Full Circle (622)

[GateWorld]

DISCUSS ... FULL CIRCLE EPISODE NUMBER - 622 SG-1 is called to defend the people of Abydos from the Goa'uld once again when they learn that Anubis, in search of a powerful device, is about to attack. Visit the Episode Guide >>

[Anubis]

A great episode for a season finale. It has multiple cliffhangers for example what happens to Daniel and will SG-1 see those on Abydos again? Now that Daniel is back I guess that is solves but what about Abydos? Perhaps a revisit in season eight?

Interesting, i thoguh it was generally bad with a few redeeming points.

SG-1's defense of the temple was rubbish, where were the claymores, the machinguns covering chokepoints? Where were the multiple SG teams, handing out better guns to abydoians than eight year old MP5s?

Danny giveing Anubis the Eye of Ra made no sense, he perfectly laid out the reasons why he shouldn't, the eye allowed Anubis to whip the System lords' Colective asses without it he would tens times weaker and would have been drawn into a runnig conflict wear they would have been properly well matched.

And last but not at all least: The ascension of the abydonians was a complete and utter cop-out.

On the plus side it did have some funny lighter moments.

"Is trhat my stuff?"

And the Jack/Danny interaction at the beginning.

Although it is a good episode, Full Circle is nothing more.

It would have been a lame ending to Stargate. Thank god it went on for Season 7 and 8 and hopefully nine.

Thank god this wasn't the end!

Whatever happened to those "Eye Of Ra x 07" anyway?

Taking into consideration the fact that this episode was supposedly going to be the last ever SG-1 eppy ever when it was written.

I was, personally, very disapointed in it... It just didnt add up...

I agree, they should have had some more 'defenses' like a few of those 50 cal mounted MALPS like we saw in forever in a day. And with all the interaction we have had, i am surprised we don't keep a permenant mil presense there, for their defense.

Danny giveing Anubis the Eye of Ra made no sense, he perfectly laid out the reasons why he shouldn't, the eye allowed Anubis to whip the System lords' Colective asses without it he would tens times weaker and would have been drawn into a runnig conflict wear they would have been properly well matched.

That is true, i would have rather he had 'told' lord yu about the eye and that anubis had not completed it.. BUT i loved the chatter back and fourth between daniel and jack over the giving over of the eye.

And last but not at all least: The ascension of the abydonians was a complete and utter cop-out.

At first, when it happened i was 'GOOD GOLLY, has danny turned into another Oma, but later when i heard daniel saying (and smiling) "oma is watching us", i was happy... though i do admit, all being ascended was a little wierd. Kasuf and Skara i could see, being their familial ties to the group, but all... it was strange..

On the plus side it did have some funny lighter moments.

And the Jack/Danny interaction at the beginning.

My fave of those moments, was when they were inside the temple/tomb, and jack was telling daniel to dross that line. Then later when Harak (sp??) was telling the team to surrender, and jack told him "failin up i see"..

Weren't they smashed in the flashback from the photon torpedo down the exhaust port? I believe that was the plan, although my memory is hazy; there was a little, ZX Spectrum computer graphic and talk of womp rats.

IIRC that was to destory the power supply FOR the eye..

Good episode, that elevator scene between Jack and Daniel was great. I did get a Star Wars feeling when Daniel confronted Anubis, don't ask me why but I just did.

Same here, but i did love it when Harak told apophis "truely you are all mighty my lord| and apophis replied "that was not me.."

What I can't figure out is why Daniel was stopped from doing what he did despite the actions that Oma done towards the end.

Agreed. I find it strange she could ascend all those abydonians (and even keep the gate there) but could not let daniel lay the smack down on Anubis.. BUT was it her or the others that stopped him.??

I agree. I enjoy David Palffy as Sokar and more so as Anubis. If only Sokar could have stayed on longer.

Agreed. Next to Ba'al and Lord Yu, he was imo the best gou'ald... Though his death was a little cool.. blowing up his "hell" world, right on top of his 'mother ship.
Though that gets me. Sokar had a regular Hatak for his mother ship, when all the others seem to have those big ones... like anubis did..

How couldAnubis get the eye of Tiamat wasn't it destroyed in S5's 'The Tomb'.

Maybe his eye was different than the Tiamat one..

Anyone notice this silly consistency error? One moment Teal'c is firing an M249 and right after he's using an M16 with an M203 grenade launcher.

LOL... No i did not..

I did get a Star Wars feeling when Daniel confronted Anubis, don't ask me why but I just did.

I've never really watched any Star Wars films, but it still definately reminded me of it.

Have to say that I particularly enjoyed that moment when Jack has to hand over the Eye of Ra to Herak, and can't quite let go. Saw it on Sky Two last night.

It was hilarious to see Jack clenching it tightly in his hand so that Herak has to pull it harder from him.

I loved this episode! The whole elevator scene at the beginning between Jack and Daniel was great. The conversation between Jack, Sam and Skaraa about going to his wedding was also pretty funny. It was sad that Skaraa had to die though, but at least he got to ascend. The pyramid blowing up was a really good effect and I thought the ending was really nice, where you can just see the stargate in the distance. Excellent ep!

i love this episode i love the bit between daniel and jonas where jonas has his stuff very funny, as well the start is very funny with daniel and jack i could not stop laughing

[J_schinderlin56]

Here's the thing that I find really interesting about this episode:

Anubus was an ascended being interfering with the lower plains of existence. According to the rules just talking to lowers is agansed the rules, but I guess blowing up entire planets isn't?

So here we have an ascended being about to blow up a planet in the lower plains then another ascended being (Daniel) tries to stop him.

Isn't Daniel the one following the rules by stopping him?

I mean if Daniel had attacked Harak or Anubus' Jaffa that would be one thing but Daniel V.S. Anubus is just One Ascended vs. another isn't it?

What's the dif between Daniel fighting Anubus and Oma doing it?

Correct me if I'm wrong somehow.

[Mr Prophet]

Anubis is partly descended and has no powers beyond his ability to move from body to body, hence his panic when Daniel breaks the rules and goes for him directly.

[Anubis]

Full Circle showed a strong rating. Although not the highest

[Elwe Singollo]

Theres a difference between this Full Circle's airing, than the one aired on Scifi though.

[Anubis]

Of course. The original showing and that in syndication

[Elwe Singollo]

Yes, Yes... Did you like the episode?

[QuiGonJohn]

I liked this episode. I'd seen Season 8 when it aired and a few times they showed that bit with Daniel trying to fight Anubis, it was good to see it in context. I will miss that Abydos is no longer there, (at least no people, no Stargate). I guess it's good that Oma ascended them, so at least they weren't all killed.

What is the "really good Vancouver location" mentioned in the production notes?

[Stricken]

Great Episode, action, sadness, humor, this was a classic Stargate Epsidoe
What annoy'd me was it was a shame it was Jonas's last proper full episode. Despite the little appearances at the beginning of season seven and the other episode in Season 7

[briguy213]

This is one of my favorite episodes and I cant wait to see it tonight!!!
