S10: Critique & Contemplation

[suse]

No way Janet's story was going to be big. Characters like Jack and Janet were a reminder of what the show used to be and it would reflect bad on seasons 9 and 10.

<<missed something>> There was a good reflection of S9/S10?

Bwahahaha.... but still no green for me to give out.

Maybe this week when atlantis starts I will get out more. (someone had to remind me it was on.....and I am far more interested in seeing Hellboy, but I am going to TRY to catch Atlantis.... in fact I will go set my DVR now...so there).

Read Shanks' TV Guide blog, mentioned that "Talion" was one of the best Teal'c episodes. That made me recall some comment on this board that in "Talion" Teal'c finally has to face what he did as First Prime of Apophis.

Correct me if I'm wrong ... wasn't "Talion" a simple revenge story?

That's what I remember. I think Teal'c faced his actions as First Prime in S1's "Cor-ai."

Gawd, Talion was just awful. Teal'c regressed to a phyco killer and the team's effort to stop was seemed ridicules.

Luckily there wasn't many "teal'c" eps...I fear just how badly they would have butchered the character if there was more.

Talion was just as bad as bounty but a different type of bad...if there is such a thing.

Out of season 9 and 10 there is only one ep I would actually watch just once more. Ripple Effect, just to see Frasier tell Landry off.

yeah, talion was teal'c getting the crap beat out of him while he avenged the death of a person he hadn't mentioned in 10 years and who died close to 100 years ago

[Skydiver]

see, talion would have made sense had he been avenging ishta. or if his mother's death had been mentioned once or twice over the years. IIRC, the ONLY time 'mom' was mentioned was in Bloodlines, when T is looking for his family and he says - about the outcast camps - that he and his mother lived in one such camp. I don't think he even said that she died or how she died

[gateraid]

Yes but they took a leaf from SGA and made it happen off-screen. It's where everythin happens you know? One only needs to mention it right before it is required and years of exposition is instantly caught up on

The embarrassment that is PU is getting a surprising number of votes on the favorite Hammond episode thread. Some of you may want to come by and vote for other episodes.

Why would that ep get any votes, it made Hammond and EVERYONE look bad.

[Jackie]

wasn't that the ep where Vala beats the crap out of Daniel?

It wasn't really a Hmmond ep was it?

[jckfan55]

^ Yep. Hammond takes the PRometheus out on the mission & everyone is bumbling. Although Hammond does a heroic thing to retrieve crystals (?) it's very bad. It was on Scifi in the reruns & even the chance to see the late DSD couldn't make me watch beyond the teaser. Bleh.

200? He was a *voice*.

Thanks for reviving this thread. After that Q&A over on Joe's blog with RCC and some moments in Continuum my Anti status has been reconfirmed.

I was rather hoping tome would have softened my thoughts. No such luck.

Continuum...? Oye, it wasn't much better than AoT.

Just had the "pleasure" of renting it for 99 cents. Way too many plot holes for me. Even sci-fi addict hubby caught a few. It was rather rushed with the "special guest stars" and all the hype about jack...only to find very little jack in the film.

I half expected Mitchell to turn out to be his own grandpa. LOL.

However, I did like the scene with Landry.

Stargate Continuum was actually Stargate Mitchell.

How does a character that was on the show for two years and two years that were the shows worst get soo much screentime? AOT and Continuum were hugh waste of times. I feel bad RDA had to be a part of Continuum. I guess it's good he only had about 5 seconds of screentime.
