Well! The season premiere is over and now I'm watching the kick ass battle in SGA. Anyways....

Um... did they forget their plan to dial the supergate first so the Ori cant dial in? If I remember correctly the gate turned off. So shouldnt they activate it? Or do something better then just leave another scout?

Lucian Alliance still is stupid.

Whats her face the kid has creppy eyes.

Not a bad episode really! I'm hopeful of season 10.

I'm the first post! Whoo hoo!

Back to SGA.

I did not enjoy last season, so I decided if I didn't like this episode I'd stop watching Stargate. Though, the show is looking up a little bit from last season.

At least, the 'One more reason for the males of this galaxy to believe in the Ori' line was funnier than any one-liner from last season.

Also, it looks like the writers are getting back to relying on the wits of the characters instead of just making everything deus ex machina.

And the daughter is much more interesting than I expected her to be. Though I wish Daniel didn't wuss out of shooting her. Maybe he could have shot and the priar stopped the bullet. That would have set the tone 'Daniel is not going to hesitate to do what's necessary to stop the Ori'.

Though, I was confused about Landry's hostility toward Woolsey. Sure, the Antarctica weapon might not work. But it might, so why not try? It seemed to me he was resisting a good idea just because it came from somebody he didn't like. Or so they wouldn't have to spend on the special effects.

That's the one good thing about Battlestar Galactica not being until October. Now, I might actually be able to enjoy Stargate.

The last scene in the ep was basically saying we're going back to our roots for this season. It looks to be good. Maybe like DS9 during the Domimon war good.

That was actually very entertaining if you overlook the implausibility of all that convenience beaming, particularly that last one with Daniel and Vala. Why would they drop their shields unless they intended to let them go.

IMForeman · #6 July 14th, 2006, 09:06 PM

"This isn't war! This is Pest Control!"

Talk about one sided! Regardless of what Sam said, this is much, much worse than when they first encountered the Goa'uld. Nothing they have thrown at the Ori have mattered in the slightest. They really need to find something, or the Ori are unstoppable.

"You are superior in only one respect... you are better at dying!"

Good episode. I see great potential for Season 10 (compared to the crappy 9th season). Cam is getting better and better every episode.

captainpash · #8 July 14th, 2006, 09:07 PM

They had landed you can't land with a shields up. It would be kinda hard. The bubble around the ship and all.

Well, it was on the ground, wasn't it?

I second that. Granted the toddler sounded like well, a toddler singing lines but that's to be expected. Other than that she was really fascinating in all her incarnations. I almost wish she didn't have to grow up so quickly.

I'm not sure why that matters. It was hovering over the city. Why would they feel the need to lower shields? I know, the battle is irrelevant but there should be a reason for everything.

I wish they'd stuck with the Jodelle Ferdland version for a while. That girl is creepy.

Daniel always hesitates. That's his job, he is the consience of the show.

That said, I thought it was a pretty good way to start the season.

Too bad about Chekov...I rather liked him.

Earth really needs to get better ships. They just keep getting their donkey's kicked.

I rather enjoy Adria. If they keep the character going with a sufficiently voiced gifted actor, I think she'll be a great focal for the season. Hopefully they don't kill her off until the end of the season.

Glad too see Claudia Black finally getting a ring credit, hopefully they'll make her a bit less silly. I like silly, but she needs to be more than a source of consternation for Daniel. She should have a fairly prominent role this season, being the spawner of evil and all that.

Can't wait for next week.

Okay, I might have missed it, but why couldn't they beam Daniel up before they did? Like, as soon as they found out he was on the ship? And, except for a couple of mentions, didn't seem to be much thought about him. *blatantly ignoring any potential cracks about my interest in having the team concerned about Daniel* Well, Sam did seem happy to hear from him.

Speaking of ships, I still find stories that happen on them to be dull. Booring.

What, did the producers decide that Teal'c hadn't been getting his full share of being captured and tortured?

Kvasir! Saving Sam. Working with Sam. I'm telling you it's love, love baby!

Ugh. Still hate the Ori, hate the whole baby thing. Hate the phrasing. Couldn't Vala's husband (what'shisface) say he wanted to save her instead of her soul? Or just stick to saying they want people to be on the path to enlightenment instead of salvation? And, not say anything is blasphemy? But, it was good to hear them talk about genetically altering Adria, and that she wasn't actually Ori, but created to be as close as possible, and not in their image, but in human's image. And, mentioning the battle between the Ancients, that she thinks the Ori need to destroy people to defend themselves from the Ancients. Plus, having Adria thinking that the Jaffa could be turned to origin, but still wanting to kill them.

Not much stood out. Like I said, ships don't interest me. Ori don't interest and disturb me.

Hopefully next week will have less Ori, and more team together for majority of the episode.

I tell you what the most amazing thing the difference in character of Cam from this season compared to last. Personally I did not enjoy the manner in which he spoke to Bra'tec. I was thinking to myself that maybe if it was any other person, he would kill him where he stands for saying something like that.

ussrelativity · #16 July 14th, 2006, 09:18 PM

Definetely can't wait for next week!

Pharaoh Atem · #17 July 14th, 2006, 09:26 PM

there did i great job tieing in everything from the space battle and the ori ships look cool especially on a planet

adria is going to be cool

i'm really looking froward to this season great start

Skydiver · #18 July 14th, 2006, 09:31 PM

not bad, not fantastic. little draggy in places and, imho, very much a simple

let's put all the toys away from last season and get our clothes out so we can be ready for the next 19

no awe inspriring revelations, not

moments...just a way to kill an hour

I think the biggest thrill i had was when the atlantis credits rolled and i saw Kavan's name

Seshat · #19 July 14th, 2006, 09:53 PM

Gotta love that Will Waring!

I thought he crammed more action and cuts into this one ep than almost all of last season combined. In fact, there was so much backstory and explanatory exposition that I thought someone new to the show might get seriously lost early on. I'm not sure they can keep up this pace, or would want to, but it was much more entertaining to me than all the old memory-wiping machine and space corn stories of last season combined.

I'm glad the kid is growing up radically fast. I hate super-baby stories, but it looks like she'll be an adult by next week and just another full-grown adversary they must outwit all season long. I can live with that.

What is Sam's job this season supposed to be exactly? I mean, her purpose? Everyone else seems to have a seasonal story arc all laid out by this first ep except her. Even Kvasir has some of her usual "saves the day" techniques in her place. Maybe we are seeing the birth of Super!Kvasir instead of Super!Sam??

LOL4JACK · #20 July 14th, 2006, 09:58 PM

I liked it, definitely much, much better than last years... now I just need some more mentions of Jack and I'm a happy camper.

At the beg of the ep I had the sensation that it was a movie based on SG-1, but then when our characters started to get together I had the feeling that we were back to my TV show...

Loved, Sam, liked Vala, loved the Daniel is dead again thing... Teal'c plssss he has no more symbiot give him a break with the torture

we can really loose him now... and Cam... definitely better written...

Looking forward for more SG-1!!!! or SG-1 + 1
