That always makes me smile! The British are so refreshingly civilized----glad I married one.....
(These posts tend to be a bit surreal when you realize you're responding to someone's post from months ago---someone who may never even read your response! )
An international marriage makes life a little more interesting, doesn't it?
(I see you're still in the UK---there are still things I miss about living in London despite the number of years we've been over here.... And that's my Disclosure, to keep this on topic!)
Felt the Thor thing coming but dammit if it wasn't one of the most gratifying moments of the series. Thor correcting Kinsey on the Supreme part of his rank was hilarious, cheesy, and perfect at the same time. The perspective from which it was shot, with Kinsey in the background and Thor's index(?) finger pointed upward was fantastic. I clapped for our little grey friend. For those who thought it was meh for a clip show, I thought it was a well done one considering some others I've seen in other series, especially anime.
I was surprised coz I really loved this episode; I love surprises, so when Thor just appeared out of no where at the end and basically told Kinsey to 'Hey - Cut that out.' I laughed so hard my dog died.

Sorry to bring up plot holes and stuff, but I have to say this. I was just watching this episode, and after Thor beams in he says that he is there to install Asgard designed shields and WEAPONS! What is this, our ships have never had Asgard weapons. I just wish they would!! Can someone explain, or is this just a mistake??
You have already taken the first steps towards becoming.....The Fifth Race.
Loving the part when Thor beams in (sitting in his chair of course ) and then corrects Kinsey on how he should be addressed. The look on Kinsey's face is priceless, lol. All in all though, this episode had its bad points but some good.
Also, I can't help but feel that this episode was somewhat pointless.
While i do agree, the plot behind it was good, but how they did it was a little 'off, overall i did like the ep.. And seeing Checkov again, actually working with the US was great. As for Thors line, that was classic... I especially loved his
"i believe col oniel was joking when he said to beam you to an uninhabited planet for your crimes here'..
First of all, why were those particular countries invited to this summit? Great Britain and France I understand (altho if this had been filmed AFTER the Iraqi war began......). But what was China doing there? We (US govt) don't particularly like China or trust them (political repression, human rights violations). I just loved the line when the Chinese ambassador said "The Chinese government doesn't lie to its people." Har har, good one. You don't imprison political dissidents, either, do you?
I would have liked to know why china was there too, and not other 'allied countries like germany, austrailia etc..
I also wondered where some other countries were. I know the explanation they gave was something about "countries with the greatest military strength" or something like that. But Great Britain is rather small, size-wise, but so is Japan. And Japan probably has cooler technology for their soldiers. Also, since that episode, I haven't seen much interaction with soldiers or governments represented at this summit. Except for Russia, of course, but even they have had a limited role. So what happened to the cooperation they all pledged? Has it been discussed at all?
Japan was not there... As to britian having 'small' strength, while that might be, to me, they go for more 'quality' than quantitiy... And i do agree, they should have shown more interaction between the member states there and SG1 over the years, other than the few IOA shows we have had..
Also, am I the only one that in Discolure they mention SG1 so much they should have had a walk-in during the brefeing. "These are the guys who you owe your life to" and Teal'c a real live alien..
I would have liked that, even if it was just Jack and Sam (since they are military)..
I liked this ep better than Politics in season 1. I thought it flowed better. I thought Hammond was real good and Major Davis I think that's his name. I hated Kinsey he gets on my nerves he's too OTT.

In Disclosure, after Major Davis and General Hammond mention the Goa'uld and Asgard ships that crashed to Earth, the British Ambassador says "Although I am a bit dubious that not one, but two reported meteors in the last few years were in fact alien ships." To this, Major Davis replies, "Actually there were three."
Okay, I know that the Anubis' ship and Thor's ship were the two referred to above, but I cannot figure out what the THIRD ship was! Am I spacing out (pun not intentional...) and missing something really obvious?
If anyone can tell me what third ship Davis is referring to, I would be very happy, and get a lot more sleep at night...
