S10: Critique & Contemplation

[Gregorius]

They did seem to do a lot of rip-offs parodies/homages, that didn't work...Vala's hairdryer comes to mind first

I seem to have surpressed the memory of the episode you're refering to.

[jasminaGo]

That was a parody?

I thought it was just plain stupid. (I cannot even begin to think of a way to say that without being so blunt yet retain the meaning of my statement.)

I found that part quite sad. Instead of trying in some measure to get close to the quality of Star Wars, they fell down to copying Star Balls

Smart man.

Smart man.

I do remember playing a lot of tetris while watching S9/10.

The Quest (had to go look it up, though don't remember if it was part 1 or 2), where they had to put something valuable to them in a box in order to get out of the force field?...Any way Vala takes a hairdryer out of her back pack

Is that the ep with the hyped-up lame dragon, and Ba'al that has been altered into some kind of idiot?

If so, I think I remember the scene you're talking about and I severely disliked it. What does it refer to anyway? Hammerspace?

OK, this one I actually looked up. I'm feeling very ignorant about cyberspace today.

I want to say she pulled it out of her backpack, but I'm not sure.

Ignorance in bliss in the case of cyberspace. Next time I'll like to an article on an encyclopedia instead of having you search.

Parodying a parody.... Oy. At least it wasn't super-sized. Dude(tte), she was an alien, if anyone knows there's no place to plug it in, it's her!!

Perhaps it's related to Mary Poppins bag... Diane Duane calls it a otherspace claudication.

Remember Princess Vespa (the Druish Princess) in the desert, refusing to leave behind her hairdryer (supersized to a good 10X normal size) because she "...just can't live without it!!!".

I think it's time for Spaceballs.

*whines* But the rest of Diane Duane's stories make sense.

It's always time for Spaceballs. Or Monty Python.

Stargate Season 10? "Run away, run away!"

Oh. My.
Really?
It's a frightening experience reading this thread when you haven't actually seen most of Season 9 & 10. I had thought they weren't taking the continuity very seriously, including a couple of their previous story arcs and even characters, but this is beyond the pale.

Were TPTB just sick of SG-1? That's the only explanation I can come up with. That they were tired of it and decided to poke fun at themselves. Although I understand that 200 was meant for that, I also have to admit it would have been extraordinarily out of place in the first four or five seasons, and so it just seems to me that they weren't taking anything very seriously there toward the end or they'd never have written an ep like that in the first place.

[Gregorius]

TPTB wanted SG-1 to end after S8, it's why all the major storylines were wrapped up in Threads, and start a new series named "Stargate Command". I believe they were stopped by SciFi who wanted SG-1 to continue, so we got SG-1 with a SGC flavour and with ridiculous plots which caused a lot of discontent.

I can picture Landry as Pesident Skroob: "You have got to help me, I don't know what to do! I can't make decisions! I'm a president general!
