So I watched the episode and I have to say it's the second episode this season I would actually watch over. Sure I had some cons but the pro out weighed them at last. The team actually acted more like a team in last night’s episode.

Spoiler:

I knew about the Prometheus and Pendergast before I started watching so I was ready for it, although still sad to see them go. I enjoyed them. Sam help build the ship and she knew it like the back of her hand. The next ship I hope she worked on at area 51 so she can still have the same role on it. It was nice to see Sam working on the details of the missions ... Science Sam is always so much fun.

CON now I miss Jack and I hope he is mentioned in episodes so I look for it - That said I have a little nitpick as to why the Writers would give the Mitchell character the lines reminding the audience something JACK SAID It just seems out of place for Mitchell to mention past missions or recap Jack's dialogue or feelings on a subject he’s not familiar with as Sam, Daniel, and Teal’c are. They are the ones that share the connection/family/bond to Jack. I'm just saying it would hold more clout for S/D/T to mention JAck.

Overall it was a good episode, Teal'c could have done a little more I think, still it was nice. The team was more pronounced in that they were working together. I liked

Spoiler:

Daniel's dilemma while in prison and trying to keep peace between two nations. It really showed the side of Daniel I like. Teal'c and Mitchell's reaction to Sam when she came into the room after the Prometheus was lost was touching. I like that Mitchell offered to put the f302's between the Prometheus and the satellite weapon, even though the satellite did provide the fatal blow. Teal'c's line was funny something about that may not be wise, or something to that effect. I agree with whoever said this show provided a moral dilemma like in "The Other Side" I enjoyed that s4 episode as well.

And on that note I leave once again. Sorry for the fly by post. Have a good weekend everyone.

Hey, Pennsy is good; it's very good. And, just to make things interesting, I'm gonna root for those gutsy Steelers, especially since my Eagles tanked this season!

Hmm? Is this one of Daniel's alien languages everyone is using
F-O-O-T-B-A-L-L now that sounds alien to me

[Mandysg1]

Go Leafs Go

Hey AT grew up in Toronto, she is a Leaf's fan

[Skydiver]

all in all, i enjoyed the episode. shockingly enough cam managed to keep his smartassing under control

i think my biggest beef

Spoiler:

sg-1 runs off to 'help' an alien planet and no one mentioned calling thier bosses and getting permission?????

i would think something of this magnitude would require permissioin from the general. and who the heck was landry leaving in command of the base anyway?

my issue with this, they lost promie. they lose 20-30 people. if no one higher on the food chain gave sg1 permission, cam and sam are court martialed and will be blamed for the loss of life and property

it just goes further to prove to me that whomever thier military advisor is s/he ain't doing crud for a job. maybe beau couldn't have been in the eps. happens. but there should have been a throw away line 'landry's given us permission to go to the planet' (unless i missed it)

other than that, i enjoyed the rest. nice pacing and 1000 times better than icon, which was a cheap rip off of the english patient and very boring.

I'd assumed Carter is a Broncos fan:
Ascension screencap

GO STEELERS!!

Where are the Carters from?

This is how I figured Pennsylvania.
I looked at AT and noted she is not from US so we can’t use her hometown.
I looked at CA and looked at his hometown and he’s from Sharon Pennsylvania... so I went with that. Has this ever been established in any of the books or is there some general fan fic consensus on this?

I know O'Neill was born in Chicago but raised in Minnesota (at least I think I know this)
And Daniel is from New York but pretty much raised out of country (again I think).
Hammonds from Texas
Teal'c is from Chulac.
Wonder where Fraiser was from...The women get no development it seems.

Sadly I have never seen any of the books where one may get these types of details..... hmmmmm maybe I should start picking up the books. I liked the Star Wars and Star Trek books well enough.... hmmm

EDIT: Sharon PA appears to be 50MI NW of Pittsburgh near Youngstown, so either they would be Pittsburgh fans or Cleveland fans.... or maybe they are BENGALS fans Hey I can hope.

Probably just have the Denver sign because they live in Colorado and shes trying to fit in but her heart is with the hometown team.

[Mandysg1]

I found last nights episode more barable and like the old SG1, so yes I did use up precious video tape on it

Spoiler:

I was so sad when they blew up the Promethius After all it was Sam's baby, and poor Colonel Pendergast, he would have been been accepted as a part of SG1 (sniff)

Look what lack of leadership did Let Sam Lead
I think the only reason they had Teal'c in the space ship with Cam, was so people wouldn't cheering for it to get blasted.

The reunion scene was good, eventhough they didn't hug you could really feel the emotion between Teal'c and Sam

It was good to see Cam less obnoxious and toned down. That's how they should write him.

I believe the writers were poking fun at the fans who complain about the leadership by using the General's chair.

I have an idea give Cam Teal'cs lines and Teal'c Cam's lines, that way we hear that much out of him.

As for the ending I thought it should have Sam and Daniel, after all they had known Pendergast the longest and worked with him the most, you could tell that there must have been a friendship between the two of them when he called her Sam at the end

Spoiler:

I'm not clear about shooting schedules, but wasn't this episode in the can before the brouhaha? I think it's more likely that

Spoiler:

the writer was poking fun at SciFi for creating this situation, assuming that Mitchell's rank was indeed a SciFi directive. Whatever the case, I thought Mitchell's little dance of indecision went on far too long. BB really isn't that funny, IMO.

My general thoughts:

Spoiler:

Found the ep enjoyable overall and certainly the 2nd best of the season. Keep in mind that it's all relative, of course. I was extremely confused about whether and when SG-1 got leave to undertake this mission. What SG-1 planned to do was a big deal, and the lack of approval from a higher-up made no sense. The beer scene was also very weird; wrenched me completely out of the story. Regarding the command issue on the Prometheus, I was displeased that Carter didn't clearly make a decision. Finally, I found it inconceivable that SG-1 would take President False Pretenses at his word about the deal. Regardless, why leave that Ori-derived tech standing in any case?

my review of tonight's ep (ethon), samandan style


spoilers for s9

Spoiler:

sam was good in tonights ep.


cons -

co-command. make it sam or mitchell already.

pendergast and the prometheus are gone!! (i really loved the prometheus... a lot of good memories/sam scenes from that ship)

teal'c should have been piloting the ship, not mitchell. (new character taking another established character's role? *snort*)

mitchell drinking beer on base? not sure how i feel about that, but it's a small nitpick.


pros -

co-command. *i know, i'm schizo * as long as NewBoy doesn't take everyone's roles... i loved seeing the moment when mitchell asked sam if she wanted landry's seat.

the battle scenes and prommie being shot at was *fantastic* and then it was destroyed...

good moral dilemma stuff.

daniel was daniel. (love that side of him)

ernie hudson was good. and ended up a good guy!

no one-liner mitchell!

nice sam-teal'c-mitchell reunion scene. especially loved the sam-teal'c moment.

daniel being depressed when he thought his friends were dead. scenes like that make up (somewhat) for the crap we saw in eps like new order. (remember how busted up jack was at sam's presumed death?... he played with the lights. teal'c frowned a moment. daniel at least asked about sam!, but pushed it off quick enough to joke with teal'c about waking up jack)


(dreading next week's ep... all that leather and mitchell's prob just saving his one-liners to use in one huge setting.... *whimpers*)


all in all, a very good ep.

sally

I think you've hit all the points I would have. I would just say my favorite part was

Spoiler:

Teal'c and Sam's little scene. As we know, he doesn't just hug people but the way he grabbed her arms and held on was great. Did you notice he still had his hand on her arm when Mitchell started introducing the woman leader? Like he just had to touch her to make sure she was real. And the look between them was very powerful. 2nd point: Daniel was acting like Daniel! Yay!

Again ditto to your comments.

The Landry/Bridges thing and your solution occurred to me too. Can't say it would have taken too much screen time.

For those RDA fans, here is a much better URL for his Super Bowl Commercial. It includes an interview and the making of plus...

This is factually untrue. Sam left SG-1 to do R&D. Tealc left SG-1 to do politics. Daniel was angling to go to Atlantis. Mitchell was rewarded with SG-1 for his heroics and he took the intitiative to try and get the team back together. Mitchell did NOT kick Sam out of her position.

i know. but i draw a line between getting the team back together and TAKING OVER said team. u can't give a pilot the front line time because he's a hero, u have to do it on merit or ur risking the mission and people's lives. i wouldn't be so annoyed if they told us his experience and why he has seniority (or, more accurately, doesn't have it since TPTB haven't exactly made the chain of command clear).
from all that we know of both characters, Sam should be CO. if they're going to make her that, do it. if not, make it mitchell, but tell us why. their AF correspondents must have told them u have to have a clear chain of command (i could rack off a good number of instances in which people not knowing the CoC has hurt my flight).
note: don't get me wrong, i'm eternally grateful that mitchell brought the team back together! (though it wasn't like TPTB we're going to let him fail)

Spoiler:

teal'c should have been piloting the ship, not mitchell. (new character taking another established character's role? *snort*)

that was pretty bad, ur right. But at least it was the only mitchell role-stealing for this ep! That’s a good start. On the other hand…

Spoiler:

I think the only reason they had Teal'c in the space ship with Cam, was so people wouldn't cheering for it to get blasted.
