This episode reminded me of alot of things that need to be acknowledged by the writers so we can move on with this show without certain things staying at the back of our minds.
They need to acknowledge Atlantis. I know, I know. This isn't a 'Atlantis rullezzzz blah blah blah' scenario, just bare with me. Daniel should surely be there instead we see him performing special reconnaissance missions? Granted he performed them while apart of SG-1 but still it's a bit far fetched when Atlantis is supposedly smack dab in the middle of San Fransisco.
An approach that I'd like the writers to take while referring to previously established canon is that they put their own spin on the wording, for example:
''Our Galaxy was colonized by the ancients, when they left a scavenger race rose up with the use of their technology and established their own totalitarian regime, we defeated them and then left the galaxy to rot without any resources''. This line sounds much gritter and realistic, similar to Telford's line in this episode.
It's better than:
''The Gaul'd sentient serpents who were really evil and took over peoples minds, enslaved the galaxy with massive pyramid ships for no other reason then their massive ego's. We killed a bunch of system lords and then left a bunch of primitive people with nothing to do'', don't get me wrong I love the previous Stargate series, but those were different shows.
Stargate was alot more fantastical wheras I find SGU to be more grounded in the Science-Fiction genre, especially this current generations interpretation of the genre.
I'd like to know if anyone else feels the same? I found this episode really kicked it up a notch when it came to reflecting on the previous shows and thus these questions need to be answered. Because Atlantis was obviously way more advanced and of course had the plothole drive aswell.
