Episode: Origin [SG-1 903]
Good Performances: Daniel Jackson, Vala, Mitchell, Gerak, Doci
Bad Performances: O'Neill
Noteworthy Scenes: Ori/Doci talking to Daniel, Arriving on Celestis, Gerak's Entrance, Self-Mortification of Prior
Advantages:
- Interesting new enemy
- Prior creation by Ori (Third last scene)
- Mitchell's speech to Prior on planet
- "Daniel Jackson made us aware of your need" by Prior
- Gerak's interaction
- Powerful abilities of Prior
- "Yes, he did say something" by Lam
- Prior Scarification
- Teal'c & Mitchell working together to destroy communication device. Realistic because they had to delay the dialing sequence and they just wouldnt have gotten there in time.
- Beautiful sets (especially Celestis).
- Prior Presence on Screen + Prior costumes
Disadvantages:
- Unnecessary O'Neill cameo. Bad Acting.
- Needed more emphasis on the burning of Sallis/Hallan (sp?). Showing them burn like they showed Vala burning would have been very effective because they were innocent (kinda).
Comments: Very interesting Episode. The enemy, though they look primitive seem to have ships. Cant wait to see the ships (especially in Beachhead)
