QUOTE(Sibylle @ Dec 16th 2005, 8:11 PM) I'm finding it quite stupid that some things from earlier episodes aren't used trueouth the series. You'll find that they tend to appear in later seasons. The writers cant go back and use everything they have found immediately otherwise the story would be over after a few seasons. Every season has a number of standalone episodes that do nothing to further the main plot but are there for character development.QUOTE Like the personal shield device found by Rodney in the beginning Using that all the time would make it too easy for the team. Whenever they went off world, they would only need to sent McKay. He would be invunerable, where is the fun in that?QUOTE or transporters from the Asgard beeing installed on the ancient base There are already Ancient transporters. We see them in a number of episodes, 'Hide and Seek' for example. QUOTE or asgard sensors......... The city already has sensors. Since the ZPM was installed they have been able to get sensors on line. That is how they found the Aurora.QUOTE Quest for the zpm's seems to be stopped Like I said earlier, finding everything they need immediately makes it too easy for the team. Where is the fun if they managed to get the city up to full power (3 fully charged ZPMs) at the end of season 2? |

Wow. Simply wow. This is one of the best episodes of ANYTHING I've ever seen. I'm just ... wow. It was the little things that all came together so well. I just adored this episode. I don't know what else to say.
EDIT: I ordinarily detest "disaster" episodes. Where someone crashes and they need to be rescued - it's a way too overdone scenario. But this was more than enjoyable. This post has been edited by Rin Daemoko: Dec 17th 2005, 2:36 AM |

this ep was average. i'm not a big McKay fan but he didn't play bad his part. sometimes was it very funny when he talk with oneself. Carter was also good but her pink outfit was 'distinctive'. now we all know what is in McKays head
 i hope that the next ep will be more interesting. really... i have to say that the second part of this season isn't so good like first one. that's bad and i hope it'll change  |

I thought this episode was sweet.
Shame Griffin had to die, he was a nice guy. AT was hot in this episode, I love what she done with her hair, it's very elegant and the clothes -  Anyway moving on, a good episode, nothing like the SG-1 episode, "Grace". I liked this episode. 8.5/10 - Shame I can't the same for PJ6. I'm gonna miss the hallucinated-Carter.  This post has been edited by Carter-Hot: Dec 19th 2005, 1:03 PM |

did anyone else think that it was weird that sheppard was the one coming up with the ideas to save makay? he ran off and got the winch and the magnetic (???) hook together and then retrofitted (without permission i might add) them onto the PJ. wasn't it sheppard who had the idea of turning the cloak into the shield? or was it zelenka. which PJ was it that they were testing out? was it the one from '38 minutes' or the one that the wraith messed about with? |

Probably the Puddle Jumper that was shot down in Condemned..
Rodney said in that ep that he couldn't fix it unless he had the necessary tools back at atlantis, so they probably went back for it after the wraith fed upon the people there.. |

I don't see why everyone is always going on about Carter.... She seems pretty normal to me; i mean, if she weren't on a popular science fiction television series, gross guys wouldn't be drooling all over themsevles everytime she is pictured wearing a sleeveless top...

In 'Before I sleep' Janus said they pulled Dr Weirs Jumper of the ocean floor. I was just wondering why couldn't they just figure out how the acients did that.  |

Probably they don't enough power to activate the Ancient's version of the Asgard transporters. We know they sorta have them, cos their "mini-transporter lifts" beams people from one location to another within the city. Maybe in order for that system to be activated they need a 2nd ZPM.
Cos they said in "Intruder", now that the ZPM was installed, new systems has come online. |

Yeah, that seemed a little surprising for me too since Shep usually isn't the McGyver-type of character (so to say ) who comes up with solutions in spheres not related to military stategy.All in all this episode was really entertaining. I've always loved the way Carter and McKay interact, there's really something special about their 'relationship'.

i also liked this episode..
just one thing was strange, first we see carter swimming to mckay in her bra and make out with him, then mckay realises that she is distracting him... in the next scene we see carter wearing that pink shirt again and completely dry... is that goof? or was that part with the bra only in mckays mind? like that scene in 'grace' where carter kisses oneill at the end.. and how do you guys know that carter was wearing panties? because you cant see that in any scene... but someone wrote it.. and does anyone else think that carters bra looked kinda strange? like it was too big? but maybe it looked like that because it was wet... oh and nice to see that amanda has her nice figure back after giving birth.. |

QUOTE(Raxor @ Dec 14th 2005, 12:42 AM) much better than grace anyway in the end so im happy LoL... definitely. Ah, t'was brilliant. "I'm arguing with myself over who had the idea first, me or me. I am petty!" "and arrogant, and bad with people..." *snigger snigger* Great Rodney episode. It's good to know he knows all these things about himself... and...well.. okay so I can;t really think of anything intelligent to say about the episode. I just really enjoyed this dip into Rodney's tortured psyche (cough, cough). I think the main differnece between Grace and Grace Under Pressure is indeed the differnece of attitude between Sam and Rodney. Sam takes everything cooly, she was very focused the entire time... and Rodney just goes all over the place. It's great to see a superhero that isn't very well equipped to be a super-hero - and much more interesting, IMHO. Well, that and the fact he wans't stuck in there for weeks over weeks. I can see his reaction to his imaginary Sam if he'd been there for a week ;) QUOTE just one thing was strange, first we see carter swimming to mckay in her bra and make out with him, then mckay realises that she is distracting him... in the next scene we see carter wearing that pink shirt again and completely dry... is that goof? or was that part with the bra only in mckays mind? No goof. She was in a bra as long as she was trying to distract Rodney. Once his less subconscious subconcious (er) took over and realised what she's trying to do, he re-dressed her so she won't distract him. This post has been edited by Pitry: Dec 26th 2005, 5:18 AM |

Anyone else noticed this
I'm not entirely familiar with the gate symbols, but is that Atlantis' Point of Origin or something? This post has been edited by Carter-Hot: Jan 2nd 2006, 5:21 AM |

It is difficult to tell if it the point of origin for Atlantis but it stands to reason that it would be as that is their base of operations.

I am not very often in this forum so i have no clue who or what TPTB is, help me please ;) Is that an official source or what?! Or just a user, cause then i dont give a fu** ;) no just kidding but anyway: hey i am not stupid, sure it is not the real carter, but just think about the fact at which point in the story she first appeared (still not getting it?). What happened shortly before that? THINK ;) The more i think about it the more i am sure that Rodney is not haluzinating. This post has been edited by Deathcrow: Jan 9th 2006, 2:58 PM |

TPTB = the powers that be. the writers, producers, etc. the OFFICIAL source of everything stargate. and no, rodney WAS halucinating. Otherwise Carter would still be on the bottom of the ocean, and would no longer be in any stargate, anywhere. |
