Boxed Set, Vol. III: "That Can't Be Good..."  

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.

Dear SGA 3.20:

I kind of love you, but I must sleep now.

More later.

♥,

Me

ETA: But first, did we know this? From gateworld.net:

MGM has given a green light for the show's creators to produce two direct-to-DVD movies based on SG-1. Executive producer Brad Wright let TV Guide in on the news. The studio is targetting a fall 2007 release for both projects -- just a few months after Stargate SG-1 ends its historic, 10-year run on cable television. It's entirely possible that the movies will also be aired on television -- something SCI FI commonly does with direct-to-DVD movies.

To sum up: Movie one is tied to the end of S10, and movie two is a one-off. There are spoilers for plot points of both at the link, and in the bottom right of the page, casting (and ep title) spoilers for both SGA, SG-1, and the movies. [link]

Oh, and there's a quote in there from one of the EPs that, depending how these do, there could be more.

I'm slowing down my consumption of SGA with the realization that they'll be done soon, and then I won't have any more for a long while!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

That's a sensible approach, Theo, whereas mine was "MORE MORE MORE...oh, all gone now."

I have to say, this season on the whole, was pretty good. I can name six or seven episodes that I deeply enjoyed, I think most of the rest were solid, and only two or three deeply irritated me with their stupidity.

Mind you, I fell off the wagon and watched two "new" ones on Sunday. So I'm all caught up through 19.

Not reading the whitefont!

You do know that SGA only has 20 episodes a season?

I'm so oblivious that I thought I thought there were 22 eps in the season and I had two more to look forward to until I realized, no, this would be the finale. As such:

SGA 3.20:

They FLEW the city. Star drive! Awesome. I mean, OK, didn't work out ideally in the end, but... star drive! Also the visual effect at the beginning following the weapon down to the planet - really cool. Admittedly I felt a little odd being all, "Ooh..." over a bomb, but it really was well done, I thought.

I liked the actor who played the commander of the Apollo; I've seen him before. Must invetigate.

Jewel, it's great to see you on my screen. You look so pretty! And you were totally not Kaylee. But I'm still kind of sad about Paul M, so I'll be saving my squee for maybe later, 'kay? Still love you, though.

"Why don't you just make out already?" Heh. But, really, John... pot, kettle, black. Just sayin'.

Ronon, "I need to learn some science." Love you, Ronon. Love. You.

Teyla, "Why do you get to be Mr. Fantastic?" Love you, too.

All in all, the plot was whatever, but they did good with the tense and the cool solution to the problem. And, in closing, they FLEW Atlantis!

The end.

Uh... no? Really?

Sadly, it's true. I did not react well when I discovered this in the second season. The first season I watched all in one big gulp at Dana's house so I didn't have time to notice that they were shorting me two precious episodes.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

The first season, I was dismayed to realize that the season would end on a cliffhanger. I guess SG-1 does the same thing, but I only started watching SGA in real-time when Browder joined the cast. Cliffhangers don't really bother you when you get four episodes a week.
