Lost City, Part 1 (721)

[jelgate]

I would be an idiot to say Lost City is a bad episode. However, a major flaw of Part I is a trap Stargate falls into a lot. They put so much preparation in Part I to make Part II so awesome it makes Part I with the setup. Part I has this problem. Its not bad but Part II is leaps and bounds superior to Part I. That said what makes Lost City so great is that has something for everyone. Part I has one final ground firefight and archalogical investigation as SG1 tries to locate the Repository of the Ancients. It has one final team moment as SG1 and Hammond meet in Jack's house. It also showcases many antagonists with the inclusion of Kinsey to just make SG1's job that more difficult. I never really cared that much for the Stein version of Weir. She seems devoid of any emotion.

LOL a little mini-goof at about 21 minutes in, the Jaffa being massacred by Anubis' super-soldiers kind of shuffle away from the line of fire rather than running or ducking for cover. They certainly don't be making much of an effort to hide from the soldiers, something we've seen SG-1 have some success doing.

Now I may just be an idiot but why didn't the iris get destroyed by the unstable vortex

[garhkal]

Cause the iris is set so the vortex won't even form.

O'Neill gets 'cruvus' again, good stuff to be expected.
Nice private scenes at O'Neill's house - good interaction and the question comes up if everything comes to an end.

Does anyone find Kinsey reminds of Trump? No comment on either behavior...

[Seaboe Muffinchucker]

I think Kinsey is a heck of a lot smarter than Trump.

Lost City isn't divided up into 2 episodes on my DVD-set so there will be only one review here...

I love this episode so much, like a lot.

I love that Hayes shuts Kinsey down. I love General Hammond getting command of Prometheus to battle Anubis. I love Jack getting cruvus again and doing all the things he does. I love drunk Daniel balancing that orange on his bottle and announcing how deep Teal'c can be. I love the search for the lost city -- or at least the outpost. The battle that happened and the defeat of Anubis.

Bra'tac still kicking some serious butt. Young jaffa should know better than to underestimate his strength.

The introduction of Doctor Weir 1.0 (Jessica Steen), and LOL @ that note she gets from Hayes in the car when Kinsey tells her about the Stargate project. Wiped the smile right off her face when it's really NOT a joke.

How would you rate SG-1's "Lost City, Part 1"?

Excellent
Good
Fair
Poor
Terrible

I usually watch Stargate with my BFF these days, and I only see her on random 3 day weekends. When we watch, though, we almost always watch Lost City (also not a two parter for me) because it's her favorite season 7 episode. I love the things FH mentions; I also find my self yelling at Daniel because Jack says "goodbye friends" but Daniel only translates it as "goodbye."

My DVDs too list this is a single episode but I wont be lazy like FH. The problem with part 1 is we get another setting everything up for part 2. While a good episode on its own right, it doesn't compare to part 2. The finding the Ancient head sucker to Anubis coming to attack Earth is all setup. My favorite parts is actually Weir. Part 1 is really set up to define her as not someone who will bow to people like Kinsey. Probably goes to define her Atlantis even of she was recasted. I'll give it a good with 7:01

Finally, it took me a while this season, but 2nd to last episode I manage to beat Jelgate's time by nearly a minute: 6:15

FH, go back and look at his time versus your time for the Inauguration puzzle.

FH, go back and look at his time versus your time for the Inauguration puzzle.

Indeed... I missed that bit entirely.

[AmFor]

Perfect first part. I really liked the scene in Jack's house and also when Hammond came there. I am just asking myself, what if Jack and Daniel would have come later. What would have been the thing that Sam wanted to say.
