Joseph Mallozzi -"In the meantime, I'm into season 5 of OZ (where the show takes an unfortunate hairpin turn into "the not so wonderful world of fantasy")"
^^^ Kinda sounds like seasons 9 and 10 of SG-1 to me.
Thor, ya got Aspirin?
AGateFan has officially Gone Fishin (with Jack, Sam, Daniel, Teal'c) and is hoping Atlantis does not take that same hairpin turn. -
Galling isn't it? After 8 years of constantly proving his loyalty to Earth, Teal'c still caused palpatations when he got himself a flat off base. Jonas wasn't allowed to even leave the base for - what - several months at least? And both of them knew how to keep a secret and understood the meaning of the word discretion.Ok, I know I've said this before; but I don't understand why he is taking Vala? I assume she is not being monitored anymore; she's a member of SG1. She must be totally trusted;
Here we have Vala - the girl who can't keep her foot out of her mouth and whose main trait is to blurt out anything that comes into her head as soon as it hoves into view - allowed to wander around at will wherever the heck she likes.
Hello? Massive security risk!
If they keep letting her interact with the general public and mouthing off all over the place, I can't see the Stargate remaining secret for much longer.

Listen, we had General Ryan come on and do a little cameo for us, and he's a real live four star, one of the big guys. And I had to ask him point blank, because there's a certain irreverence that I bring to the character, and denseness, but while we were doing this scene, I just looked at him and said, "Do you have guys like me in...?" and he stopped me and said, "Yes, and worse, and you're doing a fine job, son."

Plausible deniability. Who would believe her? Especially as soon as they found her lying about something else... and she would end up lying about something else, that’s just in the character as written thus far.
EDIT: she is the official wormhole extreme. Built in misinformation.Joseph Mallozzi -"In the meantime, I'm into season 5 of OZ (where the show takes an unfortunate hairpin turn into "the not so wonderful world of fantasy")"

Exactly. I don't see the connection between the two at all and I didn't see any connection with Sam's promotion and the events of New Order, at the time. I never thought she'd been promoted because of her actions in those episodes. I always thought she'd been promoted because it was well overdue considering everything she'd done for a long period between being made a Major and then a Colonel.Oh BTW, Carter did not get prompted to Lt Col because she got captured. Likely her and O'Neill BOTH got promoted due to that whole, little, itsy bitsy, saving the world thingy in the privious episode. Oh and all the saving the world in the previous 8 years, oh and the saving the asgard from the replicators.... twice (second time with TEAM).... but thats just my guess.
I haven't seen MM, so I can't comment too much on why Vala has suddenly been made an official member of SG1. But if it's specifically because of the events of MM, then that makes no sense to me. There could be a case for it, given her actions during S9's finale/S10's premiere. She was an invaluable source of aid/intelligence then. But if that's the reason, then I'd have expected it to have been stated as the reason in MM. And I gather from comments on the ep I've heard that this wasn't the case. The distinct impression given by the ep does seem to be that it was the fact that she got kidnapped and they realised they missed her that led to Landry 'promoting' her. Which simply sucks as a reason imo.

I watched most of the episode, but when Landry brought out the patch, I had to switch the channel or risk having to use one of my buckets!Originally posted by AlbionExactly.

Well see what the rest of the team told him, when he asked them:Originally posted by Sg GatoOk, I know I've said this before; but I don't understand why he is taking Vala? I assume she is not being monitored anymore; she's a member of SG1. She must be totally trusted; otherwise why place on the blasted team. Heck, she now one of his subordinates. (What happen to regs). Are we going to see Mitchell on one arm and Daniel on the other pulling Vala to see who get's her?
I must be dense as a block of cement because I surely don't get his taking Vala.
Sam:Sorry Cam, I'm...uh...working on a naquada reactor....and washing my hair that night.
Daniel: Sorrry Cam, but I just can't go through that again, not after what happened when I took Jack to mine.
Teal'c: I must refrain Col. Mitchell, I have already made plans to be captured and tortured yet again on that day.
Lam: Sorry Cam, but daddy won't let me date anyone from the base, that's why he's letting them date each other.
Landry: What after that hunting trip we had together, you didn't even ask me to your prom?
Vala:Sure Cam I'll go with you, Sam told me its a very enlightening thing to attend, and I'd learn so much about earth culture. Oh do I get flowers to put in my pigtails? Oh and don't forget you have to take me shopping to get the right dress and shoes, and.....Comment

Agree on all points. SGA definitely seemed way more realistic than SG-1 last night. I won't even get intoOriginally posted by ParadoxRealitiesyou know the thing that freaked me out the most last night? SGA feels more realistic. it takes place in a different galaxy, in a city made by aliens, and it feels more realistic than the top secret military installation on Earth.
for MM and M&MMi also can't bring myself to care about the characters in MM, besides the odd Sam and Teal'c moment...oh, wait...though i did care about Sam in M&MM.Spoiler:

I felt that way about it, too.Originally posted by ToasterOnFireThe biggest problem with MM is that it didn't feel like an SG1 ep at all. It felt like the characters were shoehorned into a crummy cop show or something.Comment

Ditto to everything you said. I feel the exact same way. I've been rewatching S1-S3 a lot lately myself and I keep thinking that if S10 isn't a completely different show (I know tptb have said that "it's season 2 of a new show!" stuff), then it's only a shell of what it was formerly.Originally posted by grasshopper64I have to jump into this thread after seeing Memento Mori, I never thought I would say this but after seeing that I can't be sorry the show is being cancelled. It has to be one of the worst eps ever.......
Spoiler:
Yes I think everyone at the SGC has gone mad or as mentioned before somewhere under some alien influence affecting their behaviour. Perhaps the Foothold aliens have taken over.
Recently I've been re-watching S1-3 and while I know everything wasn't perfect then, there were some bad eps, by and large the show was about the TEAM not individuals or pairings being pushed to the expense of everyone else.
I give up........
I can only hope that if they do a miniseries or film for the big screen, it won't be the same as this...though I don't hold out much hope...Comment

Those would be interesting scenarios. I guess tptb feel they wouldn't be as good, because Vala is so "special" to Daniel. *barf*Originally posted by Skydiver
