I guess it was an OK filler, and I'd say we'll have one or two more of them before the inevitable big battle with the Ori at the end. Not much to say about it overall. But did anyone else find it kind of strange that Sam kept refering to the Colenel as Cam like they were best buds or something? Seemed a bit wierd to me, pointless character development as said.

Nice way to cover up some of the Plot holes over the last episode. Sam tried to cover the whole lack of any asgard involvement with the whole "oh, they are busy rebuilding" line in this episode.

Just another filler episode. I dont see why they are even trying character development with Mitchell, its not like they have even given him a character. He is just given O'Neill's lines. They should have really just created a new character for him insted of just continuing on with an existing one.

Hopefully they will get back on track with the Orii soon and try and make more sence of them as they have only very loosly given information on them. Im sure the Asgard know something about them if they asked, and im sure as hell the Asgard would want to help prevent the Orii from getting into the Galaxy too.

Ah I enjoyed this one given it was a filler. It wasn't too bad of an attempt to give background to Mitchell but we are, of course, going to resist it just as many of us did with Jonas. It's just that the character is coming in too late and, moments like this aside, generally being given lines and situations intended for other characters. It was clear, last week, that Mitchell was reading O'Neill lines.

I assume we'll see this race revisited but, most likely, in a few seasons time. Say season 14...

Just one thing - why, again, does an SG1 member see themselves in their own memories? C'mon!!

I liked Jonas tbh. The thing about him was he was a totally different character. He wasnt just reading Jackson's lines he was his own character.

With Mitchell you see him doing the exact same things Jack would do and say. The writers are still basing him around Jack's character insted of a totally new character just for him..... imo anyway.

I just wanna get more Orii information and backstory ... its still pretty weak and empty atm.

This episode was real filler and did not contribute to the story arc in any way. Can help feel it was very similar to a Star trek voyager episode where paris was made relive a murder again and again (yes I am a big nerd). The Ori story is good and I hope they will get on with it soon.

Haha...I was waiting for someone to bring that up.
Yeah...as much as I love complaining, this is somethign that I don't feel we can complain about since it's something that all sci-fi shows do. Almost so-operativly.

As far as fillers go, this was below par, but still watchable and with a good, unique twist at then end.

I found it hard to get into as I couldn't shake the Voyager episode.

I still don't like Landry though.

I'll be honest, I thought this episode was rubbish. Everything just had an air of being re-hashed from other shows / series / characters. No innovation whatsoever.

Kojak

Very average episode.

It was very similar to the Star Trek: Voyagerr episode.

Sums up my review exactly.
