'Cloverdale' (205) General Discussion

[g.o.d]

But yeah felt like The Changelling all they way. Actually it was exactly like the Changeling. Think about it...

really? I hated that episode. One of the worst I saw on SG-1

[Carter's Boy]

yes totally boring... just waiting for the miracle at the end. ive loved this show until this ep... but can we get a different ep format, not so super drastic til a miracle end or cliffhanger where preview solves last ep issue.


discover **** in /about the ship that wont be dangerous or fatal

[DigiFluid]

I loved how this episode was in the vein of The Changeling. One of the best episodes of SG-1 IMO, so it was nice to see them take a similar tack here without just retreading. Sure, this was in no small way just waiting to see how Chloe's 'condition' would save the day in the last few minutes, but it was an entertaining ride!

I loved the little '50s/Eureka-esque town, particularly the wide angle shot of the bus pulling into town near the beginning. The evil plants were a lovely re-take on giant plants not really seen since Zero Hour or even One False Step. And the make-up on Scott's arm, good god. EW

There was also a lot of hilarious stuff in this one, this is the first SGU ep that I've largely laughed through. The blatant MGM self-promotion was a riot, I loved that Brody owned the bar in town, I got a huge kick out of James as the hot ex-girlfriend waitress at the bachelor party, I was pleased to see LDP again, and oh man....I freaking howled at Rush in cowboy boots

[Generic Blue]

i like how you assume everyone is disappointed, when i thought this one delivered what i was expecting, i enjoyed watching a alternate destiny crew, it was funny, and the switching from the dream to real-life and back was well done, what i really liked was the fact that they didnt take the entire episode leaving you wondering why this happening, like in "the real world" or other episodes.

CLIFFHANGER

[Franklyn Blaze]

I fast forwarded through the entire middle section. Only saw about 15 minutes of the entire episode but I didn't miss a thing and guessed the ending to boot.

This episode is so bad it gives crap a bad name. Please don't reuse plots, it's like using your old english essay for another class but with the same teacher you had last semester. They just might notice.

[spinny magee]

I actually found this a bit underwhelming

[pipi]

This episode was pretty lame, even for a filler. If you have such a short fuse that one lame episodes stops you from watching an entire series, then CYA!

[the Fifth Race]

Why is that TPTB with SGU have to use gimmick's that waste an entire episode. The writers must be really struggling to come up with something that isn't basically a copy of any number of other scifi shows. Am I the only one that really misses Stargate and Atlantis?

If this means growing, then they already lost me with this new series. That all being said, I do hope it sticks around for a few seasons to see if it simply gets better.

[timmciglobal]

It was boring lame copy of a stargate episode with a less interesting hook.

Chloe's "cure" lasted all of 43 minutes... that was worth wasting an episode on.

I'm really getting tired of SGU right now.

Tim

[timmciglobal]

You know what annoyed me the most about this episode? It wasn't that it wasted a plot element (now everyone knows the cure didn't work on chloe so we got all of 43 minutes of episode time for rush's grand plan) but that the writers are on a huge spaceship named destiny in season 2 and do this crap. The changling (the episode that this is a cheap annoying copy of) of SG-1 was in season 6 which is when the stories had to reach further and it had a great "surprise" at end that is that the reason for these hallucinations was them sharing a symbiote to keep bra`tac alive. This ending you could of seen from the other side of the galaxy.

Also... so... they had to rush on to destiny because the ikarris planet was about to explode so they took very little with them... very little and FLAMETHROWERS?

REALLY? FLAMETHROWERS? ... and fuel..

Idiotic.

This is why SGU is having so many problems. The "hook" of the show is they are on a ship millions of years old on other side of the galaxy and what they keep doing? Going to earth... eating dinner... having hallucinations about going to earth... having hallucinations about eating dinner at earth... It's like if neil armstrong took his first step on the moon and said "Does anyone know what rerun of lassie is playing at 6 tomorrow?"

[Rocksy]

UTTER UTTER GARBAGE!!!

seriously this show is getting caned by the critics and you put this in the line up?
get a grip, this show is becoming as pretentious as Pink Floyd.

FIX IT!

[meo3000]

That was s**t, dont know who wrote and directed this, but its not helping this series at all.

Im trying very hard, watching every week, trying to find positive things but i get disappointed every time.

The ship in sinking and im getting pissed.

[PG15]

Also... so... they had to rush on to destiny because the ikarris planet was about to explode so they took very little with them... very little and FLAMETHROWERS?

REALLY? FLAMETHROWERS? ... and fuel..

Idiotic.

How soon we forget. Greer made his own flamethrower back in "Water", remember? They didn't bring it with them.

The fuel I could see them bring, since that's useful stuff. Or maybe Destiny has its own form of fuel. Or they made it from offworld planets. Who knows.

It's interesting actually. The other invention in that episode, the Kinosled, was also featured in this episode, and Cloverdale and Water are the only episodes to feature these inventions.

[wingsabre]

I didn't like this episode, but who knows, maybe it'll get better with time. There are certain episodes of SG-1 and Atlantis that I didn't like the first time I saw it but it grew on me. That's always the case with certain sci-fi shows. I didn't like "The Shrine," when it first aired, but liked it after watching it again. In STDS9, I really disliked "Far Beyond the Stars" when it first aired, but I now really like it.
