Come on, guys. I'm dyin' here.

Caz? Oh, Ca-az? Where are you?

[Alberon]

The Daniel bit. Isn't that set an in-joke? It's the Wafflehouse from Dead Like Me. Daniel even sits where the group in DLM always do, and he ordered waffles.

[Wayan]

Currently adverts and all I can say is Dayum!

When I work out how to do spoiler tags will probably say more, but adverts arn't that long so will have to wait til after the show.

YES. I thought that as well. It makes sense since both shows are shoot at Bridge Studios. That was priceless.

They probably just ran out of locations in Vancouver, but then, "Dead LIke Me" is a good joke.

[sgelite]

Very true and another little know fact, sga bought the set from the movie blade: trinity. All the glass.corridors.and stairs from I.think the middle.if.season two onwards

[Silent Todd]

Ok, I am a huge Stargate fan, one that until I saw this episode would have said, I hope the series goes on for even longer. But then I saw Threads, one of the greatest episodes I've seen yet. True to the name, it ties up so much that I think it would have made a great end to the series. I honestly don't know what the new threat they're going to introduce is going to be, but I don't really care anymore. Threads and Reckoning take care of Anubis and the Replicator threat in our galaxy, and to a degree, Baal with the Jaffa uprising. The Jaffa are now essentially free, the galaxy is for the most part free of evil, and we got a good look at ascention and the Ancients. Moebius is going to have to be pretty damn good to top these last few episodes. And as for Season 9? I don't know that there's much more that I want from the series that needs to be explained in a whole new season.

[okigirl]

I agree - I've waited all season for this episode and thought it was fantastic... Can't wait to watch it again

[addy4488]

I agree, but I honestly think that a new threat in Season 9 will herald "an offshoot" if you like, in direction for the show.
I think we'll even see less of Jack now in S9 and wouldn't be surprised if he retires to set up home with Sam!
BB is joining the show and IMO, that will change the show for good. It's hard to think what type of new threat can be introduced though, because it will have to be something sprung on them from nowhere.

I think that because of actions in Moebius, they somehow "create" themselves an enemy in the current timeline by altering the past, I can't see a new enemy coming from any other way.

I absolutely loved this episode! Don't want to say too much - even with the Spolier in the title, because this is one episode I would encourage everyone not to spoil on themselves! Everything the writers and directors did was just right in my opinion - nothing too over the top or out of place and just goes to prove once again that the Stargate production team do it best.

Whatever happens with Jack going forward, they have already proved with the MS situation that they can make it work if a major character moved on and I have every confidence in another brilliant season ahead!

[WraithWarrior]

I too thought this and the two previous episodes were the best that ive ever seen, but why did they kill off Anubis? thats if they did. If so, it was the worst thing they did and I couldnt believe it. Anubis is the most powerful Gou'ald of all time and they kill him just like that. No way, Anubis has got to survive somewhere and be hiding until he has the power to attack again.

Please dont kill Anubis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Albion]

I don't think they did kill off Anubis. Oma said she couldn't kill him. She could only engage him in a perpetual battle, both of them locked in fighting the other, so that he couldn't do any more damage to the universe. Both of them are equally matched, in other words, neither can win. But it effectively ties up Anubis and keeps him out of trouble. Probably for eternity.

Which, of course, gives TPTB a way to bring him back if they feel they need to. Personally, Anubis never did anything for me. He always reminded me of a pantomine villain. Ba'al now...Ba'al is spooky. With a delicious sense of irony. They can carry him through to S9 and I won't complain.

I loved it too. Wanting to be able to say that and know that there's less of a risk of spoilers in this forum if I start burbling about it is probably the main reason why I finally stopped lurking and joined up.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who was reminded of the diner in 'Dead Like Me'. Was anyone else listening out for Bavarian Accordion music?

Once again, MS gives an outstanding performance (is there even an occasion when he hasn't?) as a massively frustrated DJ who wants to stop what's happening - but can't. Loved the Anubis twist at the end, too. I never guessed for a moment (maybe I'm just a really slow Unas Matriarch, though).

Given that we haven't heard a squeak from Baal since Anubis told him he was for the chop when the megaweapon thingy got activated and wiped out all galactic life, I hope we see him again in the future. His smugness and arrogance while helping Sam and Jacob with the replicator problem was great fun. I like that in a baddie.

[Egeria]

I have to admit that after watching Threads last night I felt slightly dissapointed, everything seemed too convenient. It just felt like too many loose ends got tied up in one episode. Having thought about it though my opinion has changed. To me it seems to have been necessary to set the way for S9 and the changes that are coming. Initially I wasn't holding out much hope for S9, but I feel quite excited about it all now.

[samandjack32]

This episode was amazing, I can't wait 'til next week.

[aAnubiSs]

How about using the official Threads thread and the Yes/No to S9 instead of starting yet another thread.
