Stargate SG-1 Discussion

[dfergie]

Watched Homecoming last night, the one where Jona's leaves SG-1... good episode...

 

[SatelliteGAL]

I need to start watching these all over again. It has been a while.

I've been thinking the same thing. Every time they mention an episode I can't remember enough about it.

 

[long_time_DNC]

A few plot details usually helps me remember, if it's an episode title that doesn't immediately jump out at me like "1969" or "2010".

Wish I could find the time to watch them from the start again...

Oh, the only reason I know episode names is because I rip each episode to the ipod, and use the names. I definitely don't remember the names for long.

 

[long_time_DNC]

Some of the names just stick in my head. Such as "The Nox", "The Fifth Race", "Seth" (duh), "A Hundred Days", "Watergate", "Scorched Earth", "The Fifth Man", "2001" and many, many others. I just know the episode from the name.

Then there's titles like "Absolute Power", "Rite of Passage", "Summit", "Past and Present", "Paradise Lost", "Fragile Balance" and many, many others that don't trigger any memory of their plot at all...

I'll have to check to be sure... but I think the SGA Rising Dvd looks better to me than SG1 TAOT... on my new Sony player...

 

[long_time_DNC]

TAOT BD isn't out yet...you're talking how the standard dvd's stack up against each other in upconvert?

 

[dfergie]

Yeah... SGA Rising looks pretty slick now to get back to it... (been busy in the Directv forum )

 

[long_time_DNC]

I'll have to try that and compare them with my Panny.

 

[dfergie]

Looks just as good on the Magnavox on the 99" ...

 

[rockymtnhigh]

I'll hold off on TAOT until I finish the series, and by then, it will hopefully be available on BD.

I just ordered the season 8 dvds. I am already missing the old team, and they haven't broken up yet.

 

[dfergie]

Watched the one where they rescue Ryak and Bratac from the Jaffa Slave Camp before bed last night... classic SG1 episode...

 

[long_time_DNC]

Yep, that was a good one...

 

[rockymtnhigh]

Just watched Heroes, p1 and 2; where Janet Frazier dies. It was a good episode, and probably not as shocking as it would have been if I didn't know this was it for her. Although I think the attempt to shock the audience, thinking it was O'Neill was probably not very effective or believable. Again, I KNEW the outcome, so I knew it could not be him.

All in all, it was still a touching episode; maybe not quite "Henry Blake's plane was shot down over the sea of Japan..." touching, but definitely powerful.

I sure wish they had not gotten rid of her.

Oh... and Woolsey's first appearance... what a prick. I wanted to just say "computer, end program." And be done with him.

And finally, I realized I have now watched about 140 episodes of SG1. Very few shows are that compelling. And get better and better each season.

 

[long_time_DNC]

I enjoyed the multi-reality SG1 episode where they brought Janet back in an SG1 team from an alternate reality, even though her role was small. I missed her from Heroes (1&2) through the end of the series.

I agree, it wasn't as shocking as Henry Blake's exist, but still, when I first saw the episode, I didn't know it was her right off.

I miss SG1...wish they'd do another direct-to-DVD movie...

 

[rockymtnhigh]

I suspect seeing it the first time was a bit surprising. Good to know she comes back at least once. I was hoping she would have been in Continuum. No reason she couldn't have. Thinking of it... I need to watch that movie again.

BTW, I just found this cool Stargate timeline: Arduinna's Stargate SG-1 Handbook: Timeline


Its incredibly detailed. Trying to just stop reading where I am at the end of season 7.

 

[long_time_DNC]

Wow, think of the time put into putting that timeline together! Boggles my mind...

 

[dfergie]

Watching Avenger 2.0 right now... have to check out the timeline...

 

[long_time_DNC]

Like Rocky said, it's extremely detailed... Wow!

 

[rockymtnhigh]

It also catches some of the inconsistencies in the timeline quite well.
