THe Tabula Rasa Pre Airing Discussion and Speculation Thread (Spoilers)

[g.o.d]

Oh, so you actually saw the whole thing, did you? Has it leaked somewhere?

no, but I doubt this episode will be about wraith x asuran war

Her voice is so incredibly obnoxious in the intro. Looks like a good episode, though, just wish it wasn't going to be so focused on Sam.

Totally obnoxious but, I noticed that during filming productions, the cast actually do scream out their lines, that would explain why their "whispering" lines are so clear cos they're not whispering. I guess by shouting their lines, it makes editing and ensemble with the incidental music easier, I dunno, I'm not a filmographer major, so wouldn't exactly know why they do that.

The episode, the preview photos looks good and made me want to watch it, this episode preview however, it's really so-so, will have to see the actual episode before I could pass judgement.

no, but I doubt this episode will be about wraith x asuran war

It doesn´t mean it will be boring and stupid
I am looking forward to this episode. I am not too thrilled by S4 so far (I am still waiting for the story arc to begin) but this episode really looks like interesting team story.

I don't think it's supposed to be directed at anyone. That would be mean.

This week's ep looks like a thriller filled with suspense and action. Hopefully it will win over a lot of fans.

JM said something about the teaser looking like something out of one of the "Saw" movies. I've never seen those, anybody want to tell me if this is a good thing?

Saw was a suspenseful Thriller. Never saw them, just from how they were advertised. Basically it would seem people are going to go nuts while shooting eachother to save themselves. Sorta like "Phantoms" but a lot more clever it would seem.

Oh good. I loved Phantoms.

Oh good. I loved Phantoms.

Rodney: You shot me
Sheppard: Yes Rodney, I said I was sorry
Rodney: But you shot me
Ronon: He shot me too
Sheppard: I'm sorry for shooting everyone.

LOL! Love that. It was a good team ep, and it looks like TR's gonna be one too. That makes me happy.

It is a *very* good thing. When the first SAW movie opened it started off with two guys waking up in a bathroom chained to pipes. It makes you ask "WTF did these two guys do to get in *that* situation?". And what is intriguing about their situation is the two guys are just as clueless as us, the viewers, about what's going on and it makes us want to know more about what is happening just as much as they do.

I fully expect that will be sort of thing what we can expect from the opening tease of Tabula Rasa and maybe even the whole episode.

Thanks! Maybe it's gonna be one of those "flashback" eps like Sunday.

another stupid and boring episode... there's a war between the Wraith and the Asurans!!!Why the hell don't they make an episode about it??

I had the same beef with SG-1 season 10. You have an interesting arc, but 60% of the episodes (arbitrary number) are focused on stand-alone plots.

[Ltcolshepjumper]

I have a slight feeling that it will open up similar to Memento Mori, where whoever it is will find themselves without any memories. Then it will back up to the start and then fastforward to the present.
