'Heart Of Gold'
A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
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.
So did anyone else watch the latest SGA?
... because honestly, that's the only way they could put Earth at risk from the Wraith? Having a Wraith in an alternate reality send a message?
I love AUs, and I found that boring. Also repetitive: SG-1 used that concept back in season one.
I really liked it, and it's the first ep of SGA I haven't been bored with in a while. Also, there's one ep left, right? Seems as efficient a way as any to get the Wraith threat amped up quickly, assuming that's the plan.
Kind of weird that there's only one ep left, but this season really hasn't done much for me, so I guess I'm pretty well resigned.
It is odd to have only one show left (Eureka) on Sci-fi that I'm watching after BSG ends. Well, I hope to be back when Caprica airs the pilot or mini or whatever it is. And they're doing a BSG movie? Or is that what they're calling the big finale? I'm so out of the loop.
I liked SGA too, much more than normal. I'm irritated that that's how they bring the Wraith to Earth for the series finale, but other than that I loved John and Rodney (and Zelenka) much more than normal.
Oh, and I thoroughly enjoyed the musical accompaniment during the entire ep.
I really enjoyed the episode - the music, John and McKay - the whole c.s.i. deal. If only they could have brought in Brass.
It was angry making that they completely excluded the non-caucasian regulars from the episode despite establishing that these people had traveled to Atlantis and come back. TPTB can include Big Pussy and Walter-fucking-Harriman in the story, but Teyla and Ronon would be too difficult to explain?!?
But despite that lack, what was aired was mostly entertaining. And very, very pretty.
The aliens would have made less sense there-SGA shouldn't just cast the coloreds as outsiders.
Unless the SGC called everyone back from Atlantis permanently, I think it would make more sense for at least Teyla to be back with Rodney dealing with the Wraith stragglers than Zelenka. (Ronon I can see being much less likely to have joined up in "Runner" if Sheppard wasn't there...)
It was nice to see Zelenka, and see both of them in suits (if odd), but I guess I was just hung up on the idea of them doing what was basically a character-study of Sheppard when they only had two episodes left. It's not like we didn't know he was basically a hero, after all.
The music was nice, though. If somewhat out of place. I figure they had a little money to burn off, but I kind of doubt the dvds are going to have Johnny Cash on them.
I thought they were people already in jail and she was trying to help him find stuff out about them.
I thought she was getting them out of the jail. Which is one of the things that seemed dopey. That is, why does he have to nominate specific people to rescue? Why not just say "Well, if there's someone you can get someone out, go do that."
Maybe it'll be explained, I dunno.
