SG-1 SEASON TEN THE QUEST, PART 2
EPISODE NUMBER - 1011
When the team finds Merlin himself, they must help him complete the Sangraal weapon before Adria and her Ori forces can track them down.
Don't usually post in an episode discussion thread but this episode deserves it
WOW
What an amazing episode.
I loved the dragon scenes at the start and the way Teal'c ran out and threw the C4 in the dragons mouth and nothing happened and had to hop foot it back to the woodland.
The part when Merlin came unfrozen and Daniel explaining things was a bit slow - but once he took on Merlins knowledge and started to build the weapon the action picked up.
Sam punching Baal, he had it coming
Loved the gun battle scene at the end, I mean we had tonnes of gun battles with the Jaffa in the first season and second of SG-1, yet our first gun battle with Ori soldiers was in Part I, but this one ruled.
Daniel controlling weather like Oma was good and the way he protected the team and helped them escape even thoe he prob knew he couldn't get back with them.
Looks like Adria is going to have her way with Daniel, but the one big question is:
Was the weapon destroyed by Adria or is it still half complete because she knew no-one will ever get there again to finish it.
^ My reaction to Sam giving Ba'al a bloody nose. Literally. *giggles* I actually punched the air. I've been wanting to see her do that in response to some of his snarky chauvinist crap forever. *grins* He always makes me laugh, but he does get on my nerves sometimes. Just a little.
-- Merlin/Moros! Yay, but it was kind of sad to see him die, though it was nice to see he'd mellowed since Atlantis. I wonder if this means Daniel got the memories of meeting Elizabeth Weir the first time her expedition hit Atlantis? Hmmmm.
-- Really wanted to hug Vala. This episode totally cemented my Daniel/Vala 'shipping...
-- Cam, I'm beginning to like you.
-- Cliffhanger. EVIL. Adria also evil. But hot. Mmmm...
all I can say is.... WOW!!! This was an amazing episode. Daniel was brilliant. And so was adria. Teal'c insults to baal, and Merlin stealing Baal's voice classic
And we know how epsiode 13 occures now... what an ending!
10/10!

Lol me too
Excellent episode, really enjoyed it. The start was very fast paced. And the character interaction was just great, everyone got good scenes and screen time, and there was angsty stuff too. You got to see how much Vala cares for Daniel.
That was great, best episode for a while. Best Daniel espisode in ages, Sam puching Baal so good. And Vala, first time I've warmed to her character. Best group interaction this season

I loved this episode, everyone had a part to play and they really felt like a team. The dragon scene was amazing, especially the part when it smashed out of the top of the mountain. I found the way Adria used the DHD very kool aswell, the battle with the soliders was good, though would've liked them to put up a bit more of a battle but the battle between Adria and Daniel made up for that. I loved the end, especially because I loved everytime we get to see an Ori ship . Overall brillant episode, one of my favs, 10 outta 10. Oh yer and loved Cam's line, probably his best line ever.
Could have done with much more of the dragon - it felt like the writers have decided to speed things along for the last few episodes. Not a bad thing after series 9, which seemed to take forever to get not very far.
However, it does look like Daniel will get some quality airtime for the rest of the series! I loved the way that Merlin taking him over wasn't outright, but seems to be a developing thing.
And Sam decking Baal? Wonderful!
Good interaction with the characters, superb action,Daniel was on the ball and was his best performance yet.
Other things were Sam hitting Baal which he had coming. You have to wonder a few things though, what happend to the weapon and has the knowledge really gone from Daniels mind.
Better than Pegasus Project
10/10

Sam hitting Ba'al was the best moment for me, go Sam!
Plus Teal'c being all menacing towards him, always fun to watch.......
Some nice Cam/Vala interaction, about time they allowed those two to interact properly.
And Cam told Vala to shut up, about time someone did
Cam actually calling Daniel "Daniel" if only under duress, I wish he would drop
the "Jackson"
A good ep for Daniel and nice that Oma Desala was brought up, I'd have liked to have seen her again.
Jack actually getting a few mentions, nice to know he's not forgotten.....
I liked Adria in this, she's a bad girl....
Bad things:
The dragon, I sorry but it was lame for me, like some bad B movie.
A bit too much Daniel/Vala yet again for me, can't those two be allowed to be apart for a while
The whole download thing was a bit predictable for me, Daniel getting telekenesis, that was pushing it a bit OTT for me.......
I would have liked to have seen Vala have a bit more interaction with Adria, a bit of a wasted opportunity there.
Fantastic episode. It was a much better conclusion to the story than I had expected with loads of great moments that have already been mentioned (e.g. Baal getting a smack in the face, Adria's cool DHD speed dial, Dragon bursting out of the mountain, etc.)
One problem I had was the ending being slightly rushed but the Daniel/Adria fight and cliffhanger more than made up for that.

It'll never fit in there you know...
Ok firstly i just want to express how awesome i think this episode was, i have watched two of the best ever stargate episodes in one day, Window of Oppertunity was on earlier and then THIS!
Quest part 2 is IMO one of the best episodes ever. From start to finish it was brilliant to watch. It had everything, Adria was great, she has to be one of the best villain there has been, and i just want to mention, how bloody cool was it seeing baal, Adria and SG1 together. They just look fantastic together.
The dragon scenes, kudos to the CGI guys the dragon was perfect, it acted exactly as it should do and well it was realyl amazing. The Shield expanding from Adria was predictable, it would have pushed her off the ledge at that point but still, id thank her afterwoods.
The field scene was hilarious,
i was so in to it i didnt even notice the credits, Teal's one liners have been excellent in this episode but "puff" is officially his best EVER use of sarcasm. the C4 and P-90 firefights were great and Daniel and Vala dispatching of the dragon was classic vala/daniel-ness.
Next up the Lair of Merlin! How cool, and it wasnt overly cliche ancient lab, it was perfect, loved it. Merlin, what a chap! I want him to get revived in a sarcofagus and be a regular and lead the SGC. By far the coolest ancient there has ever been on stargate. building the Device, shutting up Baal! hehe.
Shame he died That sucked but OMG!!! Daniel! Im very overexcited if people cant tell, i think this is the most giddy ive been in 2 years but WOW! Daniel is merlin! Built the Device all the super powers, he could ever rain thunder which proves merlin really was the most powerfull human there was at that time. I miss merlin but i cant wait for the shroud!
Adria and he cool dialing thing, i was really :O:O:O Cool
Sam punching Baal, the souvenistic twat, but wow! what a punch and reaction, tealcs one liner!
Vala/ cam scene over daniel, i respect that he and she care and i lvoe them both but Cam hasnt been through enough situation where peopel have risked thier live for the sake of the team to actually know what the hell hes talking about and while yes that comment is true he should have said that IMO
The end scene! How amazing was that, Daniel if he was strong and recoverd would be a powerfull as Adria, i knew he would be our Prior at some point, and damn wasnt he a great one! Daniel is a god and i would kneel before him! I cant wait for the shroud and i hope he hasnt lost his merlinity because i think he has earned the right to have power for just a little while. But my friend just surgested that adrias going to use him to build a weapon to wipe out the ancients instead and i have a really bad suspicion that he s right but i really dont care.
This episode was amazing from start to fiinish, every bit even if i didnt neccisarily agree was great and this has to be one of the best evening for stargate in along time! 15/10. Legendary episode and it become one of my favourates already, well worth the wait!
Now that is a brilliant episode, recommend for every SG1 fan to watch, in my opinion the best episode ever.
Spoiler:
Started with the dragon in the cave, as the dragon attcked them with fire, Adria extended her shield to protect them all, then the dragon tried to hit them with the tail but missed, but managed to make a hole for the SG1 team to get through (and Adria), the team had to get out the way fast as the dragon shot another fire out its mouth and went down alot of corridors, finally the team got out, but it was not long after the dragon came through the cave top and tried to attck them outside, the team went into the woods for protection and thought of tying 4x C4 together, and Cameron was going to run in the field but Teal'c like usual stopped it and he ran out, when the dragon went for teal'c he ducked and the dragon stopped flying, as the dragon was standing there Teal'c threw the C4 at the dragon and believe it or not but the dragon swallowed it, after the Sam set the C4 up only fire came out of the dragons mouth.
Then Daniel being clever as he is stated that on the parchment you have to say the guardians name which was morgan Le Fay as he said this Vala ran out to the field right in front of the Dragon and shouted Morgan the Fay but nothing happened, then Daniel ran over and said the name in Ancient and the Dragon disappeared, as they got back to the cave they got beamed out but no Adria (guess it was a safe guard), and as they were searching this cave they find merlin frozen, as they were looking around the cave, Vala nearly put her head in the sucker device as it sucker device came out Merlin came unfrozen, but fainted.
When Merlin finally came through he thought all of SG1 was the Knights of the round table, after Daniel talked to Merlin explaining what happened, Merlin started to begin working on making the sangal, but Merlin stopped as he needed to rest and advised Daniel and Vala that he cannot finish the weapon in time as his body is to old.
Merlin told Daniel he had one more final thing to do and went back to the sucker thing, as he did that a bright light came from the device and Merlin fell back into Daniel and he was dead.
In the mean time every couple of hours they get transported to another planet to prevent people finding them so Sam and Baal are working on the DHD to try and get a outgoing wormhole.
After Daniel and Vala talked for abit Daniel what Merlin mean't and put his head into the headsucker, Vala then called Cameron inside the cave and Daniel had also fainted, when Daniel finally woke up he told them that Merlin knew he did not have enough time as his body was to old so he planted his memory into the device.
It then went back outside and Sam said she does not think it is the DHD but the device in front of it, as usual Baal is rude and does not believe her as she is a human and a female.
After that Daniel put his head into the headsucker and a 3d display came up and started to finish making the Sangal. Daniel had to stop after a while due to the machine tired him out, he asked Vala for a drink of water but all of the sudden the bottle of water floated in the air to Daniel (yes he has telekentic) after that Daniel went back to work, now the 3d display makes a device virtually then creates it real, the sangall is in stages to complete.
It then went back outside and Sam found the control conduit in the device in front of the DHD but she cannot understand the code, she went to Baal asking for assistances but again Baal was rude, so Sam turned around and punched him straight to the floor giving him a bloody nose. After this happened Baal then agreed to help her.
After a while they get transported again to another planet with Adria hot in pursuit. As Daniel was completing the second stage of the device he stopped and told Cameron and Vala to get to the gate as this happened the gate had a incoming wormhole.
Ori fighters started to come through and Sam, Teal'c started to fire at the gate killing loads of Ori fighters as this was happening Baal said he was getting some help but he got hit by an Ori weapon, as this happened Vala and Cameron came out and started to shoot at the Ori.
As this was happening Daniel was inside and Adria appeared and said you have failed, Daniel replied "no", as this happened a dark cloud appeared in the sky and lightining came down and hit all the Ori fighters. Then all of a sudden Daniel comes flying out of the cave, the Adria appeared and some sort of energy weapon appeared in her hand and went to hit the rest of SG1 but Daniel jumped in the way to protect them telling them to go.
The rest of the team arrive at SG1, and in the same room when they found out about the 1st planet with the tests on, and Vala was hitting the keyboard as she cares to much for Daniel.
The last scene showed an Ori ship travelling through hyperspace as the camera went into the ship there was Daniel in one of the rooms with a hangover, Adria opens the door and said are you ok, Daniel replies 'I don't know if you know what a hangover means and don't worry I have lost all the information', Adria replies 'Your mind was not meant for that much info', Adria knows that Daniel has not really lost the memory and the last sentence before it finishes Adria says ' Rest Daniel there is much to do'.
Hope you enjoy that 1st time I have done this, as i said this was a brilliant episode, 10 out of 10
Most you've ever seen viewing a thread or most you've seen viewing an episode thread? Because there were 158 viewers on the Torri/Weir wow thread right before GW crashed back when she last visited.
How do any of you know Cam hasn't been through situations like that? Perhaps he hasn't with SG-1 as much, but he HAS had the experience of being on a team before this.
The Quest, Part 2 (1011)
Woohoo!
