While not that important to the overall plot of the episode which is basically Riley dying. I found that a bit too convenient, if I didn't miss anything, to have Greer simply stumble on the Stargate like that. What are the odds...Currently watching: Dark Matter, 12 Monkeys, Doctor Who, Under the Dome, The Mentalist, The Messengers, The Last Ship, Elementary, Dominion, The Whispers, Extant, Olympus, Da Vinci's Demons, Vikings

The shaking stopped when the connection failed. They finished clearing the event horizon and dialed out. This is canon; the most notable mention was in "A Hundred Days," the gate was still active when buried causing the rock to harden away from the event horizon. In that case, the gate was able to connect.Last edited by Stormtrooper; 06 October 2010, 06:52 AM.sigpic

I'm sorry guys, I give this a thumbs down. And not because Riley is dead (why didn't they just sever his lower torso?), but because... well it all just feels a bit hollow, forced, and lifeless (pardon the pun). It's great there is a new set for us to take in, but otherwise the episode left nothing but the faintest of afterthoughts which soon blinked out of existence.
I also see the ol' Vancouver quarry makes a comeback after trying so hard not to in season 1. Hopefully, these first two eps are a clearing of the throat in preparation for the overture that is to come.sigpic

CommanderZelix, my personal view is that characters and their interaction is more important than plot. I've loved several movies with no plot at all where only characters keep me engaged. I liked SGA but I'm not sure if I could sit through some episodes if there wasn't McKay and his humour... because other characters were pretty clichee. But you are a person for whom the plot is more important I understand.
I haven't watched Fringe since, I gues, episode 12 in the first season... after that I lost interest. Maybe it has improved but from what I saw the characters were clichee and not that interesting... and the show was pretty cheezy. But maybe I should try to check some episodes, especially this one, if it is so good.Last edited by latvian_stargatefan; 06 October 2010, 05:51 AM.- the guest member of SGU book club

They have anti-gravity tech, inertial dampeners on board and all the cool stuff, I wouldn't be surprised that mountain suffered a lot more than shuttle did- and, in fact, we saw that the exterior of the shuttle wasn't really damaged.Bless the Maker and all His Water. Bless the coming and going of Him, May His passing cleanse the world. May He keep the world for his people.

My only issue with this episode is that they killed Riley *sigh* The characters I like always get killed *shakes head*
The rest of the episode I really enjoyed even with the lack of ChloesigpicSig by Everlovin My YT|My other vid site|My LJ|My Photobucket|My ImageShack|"Stargate is life, Sam and Jack are happiness, Shippers are almighty" by hlndncr
