SG-1 Season Finale
2005-09-16, 7:42 PM #1
So, season 9 is at the halfway mark. I have to say, I really enjoyed tonight's episodes, especially The Fourth Horseman. It was nice to see Davis back as Hammond, although it sucks that they didn't bring back Sean Patrick Flanery as Orlin . The Ori story arc is also turning out to be pretty good, though it seems like they're wrapping it up rather quickly, with the potential anti-Prior device, and with the discovery of a "ready-made" ascended being (Gerak being turned into a Prior was quite surprising, however). Overall, though I do miss seeing Davis and RDA on a weekly basis, I've really enjoyed season 9 thus far.

I want Vala back! *cries*

Vala was just awesome, but I have to agree with things I've read other places that she probably wouldn't make it as a weekly character.

And who knows... the Anti-Prior device might only have very limited success. And that really only stops the Priors, not the Ori.

Well, yeah, but the Priors are currently the ones out recruiting for Origin. So if they can capture/kill/turn most of the Priors, they essentially cut the Ori off from their believers, which, according to Orlin, is where most of their power stems from. So no, it wouldn't be a complete victory, but it would certainly buy some more time. And from Orlin's information, the ascended Ancients are beginning to take notice of the Ori. So maybe we'll see a battle between the Ancients and the Ori? It's really hard to tell at the moment.

Take notice yes, but I thought I caught a line in there about them still not wanting to do anything, or being incapable of doing something. I'm not sure... I was off and on the phone during commercial breaks trying to set up a Lan tomorrow, some of the calls carried back into the show.

I think they still have a ways to go with the Ori. They're too interesting an enemy to off or severly hinder this fast.

As far as the anti-prior gun, that doesn't mean a quick end-game. They had the replicator gun for a while, and that kept going.

Bah. I hate season endings. I'm too damn impatient. And WTF is it having season finale only...eight weeks into it?? I want Vala back too. The tension between her and Daniel was comedy.

The whole "Season Finale" thing is just a marketing ploy. They always cut the season in half at this time. I agree though. I'd rather see the season all the way through.

I've liked Season 9 a whole lot. They are planting some great seeds for some really cool story arcs.

I thought "Prototype" was one of the best episodes I've seen of this new season. "The Fourth Horseman" was the typical Ori fare. Frankly, the Ori haven't come across to me as dangerous as the Goa'uld. I mean, I know they are supposed to be, but that just hasn't happened for me. Besides, IMHO, RDA was the spark that made the show special and likable (likeable... likable... whatever).
I don't like waiting either, but since SCI-FI is owned by NBC or something, they don't want their new shows competing with the new shows on the major networks.
Waiting = sucks.

What happened to Vala? Did she rejoin the Peacekeepers? If so, why is Crichton still at SG Command?

I'm so confused. :(

As for Garek being a prior...well, maybe they'll do the whole "Garek finds out the Ori are full of it and uses his new-found powers to destroy the Ori!"

FYI Vala is coming back later in the season. She is currently living in a town in the Ori's galaxy posing as an Ori follower. (see gateworld for more)

Man I forgot to have my roommate record it for me ><

Hmm I wonder how many more seasons they will go..
I wonder if at the end they will release knowledge of the program to the public, or just quietly shut down.

They usually start showing new episodes in what, December? January? Sometime around there.

They'll start showing new episodes some time in January (in the US).

So, I just bought season 1 of SG-1 on DVD, and I'm watching the pilot right now. I have just one question: how do Apophis and the Jaffa establish an outgoing wormhole?

Can't really remember what happened.. but either A. They don't have a DHD there, or You don't know what a DHD is yet?

They walk through the gate into the gateroom, the wormhole closes, big firefight, cut to soldiers swarming the room, cut back and OMQ there's a wormhole! Now, even if the Jaffa knew that Earth used a computer to dial the gate, and they somehow knew exactly how to operate it, they wouldn't have any time to get there and back.

Is that after they attack the SGC? You aren't supposed to notice those things, silly.

Yep, but if you're clever, you can get them before that since the season airs from start to finish in the rest of the world starting sometime on Oct.

Heh, yeah, that's what I'm talking about. And as far as mistakes and inconsistencies go, there seem to be quite a few. Like how the guy who discovers the Stargate (and his daughter) in the movie are German, but they're Americans in SG-1. And of course the most obvious one, Ra looked like the lovechild of an Asgard and a Predator, as opposed to a parasitic snake.
2005-09-17, 7:38 PM #28
Well the movie and series are too completely different things as far as I am concerned, and I think alot others will agree.

And yes, there are mistakes and errors abound, but I'm sure it would be hard to find a series not like that. Or at least one that has ongoing story lines instead of invidual stories.
2005-09-17, 7:55 PM #29
Yes, I realize that they're very different, they're just things I'm noticing rewatching all these older episodes.

It's possible he had one of the wrist dialer devices. You only see them about 3-5 [edit] Gateworld says 2 actually seen, 2 others possible [/edit] times in the whole series, but Apophis was the top system lord at the time and he may have had one.

I can't remember if the wormhole ever closed when they came through, and if they turned around and walked back through the incoming wormhole.

Doesn't matter to me, though. At the time it first aired, nobody would have known otherwise.

2005-09-18, 12:05 PM #34
Yeah, that was before they established that matter can only travel one way through a wormhole. Which was probably made up for some story element. There are a ton of continuity errors in the series, most of them are minor. But the attitude of the show is done in such a way that it doesn't matter. It's not hardcore straight up science sci-fi like Star Trek.

2005-09-18, 1:25 PM #35
Actually, in the movie it was already established that you couldn't go through the wormhole unless it was dialed from your location. One of the soldiers says the people on Earth can just dial the gate and they'll be ok, but French Stewart's character corrects him.

I was wondering about that.

Another question about wormhole physics: We've established matter can be transmitted through (obviously), as can a gravity well (as seen in one of the latest episodes), however.. Several stargates (in atlantis, anyway) are located in space. Why isn't all the air sucked through the gate when they dial to a space-stargate!?

Also: IMDB lists Anubis as being in the movie. Can anyone verify this/remind me what happened with him? I would assume he was just a background character, but it poses another inconsistency, what with him being 'killed' (read: outlawed) thousands of years before, and then.. you know.. ascending.

Can someone explain to me what happens with Sharee (Jackson's wife)? I just got into it around season 7, and while I've been watching the older episodes as they show, I haven't seen that one yet.

You want to know? Kind of sad.

Taken by the Goa'uld Amonnet. Apophis knocked her up and during her pregnancy, the symbiote could not take control for whatever reason. I'm not sure it was said. Two "goulds" mating is for lack of better word, taboo. The knowledge of the Goa'uld is passed on to child. Harcesis they are called. Skipping forward, they discover Shau're (Forever in a Day), Amonnet uses the ribbon device on Daniel, Teal'c blasts her and she dies.

In an episode concentrated around when the Russians had their gate they dialed a water planet with the gate submerged. It was mentioned that the gate has sensors that make it so the gate knows when something is not supposed to go through the gate, I forget exactly what they said. Anyways, it was to explain why the water wasn't pouring through the gate. I imagine it's the same for the space gates.

"Anubis" in the movie was just a Jaffa with an Anubis-style helmet as far as I can tell.
