another reused storyline

[Col.Jack]

This episode is very similar to the SG1 episode prisoners where General Hammond goes through the gate to negotiate for SG-1's release, in this case it is Woolsey that goes through.
this is not the first re-used plotline either.

I can't believe they made two episodes with both a Stargate, a trial of a captured team and a negotiator from home base coming to their aid!
Someone less lazy list the differences.

All debts have now been reused.

I dont see you writing anything better? Unless im wrong, wut shows are you writing so i can see if any of their plots can be called recycled.

havent seen inquisition yet but,

Prisoners deals with SG1's escape from a prison, and Hammond just happens to go negotiate for there release, the story wouldn't have lost anything if Hammond didn't go.

Where as in inquisition, it all about the trial,

if your going to compare it to an episode compare it to Politics or Disclosure.

You have to be kidding me. That was a minor minor part of Prisioners. People will do almost anything to yell rehash

Is the episode so horrible that you cannot logically defend it and have to resort to ad hominem?

You sound surprised. Recycled plots is a stargate specialty.

I've seen fan fics that are better!!!! So, yes....regular, everyday people can write better. Just imagine how much better stagate would be if the professionals wrote professionally!

[Giantevilhead]

The writers had always wanted to do an episode where SG-1 was judged for their crimes. I think they originally wanted it to be a trial held by the Aschen and an Asgard was going to be the judge.

[Jack_Bauer]

The Asurans were a reused plotline, the Asgard were a reused plotline, this was not a reused plotline.

[woodybb]

who cares if they reused a storyline or not, Inquisition is a clip ep, that is the absolute bottom rung in lazy script writting. Maybe that wasted 40mins could be given back to me in clip form

[jelgate]

Actually its more money saving then lazyiness.

When have those storylines ever been used before?

When have those storylines ever been used before?

They killed off the Asgard, now we see them again in Atlantis - reusing an established race/characters. They also kind of made the Peguses Agards like the Loki from the milky way, something that was dealt with a lot better on SG1. Turning the Asgards into villians was a mistake, they can't let them go - which makes it look like they (TPTB) have no originality and Atlantis is suffering for it.

The only original thing in Atlantis is the Wraith, and even then, they are just vampires in space, with a dice of Goa'uld thrown in for good measure. As a whole the whole series is crumbling, and I keep watching only hoping that they can get back to the glory days.
