SG:1 - 8x12 - Prometheus Unbound

    So what did you all make of "Prometheus Unbound"? I thought it was a rather strange episode myself! Some offbeat humour some of which - the hiccupping - reminded me a lot of Farscape and its love of such things. Indeed there were a few Farscape nods (I think) because of Claudia Black's involvement: saying there may have been a rebellion onboard was one, as was using the Super Soldier suit which very much resembled the Peace Keeper outfit that Aeryn wore when she first met Crichton & Co.

    Aside from that, I'm assuming this episode runs parallel to last week's "Gemini". Nice to see the Prometheus out and about, and it gave us a good reason to have another space battle. Wasn't so fond of the "ohh we've to go home now!" ending - but of a ho hum let down.

    The humour was generally good and some fun interaction between Black and Shanks. I'm not quite sure what to make of her and find it hard to believe that they haven't a contigency plan for being boarded by a super soldier more easily - they should have been able to seal off her without getting so quickly locked out.

    Anyway bit of an odd one... Giving it a good but may need to muse over it some more.

    Pretty good. Yes agreed plenty of humour for change. About time they went for a drive. I read somewhere that this is a five parter(loose term) so she may be round for a bit, but not sure if the Gemini thread will come into it.

    Well it's shown this Saturday as usual and would make perfect Christmas fare
    :D

    If not then it's probably already available in your US Cousin's "video" store and they could send you a copy..

    I kinda though the beginning was extremely rushed, but otherwise I enjoyed it, really hope we get to see more of Claudia black though, (howls like a wolf)

    I enjoyed the episode although Hammond seemed different. Maybe it was just me but it's the first time I just wished he'd p*** off. In fact when he first popped up I though by the way he was acting it was some sort of replicator tom-foolery. Boy was I wrong.

    Ive watched SG1 from the start and I have to say, I prefer SGA to SG1 these days. Fresh and interesting, like the early SG1 Episodes. But this thread is about an SG1 episode, which was quite good indeed.

    "Claudia has already proven herself on our show," Wright said. Black appears in the upcoming Season Eight episode "Prometheus Unbound," and will appear alongside Browder in a 5-episode arc in early Season Nine (story).

    Not a regular fan of Stargate but tuned in specially for Claudia Black (could turn a gay man straight). Good episode, even if that girl with the hiccups wrecked my head. Ixoy tells me they don't normally do crap jokes like that and brought it in as a Farscape nod (aww, you shouldn't have. No really, you shouldn't have). Other Farscape nods included Vala both cracking onto Jackson and kicking his ass(jackson being crichton's look alike and the sexual tension/kick ass thing pretty much parallelling the Crichton/Aeryn relationship in Farscape).

    Other nods included her waking up from unconciousness in a cell horrified to find she's been undressed. Same thing happened to Crichton when he first arrived on Moya, unfortunately Jackson was more of a gentlemen than Moya's crew and fitted her with replacement clothes ;) Though he never did give a reason for stripping her in the first place :confused: And her getting zapped with the weapon that renders people unconcious reminded me of Crichton getting zapped with D'argo's tongue in Farscape's opener.

    What was the story with the crate on the planet btw?

    The reason he stripped her in the first place is because she claimed the clothes she still had on absorbed zat blasts, at least to an extent.
    I'd second that he also wanted to get his own back :)

    It also helps to add to the sexual tension between them and keeps the atmosphere of the episode nice and light...

    What if he had copped a feel? :p

    The crate had weapons grade Naquda in it. She was going to trade the ship for the crate.

    I thought it was a fairly decent episode until the ending which really pissed me off. I can't stand it when they have cop-outs like that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,905 ✭✭✭User45701


    i think its good sg1 will do a epiaosde then 2 years later bring that story and charactor back
