Hmmm. Well I guess so, but I still thought it wouldn`t be any great loss either if they did. Yeah, he was a bit more mature in this one, but his comments about "babysitting" the IOA or whoever they are people were just. . . I couldn`t help thinking of something I heard long ago. "When you point your finger at someone else, there are three more pointing back at you." He`s been babysat by the rest of the team quite often himself.
LOL! yep! that's the first thing that came to mind when i was watching that scene

I just got done rewatching "The Scourge" a little while ago. And I, as usual, liked it even better on the second viewing. I really enjoyed the team chemistry in this one. Mitchell, in my opinion, is starting to really fit in quite well with the rest of his team.sigpic

i'm glad she was rough with them, because they needed to get their hypocritical heads out of their a$$es and see the truth.

I forgot to mention earlier...
...The comedy! This has beena bone of contention all series and i reckon this ep had it sorted. Dry quips, straight faces, wry smiles, it was much better. And the starship troopers line at the end, very clever, the rest know its relevance, the audiance too, but not teal'c and im glad they kept it that way.
I also liked the way that once they were back and they survived they were over it, time for movie night, it shows that yeh it was a close one but ya know, that was it, it was a another mission, no point dwelling on it, and thats how its gotta be, they cant get bogged down thinkingl about bad missions becuase they'll get all depressed and be a liability.
movie night, also a good one, shows they are friends out side of work so to speak, something that was mention in off the grid it just seemed like they were thrown together at the last min not knowing each other.
one minor niggle, the odessy (sorry if the sp is wrong) yes, beaming them out this time was a good idea, and they fact the delegates went first i liked BUT they have gotta stop beaming them out of sticky situations! this time it was acceptable, but in off the grid there was no need, but now they are ruining it when its a good ideaGood Evening, Good Nite, GOOD BEER!

Originally posted by DEMThey did? Please remind me. Honestly asking here.
(The only semi-relevant example I can think of is Ascension which, IMO, doesn't count: It was clear that O'Neill & Teal'c's visit to Carter's house was an unusual and unexpected event.)
The Curse - Teal'c and O'Neill fishing trip
Ascension - Even without Carter, it was still Teal'c and Jack
That one when Jack invites Sam on the fishing trip (I think at the end of s4)
Upgrades - when they go to the steak place
End of season 5 - when they all go some place to eat (I think)
Lost City - When they all go to Jack's house
Threads/Moebius - fishing trip
And maybe some more.
But it was different with Jack really because he was first and foremost their leader. Cam was friends with Sam before he joined sg1, so it seems more natural their friendship would be more like that (remember his comment in Avalon about buying her breakfast when she gets back).

Nah, that would have involved actual intrigue and peril. Plus it would have been harder to write.

I thought this episode was fair; not good, not bad, but ok and a heck of a lot better than the last one. The pace was reasonable and the representation of time, distance, weariness etc. was fine - use of sky/scenery shots, character's showing the effects of wear... standard but effective fare which was so lacking in Off the Grid.
Teal'c had the best line:
Teal'c: That will not be necessary.
Mitchell: What are friends for?
Teal'c: For understanding it will not be necessary when told it will not be necessary.
I liked Carter's interaction with Woolsey, especially the pep-talk bit. It was great the way she kept a constant low strong voice through all her conversations - AT thinks what she's doing.
The bugs were nicely done - although their noise, er, bugged me; must have been intentional They went from echo-location (sonar, like bats) to sensitivity to sound (vibrations?) through the ground? ok, they're artificially engineered, they turn herbivore to carnivore when they like too, doesn't matter. Just don't shout or jump about... anyone else expect Carter to warn "wormsign!" and Teal'c to whisper "Shai-Hulud!"?
Another last-second beam-out seems a bit much twice in a row, but at least there were obstacles to overcome in order to make the beaming work.
While the pace of the episode in general was ok, I didn't get the same sense of immediate desperation which comes through the replicator episodes. Given that the idea of being eaten alive is particularly nasty, a bit more urgency could have shone through.Last edited by scarimor; 19 February 2006, 04:33 AM.scarimor

Shen: Your Chinese is supposed to be quite good.
Daniel: Not as good as your English.
Shen: Of course. What about him?
Daniel: We are still teaching him.
Cam: Go to hell.

Edited to add: Someone smartly pointed out in another thread that, should anything have gone wrong in the retrieval of the jets, Carter would have been better equipped than Daniel to protect the advisors and get them off the planet.Last edited by DEM; 19 February 2006, 05:45 AM.

Originally posted by rarocks24It was okay....well not really...every time I see Carter it seems she changed, or has changed. She seemed a little hopeless in this episode (bordering on the wanting to die type).
Also, I still want to know when Woolsey will get his medal for saving SG-1's collective azes by crying and stomping his feet and insisting that they be the ones to escort them to the surface.Joseph Mallozzi -"In the meantime, I'm into season 5 of OZ (where the show takes an unfortunate hairpin turn into "the not so wonderful world of fantasy")"
^^^ Kinda sounds like seasons 9 and 10 of SG-1 to me. Thor, ya got Aspirin?
AGateFan has officially Gone Fishin (with Jack, Sam, Daniel, Teal'c) and is hoping Atlantis does not take that same hairpin turn.

Originally posted by AGateFanI just got the impression she really understood how scrwd they were, and no one else did. Unlike Mckay however instead of freaking out while trying to find the solution she held it in while trying to find a solution and was probably annoyed by all the interruptions to her train of thought by a bunch of little kids who had no clue about the seriousness of the situation.
Even if they were a bit cliche and you knew SG1 would survive, the man eating bugs did seem kind of threatening. I mean, who wants to get eaten alive by insects. Ick!
I noticed they went for a very choreographed lineup at the end with all of them with handguns. Carter starts with a two handed grip, then switches--to match with the guys' one handed firing?
