i liked the episode myself decent but not amazing
but what socaity could these ppl be from
altarans and orai mabe? to advanced human civilasations trying to kill one another? might explain the hatred they had for 1 another

Mr E

Awful

I think they were from some no-name civilisation that no-one gives a rats ass about, and are only used to fuel these boring filler episodes.

When Torri Higginson is given a central role like this, you really get to see what a bad actor she is....

Very poor. Start a story arc, PLEASE!

Roll on SG1 on Friday.

they where to advanced to be from some no noname civilisation

Catsmokinpot

no-name civilisation filler eppisode as described before, perfect way to put it really, weak episode, they need to get more technology if you ask me, and actually find another ZPM that works :rolleyes:

how stupid did they make the Ronin out to be? and all of a sudden wier was a super killer? and she takes out a load of marines with a few kicks?? LOL she knows all about technology but didnt know how to reload a gun and there fore didnt know how many bullets there were in it?

i like the series tbh pleanty of potential there for some good sci-fi to unfold

the writers just need to get up off their fat arses and come up with something better, its turning into startrek here

Awful

Poor. Damian Kindler can do better. Again, a civilization appears out of nowhere - amazing advanced in a galaxy dominated by the Wraith - and does a boring possession routine.

Weir taking out the marines was pathetic. Not only was it poorly executed, the marines then lay groaning on the ground for ages without bothering to move. She incapictated them all with a few kicks? Please - Lorne and the others are well trained and top of the class. Not believable.

And having Ronin almost believe them, along with Teyla? After all they've seen? Did their IQs drop sharply this week?

As an exasparated McKay said, "Oh here we go again". Damn right and it's tiresome.

Terrible episode, all the reasons have been listed above

DingChavez

Yeah, it was really bad...

Beating up four marines in 5 seconds with those little arms...... come on. And they were still all moving while she took all their weapons off them.

Even Rambo would give up surround by four marines with guns pointed.

They can do better.

slade_x

i wouldnt say a bad episode but there doesnt seem to be much happening,

However in SG-1 9x11 has gotten very interesting

Ahh it was ok, hopefully the next one will be better: Genii anyone?

No thanks

senordingdong

Poor

It was dull but had some good twists.

Ultimatly I foudn it interesting and entertaining.
I've given up whinging about continuity at this stage.

However, the only reason I went for 'average' instead of 'poor' was because it had one redeeming quality and that was Caldwell..he really came into his own and did a great job of it too. I hope to see more of him and really wish he had gotten the chief military officer position.

Poor

Average episode at best.

The imprienting of minds reminded me of the earlier episode where Rodney and the military officer (Kaplan I think was her name) got merged in the Wraith Dart.

If Sheppard was imprinted after Weir, how did he gain control first?

It was no harm to see Ronan get shot - far to often he has been in fights with 3 or 4 people and never came away with more than a stratch on his forhead.

If the producers are going to bring in these nameless extinct races they should at least look at the possibility of the teams cannibalising the technology - God knows it come in handy later on.

Im a huge fan but I actually switched off this episode it was so boring - watched prison break instead
