It looks like Daniel is finally free of Vala but after she leaves the SGC he collapses in a manly fashion and upon awakening Vala is once again by his side, it seems the effect of the bracelets has continued perhaps due to the influence of the communications stones. Thus begins a journey for what will become the new SG1 as they track down the man who Vala stole the bracelets from and he in turn agrees to help if they can return a necklace Vala stole, this leads them to a trader who wants a power coil in exchange and then a cargo ship for the coil and at each stage the “treasure hunt” gets more dangerous.
Looks like a stand off
The Ties That Bind once again proves how well suited Daniel and Vala are in terms of a love/hate relationship even if the love part is always well buried, the chemistry between Michael and Claudia is well used and provides lots of humour and some drama with more to come. The adventure the soon to be SG1 embarks on is also full of it’s own humour and more importantly begins the Lucian Alliance aspect of Stargate be graphically showing that these guys are not some two bit operation, they have resources at their disposal and as mentioned lots of people looking for work and to make money in a galaxy with it’s former structure ripped apart.
Vala and her boys
It was great to see Wallace Shawn appearing on the show playing the part of Arlos Kadawarn a former love interest of Vala complete with interpretive finger play which make everyone a little uncomfortable, he delivered some great dialogue and was perhaps the highlight of a very good episode. His performance takes nothing away from Bruce Gray, Malcolm Scott and Michael P. Northey who had wonderful supporting roles and played opposite Vala with style and how great was it to see the return of Jup and Tenat who once again come out of a deal with nothing and having to explain themselves to the Alliance.
Thanks to Brad for the voicemail this week and yes it’s week 3 of the competition, the question is in the show and once again it is an episode we’ve already covered so when you figure it out email us the answer. This weeks promo is from the guys at Pulp Audio Weekly and next week we say hello to Lt Cadman who makes her debut in the Atlantis episode “Duet”, Adam will be joining us for that show.

Spooksville is a new television series based on the novels of the same name written by Christopher Pikeand brought to the small screen by writer Jim Krieg. You may ask why this is important to us and the answer is simple, Jacqueline Samuda who played Nirrti in Stargate SG1 will be appearing in the show as the character of Mrs Waverly and at least one other familiar face from Stargate will play a small part in the series.
The show premieres on Saturday the 26th of October on the HUB Network.

I hadn’t heard anything about The Millers so it came as a pleasant surprise to see Beau Bridges starring as Tom in the pilot which aired on CBS on the 3rd of October. The show has a very good cast with Gregory Thomas Garcia behind the scenes who wrote and produced Raising Hope and My Name is Earl. Beau has recently had small recurring roles on White Collar and Franklin & Bash and a change of pace in a comedy sitcom could be just the thing to get him on the small screen more often.
It’s been a while since he was at the helm of Stargate Command as General Landry
The show gets it’s UK premiere on the 14th of this month on Comedy Central.
An in depth interview with Brian about his role in the stage production of The Glass Menagerie, we know Brian from his time on Stargate Universe and recent guest spots on Defiance and Person Of Interest.
Great to see Rick continuing with his character “Rudy Hopkins” into the fifth season of The Vampire Diaries. Rick only made a brief appearance on Stargate SG1 as K’tano in the episode “The Warrior” but had much longer recurring roles on Battlestar Galactica, Heroes, Enterprise and Murder One. He’s also had guest spots on Castle, NCIS, Eli Stone, Voyager, DS9 and Boomtown.
Major Lorne and Dr Parrish are investigating a high solar radiation world and come across the body of a Wraith with it’s gland removed, believing they are finally getting close to finding Ford teams go to the world and begin a search hoping they can reason with Ford and not take decisive and fatale action to protect the city and expedition. However there is another man on the planet, a Runner who was first captured and then released by the Wraith to provide sport or maybe to fine tune their skills on the ground, either way he complicates the mission after taking John and Teyla prisoner.
It turns out Ronon Dex is seeking information on who these people are and their relation to Ford who had shot him earlier and also as it happened saved him from a Wraith and as all the parties involve dance around each other the Wraith darts turn up and once again Ford is lost to his former family but maybe they’ve found someone else with more of a stake in taking on the scourge that is the Wraith.
Industrial grooming required
Runner written by Rob C Cooper is a rip roaring action piece set on this very alien looking world, ok the trees are still trees but it seems alien with the filters they use to colourised and saturate the look of the HD filming. The introduction of Ronon Dex played by Jason Momoa is done very well and over laps with Fords appearance with real style, also good to see Major Lorne move over from SG1 to Atlantis and the first visit to the show by Jonathon Young a respected character actor who went on to a recurring role on Sanctuary.
A little help?
