On behalf of those of us deprived.

Anyone want to summery for us

[Wass]

The episode is looking very promising so far and great acting by Amanda Tapping.

[Replicarter]

All i have to say is wow! ok.. not just wow, though this episode dident have lots of funny one liners, the one at the beggining was great when Replicarter said there are 2 of us, and O'Neill said If only. I think Replicerter would make a good phsycologist, she speeks so slowly and calmly. Anyway, il say more when i actualy watch the end of the ep, thank god i have sky+, brakes arnt long enough to post

[Wass]

At the start of this episode Daniel and Sam are having a conversation about ship being installed with asgard hyperdrive system and also being stocked for the up coming Atlantis mission.

[Nee]

i thought this episode sucked.
oo that carter :-)

At last the Alpha-site is being put to its proper use. It's good to see the Threatening But Interesting Thing being taken there instead of being allowed to roam the SGC. Yay.

Even so, it was hard to see why Carter trusted a Replicator so readily, even one wearing her face and memories. Hands up everyone who didn't guess that showing her the disruptor would let her work out a way to make herself immune from it?

o summarize the episode for the american

[Replicarter]

OMG, that ending was just, wow. Does anyone elce think TPTB and in a terminator mood? She gets shot and you see the metal woonds, then they heal, at the end when shes coming into the gate room the music sounds very similar to the main theme of The Terminator, and Spoilers for Reckoning, look at this pic http://www.gateworld.net/sg1/s8/graphics/8x5_31.jpg that is more T than the rest lol.

And in what way do you think it sucked? I thought it was amazing.

[nthanki]

Well I thought it was an awesome episode. thats partly because i haven't had any new sg-1 for a while. AT did a very good job in playing both sams.
i was a bit sad at the fact that DJ didnt feature a lot in the episode. although there are HUGE spoilers for Prometheus Unbound. I don't know if they have already been disclosed but if anyone wants to know please say the word and i will use spolier tags.

[Teal'c]

Did anyone else notice that Joe and Paul are now Executive Producers? After Brad and Robert's names fade out Joe and Paul's fade in. Excellent

Poor Fifth though, I still feel sorry for him. I wish there he had a better exit.

Teal'c's smirks were great throughout the episode.

To give a quick summary:

Replicarter contacts SGC. She says she wants to die, she doesn't want to be with Fifth anymore. Jack agrees to let her go to the Alpha Site. They interogate her and she says Fifth has a way of stopping the new Replicator Disruptor by encypting kiron pathways yada yada yada. They get Replicarter to help them get around Fifth's encryption. But she keeps contacting Fifth through subspace, telling him she's playing Sam and the rest of them.

The Asgard send a disruptor satellite to the Alpha Site. Replicarter says Fifth has learned their location over the subspace network and found them. Teal'c uses an F-302 to put the satellite in orbit. Replicarter tells Sam she's found the cypher Fifth was using and they have to upload it to the satellite, but Fifth's ship arrives in orbit of the Alpha Site. Replicarter tells Fifth that the humans actually believed her, and so did he. She fires the satellite at Fifth's ship, destroying it. There was no cypher. But now Replicarter has one, after studying the disruptor. She escapes the Alpha Site to lead the Replicators as they take over the galaxy.

woah..awesome..now i wonder what will happen...can the replicators be stopped!!!

[michelleb]

That was amazing!!!

AT did a fantastic job distinguishing between the two Carters...and Replicarter was fantastically cool!!! I loved it when she was evil!!! I hope she returns, she was wonderful.

In fact, I loved the whole episode. Nice build up of tension with fifth coming, interesting insight into Carter's character, good interaction with sam/jack at the beginning (Two Carters..if only!) I was glued to the screen every second!

I agree, I thought this was an excellent episode and AT did an amazing job playing Carter, nice/vulnerable replicarter and nasty "Ruler of the Universe" replicarter. Patrick Currie did an excellent job, as always, as Fifth, poor guy won't have to worry about being betrayed again (the guy is dust)!

[Lunar]

Great ep, really loved it.
Not a lot of Daniel, but reading the Prometheus Unbound spoilers

Spoiler:

I think the debt will be repayed next week with an extremely Daniel-centric ep.

Gemini

Spoiler:

It wasn't a great ep for Colonel Carter though. Compared to Major Carter she seems... a little too trusting at times? I dunno, she just seems a little... dilute compared to the Carter of previous seasons. A little <winces> .... dumb at times?

But a good ep, real return to form, I feel.

[susanmary_1]

There was a great scene near the end when replicarter is talking to Sam in her mind, she's telling her that she knows how she thinks, how she feels, what she will do

"You play by the rules. You deny yourself your desires."

Oh yes, she's got your number Sam!

[Madeleine]

Too trusting, right.

Can anyone come up with a good fix for Carter's gulibility? I've tried for thirty whole seconds and failed, but if anyone is less addled and lazy than me...

??

[Thor]

So I assume "Gemini" has now aired? Anyone wanna give me some spoilerfree words about this episode? What did you like/not like, just tell me your opinion

[JackDaniels]

I really enjoyed the episode too, though I was also a little bummed out by the lack of Daniel Jackson, though the implication was that Prometheus Unbound was taking place simulataneously with Gemini. I think the good thing about this episode was the two Carters and I think Carter's willingness to trust the replicator came from her desire to put an end to something she thinks she started (i.e Fifth and his desire for revenge) and also replicarter used her feelings about Jack to gain her trust. When she was saying that Fifth had tortured her, she used the example fo killing Jack for this, and Sam believed how hard it was for her. This is what made Sam so gullible. She also wanted to believe that since Replicarter was like her, their goals would be the same.

I think that it was also ineresting that Replicater said Sam was more powerful than even she realised, but that she was held back by her fears. Of course this obviously refers to Jack, but also leads me to question just how much smarter can that woman be?

Nice to have Jack in the episode a bit more and Teal'c doing something an episode other than the ones that centre around him!

All in all a great episode, looking forward to her coming back, seeing how she evolves and also Prometheus Unbound (a DJ episode, yay!)
