Prophecy (621)

[balo]

It was a good episode and maybe the best Jonas episode of the series.

The SGC scene when they were under attack was pretty cool .

Rating: 7 / 10

The SGC scene when they were under attack was pretty cool .

To put it mildly! Walter dead. Airmen dead. Hammond blown up... It's like "There but for the Grace of God" all over again!

Poor Jonas, still feeling he has to prove himself.

I really liked the guy.

Great episode. The visions of the attack on the SGC and the ambush at the gate were very dramatic and well done, and Lord Mot made a pretty good villain, shame he only lasted the one episode really.

And shame that he didn't die on screen.

Watching the mini marathon on scifi right now, and this episode is currently on.

I liked this story. Season 6 seems to have a darker edge to it then the other SG-1 seasons.

The part where Jonas had his vision with the destruction of SGC was the coolest part.

I like this eppy for Jonas and I am sad he has to go soon.

Loved this ep, and at least Jonas didn't die...

This was a really great episode, and I absolutely love Jonas, is future departure is so sad...

I don't understand what intervened to prevent the Jaffa from killing the SG teams and getting the bomb.
Did Mott have anything to do with it such that his death prevented the Jaffa from completing their mission??

Furthermore, he criticized his underling for sounding the alarm and said that he arranged for them to be free......but then it was the girl who freed them and who then killed Mott. What did I miss here?

haha, you got confused. Ok, the ambush was set by Ma'at and he allowed the servant girl to free SG-1, then Jonas has his premonition and Hammond sends the warning. Ma'at's slave boy heard the radio. The slave man said to check on the prisoners and then sounded the alarm. The alarm/horn alerted SG-1 to the coming Jaffa and allowed them to counteract the ambush. Hope that makes sense lol. Go Jonas!

I stuck a VHS into the Halls of Res machine...

1. The laugh is, by the time this ep aired in the UK, we already knew that Jonas was being written out of S7!

2. Rewatching, the biggest thing was remembering how all the premonitions played out.

3. Again, the guy was still trying desperately to fit in.

4. Still, the way the final ambush was averted was a bit nuts.

Decen enough ep.

Thought it was going to be terrible, but it was still average. With some entertaining moments.

I think this might be the last time we actually see the original GDOs on screen (we'll see a more compact version on Atlantis). I always wonder (present tense) what happened to them.

Also, this might be the only time the Goa'uld come through the Gate to attack Earth/SGC (during the normal timeline (not alternate timeline, like past episodes), even if it was changed by Jonas).

Tomorrow, the final episode of the part of our journey through the 6th Season. It is my favorite episode of SG-1 and the franchise as a whole.

Another episode I enjoyed watching again, not having seen it for a long time.

At this point I felt it was quite sad that Jonas was being written out, he really did find his feet in the end, even though he doubted his true value still. I'd come to like the personable character by this time.

I love anything to do with prophecies and how they can be interpreted to suit whatever the situation or state of mind warrants. A fun look at what problems actually knowing what will happen and trying to change events can cause, the outcome is not always the desired one! An entertaining episode for this and it was fun to watch again.

Really, I'd never have guessed...
