Which do you prefer...BAMSR and Camelot

[Guest]

That is a really tough question because they are both awsome episodes with very good space battles...


...lol, I don't think I could choose one over the other, I love 'em both equally

Cheater!

After watching both battles again there, Camelot wins for me. BAMSR looked better IMO, but Kirmit is right in there was less urgency compared to the Ori battle.

For Drama: Camelot

For VFX: BAMSR

Hmm, this is actually a tough one. People have put forth some pretty good points. Visually, the BAMSR battle was far more impressive, and the hands down winner. Camelot though did have a better overall supporting elements, such as music, drama etc. Though, the two battles were different if you think about it, and someone touched upon it earlier. BAMSR was an offensive battle and Camelot was a defensive battle. And this is a tad important if you look at it from a certain perspective. Conventionally, battles are thought to be easier for and usually favor the defender. Usually, most factors involved strongly favor the party on the defense, and work against the attacker. BUT, both Camelot and BAMSR tossed that convention on it's head. Another thing to note is that, the BAMSR battle was a bit different from the typical SG norm, in the sense that how often do we go on the offensive? In ten years of SG-1 and 3 1/2 of SGA, I think we've only done so maybe a handful number of times, as far as space battles go that is. For obvious reasons of course. Point is, the BAMSR battle was a different case. In the past, it is likely that even if we had the same capability we would have been content to "not aggravate" the enemy.

So, it's all really a matter of perspective. I personally like both of them, but for different reasons.

EDIT: Although, the persona that brought up the issue of ship scaling and other errors, does have a legitimate point. Those kinds of goofs really hurt the perception of the final product.

Now see that is a post!

Camelot, no question. The Asgard, humanity, the Jaffa, and the criminal organization that emerged from the ashes of the Goa'uld empire united as one in defiance of the Ori invasion. Nine years of story to reach a point where those people could fight alongside one another--and then they got their asses handed to them.

BAMSR was just a recycled SG-1 villain getting beaten by a minor variant on an SG-1 anti-Replicator weapon. Meh.

[Jumper_One]

both were great but I'd probably choose BAMSR

That may be but there is one problem. . . .

I thought i banned you Freek. Several times in fact Yes that's right, i live in the past, but that takeover was just so fun

anyway, another thing that improves the Camalot battle is that we had absolutly no idea when the ori were going to come through while in BAMSR we were saying "okay, now we attack."

[wkw427]

Camelot.

Better music
Epic
We didn't know what was going to happen.


In BAMSR, we kinda knew that were going to unite and pwn the asurans. Camelot, we didn't know if we were going to pwn

[LiquidKal]

Camelot, hands down.

That moment when the Ori gate opens and the ships start coming through, especially how they showed it from Carters perspective... that scene just floored me and is one of my all time favourites from the show. It gave me chills. Then it finishes in a massive cliffhanger when the good guys get their asses handed to them, talk about awesome.

BAMSR was great and all but there was no real jeopardy for me. They came, they blew up, they left. It was offensive, like everyone else is saying, rather than defensive. We weren't struggling to stay alive in a hopeless fight. We were completely dominating against a powerful enemy. Visually smashing though.

[SG13-NightOps]

Camalot. Definitely.

[Admiral Mappalazarou]

BAMSR. Because the Camelot battle seemed more like the Ori delivering big buckets of ownage and wasn't really a battle, more of a massive kick to the milky ways groin.

[Egle01]

Camelot. 110%
It was so much bigger, scarier, unknown. I loved it.
Yes, BAMSR was awesome, but not as good. Didn't give same chills as watching 'Camelot'.

[Darien]

In terms of drama it's Camelot for obvious reasons. Otherwise I have to go with BAMSR as it was a much better in terms of strategy, military tactics etc. There was movement, we saw our fleet utilizing fighters and while we stormed our enemy we kept in mind our main objective (i.e. keeping the Asurans in one place while Rodney executed his plan on the planet's surface).
Camelot was basically nothing but mustering all the ships we could and hoped that it would be enough. It was static, no or very little movement we were sitting ducks waiting to be slaughtered.
