Less than 24 hours until the finale begins. The thread is now open for discussion or last minute speculations.

[Lt.Colonel John Sheppard]

Hey I was right this was a cool episode. It kinda felt like Star trek enterprise's Season 3 Episode Countdown and Zero Hour. Hope Next week's episode will be awesome.

[SG-25CSAR]

It reminds me of star wars.
*Cough*DEATH STAR*Cough*

I liked it and the end is quite, uhh...suspensefull.
Just one thing, I was expecting for someone to make a comment about the Deathstar. Allusions are nothing new on stargate.

Is tealc gona make a apearance on the next epasode?
What about some of the other Famuos SG people?
Are you going to blow off my questions as many wirters love to do?
Will I ever get to watch my favorite Epasode of...wiat, thats off topic a little.

[Elitenova]

Speachless I tell ya, Speachless.

[Lt.Colonel John Sheppard]

so much for having that enoly cruiser for more than 3 episodes heh. I was going to ask Alex if he could name the "phoenix" because according to some mythology the phoenix would rise up from ashes after it died.

I'm glad you liked it. We were going for suspensefull.

It's true. A comment like that might have fit in well. However, in this case it wasn't the first time that the team had seen the biosphere.

Is tealc gona make a apearance on the next epasode?

Teal'c won't be in the next episode. However, we'd love for him to make an appearance at a later time.

What about some of the other Famuos SG people?

With regard to the next episode, same as above.

The challenge is always continuity actually. Otherwise we would have most likely already seen more guest appearances of characters from either SG-1 or Atlantis. But it's still something we'd like to do, and perhaps in Season Three we'll be getting that crossover idea that we had thought about earlier in Season Two off the ground.

Are you going to blow off my questions as many wirters love to do?

Maybe.

Will I ever get to watch my favorite Epasode of...wiat, thats off topic a little.

Off topic or not... I hope you'll get to watch your favorite episode soon.

Yeah, that would have been a fitting name for it. Perhaps if we ever get our hands on another one...

It was a really good ep, but I'm really frustrated as I wanted to see Lenori! Would post a more detailed evaluation, but I gotta run.

[Alex Rubit]

It's taken a while, but the episode has been added to the the site. The temporary link has been taken down.

[SierraGulf1]

I suppose it is reminiscent of the Death Star, but it certainly does turn the threat level up a notch. Horizon-1 is looking pretty screwed right now, and the end of season two is a matter of days away.

[Elite Anubis Guard]

It was a cool episode. Very suspenseful. Would have made quite a few good CG images. Unfortunetly..for some reason Chris didn't feel right. Her roles are coming awefully repetative and she just feels redundent.

[Lt. Colonel Ryu Gaia]

Wow, a great episode. An excellent set-up for the finale, my only regret is that we didn't get to see the Kih'Andari sooner. I can't wait!

Well, as I've said before, it's a huge cast. And that, unfortunately, means that sometimes there's not too much "interesting" things for a character to do in every episode. In the case of Christine, she just happens to be the one on the team who can translate things. So, every now and then she'll just do that.

That said, we've just recently discussed a very interesting idea for an episode in which Christine and Sivea find themselves in a situation that's definitely not repetative. That ain't happened before. And to answer the question - yes, Season Three is already in pre-production. As a matter of fact, I just finished the outline for the season premiere a few days ago. Am now working on the one for 3.02.

Glad you liked the episode, by the way. Just wait for the CG images in "Revolution."

OMG awesome ep. what more can I say.
The cast is fantastic, cant wait to see this unfold. The ep is like a sci-fi opera
you can really feel the climax. For some reason I just keep thinking that the Kih'Andari are some how in league with the Enoly(just don't know why) but I'm probably wrong.
