Full Alert (814)

[Wass]

I'm of the opposite opinion. The Trust wasn't that interesting for me cause they were like every other criminal of every other show. Making them goa'uld made it a little more exciting for me. They have more potential as goa'ulds. It's also fun trying to guess who's a goa'uld and at what point they were possessed.

I agree with you it was nice unexpected twist.

[Kelso]

I'm wondering how the Goauld angle is going to play out next year. Carter said that they could have brought a lot of symbiots. What is the higher agenda?

[greytop]

I liked the female Russian captain.

I don't want to read through the whole thread, so this may be brought up and asked before. Does anyone know which System Lord the guys from the Trust work for now, since being implanted with a symboit?

Otherwise it was an okay episode.

[Naquida Guy]

They never say outright who the goa'ulded Trust was working for. Daniel assumes that its the system lords, but Kinsey never gave details.

Spoiler for Icon and Covenant:

The Icon 'reference' I was thinking of was when the Russians begain to loose control of their nukes to the Goa'duled general, much the way the war begain in Icon. I find Icon more intersting because of this, since it seems it was actualy foreshadowing events of the season, this episode, and Covenant, when the secret of the gate is nearly revealed, the very secret which destroyed the nations in Icon. It could have just been another Daniel Jackson trapped somewhere episode, but instead the writers chose to give it some latter meaning as well.

Well, I thought the point was that if you acted dishonorably and with folks like Kinsey, it makes you MORE vulnerable to the goa'ulds, because you're working in the same playground as they do...but they've had centuries more experience to get better at it. To a certain extent, being the heroes DOES give you an advantage (if you're smart) because you're less vulnerable to goa'uld tactics [because of your ethical base] and somewhat less predictable to their mind set.

[Thek]

I guess I'm the oppisite of most people then.

*sighs*

Besides that, I believed this was way too predictable. It honestly felt like the writers had no idea how to get rid of the Trust through Earth-bound, political-bound ways and so they took the easy way out.

Whoopy, more Gao'uld bad guys that they get to blow up.

Of course, I'm just restating what I've said already.

[Cinephilic TV Addict]

Parts were predictable, but that doesn't mean they weren't done much better than most episodes this season. Give me something that I can watch without having my inteligence insulted to many times and I'll be happy - Full Alert was one of the few episodes that did that.

Predictability, by the way, insults my intelligence less than things like bad plots, stupid writing, etc. At least when you're predictable, you can still film it well, like in Full Alert (also, anyone who watches 24 can tell you that predictability is okay if it's done well).

So, I agree that kinsey gua'oulded was obvious, but they didn't do it poorly, so I was satisfied. It's plots like Prometheus Unbound and jokes and endings like It's Good to be King that really urk the crap out of me, because they should have been thought out much better.

*Jack and Kinsey scenes at the beginning were fun - you can really tell RDA lifts his game working with Ronny Cox. And Jack carries a gun when he goes to buy groceries - who knew? Guess I don't blame him with all he's been thru.

What? Everyone doesn't do that?

Sorry...couldn't resist...

[greytop]

One of the scenes I found funny was when Jack was going to call the sheriff on his cordless, Kinsey unplugged it. Jack just pulls his cell out of his pocket. The look on Kinsey's face was funny.

Ok. Quick post B4 GW dies again.

Good ep. Well acted, well written. Good Jack action. Kinsey snaking a little obvious, but oterwise a good ep.

[Metarock Sam]

A nice round the world trip for daniel with more russians goa'ulds and propaganda then you can shake a stick at.
