The Torment of Tantalus (110)

[luthienberen]

The fact you think the show is declining in quality.

So ... you think that my belief that the show is declining is based on my not understanding what is going on? I'm confused.

[captain jake]

Well i can't explain everything.

All I said is we don't like what we don't understand.

[luthienberen]

I understand why TPTB did many of the things they did during Seasons 7-9 and I *still* do not like it. My dislike is not based on not understanding but rather on many other issues - quality of writing one of them. I believe that during S4-5 writing quaility etc declined but improved dramatically during S6 only to fall spectaculry from S7 onwards. But I'm off topic now so I'll vamoose.

Perhaps you don't like the writting because it is new to you, is that at all a possibility? Or is it just extremely trashy writing? Because I think most of it is pretty good.

[Chelle DB]

Well...what can I say. It was ok but I must admit, I did get somewhat bored with it. Poor Earnest - fancy being on your own for that long. I suppose it has it's pros and cons. A shame they didn't get to take all the information back home with them. It was good to see them fire up that gate with lightening - very clever. Ben Franklin would have been proud!!

No, I do not dislike it simply because it is 'new'. In your opinion the writing is good. In my opinion the writing has been very poor for the last few Seasons and is growing worse. I have stated my reasons for my disafaction with the show in S9 in your letter to TPTB and I have explained elsewhere why I dislike Seasons 7-8 and even parts of S4/5. Check out the 'Unpopular Opinions Thread'.

So, no, it is not becuase it is 'new' but that I genuinely think that the writing is poor/dreadful.

Also, I saw Seasons 1-8 in reruns all in one strecth so it could hardly be 'new' to me by S7-8.

It is ALL opinion and NOT fact concerning the quality of writing, acting and direction of the show, so please do not try and pass off my opinions and concerns off as as simply 'she doesn't like change'.

I like and enjoy change: Seasons 6 was a breath of fresh air, with Jonas bringing good change. Change is not always good nor are 'new' things immediately good or bad.

I think the new Star Wars flims are excellent.

Does that answer your query?

it was great to learn about the alliance with all 4 races but ill be glad when we finally see the furlings

Okay so I just watched the episode AGAIN. Like other people who posted in this thread I think we really really need to fly back and recover the library room. It was the safest place in the castle and surely survived. Think of the history it could have in it.

Good luck finding it on the bottom of the ocean floor. I've said it before, even it if it wasn't demolished the first time, by the time we got our first Ha'tak it definitely would have been destroyed, and by now it's totally a goner.

Well something might of survived like some writings not a lot.

People, The Asgard are personal friends of ours and guess what they helped build that place. Not only do they have that information but they have learned allot over the past couple thousand years. When they believe we are ready for it they will give it to us. It would just be stupid to go looking for more knowledge than we could handle. Besides I don't even think we could retrieve it if we wanted to is that thing waterproof?

Just watched this tonight and felt the same way. I don't think this is the only place this info was stored.

Favorite allout Stargate Episode. This episode is amaising on so many levels that it would take forever to list them all.

After seeing the flying Nox city I personally think the Nox built the buildings of Heliopolis. They shared the same conical dome structure for the tops of the towers. Don't have screenshots, but I'dlike to see them side by side.
