One of the greatest stand-alone episodes IMO was that one where evil Daniel took over Earth.

If you're old school like me, CometTV is showing the last episode of SG1 today at 1 eastern - Unending. Great episode.

And then if you choose, experience the cool effect of rolling right into the first episode (a two parter).

Just watched the series 5 Atlantis episode where Mckay gets a parasite that makes him have "second childhood". Another one where if they just believed people it would have been easy.

I liked Hayes that he stood up to Anubis's face and told him to get bent. And he eventually shitcanned Kinsely. And appointed Jack head of SGC.

But, he also forced Hammond out of the SGC. Boo!

But he also appointed him head of Homeworld Security.

And I 100% got a Kennedy vibe. Didn't the actor in fact play Kennedy in some old movie?

The first episode of SG-1 is a bit rough, but gets its footing pretty fast.

The first opening scenes though, not great: The first, of the bored airmen playing cards in front of the gate. It's hamfisted and awkward. I find it interesting that in these first two episodes they brought over the "grab assing and joking military guy" theme from the movie, which I did not like - they ditch this real quick though.

The second scene is Jack's introduction, that's pretty solid.

But then the third is Carter's, with that line about reproductive systems on the outside. The whole scene is rough, as these high up military guys play at sexism in a meeting about the possible fate of the planet. Only Hammond is professional.

Dude's got military experience so not in a million years. He's just a generic centrist president with no overt ideology, just a straight talking statesman like so many irrelevant president characters in TV.

Yeah, he and Hammond have a history that is alluded to, a good one. Which makes it all the more odd his move to remove him and appoint Weir.

He wanted Hammond in charge of Homeworld Security, and a proven diplomat made sense as his replacement given the political intrigue going on. Which worked well, given she outplayed the system lords (and Hammond commanded the Prometheus)

The recasting made less sense, though I did prefer the intensity the second actress brought over the naivety-focused take of the first.

hammond wasnt given homeworld security until the end of the anubis attack. weir replaced him the episode before which seemed like 3-4 weeks of time in show. he was given the job of being captain of prometheus though which lead to the
kamikazee onto anubis's ship which they bailed out of at the last second.

the stated reason for weir was she was an anti military peace negotiating activist who would give the sgc a more friendly face for the public because they were planning to take it public until the anubis attack kinsey showed his true colors when he pissed and moaned about how HE has to get to the alpha site can he please leave etc. which is when the president poo poo canned him and stoped playing his game of revealing the sgc.

he and hammond hint that they served together when they were both young and that hammond was his slight superior but friend.

I had X-Files on in the background last night, and heard a voice, I perked right up.

"Is that???"

Got up to go look, and yep, Col. Maybourne on the X-Files.

Just that morning I think I saw his first SG1 episode, which is also the episode we meet those dick Tollans.
And also Nareem, who's nice.

I felt bad for that Minoan leader king guy when the head Tollan's just like "You're even more primitive than they are!"

well that was a hell of a 3 episode run. the replicators kicked all the goualds rear end, earth / baal worked together to stop the replicators permenently forever and now anubis is "dead" daniel ascended and unascended again.


also i have a theory that either baal or more likely his host has savant syndrome. specifically math based.

it made for good tv but im kind of annoyed they just made daniel a math wiz to stop replicarter he is a linguist but when ever the plot needs it he can do literally anything. noone else really has that in the show.

also the guy who was seeing jacks memories crying in the rain when daniel died :chefs kiss:

his name was joe so i assume so i dont really read the episode title names.

also the ancients really did have no morality or critical thinking skills. lets just end all life in a galaxy and reshape it in our image because of some plague? then lets gently caress off and leave it around. then lets give an evil being free reign with our
knowledge as long as he doesnt do anything he couldnt as a gouald to punish the one person with morality in our ranks.

i also called that guy as anubis like 1/2 way through the episode but i was still somewhat suprised when i was right because it was such a wierd call with no real basis on anything. I was suprised he was alive though. I wish they explained how he got out of the russian popsicle.

yeah it was a clip show. it is honestly the best clip show they have done. It was more about joes life and using him seeing jacks memories as the clip device. i havent really liked any of the others s1 is especially bad.

A particularly weird one we just watched had Skinner (Colonel Caldwell in SG:A) gently caress and wake up next to a dead prostitute played by Sam’s actress.

lol I think there's a ton of crossovers because of the Vancouver filming.

Same thing with the Outer Limits remake.

I watched SG1 Heroes and then the next day there's Doc Frazier in some crazy doomsday scenario.
