EDIT: Inquisition. The same word in french and I can't remember it. I'm a horrible fan. I didn't like flashbacks here because I don't see the utility.sigpic

I agree, LFP was a good clip show - actually the best clip show I ever saw. However, episodes with flashbacks are different; you get a piece of story, then a piece of history, then it's all mixed up and then finally it's all resolved. Something like final episode of BSG, where we see, for example, Kara's flashbacks. When you reach a certain point you realize why she couldn't be happy with Lee.I'm not weird, I'm limited edition.

Originally posted by Southern Red View PostThat's because this was not a true episode all on its own but a clip show. They thought they were being clever but failed. Now LFP was a good clip show because it made more sense. Inquisition was too static and didn't have any action in the present to keep it moving. And would have been much better if John was the one talking about Elizabeth.

Even though it is an easy plot deviceOriginally posted by nephtys59 View PostI'm not fond of the kino idea for Atlantis ... I found it ridiculous even for Universe.
Maybe Rodney can find a new and different toy ... or even create itDDC

Originally posted by VampyreWraith View PostYeah I wasn't really a fan of Inquistion; and i think It would've been better if if John was the one talking about Elizabeth also. He always gets this looks in his eyes everytime hes talked about her since Lifeline, that just really makes me wanna hug him. lol(This is legal notice that any attempt to censor or delete, for the purpose of oppressing fair and open discussion, any statement made by me will be considered a violation of my right to free speech as guaranteed by the First Amendment of the United States Constitution, and will be dealt with in accordance with federal law.)

Inquisition isn't quite the same kind of episode, though; it's a clip show, a story framed around showing flashbacks to other episodes. Episodes like Thirty Eight Minutes, Tabula Rasa, and what Anuna's planning for Gravity are stories in which the flashbacks are an integral part of this story. Like Anuna said, it's non-linear storytelling.
I can't wait to read this season. The more I hear, the more I want to read it.sigpic

Perhaps, when they use one for a space gate, the jumper can pick it up by opening a panel on the outer hull, and the kino fits inside.

It should be noted that the difference between stories like Inquisition and stories like 38 Minutes is that in 38 Minutes the 'flashbacks' are original, meaning that they are scenes you've never seen before. So it's not you getting a scene from another show, it's you following the story backwards and forwards in time, but not knowing what the next 'flashback' will entail. As Anuna mentioned, it's original material told in a backwards pattern, or non-linear.
In Inquisition, it's all scenes we've seen before, clips taken from other episodes, hence 'clip show'.Visit SGArising.com to read our virtual continuation of the Atlantis series!
