But it was interesting how her brainwashed. What I did like was you didn't have her change alligance, it would have been to...easy.

I don't know why but I really don't like Horizon episodes which feature old enemies somehow. I'm planning on re-reading Unseen sometime today, just to see if my opinion would have changed.

[Alex Rubit]

Well, I can't say that I don't like the Aschen. I'm not sure what they did that you hate them so much, EAG. Aside from being bad guys of course. :cameron:

Anyway. The Aschen civil war might be over, but I think it will be interesting to see what will become of the Aschen in the long run. In fact, theoretically we could even see them again, and they could be potential new allies. But nothing is for sure yet.

I am pretty sure we won't be seeing Elin, Seeta or Mollem again.

[Elite Anubis Guard]

I just hate them. They're my Salea. I hate the way most of them act and don't find them interesting.

It's tuesday now :cameron: And your family is christian?

[Lt. Colonel Ryu Gaia]

It's tuesday now :cameron: And your family is christian?
Yes, I am lazy. No, my family isn't Christian, but me uncle married someone who was, and their son wound up taking his mother's religion. It was his confirmation I went to.

I did'nt really get into the first 2 act but after that I started to really enjoy the ep. Love the twist with Seeta.

Though the Ashen are bad guy's I still found them weak. If you do bring them back please make them really really bad.:)

[Elite Anubis Guard]

They're not quite as devious as in SG1.

Jelgate's Two CentsAfter reading Aversion, this episode was a let down. Thats not saying it was a bad episode, but I found Aversion spectacular while this episode was mediocre. The way this episode was written leads meto believe that you are finshed with the Aschen arc. Killing off the main Aschen characters just leads and the end of the civil war tells me that we have seen the last of Aschen on Horizon.?* The roles were reversed?* on this episode. Speaking of that I almost had a heart attack when I saw Seeta, I thought she was clearly dead. When I saw her look leaving the interrogation room, I thought she was going to break the brain washing, guess I was wrong.?* There obviously some emotional angust for Grant when he saw Seeta and Elin die. At least they died saving their planet.?* The plan to knock out the electric magnetic devices on the Aschen homeworld was brillant not to mention risky. It was pure luck that the Aschen didn't spot them. That would have been cool to see Valiant dodging Aschen ships and launching the emitters 3/5 This off topic but I was lurking on Horizon forum and found this .
