no all the next episode previews. I think I can find the good episodes by throwing a dart at the random button Though the thread doing a watch of sorts might be fun pick an ep for each week or something.

last night i went to watch just 1-2 episodes but the episodes were so good i had to force myself to turn it off and go to bed. the first one was where a gouald was pretending to be a rebel leader. that dudes voice when he is giving a speech was so good. the entire episode was great the 2nd was the one where they take nid people from death row to go save a planet they endangered. one of them sacrafices himself to save sg1 and the other dies saving sam. the 3rd was the one where daniel dies / ascends this was a great one but mostly for the jack / daniel stuff. jack telling daniel he basically used him as a concious then refusing to let earth let the other planet pin the blame on daniel. plus the flash back showing how daniel got the radiation poisoning. also this is a hell of a send off for a character. the 4th was the one right after daniel dies. the 2nd one was when the gouald attack thor and capture him we learn some cool poo poo about the asgardians and its still a good episode plus we finally sort of see anubis and the power he has. snergle fucked around with this message at 01:49 on Oct 20, 2023 |

Chris Judge wrote cool episodes, and him sprinting out of the Stargate yelling "DECEIVER" is an all-time moment for the big man. That's also the P90 demonstration episode. A classic, and one of my faves so far. FWIW my #1 episode is still The Other Side, a very Star Trek plot, handled in the most Stargate of ways.

Most of the terror weapon type stuff has been banned by treaties and conventions of warfare, not that they don't still get used here and there. Flame weapons/incendiary ammo against personnel, nuclear/biological/chemical/radiological systems, most weapons designed or altered to intentionally cripple, maim or blind/deafen against soft targets. Of course, most things get outlawed after they're used at least once.

Ugh weird run of episodes this. Lifeboat is great, Space Race is possibly one of the worst episodes in the season (awful plot, terrible characters, just weirdly paced and a resolution that's very hamfisted), Avenger 2.0 is fantastic, then Birthright which is just Teal'c being weird misogynistic when he's never really shown that before.

redshirt posted:"Shock and Awe" ain't banned. Yeah but that's a tactical doctrine, not a weapons system. Thinking more about it, the closest direct equivalents to the staff weapon would probably be exploding and flechette rounds, both of which are banned by the Hague Convention for inflicting grievous and unnecessary pain and suffering.

Pretty interesting spin on the whole parasite/symbiote on what was beforehand a very clear villain (the Goa'uld). And Daniel brings it up, but I'm not sure it's brought up again: Did Earth supply dying people to the Tok'ra for hosts? If the dying folks of Earth understood the deal and consented, it seems like a win-win honestly.

After having finished SG1 and Atlantis, I started re-watching Universe. Its slightly better than I remembered and the increased production value is welcome. Its nice to see some of the old SG1 faces make occasional appearances. I'm not crazy about some of the love triangle plot-lines so far as they try and be more serious and adult in the vein what was sure to be then imitating Battlestar, but I think I will miss this show knowing that it ended on such a cliffhanger that will never be resolved. I really wish someone would revive Stargate in some form. Its such a great IP.
