Third SG-1 movie ("Stargate Revolution") Ship Free hopes/speculation/ideas

No, actually, not just because of that, although his narrow view and misguided sense of character worth and popularity don't help. I just don't think he is a very good writer.

Actually he's the WORST writer of all of them...

Which stories of his didn't you like? A few examples of what you don't like and why, might help.

In point of fact, the "old" ones actually were NOT explored to death. Much was left unexplored regarding Daniel and his grandfather/his time as an ascended/his childhood. We knew nothing about Jack's parents, whether he had any siblings; there was never any answer given as to why he left SG-1 for Washington.

Fair to whom? Those fans who only started watching SG-1 in the last 2 years because of the Farscape actors or those fans who have watched for many years and still want to know more about their favorite characters?

Janet, IMO, was a much better written character than Dr. Lam and there was very little exploration of Janet during the 7 years. Just because a character is new doesn't necessarily mean they are interesting and in need of exploration. I think a character needs to be interesting before people will be interested in exploration of that character. And IMO, the (poor) writing for Mitchell and Lam precludes me wanting to know anything more about them.

Clearly your mileage varies, but "fairness" has nothing to do with it, IMO.

ok I have to nit pick a bit here the part in bold I take issue with I discovered SG-1 in 2006 in U.S. syndication I never watched Farscape prior to watching SG-1. I decided after I got the SG-1 DVDs to get the Farscape DVDs so not all fans of Cam and Vala are Farscape fans following BB and CB and I know for a fact there are 2 others like me discovered SG-1 then checked out FS so let's not use that broad stroke shall we.

I also like the characters of Landry and Lam and I liked their storyline it was one of the few saving graces of Family Ties for me. I think there is some truth to LiR's statement about the other characters story lines each being almost completely told I noticed in season 8 for Teal they were starting to grasp for straws a bit and after the Gou'ald were defeated season 9 and 10 stories were harder and harder to find for Teal'c. The biggest shoot themselves in the foot was the death of Jacob. That hurt future storylines for Sam. I am not saying that Sam shouldn't be part of future she should and so should Teal'c and if they can find a good reason for Jack to be there too good that's why I don't have issue with Jack being in Continuum it makes sense from the character's history why he would be there.

There ya go; I changed the wording in my original post. Does that work for you?

[Ripple in Space]

While I enjoyed both DVDs, I hope the third one is nothing like these two. My hope is that DVD #3 returns back to the basics of S1-8 (pretty much what tptb have implied actually).

As the end of AoT implied, that's really what we should be imagining SG-1 doing pre & post Carter's stint on Atlantis.

Since

Spoiler:

it's strongly implied that Carter has now rejoined SG-1 since Atlantis S5 has her removed from command of Atlantis, and Continuum takes place after that.

I'd like to see an episode with SG-1 exploring a new world, plain and simple, and running into all sorts of mischief, with O'Neill along as a representative of Earth before things go awry, and then thrust back into action.

hi,

It seems the "Continuum" could be awesome at least in similar way as the "Ark of truth" does.

IF Baal could be able to change timeline, why would he treat SG1.

Why wouldnt' he just go back before stargate program or better go to Dakkara - it was his territorium for a long time - after Annubis finally falls, trick out free Jaffa then use the "rebirthinator" of ancients and create new life, as Annubis once supposed to do, the Baals-friendly new life in the galaxy, collect all the technology masterpieces and rule until the end of the days - it sounds like a deepest dream of any Goa'uld systemlords.

But "Continuum" is probably just a fantasy movie. It should not follow exact storyline of previous SG1 seasons. The only one thing is important - watching SG1 team saving the world once again makes all the fans happy.

It'd be awesome, awesome, awesome. Just plain, real old-school SG-1 with newest additions to the team. No big ships fetish, no space battles, just a solid good story with lots of good character moments, doing what we're supposed to do at the first place. Explore!

Absolutely! That's what it's all about.

After seeing a certain movie my biggest wish for any third one is that BW be kept as far away from it as possible!

WE didn't see eye to eye so I can't believe I'm saying this but you're 100% correct...

Did RDA's voice seem a little higher than usual in your opinion? During the first part of the movie it took me a moment to realize that it was in fact him speaking. I'm wondering if there was a sound problem on my end or if other people thought his voice sounded higher.

His voice has been a bit higher in recent years, it happens as we get older, men get higher and women get deeper!

[amconway]

Could you guys discuss Continuum via PM rather than here? I've worked really hard not to hear anything about the movie or see a pirated version and I'm almost there. That would be much appreciated.

[jenks]

I'd like to see Rob Cooper do another one, either that or Martin Gero.
