Am I the only one...?

[illspirit]

Am I the only one who was a bit disappointed by this episode? I mean, theoretically it should've been a blast - new enemies, new ships, great CGI, decent plot... but it all sorta fell flat.

The new enemies looked great, but their introduction seemed forced and - like the rest of the episode - very rushed. Put it this way, could the plot of the episode have worked just the same if the aliens weren't there? Yes, it could. They were extraenous and they really shouldn't have been. It was a bit of a waste, their introduction could've been much better.

What say you?

Perhaps one of the requirements of this episode was the introduction of a new enemy. The focus on the aliens' insignia seems to point to this, since we and the characters will recognize it in the future. I enjoyed TDV a great deal, so I'll leave the rest of this thread to those who did not.

I highly doubt your the only. I have yet to see a Stargate episode where someone of fandom isn't disappointed.

I was disappointed... but only because I hyped this episode up far too much in my own head

Is still a fantastic episode though and easily the best of the season so far IMO

[Jeffala]

I thought that the basic premise of the story had great promise, but was overall not really impressed by the episode. I was kind of bored all through it.

[A Wraith Named Bob]

The show would have been much less enjoyable if the new aliens hadn't been introduced.

[Heaven]

the only reason I wasn't very disappointed is I didn't expect much from the beginning
way back at the spoilers stage the idea seemed great but as soon as I heard it's gonna be a one-off episode I knew it would fail
what really surprised me though was the poor execution of this episode which was even worse than I imagined
this was honestly one of the weakest ghost ship stories I've seen.

[GoSpikey]

Ah well, maybe in the near future there'll be another one like this...

[tombombadil]

i think it was great, but it could've been better.

Theres is always some <mod snip....how about making your point without calling names and disparaginig the opinions of others>, who really cares the episode was good. Nothing is perfect and it could have easily been alot worse, so just enjoy it for what it is.

[Phenix]

No you are not the only one. I do not mind that they introduced the enemy but I think it was handled poorly. Shep was an idiot again so at least that is a constant. Hopefully in the future he'll have to deal with Woosley tearing him a new one for poor judgement. I'm not sure if I've ever bought into Shep.

I'm glad that Ronon and Teyla has a role in this show. Ronon would be my favorite character if they let him grow.

In case you are wondering I watch SGA because I like the concept. Shep and McKay drive me insane but I still manage to enjoy the show.

Sorry if this is incoherent. Its 130 am my time and I'm exhausted.

I thought it was brill, i came up with it!

[perkin127]

i think it could have been better but the character bits in it were good and the effects were pretty awsome. i think bringing in the uber bad guys like that was good because now the team dont know if ther'ye ever going to bump into them in this reality

[FallenAngelII]

It was good. But it had a lot of filler that I found unnecessary and uninteresting. It's a good episode that could've been much better.,

[Zamboni]

Yes, I too found the episode a bit underwhelming... McKay should have dropped the baby twice.
