And as you say about Landry. I was suprised to see him on the ship there and I really didn't feel he fit in at all in that position. I have nothing against Landry, him I can stand a little at least, he's no Hammond but still OK. It really just felt like they put him there just cause it was the last ep, and considering they were no where near SGC or a Stargate I suppose there would only be room for him in a bout 20sec right at the end otherwise. Meh, I was so depressed when I watched it, I had to re-watch the last 5 eps of S8 the day after.
Since they wereSpoiler:going to meet with the Asgard about something so important, I could see Landry going along (though it was a stretch) but it would have made more sense for him to be more like an observer, IMHO, than being in command of the ship. He still could have ordered Colonel whoever to leave with the others, so just the main cast was left on the ship in the end.

Have the ship's commander there, and have him beam to the surface with the others.
Plothole fixed.
They had the man signed for five episodes. The plot called for him. I really don't understand why RDA wasn't there. Shoehorning Landry in wasn't just illogical, it wasn't necessary.
But since he was there, why didn't LandrySpoiler:call Mitchell onto the carpet for his complaining? It was bad for morale and not behavior befitting a leader. Not to mention annoying. Reinforcing Sam's guilt is a stupid way to support her efforts to solve the problem.
Having dimished expectations let me actually enjoy some of the episode. It wasn't as bad as I expected, so I damn it with faint praise.sigpic
In memory of Deejay.
May we all be so well loved.

As for Mitchell...
Spoiler:I agree completely. He shouldn't have even left his room if all he was going to do was comlplain and, in the process, highlight the guilt Sam must have been feeling. The tearing up his room scene didn't bother me, though. In fact, I particularly liked it because Cam's frustration was handled well. He took out his anger in a private but in a very severe way. It's the most emotion we've gotten from the character since... as far as I can remember.

i agree. the
Spoiler:tearing up the room scene worked
but yeah, landry should have taken cam to task for 'not helping'...or heck, they were gonna reset it all anyway, what if can went nuts and tried to blow up the ship or something and they had to kill him??
not that i advocate killing cam, i don't, but it would be a dramatic illustration of the fact that some people simpy cannot handle containment and they go bonkers

Yes, LandrySpoiler:should have taken Cam to task. He did eventually say something like "I don't want to hear it" but that is a far cry from telling him to shut up and get with the program.
And as far as JackSpoiler:if anyone should have been there with the Asgard it was O'Neill. After all, he's been the one the Asgard have thought was special from their first meeting, for crying out loud. He and Thor have a special relationship. (no, not a shippy one--that's Thor and Sam) Thank goodness we had a decent scene with Sam and Thor. He and Sam had a strong working relationship & I loved that he said he respected her and thought of her as a friend.

Guess we were right that Ark of Truth is going to be The Vaniel and the Bori movie.
I just hope they manage to get all of that out of their systems with that movie and that Continuum will be worth watching.
