Ethon (915)

Good episode. I remember on first viewing thinking "oh no not the Rand and Caledonians again" (yawn), glad I was wrong.

[Pharaoh Atem]

Why did they let him through the gate? Don't they know he is a Cylon?

[Tachyon]

Just watched this and... oy. Not my cup of tea, I'm afraid.

[mrscopterdoc]

Not bad but not great.

[maneth]

Oh well, at least we won't hear from the Rand or the Caledonians ever again. A depressing episode if there ever was one.

[Lt.Colonel John Sheppard]

hey what do you guys think the repercussions were back on earth for losing Prometheus cause I'm sure the IOA along with the pentagon were at each other's throats about who should be held responsible for the loss of the Prometheus and the 39 crew members who were killed in the attack. (Col. Pendergast included)

[NowIWillDestroyAbydos]

This was a great episode. Easily one of the Top 3 episodes of Season 9.

It's sad Prometheus got destroyed, it was a cool ship, one of it's own. Her Captain when down with her, heroically.

Joel's score during the destruction scene was just beautiful.

Monday, Ba'al steals Stargates.

Agreed, I hate watching that bit. Like I wrote in my LJ, she's almost like another member of the SGC...

Watching this episode only annoys me again at the senseless waste of the Prometheus, which is my favourite Stargate ship after Destiny, for a bunch of no good ungrateful *&$%#** who blew themselves up anyway!!!!

This is why it was one episode I didn't really want to watch again.

...but it is the episode with the wonderful Daniel line.......


KANE: Do you ever give up?

DANIEL: Not until I'm dead...........And sometimes not even then.

[discodiva]

Very sad episode...but full of some great Daniel interaction, both with Kane and then with Cam at the end...both Ben and Michael conveyed the utter hopelessness of the situation so well in that final minute...

Sad to see the Prommie go....personally I've always thought our earth ships were so damn ugly, but I like Col. P. and it was very noble of him to go with the ship...

On a side note, which is less dour, I did keep expecting Ernie Hudson to pop up saying "Who ya gonna call?" and waving a home-made Ghostbusting proton pack!..

That one of my favorite episodes just in the saddness of what happened to Pendergast and the Promethus. I felt like really punching Nadal when he destroyed the Promethus. I felt like their was a real sense of emotion of watching the Promethus crew scrambling and Pendergast sacrificing his own life at the end to give his own crew time to escape to Caledonia. The solution to the Ori satelite was a creative one to me. Using an EM pulse seems low brow compared to the technobabble in Stargate but since the concept actually existed I liked using it in disabling the satelite. The Daniel arguing got old fast and overdone. It also seemed naive. I think by now he should know the Rand Protecterate wouldn't act peacefully in thier fight with Caledonia.

This ep was so much better than it's first part The English Patient 'Icon'. Not nearly as slow. I was sad to see the Prommie go. The scene where Teal'c and Sam met up after she beamed off at the last instant was touching.

[the fifth man]

IMO, this episode was definitely one of Season 9's best.

[suse]

Yep.

[Lieutenant Sparrow]

Poor Prometheus the only unique earth ship. The rest being clones of Daedalus. Of all things for it to be destroyed by it had to be a satellite

The leader of Rand was a fool. So glad he was shot. But in the end it was all for nothing as they still destroyed each other.

It's hard to stomach watching such a sad ending.

[Matt G]

So...

1. Didn't think I'd ever see that bunch again.

2. The Tau'ri get caught offguard...and the Prommie gets toasted.

3. Cut Mitchell some slack here - this potentially could have been a very big win for the Ori.

4. The beer...well I had to do a double take on that but if they're off duty presumably meh.

I did like the ep, as it showed us what might happen if earth went public with the program....
