Far from being the best episode ever

i agree but it was a nice way to end the season

Well they managed to defeat Anubis (*sigh*) for time time being. Apparently he returns for a episode in season eight as far as spoilers go! Great effects of the Ancients and hopefully we'll see more Ancient weapons and resources in season eight and Atlantis

can't think how this would spoil anyone, but just in case... [spoiler space followed by snarky response to end of LC pt2]

For me, the ending did not work AT ALL. Yes, it was supposed to be an angst fest, but I was LMAO, because all I could think was "Hey, they've solved the Jack-lite problem... just get a lifelike wax replica, encase in lucite, put it on a dolly and roll throught scenes as needed." Jack appears whenever they want him and RDA doesn't even have to show up.

I'm pretty sure that's not what they were going for. Aside from that, I definitely rank LC 1&2 among the better eps of the season.

I was also thinking that should fetch quite a lot at a props auction.

Anubis · #9 June 13th, 2004, 04:11 AM

I think the chair that O'Neill sat in would raise a few eyebrows

omnian · #10 June 13th, 2004, 04:16 AM

To be honest this seemed very rushed to me. I mean, they go to the fire planet, get the power source, come back, go to the outpost and save the Earth. All in 41 minutes. Had it been spread out over the two episodes I think this would have worked really well.

Anubis · #11 June 13th, 2004, 04:21 AM

I think it would have worked a lot better over the two episodes. I think part one could have ended with them getting the power source

SGSlugger · #12 June 13th, 2004, 09:31 AM

The first episode kinda seemed like a waste to me. I mean, Jack sat filling in a crossword puzzle for the first five minutes in his truck! I thought that we would see more of the battle taking place over head. It ended too soon IMHO.

I agree though, that it was one of the better episodes.

Crazedwraith · #13 June 13th, 2004, 09:43 AM

My feelings form this ep can be sumed up in one quote:

"So the lost city..is still lost?" -Jack 701 "Fallen"

You have big cool episode entitled "The Lost City" And the lost city isn't in it?!?!?

I also think an ending wouldn't have been to much to ask for not this just idea that'll "we'll just freeze Jack and then fade to Black"

BTW SGSlugger: if you want to talk about Pt1 well there is a Part 1 thread you know? (Watches my reputation thingie sink even lower)

Arg! I can't take more than one away!

Just kiddin'.

Yeah I know, I'm just too lazy to go and post in it. And since it was beginning to go onto it fit better over two eps, I thought why not.

I agree the whole 2 parter seemed rushed to me. But if you consider that they originally intended it to be a movie (approx 120 minutes) they had to trim it down to make it fit into the 88 that they have with 2 episodes. So while I wish it hadn't been so rushed I can sort of understand why it was. I'm hoping there are some "missing" scenes on the DVD since they are going to be making the 2 episodes one on the DVD. (You know just like they did with CotG) I can hope anyway

erm.. "Children of the Gods" orignially aired as a single episode.

There were some good parts and bad parts in this episode, but mostly it was good.. Except the ending.. Well it wasn't really an ending. It seems like they ran out of time and said okay, this is the end. See ya later. Not even a to be continued.

Good point, the first time I was CotG was on Scifi and it was done in two parts.

However that doesn't change the fact that the playtime for CotG, on my DVD, is almost 97 minutes which is 8-9 minutes over the standard 88-89 minutes for 2 episodes. And that's the kind of thing I'm hoping they'll do with The Lost City since they are going to be making it one episode on the DVD.

I always took that as come back and watch next week too!

Of course once you've watched a few times then you're more likely to come back next week too.

SGSlugger · #18 June 13th, 2004, 09:08 PM

I would think that a three-parter would have been better. The time of those three eps would equal (give or take) the rough time of a movie version. I'd like to get a copy of the movie script to see where they differ.

Anubis · #19 June 14th, 2004, 02:16 AM

My guess is that they don't differ much. They beat Anubis and then find the Lost City in Antartica and it flies away!

They are? Where did you hear that? CotG is a "special" episode in that it is the pilot. All the other two-parters on all the (R1) DVDs are intact as individual episodes, not run together as a single episode.
