The End of King Arthur
After season 8 was over and I started reading spoilers for s9; Arthurian mythology was implied to be a major plot this season. At least I assumed the mythology was going to be involved in more than barely two episodes. Is Avalon going to be the only episode about Arthur, Merlin, and round table etc.? I've been staying away from spoilers and writer's blogs, so this question could've already been asked and/or answered. Were you satisfied with how much Avalon got into this mythology and would any of you like a few more episodes with this mythology involved? How would you like it put into Sg-1 if you're not satisfied already? I'm not sure myself, but would like to know whether this storyline has been dropped.

Based on the titles of the last two eps of the year I wouldnt count out the Authurian mythology yet.
I guess the names could qualify as spoilers so
Spoiler:Joseph Mallozzi -"In the meantime, I'm into season 5 of OZ (where the show takes an unfortunate hairpin turn into "the not so wonderful world of fantasy")"
^^^ Kinda sounds like seasons 9 and 10 of SG-1 to me.
Thor, ya got Aspirin?
AGateFan has officially Gone Fishin (with Jack, Sam, Daniel, Teal'c) and is hoping Atlantis does not take that same hairpin turn. -
like AGateFan said, last two episodes!
And I had assumed we'd have more Norse Mythology when Thor was introduced.

That's a long time in between episodes; the first and the last episodes are the only ones.Originally posted by AGateFan[/QUOTE] could only be referring to a mass prior religious invasion of some kind and not have anything to do with Arthur unless it's part 1 of two episodes. Again, I have not read any spoilers and don't intend to so this is just speculation.Spoiler:Things I've learned about the Stargate Universe:1. Don't kiss a goa'uld.2.

I believe Season 9 has a two-parter finale with a cliffhanger... that means it'll be like Atlantis Season 1 finale and Season 2 opener aka two episodes at the end of the season and one episode as the opener of the next season... so technically a three-parter.Hallowed are the Xander.

Great then. I can't wait to see how they'll wrap up the three-parter next season.Originally posted by Xanderic

I sure do hope that they taugh base on the hole Avalon, king Aurther Myth. My only problem with it is that the Myth is based here on Earth and the Ori don't know about our existance. Unless if King Arther and all of that was built when they fled and Avolan is a flying city that was kept in our Galaxy to defend against the Ori. Leaving Atlantis to go and explore another Galaxy just in cas they need to retreat, again. More like an Alpha Galaxy.*Post in Peace, Yah or Nah*

I don't think the legend has to do only with earth (at least in the stargate universe) I heard somewhere, can't remember though, that Camelot was supposed to be a whole nother planet and Avalon was the ancient name for earth. But then again wasn't earh's name Terra Atlantus? Anyway just speculatingOriginally posted by LORD MONK
Thx for the info Xanderic, that's all I really wanted to know. That, and other people's opinions about their satisfaction of Arthurian legend in Stargate.Originally posted by XandericThings I've learned about the Stargate Universe:1. Don't kiss a goa'uld.2.

Personally I think the Arthurian Legend will come back when they realise the true nature of excalibur. Only Cameron could wield it and its too legendary to just be a simple sword. Only a hunch but I think that in Camelot they will use the sword to find something to fight the Ori Crusade.Originally posted by LORD MONKsigpicComment

Sounds like a pretty logical hunch to me. I would be disappointed if the sword turns out to be nothing but a fancy hologramOriginally posted by Steve_the_Wraith
only mentioned in 'Avalon' but don't tell me if anybody knows. I like surprises.

Exactly. TPTB wont base an enemy on a Myth and then not go through with it. Eventually they will bring the hole King Aurther back into play.Originally posted by Steve_the_Wraith*Post in Peace, Yah or Nah*

Interesting idea, but as Daniel said, the sword in the stone was never Excalibur. I do hope that they find some way to work Excalibur into the show, though. Maybe the Lady of the Lake, too.Originally posted by Steve_the_WraithThornbird: I'm Major Robort Thornbird. And you are?

Thornbird: Your dog tags say otherwise.
Jack: ... They're lying.Comment

I went back and checked the transcript and your right the original sword in the stone isn't excalibur (although in some legends the lady didn't create a new sword just reforged the broken one). If the original sword was destroyed then theres still the chance that the sword SG-1 found was excalibur.Originally posted by TheCorpulent1sigpicComment

Very cool topic.Originally posted by LORD MONK
Didn't we hear in Ep1 that Merlin was probably Ancient? In the Arthurian legend, Arthur was supposedly almost killed (by his incest borne-son) but only "almost' died. And that just before his last breath, Merlin "spirited him away" to Avalon to sleep until the hour of Britain's greatest need-- Arthur would then return to fight for his people.
Sounds like a lot of room for a season finale dealing with an attack of the Ori and the defense of Earth by Merlin the Ancient and/or the Ascended Arthur.
What d'ya'll think?
