GateWorld Podcast Feedback!

Yeah, we've tracked down the cause of the interview audio problem. We have a few more recorded to burn through, but we're working to find a way to improve the recordings in the future.

Good news to add to the next podcast!

Continuum hit #2 in DVD for its opening week, and hit #1 for Blu-ray!!!

The Blu-ray may be worthy of topic for the next podcast.

1080p AVC/MPEG-4 video, and DTS-HD Master Audio, which I believe might be 24-bit.

Episode #5's LISTENER QUESTION:

Tell us about your favorite Stargate SG-1 or Atlantis episode that included either a parallel reality or time travel.

These are my favorites from all SG/Atlantis episodes which pretty much is all of the time-travel episodes..

This is a hard choice (like anything with Stargate) because there are so many of them that is great.

First time i saw 1969 it was hilarious, an episode full with the typical SG-comedy. But I must say that Window of Opportunity is also very nice, a very typical O'Neill episode. I can't say that this particular episode brought that much to the Stargate story or timeline. Since then many other nice episodes have been done, like 2010, It's Good to Be King, Moebius, Unending and Last Man. They are all very good in their own ways.

In conclusion the writers have written great time-travel episodes. It's good that they have not over done it and given us too many plots with time-travel. I have to say that maybe Unending is a little unnecessary.. Haven't something similar been done in Star Trek and Andromeda???

I love the podcast. It's great to hear others who love the shows as much as I do.

Only problem is I can't download the episodes any more. Using RSS I get around 350KB of the episode and it stops. It's been this way for 2 or 3 weeks now. I have tried everything I know to fix it. Everything else downloads fine, so I have no idea. I will have a bunch to listen to when it does start working.

Keep em coming... Love it...

Loaded iTunes, even though I hate it, and it does the same thing. If I pause and resume it get about 1MB it time. Very Wierd.

There is one thing I have always wondered about the Moebius episode. What happened to the other timeline versions of Sam, Jack, Teal'c and Daniel after that they did the rebellion thing against RA and keeping the stargate-portal on Earth? Did they stop to exist when the SG-1 discovered the ZPM with the old video message and did not go to the ancient Egypt? Or did they (their other versions of themselves) continue to live their lives in ancient Egypt and their and SG-1 original timeline was restored?

Episode #6 is now available!

This week's installment of the GateWorld Podcast brings a very different sort of conversation.

We're talking about parallel realities and altered timelines in the Stargate universe.

I so love the opening lines...*My feeble attempts* LOLOL why do I want to escape

I don't want to rehash everything
But it was just really fun to listen to you both re-live some of our favorites episodes

of course...it did feel like something was missing......... a female side-kick LOLOL

Overall though the discussion was interesting, fun and engaging

Hopefully we will be lucky and you will keep having fun.

Great job again guys!!!!

It was interesting hearing talk about something other than a recent episode.

I just wanted to say that I don't think the Ancients built the Quantum Mirror, I'm convinced it was the Furlings. I know it sounds crazy, but there is some really good evidence for this theory (not mine, someone in the Furling thread suggested it months, maybe years ago).
It has to do with the episode Paradise Lost. The way the transporter, which we know to be Furling tech, worked is very similar to the way the QM transported Daniel. Even the control devices look similar.

i agree it was good to talk about more than the newest episode, esp as only atlantis is on the air.

I also like the idea the furlings made the quatum mirror as it has no co-ordinates which is unlike ancient tech.

Great podcast this week keep it up!

Episode 6 is yet another great podcast! Thank you Dazza and Dave!

I found your discussion on Alternate/Parallel timelines to be very entertaining.

My topic suggestion for the next podcast that won't feature discussion of the latest Atlantis episode is a discussion on the SG-1/Atlantis novel range as well as the newish Big Finish SG-1/Atlantis audio range!

[A Wraith Named Bob]

Just listened to episode 6. I know, a little late, but I thought it was good and it provided me with some information that I didn't have before. Look forward to this Tuesday's episode 7.

[quade_1]

september 2 discussion should be about the future of the stargate franchise. SG-1 is done and the movies are out, now what? SG Universe possibility, more movies? and what about the future of Atlantis? Jason Momoa has talked about leaving the show, could it be happening sooner than we think?

[stargatelvr]

answer to question of the week:

While I tend to enjoy Replicator episodes I feel that they are being overly used. I think we've defeated them nearly as many times as Daniel has died! It's getting a bit old. I say bring in those borg-like guys from "Daedalus Variations" as a new bad guy.

I just listened to podcast #6 and thought it was awesome! I have one question about something mentioned in the podcast, though. When they were talking about 'Before I Sleep', they mention it because it's a time travel story. But the audio clip of it they play has McKay explaining it to Weir in a way that makes it sound like an alternate reality story, which doesn't really make sense. I just realized this while listening to the podcast. What's the deal with that?

I second that, i love the stargate books and esp the audio books read by the actors, could u ask David Hewlett if he's going to do one, that would be awsome!

On the topic of the replicators, i think they were a great badguy but i've had enough now, theres only so many stories you can tell before they become less intimidating,(esp as wev'e wiped them all ouy once already) although ghost in the machine did manage to get my heart rate up!, also i think im a little bored of them as unlike the wraith and gou'ld they lack the shock value due to them looking like normal humans, you only have to take one look at a wraith to know their scary!
