Area 51 has unexpected guests thank to the Quantum Mirror as Sam and Kawalsky visit our reality from theirs which is being invaded by Apophis and his first prime Tealc. Tip toeing around the realities of merging two different lives proves difficult for both new Sam (married to her Jack) and Kawalsky (distrust of Tealc) but a chance to save their world by returning and calling for Asgard help is worth the risk.

Jay Acovone played Kawalsky

Episode 48 Learning Curve

The SGC and the people of the planet Orban agree to exchange tech and information but a stumbling block is discovered thanks to the unique way the Orban educate their people. Their representative Merrin and expert on power generation happens is only a young girl and other children are the focal point of information exchange leading to a clash of cultures.

A good episode to watch but not ideal to comment on since it was very visual with a lot of picture tells a thousand words scenes, still a good working of a plot that quite common in Trek, humans putting their own view points ahead of those of another people.

Merrin played by Brittney Irvin was excellent and has gone onto a very good career in television and Andrew Airlie (Defying Gravity, Reaper) is one of those actors you always recognise if not always able to name:)

The discovery of dead Goauld in a sealed complex remains a mystery until Daniel believed to be suffering a mental breakdown reveals the true fate of the former Goauld and the resulting impact on members of SG1. Legacy is a very atmospheric episode relying on good cinematography and score to heighten the suspense and foreboding not to mention a chance for Michael Shanks to stretch himself.

The System Lords come a calling, well three of them and along with Thor they offer a deal to the SGC which will ensure the safety of the people of the Earth but for a price, perhaps too high a price.This episode was awash with good guest roles from the three Goauld (Yu, Nirrti and Cronus) along with SOD Simms.

A visit from Jacob reveals the presence of a former system lord on Earth from the time of Ra. He has taken various guises over the millennia and currently is a leader of a Cult and as you would expect with the technology at his disposable he pulls off the disguise pretty well after all the System Lords are doing the same thing just on a bigger scale.

SG1 along with Jacob co-opt an ATF stake out and attempt to capture Seth while preventing the massacre that will occur if force is directly applied.

Seth is played by Robert Duncan and Jacob by Carmen Argenziano

Episode 44 Into The Fire

Jul 102010
 

Season 3 kicks off with a rescue attempt comprising of 4 SG teams armed with information from the Tokra, it fails and meanwhile Jack is blended with a mature Gouald. It all looks bleak especially for Tealc who does not get the reception he expected after returning home but duty calls and he can combine both his loyalty to SG1 and the needs of his people by leading an attack on Hathor.

A solid return for SG1 but does more to conclude the season 2 finale than prime a new season of adventures but it’s always good to see Bratac and Major Davis and not to forget Walter returning to the Generals side.

We’ve reduced the bitrate of the mono mp3 for this episode, to me it still sounds ok but let us know if you think the previous higher bitrate was better or if it justified the larger file.

This week we have a special episode from our friends over at Galactic Watercooler.

Chuck, Sean and Audra have covered the Stargate franchise in their podcast and recently did 1969 as part of a time travel mini arc so for something different they recorded an hour on the first two seasons which provides a different perspective to the show, it’s always about opinions folks.

The Gatecast returns to our usual programme next week with the season 3 premiere “Into The Fire”.

Episode 43 Out Of Mind

Jack awakes from cryo suspension into the SGC nearly 80 years later and learns his team are all dead and the current SGC command are looking for information on groups who back then were capable of standing up to the system lords. This season finale is pretty much a semi-clip show which really doesn’t do it any favours but once we get some new content the episode picks up and leads into the season 3 premiere which if memory serves is a feast of action.

The episode has two good guest stars, Tom Butler who plays Trofsky and Samantha Ferris who played Dr Raully.

Naked Sam and the eternal struggle not to peek.

Stargate Atlantis Boxset

Amazon UK are offering the complete series boxset on DVD for a mouth watering £61.97

It’s not the first time this set has been this cheap but if you are a fan and don’t already own the series it’s a bargain. I’ve no idea how long this price will last but the fact the lead time is now a few days at least says that Amazon are continuing to source stock and maintain this price point rather than reduced demand by putting the price back up.

The season finale pits the devious, ruthless and resourceful Kiva against Young and for the most part her willingness to kill anyone and sure knowledge the SGC forces will not gives her the edge. Complications arise with the Destiny in the path of gamma and x-ray bursts from a Neutron star which is hampering the FTL capability. Lucky for them that Eli is wandering the ship and is in a position to influence the events being unknown to Kiva.

The final scenes of the first season with TJ in a bloody mess, Telford seemingly dead and the military personal about to be executed was stunningly done, a very good second half to the shows initial run.

Key points

  • Calculated Ruthlessness
  • Love
  • Loyalty


The show returns in the Autumn (Fall) with a full second season, can’t wait:)

Episode 42 1969

Due to an as unknown quirk of Gate travel SG1 step though and find themselves back in the gateroom which vanishes infront of their eyes to reveal the rocket motor of a nuclear missile, they are still in the mountain but now it’s 1969. Aided by George Hammond with hair they escape and seek out the location of the Stargate and if they can get back at a particular time they can return to 1999 and the SGC they remember.

1969 is one of the better episodes of the second season, ranks high up in the whole series to be honest. It’s pure time travel scifi with lots of humour, you’ve got to love hippy SG1. The young Hammond played by Aaron Pearl was flawless both in looks and voice pattern, you really believed that was George as a young lieutenant. Michael and Jenny the hippy couple were excellent giving us the grounding in this world and offered us the emotive aspect of the story. Daniel being German was just priceless though but again continuity with Catherine was flawless.

The montage music was created for this episode by Bruce Turgon formally of Foreigner.

The first of two part finale as we see the resolution to the interrogation of Telford and Rush preparing the LA gate for connecting to the Destiny. Once again we see how the inclusion of familiar faces from SG1 really adds to the atmosphere of the story and come on seeing Sam and her 303 gearing up for combat brings back all those good memories.

The LA board Destiny thanks to Rush but out of character (or was it) Young refuses to kill them all by venting the atmosphere as Telford was with him, it would be nice to think Young is mellowing but perhaps too early for that. It’s great to Rhona Mitra (Kiva)  kick ass (come on we all fell for her as Lara Croft) and the mystery walk about by Eli and Chloe plus the spooky flesh burning radiance are really building up the expectations for the finale.

Of course the big question is why do the LA want the Destiny, it’s slower than their existing fleets, it’s weaponry is inferior so what do they know we don’t..

Key Points…

  • Loyalty
  • Trust
  • The Unknown

Episode 41 Show and Tell

Over riding the Iris a young boy steps through the gate and soon we learn he is not human but an envoy from a race called the Reetou and brings a dire warning. Faced with enemies they can not see the SGC call in help from the Tokra and prepare to battle for the future of the base and the world.

Show and Tell was a decent episode, the Reetou to me anyway seemed very Starship Troopers like which isn’t a bad thing as the CGI effects worked well enough. There was a lot of angst as Jack bonded with the boy who took the name of Jacks dead son and that emotional aspect didn’t seem out of place.
