Stargate Down Under

[B O Y S C O U T]

Yes great job on 400

Thankyou to everyone who has wished me a happy birthday I have greened you all I think...except phaeton but I will get you as soon as I can.

I forgot all about watching SG1 last night... although when I got home it was on the TV (the bit where the Prommie blows up.) It's good to see I wasn't way off base with saying that ethon was good

[B O Y S C O U T]

Off the grid is next

[broken-heart]

Is it better than Ethon?

[MB.Eddie]

Is it better than Ethon?

Its a pretty good ep

[Frinky]

Hmmmm, I have absolutely no memory of what happens in it...my recollection of S9 eps hasn't been very good lately...

[Mefusta]

Aaaaah, 'Off the Grid'. By a freak of circumstance, it premiered at a time when Galactica had just had about three episodes in a row where the teaser would show the climax of the episode, and the rest of the episode would be the lead-up to that point. Thus, the rather pointless use of this technique in this episode proved quite annoying to fans at the time. Luckily, Galactica is a few eps behind down here, so it won't be as annoying as it was when it first premiered.

Basically, the episode deals with the exploits of one of the many Ba'als now roaming the Galaxy, with the Lucian Alliance and our favorite heroes thrown into the mix. Highlights; that porky son-of-a-gun Nerus pops up once again, and the loss of the Prometheus will suddenly seem all that less important. Most certainly not the best ep this season, but it has its moments [read: Sam looking better-than-ever in some non-regulation offworld gear].

[broken-heart]

I'd say it's mainly about Ba'al stealing Stargates, and a new food called kassa, that makes you crazy.

[Frinky]

Ohh yeah, thats right...You know, I think I've only heard kassa mentioned once since this ep, and that was in S10...hmm, after 'Off the Grid', we've got 'Arthurs Mantle', 'Crusade' and 'Camelot', I enjoyed all of these eps, particularly Camelot, lol, these were the ones I remember most, with the exception of 'Avalon 1&2' and 'Origin'. Seems to me that the beginning and end of the season was best, IMO anyway.

[broken-heart]

You forgot The Scourge. The Scourge doesn't look that good. Does it mention Alec Colson?

[Tamilas Arrondil]

Off the Grid wasn't that good. Okay. 7/10 probs from me...lol

I thought they were rather clever how they introduced Vala and Cam, but I'm still not sure what I think about Cam. They spent far to much time at the start of the season trying to 'prove' him to the audience. Like the battles with the night, the flashbacks to his heroism and the whole Sodan thing. But I still like him. Vala is still awesum.

I was rather suprised how they developed her in Season 10. It's good though, cos you still see flashes how she used to act, she's just a lot more...hmm...civilised. lol

I wish channel seven would just air them earlier. It's so annoying having to stay up so late when i've got school....oh well lol

i would have felt the impact of the whole prometheus thing more if my brother hadn't been three feet away laughing his head off about something or other.

i agree with the whole "get hyperdrive already!" sentiment. they woulda kept daniel alive if just to question him further. but it gives a kick to all those ppl who think mitchells trying to take over, when he looked to cater to see what she was gonna do. it was up to him, but he was waiting for her to say something. a whole double-team kinda thing.


sorry if i've offended anybody. just a little rant from something i read earlier on.

anyways, the more baals the better, i say. he was a great bad guy, and the whole clone-thing makes him even cooler

[Chelle DB]

Hey guys!!
I thought

Spoiler:

Ethon was ok...not the best for season 9 but still...I enjoyed for it what it was!!
Off the Grid is ok too...I love their costumes...just think it would have been cool if they had tried the corn themselves...that would have been funny to watch them get a little loose if you know what I mean...especially Teal'c...anyhoo...The Scourge is good...I love it actually...but I'm begining to understand why a lot of folk out there are getting sick of the Asgard beam technology saving their butts in the nick of time...it's getting a bit predictable!

Anyhow...that's my opinion on the eps so far...I know I've skipped ahead a bit so I put it in spoilers so if you don't want to be spoiled....don't read!!
So just out of curiosity...is there anyone here going to the con in Melbourne on November 5???

[rosey_angel]

i'd like to go , but i ain't gots no money that is my birthday though, so if anyone's wondering what to get me wink wink

[Willow'sCat]

Can someone tell me if Channel 7 is still screening SG-1 on Thursdays? I live in Tasmania and it has disappeared from our local schedule, it may have something to do with us going into daylight savings early, which is stupid as it means when the mainland goes onto DLS we will have missed 4 episodes Just wondering if this a Channel 7 thing or a local thing.

[broken-heart]

I'm pretty sure Ch7 is still showing Stargate. It's on at 11:30PM now. I can't wait until I can get a S9 box set, no more late nights.
