S10: Critique & Contemplation

[ReganX]

Spoiler:

Someone's going to have to be sacrificed. It'll probably turn out to be something like "In order to get the weapon you'll have to sacrifice someone."

Spoiler:

Let me guess - Mitchell will hewoically volunteer to sacrifice himself for the greater good and his sacrifice will prove that he possesses all of the virtues and is worthy.

Alternatively, Vala could volunteer because she feels guilty for Adria.

re: QUEST



Maybe it'll be a Wizard of Oz kind of thing?

Spoiler:

Prudence: Mitchell
Wisdom: Teal'c
Charity: Vala
Kindness: Carter
Faith: Daniel

Eh, I'm not sold on that config either... :shrug: All I know for sure is that when I read the amazingly coincidental

Spoiler:

number of virtues

I nearly bust a gut laughing.

Spoiler:

Prudence: Mitchell...Um, not unless he's banging dating someone named Prudence
Wisdom: Teal'c....Yep that works
Charity: Vala... Well, maybe if she forgoes her usual fee, or gives the team a discount
Kindness: Carter...yep, definitely
Faith: Daniel...Um, didn't he lose that a long time ago

Now as for Sacrificing a virgin....

Spoiler:

Vala

Well...

Spoiler:

Depends what Daniel has been up to in that brand spanking new body he got at the end of Threads because technically...

FF in the gutter, so no change there then

Spoiler:

It'll either be Teal'c, Sam or Daniel (In that order or likelyness) who will be sacrificed.

Okay, perhaps 'Wizard of Oz type thing' wasn't the best phrasing. I meant something along the lines of 'irony' or perhaps 'inverse'.

Spoiler:

Mitchell is somehow 'ironically' prudent because of his brashness; Teal'c is wise despite not being a bookish person; Vala blah blah blah etc.

As I said though, I admit that it's still a reach. Unless it will have to do with how each of them have changed over time.

I can't believe I'm giving this serious thought when I should be watching Python.

Ah but it was Stargate SG1 that was sacrificed at the beginning of S9

Sorry DEM, I just couldn't pass on using your list, for a good S&M moment

You mean in addition to Sam's credibility and all of Teal'c's lines?

Spoiler:

For an actual sacrifice, I'd agree. For the sacrifice where simply being willing to sacrifice oneself proves worthiness, it'll be Mitchell or Vala.

If I remeber correctly MM got 1.6, same as the SGA ep, and the last ep it droped to 1.5. SGA has been much more steady this season, even if it also has lower ratings then last season. I hope it will pick up, I really enjoy SGA now and hope it will continue for quite some time.

I hope it does too. I've been enjoying SGA a lot more than SG-1 since last season.

Not sure if this has been posted already but if you think you can stomach it, here are a few previews for SG-1 tonight:

Words fail me.

[JessM]

i doubt they'll draw the parallel. after all, musn't make any mention of sam's past. Vala's is all that counts.

Spoiler:

and these boys seem to be doing any and everything they can to ignore sam and jolinar and trying to make 'ex-host' exclusive to vala

Ooh yeah, good point, that. Any mention of Sam's past is strictly verboten now, for fear of upstaging the new star female team member.

Spoiler:

Ah but it was Stargate SG1 that was sacrificed at the beginning of S9

Spoiler:

Yes, but the "old" characters need to go since they can outshine Cambo and Vala when used properly. Plus TPTB disagree with your statement

That was phase 1, the "Destroy a character completely" phase.

Spoiler:

For an actual sacrifice, I'd agree. For the sacrifice where simply being willing to sacrifice oneself proves worthiness, it'll be Mitchell or Vala.

If only...

So true. *sheds a tear for that great show that was Stargate SG-1*

Spoiler:

Well, they may end up keeping Daniel since he's one half of Vaniel. Can't lose one of the ingredients of a contrived, possibly romantic pairing with a good source of laughs, right?

[AGateFan]

Hmm five characters and

Spoiler:

five virtues.
I wonder if they'll meet someone along the way who will hand out a sword, a bow and arrows, a dagger, a vial of healing, and... you see, this is why you only have teams of four.

I have to say I can't think of anything worse than Daniel representing all the virtues. I've never been able to see that purity, and the old "I'm too good for ascension" was more than enough for me, thank you.

Santa Claus!!!!
