Wow, phenomenal episode. I honestly enjoyed every iota of it – and I loved the interaction between Teal’c and Mitchell. The very last few minutes were indeed clever thinking on behalf of Mitchell, and I liked the way they’ve developed his character. Carter was very nice, and I feel terrible for Emmerson. He was such a nice guy.

Overall: ****

[Pharaoh Atem]

now this is what SG-1 should be great story good acting and sadly a sudden and sad death loved pissed off teal'c and cam did great.

Odyssey took a hell of a beating but overall solid episode had a season 9 feel to it

[Descent]

This was a great episode, offered a very dark (and welcome) look inside the Lucian Alliance. Plus, the humor was just great. It will be interesting to see what this declaration of war on the Alliance will mean for the future.

9/10 from me

[coolove]

This episode was better than I expected. I liked it.

[jburrows]

Great episode.

[DeathKneeler]

IMHO. I thought it was one of the better ones so far. Everybody did a great job and glad to see Teal'c lose that calmness for a change. Sam as always was awesome!!

Good episode, loved that scene at the end with Marks and Daniel. Sad Emerson got killed off. Now we officially have the record as "Longest Running SciFi Show in American History," Stargate SG-1 203 episodes, The X-Files 202 episodes.

Next weeks looks awesome.

seeing inside the lucian alliance was cool, and showing the depeth of one of SG-1's enemies

keep up the good work sg-1

[chazevelt]

Loved it. Love 'em all. Good work, cast & crew!

[Skydiver]

better than i expected. little too much super cambo saves the day, but it could have been a lot worse

at least the odyssey folks got to save themselves before the hewo came in and saved the day

I find it really, really funny that netan lives in fear of ticking off the tauri, and earth could care less about them

Loved to see Teal'c get angry about being tortured!! I know I would be...

Warning: Insensitive and shocking comment about to be posted. When Emerson (?) got shot, I laughed. I knew he was going to get killed at some point, because of spoilers, although I didn't know it was this episode. But, with the shows love of big explosions (especially being on a ship) and cgi sparks and stuff, I never expected something so simple as getting shot. Yes, I'm a mean, evil, wretched person. Still laughed.

Why was Sam on the ship in the first place? I missed the explanation.

The typical Stargate recipe now? Team must always split up along these lines - Daniel and Vala. Mitchell and Teal'c. Sam alternating between one or the other pair, depending on the episode. Garnish with some Teal'c torture. Bake and serve. So nice to have consistancy, isn't it? (Where's that sarcasm smilie when you need it?) Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know the comments I'm going to receive about this little section of my post. I'm just being controversial all the way around with my bad self.
I was surprised to find out that it was really Mitchell at the end. I'm assuming I was supposed to be surprised, so that was good.

The episode felt unfinished to me. It was about 2 minutes to the end when I checked the clock, and I was thinking there was at least half an hour worth of things to put in. I don't know what, exactly, but it just seemed like half an episode.


Let the whapping commence.

Uh, hold that whapping. I know Daniel was trying to stall when he started talking to Netan (?) but I don't get how it was supposed to work.

[freyr's mother]

Nooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!! ******* PTB! How can they just take Emerson from us? I did like mitchell's whole thing with the reole chemical. That ep kicked ass! 12/10.

[Arative]

Good episode. Great action, team building. Loved the look on Mitchell's face right before he beat that guy that was beating on Teal'c.

Emerson's death was unexpected, usually the secondary characters get off with a beating or something. Makes a good point about the Lucian Alliance, that they are ruthless and mean business.

Loved that Vala had some more to do this episode, shows she more that most people here give her credit for. She's developed into a really good character.

Earth is now fighting a two war front with only one ship, we better start building more and soon.

I liked this episode. I think compared to last week's, this episode did a much better job of showing the team interacting as a team even when they weren't always together. I was a little wary about the description saying that Cam goes undercover to save everyone and I was instead pleasantly surprised in how they handled it (mainly in how they still managed to have Teal'c with him since I thought he'd be completely alone). Speaking of Teal'c, I was happy to see him express his feelings in regards to how he's been treated lately and hopefully he's given more of a break in future episodes. Cam did a good job of bluffing his way around there.

People who have read my posts lately know that I'm not happy with Daniel always being off with Vala instead of everyone else but I think they did a better job of putting them all together this week. I did laugh at the looks Mitchell and especially Daniel and Teal'c were giving each other in the beginning when Vala was telling them she could get them anything. I liked when Daniel and Vala got together with Sam and I am very happy that I didn't see any ship between Daniel and Vala in this episode. I also liked Daniel's reaction to stalling...it made me think of the episode in the past where he stalled by saying they were the great and powerful Oz. I thought it was funny that he was corrected that it only took a button to be ready and that he admitted he'd only said it because he thought that was what he was supposed to do. You know I enjoy seeing how the military has gained influence on Daniel over the years but I still like to see reminders on the ways he's not completely military. I also enjoyed seeing Daniel hiding behind his hands when thinking they were going to shoot. Have to say that SG-1 and the other prisoners lucked out a lot in this episode given how many times they did something and had to leave it completely up to chance that the plan would work.

I was sad to see Emerson go and all I can say about that is they had better not kill off Bra'tac.

best line of hte night

'i tire of this torture cam mitchell' (yeah, so do a lot of the fans)

cheese ball line of the night...and i'm talking cringable cheesy 'damn you cam mitchell'

puhleese. that line was....oh so bad

and, can we PLEASE get the kids scrambled up a bit? like Dani said, i'm getting sick and bored with d/v for the comedy, t/c for the 'studliness' and sam there to be the exposition girl. explore something different please

Oh, so not just me. Cringe worthy.

I also didn't like the "I screwed up" line. Not a bad line in itself, but I had no idea terminology like that was universal. He's a freaking alien. I mean an alien alien, and he phrases something in a way the average person out of Podunk would?

[JanusAncient]

I really enjoyed this epsiode, why? Working backwards, Teal'c stating how tired he was of being tortured, funny, the lol kind, not the typical ha ha stuff.

From the beginning, the neutron star, now that was new, unique in Stargate. How they captured the ship, the mine field, the death of Emerson, got to ask why is Sam always crying, not always, but more than a hardened military person should, no?

Cam infiltration of the Lucian Alliance, well-done on his part, and the last statement about declaring all out war, very fun indeed.
