Stargate SG-1 Series Finale

[DonTadow]

Oh, and the DVD movies have been pushed back to January 2008: http://gateworld.net/news/2007/06/iark_of_truthi_will_be_released_.shtml

The article says the first half of 2008, which i intepret as april or beyond (else they would have used first quarter).

I liked Daniel's comment about telling the Asgard apart by voice.

I'm betting that the asgard techno ship shows up to save the day.

Nope, my money is 302s with asgard weapons.

I suppose that for the rest of the franchise, they will be continuously developing bad excuses for the Asgards' gifts to not get used, so as to keep earth from becoming too powerful and too different from the real world. In fact, as I watch the Atlantis finale, as they talk about the need to develop a satellite weapon that can destroy every replicator on a planet, like the one the Asgard had made, I can't help but wonder how the writers will choose to get around it.

Thing is that they just have to steal the relicator weapon and just get a gate in orbit around a planet, the weapon can be on some planet and just dials in. I think I would be looking to build a gate into the front of a ship, weapon and carrier built into one. Ship travels to a location, gate opens and out comes fighter after fighter, then a death ray or missles! You don't even have to carry them. Sweet!

One of my friends pointed out that the Asgard giving the humans their tech base could be considered a big F you to the universe. "Gona wipe us out. Okay! We're giving the unstable monkeys all our toys!"

I liked the ending, it was appropriately called Unending. I am not sure I like the Asgards solution to their biological problem, but I guess with holograms and their passing of the database they still have some sort of legacy, besides the whole mythological aspect.

I will be interested in seeing how SG-1 and Stargate Command is still referenced in Atlantis.

Huh. It did say Ark of Truth in January, earlier. They must have changed that.

 

[sniffles]

An entire episode (such as Unending) that is devoid of suspense or any hint that changes might be in the offing -- All the characters grow old, some die, except for Tealc, who is virtually unaffected by the passage of 50 years -- then push the reset button -- yawn indeed. Especially when the Aurai are still out there, and their leader has been ascended!


Also fifty years with the entire wealth of Asgard technology and knowledge and Carter and Daniel can't fix the shields so the ship doesn't get blown up or at least find a cure for what ails the little grey guys.

The best part of the episode was the final scene with them stepping through the gate ...

This pretty much agrees with my opinion. It really felt like a cheap way to go out without significantly altering anything, so they can start cranking out the tv-movies. And the removal of the Asgard sounded like a lazy writer's way to get rid of an overly powerful ally. It should have been much more poignant to do something like that. Preferably that should have been the focus of the entire episode.
