    Okay let's call a spade a spade. When I first read this shi - oops - cr@p I didn't know what to think then I just started laughing (and not from joy) and I actually hurt myself when I fell out of the chair. Now that I have had time to stop laughing - it took several hours - I think I can post something on this shi - ooops - crapola. Be warned it is a rant of phenomenal proportions as I can no longer contain myself.

    Between this and the car chase/motorcycle wheelie junk it seems that the show has truly descended into the depths of cheesy (extra-cheese on that show please) sci-fi caricature dreck that one is used to seeing cross the screen of skiffy with no hope of return. It took them awhile but they have done it to one of the best sci-fi shows made for 8 years. I had to ask myself who the he!! is writing this shi - oops - cr@p? It cannot be the same people that wrote unique, intelligent drama for 8 years previously - it must be that the poeple we knew at bridge are gone than I saw the writer and the director and I thought oh well they have just fallen into that same old group of people that sell their souls for money. Why anyone at bridge would want to be associated with this type of dreck and with such a fall from grace is beyond me but that is their prerogative.

    This is perhaps the worst description of an episode since, oh yeah - last week. What a shame that the spoilers for S9 and now for S10 just instill more and continued contempt, criticism, mocking, fear and loathing when for 8 years they instilled excitement, joy and anticipation. I truly believe that the b@b are conciously trying to tank this show otherwise they have compromised themselves, their integrity, their self-respect and the show beyond repair, IMO.

    The only thing remotely good I can say about the spoilers for mm (the motorcycle wheelie escapades) and bounty is that at least the BIG 3 are not mentioned to any great degree - this way they cannot be compromised too much (I hope). I would rather see them written out of the show completely than have to be involved to any great degree in the cheesy, sci-fi crapfest that this show has turned into. If this IS the show skiffy wants, and if the b@b are willing to sling this type of shi - oops - cr@p to give it to them then I for one am glad AT, MS and CJ are not that involved in it. I must say that I do feel sorry for Daniel/MS being stuck as vala's foil when she's not attached to mitchell.

    As much as it irked me that they took Carter's motorcycle penchant and gave it to mitchell I am truly thankful the BIG 3 will not be around the cheesy motorcycle wheelie nonsense and the car chase and the deli amnesiac, I am thankful that it is not Sam, Daniel or Teal'c at some cheesy reunion acting like a twit. I am thankful to TPRTS that they are keeping mitchell and vala together while keeping the BIG 3 away from them - my hope is that we get some meaningful scenes with, and between, the BIG 3 since they will be separated from the 2 clowns and that is exaclty what mitchell and vala are - CLOWNS. My hope is that if TPRTS continue to shovel this dreck that the BIG 3 are kept separate from the 2 clowns so that their characters and their reputations are not too terribly tainted by this shi - ooops- cr@p.

    For anyone that says give it time, how can you judge it on the description - well let me tell you I judged S9 on the spoilers (when you said the same exact thing) and S9 turned out WORSE than expected so based on my history of accurately calculating shi - oops- cr@p from the spoilers I have absolutely no fear that this episode, as well as several of the others so far spoiled for S10, will be exactly what many are predicting shi - ooops cr@pola, dreck, nonsense, embarrasing, cheesy, sci-fi schtick.

      binkpmmc as usual I agree 1000% percent.IMO AT MS and CJ have to get off this Show quick before it is too late.Season 9 and now 10 are nothing like SG-1.I mentioned this on another thread.SG-1 was good enough to last 8 Years why did TPTB have to change the Show this much? It is impossible for me to warm up to Mitchell and Vala.IMO Scifi is to blame for this mess that is SG-1.I really wish Showtime kept SG-1.

        Yeesh. Can I trust no one with the noose?!?
        You can trust me to use it to choke off ridiculous and repulsive story ideas before they hit paper, much less the screen, and then truss up those same cliche-poxed, competence-rotting monstrosities so they may be safely packaged and conveyed post haste to the nearest incinerator for infectious waste. I'll even collect a course of ani-biotics, copies of "The Elements of Style" and "Writing for Television" and "How to Write Science Fiction" for the writers on the way back. Whoever has the CDC moonsuit can administer them.

          Seriously, when I read that spoiler, I was at work, and it was all I could do keep from laughing out loud. Then, when I realized that it wasn't a joke, I had to bite my hand to keep from swearing and asking "WTF?!" numerous times.

          There was a time when I used to LURVE to check GW for spoiler updates. Now I dread it, and will avoid it like the plague if I can help myself.
          My comment word for word Spazzy. I'm not so sure I can even give 'em 3 eps anymore. At this point all I can be glad about is they are having fun. Too bad that doesn't translate to me enjoying the show.

            May I add J. M. Straczynski's Complete Book of Scriptwriting? It's a fascinating read.

              <snip?
              The Mitchell scene that he's tied up to a bed and Vala finds him like that sounds like a bad porno. Bridge really needs to fire who ever came up with that idea...

              I thought Vala alreasdy did that in eps 1-6. And I'm sire the on;y reason she didn't in the last 2 eps was because she was 7 months along.

                    Well, it's how I describe her also. And with all the cliches that go along with it. Though I doubt they had those types of living quarters where she grew up.

                        that fits too.

                        im sure vala's cleavage will be well represented.

                        it's really too bad. CB is capable of so much more, so is ben, but they're both being saddled with such shallow characters...what a waste of talent

                          The thing that gets me is that they are becoming the focus of the show. If they were more in the background, I wouldn't have such a problem with them. Personally, I liked the way they brought in Jonas. They didn't throw him in our faces every opportunity that they got, meanwhile you see a character that was struggling to be accepted. Though I guess they can't do the same thing twice.

                            "I truly believe that the b@b are conciously trying to tank this show otherwise they have compromised themselves, their integrity, their self-respect and the show beyond repair, IMO. "

                            I agree! I really thought the whole thing was a joke but it is not. I wonder if the big 3 as actors worry about their careers? I know the paycheck is important but most artists dont like to compromise on their art and I just can not imagine AT, MS and CJ have not noticed this dreck!?

                            Cam and Vala together--well why dont they just call it as it is--the big reunion of Farscapes golden couple. This makes me crazy--do they really believe there is enough of a fan base for this?

                            Is trashing out this show the only way TPTB can think of to get their "new" show?

                            Cambo will no doubt pull out his quitar and lead a sing along at this high school reunion! I need an avatar for disgust!

                              Indeed. Isn't James Tiberius Kirk from... Iowa? Perhaps having Mitchell attend school in Kansas is some sort of attempt to have Mitchell be Kirk's enter-however-many-greats grandfather, ancestor, local culture-hero, whatever - as well as a way to shoehorn him into the Wizard of Oz riff.

                              Could we please shoehorn him, and Vala, into the next cargo container headed to the Alpha Site that ends up somewhere far, far away that doesn't have a working DHD???? THen the 'third incarnation' of the show can be about looking for the lost darlings, just so long as they do it with all the enthusiasm they showed for their own 8 years of backstory in season 9. :very evil grin:
