Arthur's Mantle (918)

Arthur's Mantle is my favourite season 9 ep!

i like this ep just the fact that there invisable and all Mitchael does is complane about food. i do love that when cloaked teal'c can see him. altho it is a bit strange.

Was it ever explained what hit the Iris in the beginning of the episode? It sounded far too loud to be a normal person, as those thuds are quite quiet.

i don't know i will watch it again and see but if anyone else finds out before then please tell as

It sounds like it could have been a blast from an energy weapon of some kind rather than a person. Since there's a battle or firefight going on in the background while the person is talking, a stray bolt of energy could have gone through the event horizon and hit the iris on our side. Just a thought.

[gateship15]

wow i never thought of that

This is the third straight episode in which someone said, "piece of cake". First as a pun ("Off the Grid"), then sarcasm ("The Scourge"), and now seriously, but followed by sarcasm.

I am not a huge fan of the Arthur story line at all. I did like the start with the ori but once they went this way I pretty much threw up my hands. I know they liked what the first team of writers did with the old myth of Gods and History but this was too limiting and also uninteresting.

While Sam and Cam out of phase was funny. I got tired at this point of Dr. Lee going from a smart person to a major moron. It was funny but after a while I would cringe. Really after the plant problems he had in season 8 you think he would get fired.

The show's side story of Teal'c and the warriors was better and felt a bit more like old school SG-1. I have to say when Dr. Jackson got taken out of phase too I was laughing pretty hard. Mostly when he made fun of carter for saying the translation would go faster. This was an episode where I watched it and it was good but it was missing alot of the good old Sg-1 charm.

6/10

i agree by this point i was starting to lose interest and was finding it hard to watch it

I thought this was a pretty good episode. Volnek goes all "Evil Dead" and I like the banter between Dr Lee and Daniel.

[gateship15]

lol agreed

[mrscopterdoc]

I like this episode one of my faves of the season.

Well, bottom line:Mitchell and Carter in another dimension, Superweapon to stop the Ori, Sodan dead, Volnek gone crazy. The End.

[rushy]

:We're trapped in an alternate dimension!
uperweapon to destroy the Ori!

:Volnek murdered the Sodan!
:The End!
