The Fourth Horseman, Part 1 (910)

[bcfc]

Good, Strong episode some funny scenes with Dr Lee and the music, and good to get some insight on the Ori's past.

Glad to see Hammond and Bratak back, and Orlin bit weird seeing him as a kid though. And a good ending with Gerak seeing him as a Prior.

Look forward to the follow up.

The tenth? That's next month! AAAAARGH.

This one was very good. I liked the use of Orlin. I almost always like it when long-forgotten characters return, but when they fit as well into the story as Orlin did yesterday, that's a bonus. What he said about the Ori makes them more sinister and also makes the whole Ori/Prior/Worshipper setup more believable. It even redeems the Ascended Ancients a lot - their reason for adhering so rigidly to their Prime Directive suddenly becomes clear.

I liked the title, cos it basically says "a plague breaks loose". Usually I like surprises, but sometimes it's more fun to watch something with a sense of encroaching doom .

It was a wonderfully ensemble-ish ep. Each of SG-1, Lam, Landry and Lee got their slice of the action, and Hammond and Bra'tac were welcome cameos. For the first time I got through an entire ep without Landry irritating me, which might have been cos the story was so gripping or maybe I'm developing a tolerance for him - but either way, .

There were a lot of close-ups of Sam. Sam's looking much older all of a sudden, but very beautiful. Not many women get more beautiful with age, but AT seems to be managing it. Either that or she's got a better make-up artist this season.

Is it January yet?

That was a great ep. But SKY is being turned off at our house cos we can't afford it so I have to wait until the DVD to find out what's gonna happen... Life's a *****!!!

[Stricken]

This was very good. We had a long-forgotten character return and the fact that they fit as well into the story as Orlin did makes is extra special. We seem to find more out about the Ancients in every episode which makes the Ori seem bader and bader each episode. The Ori/Prior/Worshipper was a slight shock but makes some great possibilities.
It involoved some of the best actors on SG-1 with Lam, Landry, Lee, Hammond and Bra'tac all getting air time. There were a lot of close-ups of Sam. Great Cliffhanger ending, can't wait until January

The Fourth Horseman, Part 1 recieves a S.G.C rating of 8 out of 9 Chevrons!

I just wish the Ori didn't go from 3-dimensional evil guys to 2-dimensional "suck the faith out of followers" monsters.

Still enjoying it though.

So, I've been sick since Tuesday, right. And they get to Four Horseman today, and I have pretty much those exact symptoms! I have Prior Plague!

That really sucks for you!

I loved this episode for every reason that's already been mentioned. Can't wait til the 6th o' January.

Sorry Sky One viewers.

[the fifth man]

Can't wait til the 6th o' January.

Man do I hear that. I never thought it would get here, but it really isn't that far off anymore. The 6th of January, yes, it will be a blessed day.

[IMForeman]

Damn. I'm getting better. Guess it's not Prior Plague. I was so hoping for a trip to the SGC.

[Daniel's_twin]

I don't think we'd want it considering the spoilers I've been reading.

[Chaka's_Mum]

I like the revelation of what Origin really means for followers. It was inevitable that the Ori would have an ulterior motive (hey - they're bad guys. That means they always have an ulterior motive ), and surprise, surprise, it's a biggy. They wanna wipe out the Ancients - and they're using a hokey religion to do it. Talk about bad taste...

I also enjoyed the way that Orlin was trying to interact with Sam - despite being a kiddie, he still fancies her! Now that's what I call uncomfortable!

And what a cliffhanger! The look on Bra'tac's and Teal'c's faces was an utter picture.

The only good thing about having to wait until January is that I don't have to hope like hell that the Gatwick Premier Travelodge has Sky One...

Roll on Part 2

[Daniel's_twin]

My dad thought that they rushed this plot line too much, but I think that they did need to explain why the Ori are so interested in us, especially after Daniel had popped the question back in The Powers That Be. It was a good move to go for it in this summer finale rather then the season finale, or too many people would've thought they were never gonna answer the question.

I liked this ep a lot. We learn that the Ori are (surprise surprise) even more evil than we thought, and it's a good cliff hanger. I didn't like Orlin coming back as a kid though. I thought the actor did a good job, but why bother?

Best moment though was when Mitchell + the others were ambushed, and Mitchell just instantly reacted and started kicking ass. Admittedly he didn't win, but it was still cool to see that his experience in Babylon will continue to be useful. More hand to hand stuff!
