OMG--the synopsis for the second movie sounds like a comedy. That's just too funny. I wonder if Cooper thought it was supposed to be shocking, LMAO.

The first movie sounds BETTER.

No wonder RDA is still thinking about doing the movies and not signed on yet.

[Unamed]

these films sound amazing, i cant wait for Ark of truth

[ScifigirlSG]

The second movie sounds more like Ba'algate. I hope Jack puts an end to it!

[Fifer]

The Ark of Truth sounds terrific. I wonder who the other powerful enemy is since it states that SG-1 will be battling "two powerful enemies"?

[BJX]

They both sound really good.

"The Ark Of Truth" sounds huge. Seeing the supergate in the widescreen format will be great and I wonder who'll be Captaining the Odyssey and who is the second powerful enemy?

I really like the sound of "Continuum". The Goauld back as the big-bad invading enemy should be fantastic, especially since Brad Wirght is writing it.

[Starxgate]

The first movie sounds awesome I can't wait to see the defeat of the Ori The second movie sounds like a stand alone movie

[any_gopher]

Holy crap, these sound amazing...

I cannot wait! AoT will have two enemies... think maybe the second enemy will be a possible third series springboard? Or it could just be Baal, which is still fine by me. And Continuum, that sounds like it might have the feel of the old Goa'uld episodes, which is great because we haven't seen much Goa'uldiness with recent visual effects. Woohah!

[Starxgate]

We know one thing at least Baal will not go down without a fight

[BJX]

I wonder if Ba'al's planned execution will be by hanging. It would make a nice parallel with recent events.

[Starxgate]

I know most seem to have a problem with Baal being included in the second movie but think of it this way. At least they are giving his character a good ending instead of him just becoming a plot hole

Would be good if it was the enemy of the third series. It depends on the enemy. However, both movies sound good. Ark of truth soundsa awesome. I wonder how the ark of truth is different from the sangraal.

You know what I just realized? Rob or Brad, can't remember which, has said that they took the story arc from what was going to be season 11 and incorporated it into AoT. The Ark of Truth itself would probably have been something they were searching for, thus making season 11 just like many other seasons where our heroes spend the whole season searching for a relic of some sort (Lost City, Sangraal, then the Ark of Truth).

That would've been a bit redundant. Now that it's compressed into a movie, it breaks the trend in a sense. I'm suddenly very glad we're getting a movie series instead of the episodic sort! :-D

I think the Arch of Truth will be used against the ori followers, not the Ori themselves, the sangraal was the opposite.

The third series will be sprung from the 2nd movie--The Continuum. Even the synopsis has a major plot hole in it.

Spoiler:

How are they going to make it possible for Sam, Daniel and Mitchell to know something is wrong and still make Teal'c, Ba'al's first prime? Quetesh they could pull off becuase Vala would be a host again--thus have no control. Wouldn't Teal'c know something is wrong? How come they would all be standing at an execution that was never going to happen after Ba'al or his more likely, his clone, stole the gate? Wouldn't Daniel, Sam and Mitchell all have alternate lives? Like in mobiuses--how can they know that program existed if the time line was changed? I have no doubts that Cooper will brush this issue under the rug with some lame tech-no babble.
