1glitch0 posted:I think the series finale of SG1 is on the level of All Good Things and I don't know why people sass it. I love it as an excellent episode of SG1. But as a show finale, I was left off balance. The Ori storyline is still underway with no resolution at all, or hint at it. That was odd. And no Jack? No RDA in the final episode? That just didn't seem right at all. Jack(RDA) made this show, and he's not there in the end?

redshirt posted:Yeah the Asgard are there season 1. Greeks. Mayans (Hathor was found in Central America). shes also stupid white. as is the mayan planet. thats the one where their children learn then that knowledge is sent to everyone else and essentially makes them mentally disabled in the process because everything they learned from birth is removed including walking talking etc. there was the skull with giants but i think that was s2 as for skipping broca divide i like that one. its definatly in the bottom half so i sort of get it but its one of the episodes that best establishes one of the more constant things about jacks character. hes willing to die to save everyone else. not in like a sucidal death wish type of way though just hes willing to sacrafice himself for the greater good.

Jack's thing is definitely "someone's got to do it and I'm the one in charge so I'm responsible." See also: the time he sticks his head in an Ancient archive for a second time, deliberately. Also it was covered earlier but the cast & crew didn't think Unending was going to be the last episode of SG-1. It's such a great episode anyway, though, with Teal'c's closing words. Good things come to those who wait. stringless fucked around with this message at 01:18 on Dec 12, 2023 |

If you've watched the movie, that Jack definitely comes across as borderline suicidal, in fact, that's why he's chosen for the mission, because there's a high assumption it's a one way trip. Some of that remains in the show. That first season episode with that crystal which takes the form of his dead son. And I'm just watching Season 8's Moebius, and in that alternate reality where Jack's a captain of a charter boat, he strikes me as someone who has completely given up on the world. Suicidal. There's probably other references.

It's been a long time since I've seen the movie, I know why Jack is in the position he was but uh... he didn't go alone. Obviously you're in the military and you're following orders but they go out of the way to get the guy who's got nothing left to live for to lead the mission and everyone else is just kinda chumps?

Special Forces are filled with people who are willing to be first in the breach for the honour and glory of coming back. The lower the chance, the higher the glory. So they're all in it for that, while Jack is in it because he wants to go out doing something worth dying for.

One of the female SG team in Atlantis said it best, if unintended, why she was in the Pegasus galaxy:  Jack is the hero of the story, that's why he is willing to sacrifice himself.

He signed up because his son killed himself using Jack's own gun so Jack went off to die. He only cared that it was a suicide mission. He of course did find new purpose that episode is Jack discovering that he has evolved and no longer wants to just die. He wants to do something.

If you haven't seen the movie in a while, it's jarring how unserious these supposed best of the best military guys are. They're grabbassing and joking on an alien planet, bullying Daniel Jackson because apparently they have nothing better to do. The show, despite its abundant humor, takes military matters far more seriously. It's part of what makes the show great.

We get some of the other stuff - Free Jaffa politics, the Lucian Alliance, but no Aeshen. I don't think they ever come up again after 2001. That said, while the Ori did come out of nowehere (and are clearly created to replace the big threat posed by the Goa'uld and Replicators), they do continue one of the big storylines of SG1 - the Ancients and ascension. Or essentially Daniel's storyline.

I just watched a season 9 episode named "Ex Deus Machina" and it's exactly that plot. We learn Ba'al is on Earth, a business executive now, in charge of The Trust. We also meet the Ba'al clones. And the Jaffa leader Garrick (Lou Gosset Jr!) sends Jaffa to Earth to capture Ba'al, and I have to say I LOVE seeing Jaffa storm an Earth office building, looking to nab the CEO. Just love the story idea of the Goa'uld moving to Earth and using capitalistic greed to gain power here, real power, right under the nose of the SGC. After they've been defeated playing Egyptian (and other) Gods.

Seth was on Earth for thousands of years and all he did was create little cults, get worshiped for awhile, kill them all and start over. Small ambitions. But I doubt Ba'al was following his example. Various Goa'ulds had been in contact with The Trust for years. I suspect that's how Ba'al learned of them, and their potential to destabilize Earth from within.

I liked Zippy. He was a minor Goa'uld, but he still commanded the big ships. And he was pretty cunning during that trial. Certainly nicely arrogant.

A few of the later episodes touch on loads of other powers in the galaxy. Like the Aeshen and those guys who do the races. Why do they exist and just get kinda scrolled over? I'm watching Atlantis, sort of a rewatch but I stopped in 2006 because I went to Uni. Missed "Sunday" and basically all of the end of series 3. Man you really get the impression they're writing the universe as they go and often forgetting what came before. I feel especially bad for Teyla's people. it feels a bit like they didn't quite know what to do with a lot of stuff. Carson often getting dragged along to do doctor stuff when it didn't feel right or the weird bad poo poo with Michael. And the way they end series 3! The ancients are back! In a ship! But now they're dead to replicators and Teyla's people have gone to another world and never ever get mentioned again RIP The idea someone had before about putting more people from various places in the city was really good!

lol i said that guy looked to much like musk for my to like him when you guys were ranking favorite gouald. im making my way through season 7 i fell asleep during the episode when sam is standed alone on the prometheus in that wierd gas cloud nebula thing. I didnt fall asleep because the episode was boring i was just tired. gonna fire that up tonight / tommorow. i did like the female jaffa camp episode right before this. i think the loki episode was recent to. that was a fun episode. the two parter where you see anubis's super soldier was cool but the daniel parts drug that down. also the 2nd felcher episode is the worst. it some how beat out the other felcher episode for 3rd worst to me. i think if i rewatched the mongol episode i might dislike it less then i currently dislike the 2nd felcher episode i hope he is never used again the race episode was fun and it was cool to see those guys again but it was pretty meh outside of the cool call back and the frenemy who is like i may be a bad pilot and a terrible navigator but weapon systems thats an art form as he mcguyvers their communication array to shut down the cheaters ship. snergle fucked around with this message at 02:40 on Dec 16, 2023 |
