'Air, Part 3' (103) General Discussion

[Daniela]

Perhaps that other ship is the Lucian alliance or it could be an alien species from the galaxy-maybe that sand thing.

[the-alguroan]

it was pretty good, like everyone else wondering about the pod at the end.

also for some reason i feel like the two who went through the gate got eaten by a dinosaur.

[Burns]

Rush did what he said (talked to the SGC)

[Gallienus]

I was under the assumption that the two who went off-world would be lost permanently. Or at least that's my interpretation of the facts given thus far. In reference to the above, it seems the kinos don't move very quickly at least for now and perhaps going on foot is a faster proposition? I too noticed what appeared to be the second, apparently undamaged shuttle leaving the Destiny at the very end. However, I'm not entirely sure if what was shown was meant to imply the ship left or "broke off" It did -seem- to be moving away under power, but it wasn't clear to me. And moreover it could have been something entirely unrelated.

So far I like the dysfunction between the people involved on this expedition, and the duplicity of Rush, first ordering a man shot, then putting the blame on someone else, perhaps for revenge? At any rate it's a far cry from the typically well ordered Stargate teamwork and it hopefully it is an unstable element that wont be forgotten down the line (as it was in Star Trek Voyager). I am certainly curious to see how things go next week.

So far i am very disappointed, I was bored at times and looked at the clock many time to see when it ended. If it continues like this im sure it will be cancelled.

I thought the ep was quite boring. I got less excited for SGU now, although It'll probably get better..

This was the weakest entry into the opening 3-parter, in my opinion. The character moments between Greer and Rush were off, and the only parts I really enjoyed were Scott/hallucination alien, Chloe/Mama Armstrong, and anything on the ship. The part on the desert planet was great for about 10/15 minutes, then collapsed into tedium until the final ten minutes. That said, I'm very interested in the probe at the end.

So, tally so far:

"Air, Part 1" - ***1/2
"Air, Part 2" - ****
"Air, Part 3" - **1/2

[Burns]

The LA have nthing to do with the rest of SGU calm down

[Burns]

do you think the wisps (sand tor)are the acncients (yes spelling not my strong point)

[Teresa35]

I am really liking this show, I was at the edge of my seat towards the end, I won't spoil it but those who have already seen it may know what I am referring to.

[AVFan]

No, in one of the Atlantis episodes (believe it was in season 5?) it shows that it goes both ways.

Atlantis never featured/used the stones at all.

EDIT: I'm a liar haha. It's the one with Keller and that criminal I think.

[Squires]

I thought this episode was quite boring. I kinda feel let down.

Agreed. We just watched people wander around a desert for an hour.

I know the show is just starting, so I hope it is just slow at picking up momentum.

If thats the parts you liked it seemed liked you enjoyed a fair chunk of the episode. I won't argue it was the weakest but it was quite good

but it's nice to show how the clock works along with the fact the answer isn't going to come so easily like it has in the past
