Off The Grid (916)

[Tok'Ra Hostess]

With the replicators now gone, the Asgards really have nothing to do so while they are replenishing their own stock of ships, they are helping Earth build a fleet as well. In exchange, we give them all the M&M's they want. Yellow is Thor's favorite.

LOL! Makes sense to me.

Alpha or Beta Site, I'd wager.

You know, it would be really cool to have a building site on that Unas world(Enemy Mine), with, eventually, one of the ships having some Unas crewmembers on it.

Or maybe I've just been reading too many Terry Pratchett Night Watch-based stories, lately.

[Solanalos]

Ok I can't believe the number of people who have commented on the whole "they got teleported while sitting and then appeared standing"

I would have been bothered by this except it's already happened before on Stargate Atlantis
Sorry I don't remember the episode name?

Spoiler:

Shephard is beamed off an F-302. He's obviously sitting in the cockpit. He appears on the Daedaelus, very much standing

Hasn't the reversed happened before in an older SG-1 episode? Someone is beamed down into a chair? Well that'll take some combing of all episodes where Asgard teleporters are used

[GateAngel]

maybe because it was cheaper to use the same scene twice??????

lame i know but that seems to be a trend

But that's just it, they weren't the same scene. If you look at them and listen to them, you will notice the second time around, the actors are in slightly different positions and they have slightly different lines of dialog that even have a different delivery to them.

Unas Crewmembers? Doing what?

I'd think they'd be very afraid of even seeing the ship.

Its already been said somewhere, there are tons of underground bunkers all over america. And anyway, theres only been 3 ships. that ONLY = 3 bunkers.

Tok'ra tunnelling crystals would create an underground facility in about 4 hours tops and no one would detect them being created. At the most they would come off as minor earthquake tremors.

After that, all they need do is beam in the equipment or set up some transport rings.

A lot of people have already covered the annoying points about this episode. So I'll keep this short.

This would have been so much better if it had just been about Baal stealing the stargates, rather than having 2/3 of the episode wasted on the Mitchell/corn idiot session. Underneath it all I could see an interesting, simple story trying to get out.

Nit-pick; why would you beam your team into the junction of a corridor where they have to wonderful opportunity of being shot from three sides rather than one?
Big-pick; Mitchell - what is he? 12?
One of the reasons he never hooked me was the stupid "Now that's what I'm talking about!" from the first few episodes. Nice to see he hasn't developed in the mean time.

The show was so Corny.

hahahahah corny get it .....cooorrrrrnnyyyyyy. ahhahahahahahahah

I crack myself up.

That's why I included the word, "eventually."

And they've seen Goa'uld tech and were able to overcome their Goa'uld masters and keep them away, so they may have hidden depths.

Hey if Ferengi can be scientists....

I knew someone was going to pick up on that.



I was going to end it with a request that they Cut the Corn.
But I couldn't find my drum kit.

I was hoping Sam would punch him for the Mary Poppins crack. Yeah it was funny... but seeing Cam sprawl would've been even funnier.

True, but Sam's too professional to do that in the middle of mission, however well deserved it would be.

Does this mean that the Lucian Alliance will be 'stalking' SG-1 now because of the corn incident?

The Mary Poppins crack was one of the funniest lines in the ep, mostly because it was too true. For people posing as drug dealers, they were way too clean cut, and it cracks me up that Sam had on her usual makeup and hairdo. I guess going undercover doesn't include changing hairdos or adding makeup.

Sigh. I had a lot of problems with this ep, and I wasn't thrilled with Mitchell. He came across as a bit of an idiot. I can't help wondering why the writers are writing him that way.

[jckfan55]

i agree. instead of showing us the dash for the gate twice, show us them rescuing cam from the baddies. why waste a precious minute on the same scene whenyou've left a plot hold the size of seattle.

REminded me of Monty Python: "Scene Missing" --What an amazing escape!

Yeah, I didn't take it as a comment about Sam being weak. Sam's a crack shot, good at hand to hand combat, extremely intelligent - and I still think no one would buy her as a drug dealer. She's not devious enough.

I guess going undercover doesn't include changing hairdos or adding makeup.

Although it does include taking off your glasses. I find it funny that when Daniel is going on a planet as himself, with the same potential danger, he wears his glasses. But, when he's in disguise, he takes them off.

Daniel is Superman!
