Tenebrae Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 While the tests were pretty hilariously obvious (charity test - I figured that out as soon as they opened the chest). The episode was pretty good. Still, it's the first SG-1 episode that I'd say was out and out good for quite some time. Perhaps that was inevitable given it's the mid-season cliffhanger.

wahaha Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 Throwing rocks??? For Qs sake, they have TONS of SAND and DIRT around them. They could have flooded the whole area and just made a visible hallway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, that turned out to be a pointless worry, but they didn't know that. Good episode. Looking forward to how they're going to resolve all this.

Centurion Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Great episode! It reminded me of Indiana Jones III, but that's OK. Anyway, the whole Merlin plot is finally getting interesting. Where's the Sangraal? I bet it's somewhere on Earth just like the Ancient outpost in Antarctica. Adria losing her powers when she entered the cave was kind of unexpected. That implies her powers are not really hers (unlike that Anubis prototype from season 9), but come straight from the Ori... If that's the case, I think SG-1 should find a way to deactivate her personal shield and lock her up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vyperion Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 I was screaming 'throw some sand' in my head while they were still expalining 'localised temporal distortion'. I also guessed the fire thing while they were searching. The Orisi turning out ot be the 'librarian' was actually a plot twist that I didn't expect. I thought he would've just exploded in a fireball like a prior. This did feel rushed which added a little to the tension but not so much since they still have another ten episodes to go and no 'the world's gonna end' sub-plot this time. I expected one of them to bring up the dragon at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wahaha Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Well there's no tension there since we already know fist full of baals has the name of the guardian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenebrae Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Yeah, the Orsi being the librarian was a bit of a surprise... the setup wasn't hugely surprising but I'd have thought she'd just send a Prior... although, I guess he'd have been toasted by the Mitchel. Personally, I wouldn't have trusted Baal - and wouldn't be surprised if he was lying about knowing the dragon's name. Like he hasn't betrayed them at every possible oppurtunity.

Mav Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Pretty good episode. I did think it was a tad rushed. Didn't see the Orisi thing coming, plot twists are always a nice surprise. Though the Guardian is a toss up. On one hand, ok cool a pretty nice CGI dragon. On the other hand, it's alot smaller than I expected a dragon to be in the SG-1 universe and two Baal just happens to know the name of it without explaining how he managed to get ahold of it? Either Baal is holding out on them or thats just a small note of weak writing. And the whole thing between the Orisi and Daniel was stupid. He acted shocked he couldn't pick up the Sangraal, it was a hologram. They knew they'd have to face the Guardian before gaining access to the Sangraal why be all shocked when it's a hologram? They knew what was coming... Overall, great episode with a few plotholes, on par with usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maybrick Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 I'm going to take a stab that the name of the Dragon is something obvious, like "Ori" or "Merlin". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mupi Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 I don't think its going to be Ori. merlin, perhaps. Or Aurthur, even would make sense. As to the Orisi, they may not have to lock her up, if she has lost her powers, that may be the final straw Daniel needs to prove to her that the Ori are not who they present themselves to be. After all, why should the power NOT be hers? IF they are truely these beneficient beings that only want to enlighten their followers, etc...then why should "her" powers not be hers. Unless, of course, that's part of the power of the sangraal. Overall, I agree, it was one fo the better episodes this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFMF Posted September 28, 2006 Author Share Posted September 28, 2006 I thought this was quite a good episode although i have to agree - the Orisi has become a bit weak :stare: The Orisi twist was really cool however and the cliffhanger was really nice - shame we have to wait so long till the next episode :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antipodean Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 shame we have to wait so long till the next episode :( So when is Stargate returning to tv? I'm missing it already... :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFMF Posted November 1, 2006 Author Share Posted November 1, 2006 According to a Wikipedia artical January 3rd is the predicted date... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antipodean Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 According to a Wikipedia artical January 3rd is the predicted date... So basically the Stargate franchise is just going to sit it out until the Battlestar Galactica season is over, huh? Fair enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
