QUOTE(glom @ Jan 25th 2006, 10:39 PM)  MYSTERY OF THE WEEK: Why exactly did the Goa'uld want to blow up Atlantis? Because a ZPM explosion will destroy it irrecoverably so the Wraith will never obtain the intel where earth is. One odd thing: Didn't the Daedalus need weeks for the trip without the ZPM? How comes they returned to Atlantis within hours, after they had already been so far away that they had contact with the Milky Way? How convenient that the Asgard could modify the engines so easily... I'm not buying it! This post has been edited by ted_simple: Feb 1st 2006, 4:29 AM |

How convenient that the Asgard could modify the engines so easily... I'm not buying it! They said that a team was sent to a planet on the edge of the Milky Way. They didnt say that the Daedalus was a huge distance from Atlantis, all they said was it was out of communication range. It is likely they were only a few days away from Atlantis and so modifying the engines allowed then to return in a matter of hours rather than days. |

This was found by Pegasus Angel. I do not think there are anymore. I think they only flew her to LA to record this one song. I quite like her singing.

QUOTE(Austin @ Jan 21st 2006, 11:29 AM) The song coulve been wonderful if it weren't for the fact that there was an orchestra in the background and her voice wasn't so synthesized. In my opinion, the same effect of panning to the rest of the team to show threir struggles during Teyla's song wouldve been much more affective if they wouldve made the song scene as such: Did anyone find it awkward that none of the other villagers were humming or playing instruments or anything...they just stood there are Teyla broke into song backed by a full tiered orchestra? I think if they wouldve had the villagers playing the instruments and Teyla faltering throughout the song, seeing as she would clearly be upset and contemplating the words she was singing, the whole thing wouldv'e been acceptable...It makes it look more spontaneous and realistic. Watching Teyla sing was like watchign Pippin sing at the end of LOTR 2....minus every single bit of elegance of that song. The whole thing was just awkward.  Now some have been complaining about that song but when I had heard it the first time I teared up. I would agree with the part without the full orchestra. A flute, handrum, (not jsut used in Celtic music, it has been used in many cultures other than Gaelic so it's not far off the mark to include it) and guitar would have been just as effective. And was for her having a hitch in her voice (assuming she liked to sing a lot, but that's an assumption we don't know about) my father, sister and I all sang at my mother's funeral and we did not have a hitch in our voices. Some thought it was amazing that we were able to do it even then. For some music is a catharsis and in this instance Teyla's song definitely had that feeling. I rewatched it recently with (slightly) less emotion and the music lent an atmosphere to what was going on all over Atlantis at that moment. I know some complained about it, butTake a moment and imagine that it had been a movie rather than a TV episode, would you have thought of the music in the same way?

One thing I don?t get is why dint they just do an MRI on everyone to find the gaould? Granted it would have took some time and they where on the clock. But I think they could have pulled it off. and was it just me or did Shepard seem a little to calm when he was talking about gaould?

QUOTE(Circe @ Dec 7th 2005, 1:22 AM) I thought this would have been a great episode if it had not been for all tht Tayla stuff. I hated the singing. I cringed and had to mute the TV. It was so stupid It ruined the entire episode! How could you say that Teyla is a great singer and the whole song in the background when MaKay entered the access codes and when Caldwell was getting tortued. It just worked |

I guess they didn't MRIs to check for goa'uld is because they didn't think they would encounter them and they would have been checked on Earth. |

No-one is right nor wrong. If some liked the Teyla story then it is fine and if others didn't like it then that too is fine. People who like the Teyla arc are not wrong.
People always have a different opinion of events in an episode and you cannot say they are wrong just because they happen to like something you do not. |

Even if I don't like Teyla at all, even if I didn't like the Teyla story in this episode, I still enjoyed much the way she sings at the end. That song fits perfectly with the images that follow. Is it really her voice there? Because if it is, she's got wonderful singing talents.

That was her voice at the end. If i'm correct she had to fly to LA and record her bit there before flying back to the set to film it. |

Well it was something different wasn't it, I thought so anyway. Added a bit of atmosphere to the ending.
Fair play to her for bothering to do something like that. |
