'Time' (108) General Discussion

[Briangate78]

It was very Tabula Rasa. In my opinion, Stargate is back. And its back for good.

I gotta say after this ep and other eps. You really needed to be a SG-1 and SGA fan to understand more what is going on, imo. That is more than fine, this is Stargate, and well us fans have made both shows successful. So we don't need new viewers. Just need what we have and keep it Stargate and the show will be just fine.

I'm with you....
too implausible...but it's a interesting episode.

How is it implausible? It's the same flare, the SAME EXACT FLARE. The only thing that changed was the information the destiny crew had.

[Col.Foley]

Well I can definitely say you're right...it was a very creative episode...
Maybe I should like as an episode on that alone.

If you didn't like it you didn't like it, none of us are taking any skin off your back.

It's the same flare, at the same time. Just in different AT's.

All I can say about this episode is just WOW. Blows all previous ones out of the water. Just... Wow.

I can only second this...WOW INDEED.



I've been loving all of em' so far, and now this...bravo...

By far the most disappointing episode yet.

I'm not saying it was a bad episode. In fact this episode had the best writing of any episode of SGU yet. We actually learn something about the characters (Eli's mom has HIV, Rush and Young like Butch Cassidy), we get nice character development, and above all we actually get an interesting plot. The humor is well dispersed (Rush actually makes a joke) and there's a lot of suspense in the Kino scenes. Lt. James died and I was shocked, I was surprised the writers had the balls to kill of a recurring character so early. Everything was going so well for the first 50 minutes, I was just about to call this the greatest episode of SGU yet.

And then Chloe died, and I knew this episode was just a farce. At that point I knew the reset button was coming and any tension left in the episode was utterly destroyed. I was about to yell at the TV screen: "How could you give me such a great hour of television and then pull a stupid cliche on it at the last second?" I'm probably being a bit harsh, but seriously, this is something you would expect out of your average Star Trek: Voyager episode (and I like STV).

So this episode wasn't disappointing for any of the reasons the previous episodes were. This episode improved greatly on many aspects of the show, but the final minutes just absolutely ruined it.

But doesn't the gate have to intersect the flare at the right time..
So the events played out each time...at just the right time to send the kino back....

Oddly enough, sir, it's my left fore arm that's missing the skin but that's because of little sand paper incident at work....nothing to worry about...

Purify the hell out of it, . Boiling it would probably do the trick, given that the microbe in question is from an ice planet. To my knowledge, organisms (even extremophiles) don't tend be both hyperthermophiles and hyperpsychrophiles.

I don't know...that was kinda whack...
how you just gonna just end it like that....

It was interesting....I don't go for horror in the sci fi category....Event Horizon...finsihed that thread for me.

Obviously how it ended hints that everything was undone and the events we saw never happened. That's why it ended so abruptly.

Anyways, my take on the episode.

HOLY CRAP! It was well worth the wait for this. My friends who aren't Stargate fans loved it. Also, my friend got her boyfriend to watch it and he said he liked it. She said it finally peaked her interest again.

Everything was great. Loved it all. I didn't see them pulling a double reset. I thought they would resolve it without them dying again on the mission. The creatures were both awesome and disturbing. Rush is freakin' crazy! Especially when you see him say a few lines and jump through the gate. That was priceless. Eli only reaffirmed my belief when he told Rush that.

This episode was directed and written great. Kudos to Robert. He continues to amaze me. I just want to point out to people who complain that the Kino playback was all messy, that is because the data banks were corrupted by the looks of it so it makes sense for it to skip, etc. That was a nice creative touch by Robert (and the editing team).

In my personal opinion, 'Time' is the first episode out of SGU I can give as a 10/10, four stars (****). Acting was superb. TJ was believable in her scene during and after revealing to Eli that Chloe was already dead. Speaking of which, Eli's performance was awesome as well. Hell, Greer was too. Pfft. I can go on. Everyone was great. I can't wait for the 11 PM airing to come on. I want to watch it again so bad!

Probably just purify it again...or at the worse I suppose they can use that venom as a water purifier.

Boil it?

Seriously though, good question.
