Spoilers(I guess)*****************










Why do the Go'ald, specifically Baal have Asgard beaming tech necessary to steal the gates?

Thanks,

Greg

[jonno]

well, Baal's been on Earth for a while, and we now on Earth, people like the trust have got their hands on beaming tech, so why not Baal too?

Oh yeah welcome to the forum... have fun!

I'm a UK person so haven't seen the ep, so my answer may not be that great. Try the official ep discussion thread here: http://forum.gateworld.net/showthrea...91#post4914791

That was soooo much fun! I love Mitchell. They were such a team. I don't look for plot holes, I go by how much fun I had watching. I had fun.
No nitpicking from me.

What a great team ep!
So many great lines...
Mitchell: Oh please, Mary Poppins isn't even in the running.
Sam: Hey!

Teal'c: We are indeed suitably employed.

hoho, a memorable ep.

[NowIWillDestroyAbydos]

It was an interesting episode. I give it a ***. I love the last scene in the ep, it was funny.

[SG-1ssm]

I liked the episode. It was like the old show, sneeking around a gou'ld mother ship.

[Skydiver]

sg1 is running. under fire. this ain't good
they're trying to make it to the gate. which vanishes
d'oh

they're captured, slapped around a bit, rescued in the nick of time by a space ship we've never heard of using locator beacons we've never heard of before
(little too much plot device going on)

someone is stealing stargates

hem, haw, yak, yak and we find out that it's baal

he's snagging gates to build himself a new empire

course, we gotta stop him

twisted plot here and there and sg1 goes after baal in the made up space ship, finds the gates, pulls a double cross on the irritating fat goauld from earlier in the season, sneaks their way in
they try to steal back the gates, under fire and quite unsurprisingly, baal gets creamed, the lucian alliance is gonna be ticked at us and everyone goes home

not too bad although cam acts beyond bad and stupid in this one. he's way too OTT and acting like an adrenaline junkie in desperate need of a fix. sam, daniel and teal'c end up following him around and nearly getting killed cause cam has no self control

there's a little too much tell, not nearly enough show and in many ways the eps seems to be about 3 separate plots all cobbled together....either that or the writer was working on 3 scripts and they got caught by a gust of wind and mangled together

it defintely had its moments but did nothing to improve cam's reputation. it seems to me, instead of trying to boost him the writers seem to be trying to destroy him and what little credibility he has left

[shester]

I think Cam is a wonderful character. He is having fun and I am along for the ride. Such a wonderful team episode.

Ugh. So many things I didn't like in this episode. First, the whole jumping back 8 hours then jumping forward again. I hate it when shows do that, especially when they replay the scene when they get back to it. It's almost as if the writers just do it to waste time. It's annoying.

Second, where'd the P-90's go??? Those stupid guns they were using were so thin and small they looked like toys.

Third, the outfits. They didn't make sense at all. TPTB just made them that way to show off the muscles of BB, MS, and CJ. Sex appeal seems to be an increasingly large drive in all the SciFi friday shows.

Fourth, Teal'c cut his hair short again. It was looking kind of good. But now its too short to look good.

Fifth, the music during the Odyssey scene. Just overdramatic. So what, it's this ships first flight. Big deal, we don't need some corny music.

Sixth, the Landry/Nerus scene was stupid. It seemed like Landry kept giving him more and more food and Nerus wasn't telling him anything.

Seventh, why the heck did the Odyssey start firing on the Lucian Alliance ships??? First, you want them to keep firing to get Baal's shields down. That way you can beam stuff off. Second, why not just say "hey we're getting your stargates, just give us a second." They made an enemy out of the alliance for no reason at all.

I'm starting to give up on these shows.

Team? In season 9! YES! YES!! YES!!!.

I can just tell i'm going to enjoy this one on Tuesday!

*runs away to avoid any more spoilers*

I liked the part where they were in the casa field talking about who looks the most like a drug dealer and cam refered to sam as mary poppins that craked me up.

[F-302 Alpha]

Whatabout the involvemnet of the Odyssey in the ep?

[gatewonderer114]

Pretty good I think. Glad that a ship, not from Earth, was destroyed. The Odyessy looks cool, should be a good replacement for Prometheus.

[MarshAngel]

It was an OK episode. Entirely non-spectacular. I agree.. feeding Nerus accomplished nothing. But as to making an enemy of the Alliance... it was already too late. Seeing as how they'd pretty much executed SG1.

[Dani347]

hmm. I felt about this the same that I felt about Tuesday's episode of Gilmore Girls. Nothing made me scream in frustration, but nothing made me stand up and cheer either. Warning, if nitpicking gives you hives, bail out now. Or, read with the right ointment.

My first thought with the corn was, couldn't they think of some better way of introduce the actual plot? I mean, addictive corn? Hmm, wonder what an episode where the corn was the actual plot, with SG1 actually getting addicted might have been like.

I really didn't see Mitchell as being OTT. I was wondering if the whole them going off on the planet together was going to be the only time they were together, and then Mitchell would be separate from the rest for the majority of the episode. Glad that didn't happen.

Daniel whumping. Mitchell whumping. Results of Sam whumping. Did they just not hit Teal'c, or is it he doesn't bleed as easily as those puny humans?

Hmm, who would win as most pointless Goa'uld? Anubis or Nerus? Nerus wins for most stupid. And, small mercies that they didn't show whatever led to the food against the bars. Gag.

I don't know if they were going for comedy with the Rambo!Teal'c on the ship. The arms spread out at each side stance, the blast away in answer to Mitchell's what do we do now, the second arms spread out on each side thing, blasting away. It just seemed like, "Okay, Chris, we're going to let you show off those muscles in this episode."

At least Daniel didn't have his glasses off the whole episode. Who's to say that someone from wherever they were supposed to be posing as wouldn't wear glasses?

I prefer the flanged voice. Look at me go with my newly learned terminology! Is Ba'al dead, then? Or, is this another clone dead? Or, did anyone die?

Another freaking ship! Blow it up! Blow it up! Destroy! Destroy! Off screen, preferably.

That's about it, until I read other posts.

First, the whole jumping back 8 hours then jumping forward again. I hate it when shows do that, especially when they replay the scene when they get back to it. It's almost as if the writers just do it to waste time. It's annoying.

When did that happen?

[JUNIOR]

At first I thought the Odyssey looked sort of different on the front end than the Daedalus but then they used a stock clip from the Daedalus to show it in hyperspace. Maybe I was just hallucinating did anyone else think that the odyssey looked at little different than the Daedalus when it was hovering around earths orbit in its 1st shot?

[F-302 Alpha]

Any screen caps of the Odyssey yet?
