I like this episode, but then again I liked the episode last week, and the week before. As funny as this episode is, it isnt that good - not up to the usual stargate standard. Apart from the first few episodes in this season - its becoming a one sg1 person show. This episode hardly had any appearance from Jack, Tealc and Daniel (Are they all busy now?). The direction of the show seemed to have changed.

Hopefully next week we'll see more of SG1 (the whole gang), and not the individual characters (We had two Daniel's and two Sam all in a row). I really dont see them doing a good season 8 if the team is so fragmented now. Maybe they are preparing for something...

On a good note the episode is fun to watch. One quip is that SG1 have their own N'aquida mobile dialing devices which they could have sent through to each of the stranded teams to redial back home. Does the DHD affect the stargate that much? Earth seems to be doing fine, even without the coralated update.

I really liked this one.. I don't really see how so many people could be put off by a little humor when the last 6 years have been filled with it.. it's one of the top 3 stregnths of the show.. not slapstick... just subtle, but hey.. to each his/her own..

Jay Felger is a great character to pull out once a season to show that there are other people working at the SGC. He packed duct tape into his backpack for cryin' out loud. But the scene would have been funnier if earlier Carter had referred to the earth dialing system as MacGyvered as she did in cotg instead of jerry rigged.

As funny an ep as it was, I'm really starting to miss the team working together. The humor wasn't always so in your face.

What's happened to the danger...drama...emotional resonance?

Loved it!!! I was funny when Carter sat on a doll that looked like her, which the clothes were messed up . Also loved the ending... . I wonder when Gen. Hammond finds out what the surprise is?

I liked the dream sequence too. That was so funny. Especially O'Neill. He was rather enjoying himself. lol

I do miss the team working together. I have noticed that Teal'C hasn't been in much lately.

I have only seen half of Avenger, because the download wasn't fully completed, so i will download a fully completed version later on tonight, from what i have seen, i thought this episode was very funny, i did miss coombs though, hmmmmm do we finally get our own Alkesh ?

hopefully more then 1 person has it so it doesn't take 2 days 2 download again. like space race did...

neways... ill get it tonite

Boring ep. Carter is starting to piss me off? Her smartassness is getting o so old ... anyone else think so? They should bring in Jet Le to add some spice... have him be Yu's son or something

This episode was quite good i thought, certainly one of the best this season. Its getting too obvious of the lack of the whole team, i just KNEW they were going to send Oneill and Teal'c off on a mission. Im actually starting to appreciate earlier episodes just because the whole team is there, Teal'c Oneill and Daniel had like 5minutes screentime, if that?

Anyway, nice episode

I now have seen the full episode of Avenger, it was great, like i said in my previous post, i did miss Coombs, I hope we get to keep the Alkesh and use it in the battle against Anubis in The Lost City episodes, imagine if we got a whole fleet of Alkesh, that would rule.

Heh, great episode!
Felger very funny, little crazy but smart :-))))))))))

Well some of the jokes were just silly rather than funny, I felt more pity than anything else

But I did laugh a bit, and overall this was an ok episode, not great, not terrible.

enjoyed it more than enemy mine though, so I'd have to give it like 5.5/10

tempted to say 6, but I'm not sure if I want to

i think that that had to be my very favorite epsiode...although i wish O'neil couldve been around to crack his halarious jokes about his problems with scientists. anywho i love felger he is like a teenager when he obsesses over Carter, and i thought the dream at the end was halarious....hands down to the writers on a great ep.

come to think of it if i was a sg1 char i'd be like felgar he's simply a geekified kramer i love his daydreams too lol carter fighting over him with his assistant

So true Blue, so true. Hence the need for individual character development.

well, i thought it was decent. i think that stargate is being ruined by the seperation of the team. if they want more time with there families, what's wrong with taking a week to do an episode instead of 2 days?

anyway, i didn't really think about the manual dialing, but now that you mention it, it's starting to bug me. but what was disturbing to me when i watched it, was the ending. it was like all the jaffa were desending on carter and that geek, and then the alkesh came and it was all over. it's kinda like one of those 'and then he woke up' endings?

I think it was a good episode, funny wise......but it lacked that flawlesssubject like, the whole gate shutting down seems very unlikely if you think about it, i mean, they could dial out manually, and the SGC could send their teams a naquadah reactor to power the gate. It makes sense, right???

In my opinion, it was a good episode for laughs but had a really bad plot, too many holes and to quick of an ending. They didn't show them fixing the problem, or getting back through the gate! not every episdoe has to end in the gate room!! I would have been very happy if it had ended on the planet showing them going through the gate, with me knowing how felger and carter fixed it.

Another thing is that Jaffa are turning into babies, running away when alkesh starts shooting at it, i'm sure that couldn't have been the only jaffa on a Goa'uld inhabited planet. All i can say is, in my opinion, the writers could do better, i miss those no-matter-how-hard-you-try-you-can't-find-anything-wrong-with-it plots, and i aslo miss the on-screen chemistry of the team. When will they actually be a team again???

I like the episode, very funny ! But the end is a little strange: the dream of Felger, the mean of transportation for Teal'C and O'Neill... Maybe, we will know about it very soon.

What do you think for the explanation concerning the trouble of the DHD ? I think I have got the main explanation but not the details !! Can you give me more information ? I will see it again but I don't understand everything. It is a little complicated. By the way if you have got a manual for the Stargate, let me know !!!

Overall I liked the ep. However, I think I'd like to see the battle Teal'c and O'Neill had in order to capture the Alkesh Bomber. That would've been more interesting to me than some geek and a his insecurities. It was nice to see Sam rip her coat off though....And her new weapon.....mmmmmmmm
