A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
Okay, Daniel's philosophical incoherence in the face of the Ori (or however you spell it) is really starting to get on my nerves.
Yeah, the whole "They're not actually gods, they're just ancient advanced disembodied beings. With nearly limitless knowledge and power. That can raise the dead. And want to be worshipped." approach really isn't that credible. What he should be concentrating on is painting them as foreign, EVIL gods that want to invade and destroy everyone who won't become their slaves and worship them constantly.
I also agree that BB isn't giving us anything we haven't seen before. And Crichton had better writing. With Angst.
I think Daniel had one very good question that they let drop immediately:
why
do the Orii want to be worshipped? What are they getting out of it?
If I didn't have the big SG1 love already this season would not convert me. The only new character to hit the ground running is Vala.
Cameron is big hero guy I suppose, but all I see so far is a watered down Crichton.
Gen. Landry is not very general like and should maybe rethink this not retiring decision. So he has family issues. Not caring so much.
Haven't seen enough of Gerak to know what Gossett will add to the show.
All this new blood, and damn talented new blood, and yet no new energy. It isn't behaving like a new series spending some time introducing the environment and characters. It isn't acting like the series we know and love with some new faces either.
The
why do the Orii want to be worshipped?
question is the question that will be explored, as I am sure the development of the new Jaffa politics will be explored. We will find out more backstory on the new people.
Vala's presence in the mix is a lovely thing, and I love Claudia, but she overpowers the other characters. The balance is off. The episodes haven't worked as stand alone adventures.
I just want them to fix it, right now.
What y'all said.
Also, in the preview for next week, the Prior looks an awful lot like Zhann. Hee! Also, I'm watching a terrible SciFi Insects from Outer Space! movie which had Teryl Rothery for about three minutes with a serious Texas accent (before she was killed by a moth masquerading as her husband. Don't ask).
Sheppard in that shirt
Was that the nice black shirt, or is it a different nice shirt?
What he should be concentrating on is painting them as foreign, EVIL gods that want to invade and destroy everyone who won't become their slaves and worship them constantly.
Yeah, a little Satan imagery would be helpful for them at this point, I think.
Watching SGA
The Seige.
...have they all just
forgotten
about the wraith that's imprisoned downstairs from umpteen episodes back? Or the Genii lass who ended up helping them out in the end? What
happened
to these people?

That's like time sluttage. How geeky is that?
Not to worry Fay, there is a masterful episode in the writing called
The Ends, they are tied up
,which covers all those things, and more.
...seriously, have I just forgotten about what happened to Steve The Wraith? 'Cause I thought he was in a big cage thing downstairs. Only now Bob The Wraith is in the big cage thing downstairs.
Also...if Teyla was freaking out with Wraith dreams when Bob was lurking around Atlantis, shouldn't she have been having the same dreams thanks to Steve?
...I've been waving my hands like crazy, but I think they may fall off shortly.
eta
Oh My God! They killed Peter!
Shit. I
liked
Peter. Damn it.
...huh.
The Siege
Part II.
Colonel McIrritating has
quite
the most annoying voice I have ever heard.
