Originally posted by greytopThe best episode of the season so far. More to come after the weekend.
This episode felt so like the show I feel in love with. It was a Stargate episode to me.
Best episode of the season thus far.

Originally posted by Bandersnatch* The Jumper is a neat ship -- good way to toss some new toys at the team. I don't watch Stargate Atlantis, so this is the first time I'd see one. It could have great potential for the series. Plus when O'Neill blew up the mothership, it shows that big things can come in small packages ... yeah, cliche, sorry.
Pity you because you've been missing out on an amazing first season of Stargate Atlantis.
Envy you because you still have the entire first season of Stargate Atlantis to experience.
To Infinity And Beyond!

I thought this episode was excellent. Going off-world is one of the biggest reasons SG-1 is so great. Spaceships are cool, but the core of the show is the gate itself. If they don't use it then something seems not quite right (if you know what Im saying).
I didn't like Gemini, but the last 2 episodes have really started to get everything going in the right direction again. Keep up the good work.

Originally posted by KelsoWell, the entries on the stone tablets contained dates. For all we know he could have dated his first entry.
True, but this is a key point (even if not dwelled on) and we shouldn't have to guess at the answer or come up with a solution for a problem that the writers don't appear to have noticed existed, esp. not when all it would have taken was one sentence to clear it up. You know, Daniel saying: "There's a notation here as to the date it was written down, and it comes out to only 250 years ago."
It's not the audience's job to plug holes in the writing.
J."He's an amazing man. After everything he's done, he's still modest. Quite self-effacing actually. He even likes people to think he's not as smart as he is. Bottom line, he's an incredibly strong leader who's given more to this program than any man has given to anything I can imagine."

I only have one question that I couldn't figure out here: Weren't the ruins a good long distance away from the city? I could have sworn that Maybourne made some comment about how far he had to walk to get there the first time....right? But then how did the Jaffa and the people in the city hear the earth weapons firing? The guns aren't that loud, are they? Or maybe it was just the sound echoing off some nearby cliffs? I don't know....There is only one thing we can ever truly control: whether we are good, or evil.

Hey, anyone know where that Ancient was hiding? You figure, if he wrote the facts down on the tablet, he probably actually witnessed it. Possibly cloaked in the Puddle Jumper?Yes, I really do look like (a younger) Daniel. Don't believe me? Look for yourself.
Hey, Mitchell! You want a turn?

And what about the ship, are they just going to leave it there."Basically, what I'm saying is that I am colossally flawed, so if you don't like my opinions, exercise your freedoms and disagree. Or, quite frankly, don't read any further, as that is also your right." (Micheal Shanks' TV Guide Blog, May 17, 2007)

Originally posted by acdj31I was wondering about that too, maybe he disguised himself in with the villagers just like Daniel and Teal'c.
it's almost like she needed to keep him king...or of course there's also the idea that she has a crush on him
Originally posted by acdj31And what about the ship, are they just going to leave it there.
i doubt it. it's too valuable to leave lying around. betcha money jack flew it back to the sgc...although how it fit in the gateroom is anyone's guess

The thing that bothered me the most was Maybourne being able to translate Ancient that well. It was a little too implausible for me. Yes, he did all that work with the NID and rouge NID, but I just don’t think he’d take the time to learn Ancient that fluently. Then again, I could be wrong, but I just found him being able to translate Ancient a little out of his realm of abilities. I could more readily believe that Daniel could look at a stone with engravings and determine a date when it was created. I’m guessing he’s going by the first entry on the pillar to get a rough estimate of when it was created.IMO always implied.

I enjoyed this episode ...if for no other reason then I just like the Mayboune character.
I have lowered my expectations overall for the second half of season 8 AND I am taking extra care NOT to be spoiled for any of the new episodes. I really believe that these two factors have really enhanced my viewing pleasure and I am just having a good time watching SG1 again.
Granted I am sure that this whole episode is a *set-up* for more down the road. As many have pointed out things here and there that really just don't add up BUT I have to say I just don't care I just took the entire episode at its merits and enjoyed seeing the whole team back together Off-World. Add to that the pomposity of Maybourne and knowing what a huge fan Wayne Brady is of the show...I just really enjoyed myselfLife is short, Forgive quickly, Kiss slowly, Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably, And live out loud with no regrets..
