'Identity' (518) General Discussion

[Landers]

SGA is a show I used to look forward to watching every week, but I don't care anymore. I've only watched a handful of shows this season but every time I do, its all about rescuing Keller, who I don't even consider a character worth saving. She irritates the hell out of me.

Teyla has fewer lines than a guest star and doesn't even feel part of the cast anymore.

Sheesh, when our "team" went into that building in the town, stormtrooper uniforms and big ole guns in hand, those two women didn't bat an eye, like they see this every day. It was just stupid. Even Flanigan seemed completely embarrassed to be saying his lines in that scene.

I'm also sick of the SG1 rehashing. These writers couldn't come up with anything new if it was handed them on a silver platter. Yep, this show deserves to be put down.

Not really a rehash, just using existing continuity to tell a different story. Daniel and Valas trip can't even be compared to this body switch. Criticizing a piece of technology would be like getting mad every time Sheppard uses a P90 since SG-1 had one too.

Either the writers are making the device work however they want or the device has multiple functions. I agree, it's gone past confusing at this point. Or is the device a variation built later in Pegasus as the original devices were build before the Ancients went to Pegasus?

Vala,

Yeah how is this a rehash? Because they used the same Ancient device? Give me a break.

Well Sheppard's team walked through the Stargate and SG1 constantly walked through the Stargate.

Vala,

Well, it does have multiple slots. Daniel may have placed the crystal in the 'transfer memory to other person, hold other persons memory in data storage' while that woman may have placed the crystal in the 'transfer memory to other person, other person transfer memory to me' slot.

It'd make sense anyways. Theoretically, the ancients could have used the device to quickly transport specialists (medics, engineers, etc) where a Stargate wasn't accessible, or in emergency situations. The range on the device is what is ridiculous if you ask me. It already went from Earth to the Ori Galaxy.

Stop rehashing my style. Just because I post on a forum on the internet doesn't mean you have to too. Get your own thing Jelgate.

But it was my thing first

I know what a ripoff and rehash. SGA's gate should be square not round.

LOL!

Since you like this device so much get ready for

Spoiler:

Stargate Universe - as it will be featured heavily on that show. Gags.

I am not ready for it and have my doubts. I apologize if I am a little assertive with my posts. My favorite current show is ending in two episodes, and the reason for it ending is Bull. So again, sorry.

This may just be me, but I thought this device looked slightly different than the one in origin, so it would make sense for it to be a different version of the device. Or, maybe this is how the device is actually supposed to work. It was clearly stated in origin that that device wasn't working properly.

Vala,

It's like a car, maybe they have like CE, LE, XLE models.

What was that whatyacallit device doing in the Pegaus Galaxy?

I'm figuring Neela is dead. Or will be, and she so deserves it, if nothing else, for starbbing Zelenka for no good reason. Yes, die die die. Neela, that is. She wasn't a sympathetic character and apparently deserved what she got.

Liked how Ronon figured out Keller wasn't Keller before Rodney did. Hmm....

Overall, not a bad episode, although well, could have done without another McKeller ending. Where the hell did McKay get a box of Godiva chocolates in the Pegasus galaxy??

I think Teyla had some lines. Sigh. I hope she gets more lines in the final episode!

Coolest shot: jumper flying overhead as seen from balcony.

Next week's honestly looks better.

I'm also waiting for Rodney to just snap, as he goes back and forth from being sooo nice to Keller, then snarky without everybody else, that eventually his brain is going to get whiplash.

Aliens were decent (liked the lead guy - good actor) and the women weren't busty wenches for once.

My biggest gripe, and one that makes me think the writers just go 'meh, no one will notice and if they do, who cares?' -- I thought they were trying to keep Atlantis sorta under wraps, yet they seem to blab "I'm from Atlantis" to everyone and anyone??

Oh, another gripe. Keller's acting off, and Woolsey thinks, 'hmm parasite or contagion' and they don't lock her in her quarters.

Yeah, next week's looks pretty good.

i thought it was a great episode.

though i'm tired of Ronon at this point, obviously he still is somehow in this triangle with McKellar and it's weird.yea it could be explained he "knew it wasn't her" from the very start of the episode but yea things looked a little fishy until Rodney stepped in.
