Gatecast 182 SGA The Brotherhood

Jun 082013

The team visit the planet Dagan whose address was given to the expedition by past or was it future Elizabeth, time travelling does complicate things.
The world is the home to a people who now worship the long lost Alterans and consider the ZPM a religious object but are prepared to help the team believing they are the original inhabitants of Atlantis, of course Rodney talks too much which leads to the final not so beneficial results.
Koyla is back on Genii and thanks to their extensive network of spies hears of the Atlanteans visiting the world and launches an unauthorised mission against them both to gain the prize but also to extract some vengeance against John.
Rodney impresses one of the local women but totally fails to spot an opportunity and well once gone it’s gone forever so it’s back to puzzle solving, lots of digging in the dirt and fighting for your lives. Meanwhile a Wraith dart on a one way long range recon scans Atlantis before destroying itself and with the new long range scanners the city detects three hive ships on their way, the clock is ticking.

Mood Lighting Bad Guy 101

The Brotherhood is a mighty fine episode, we have the Dagan story which as intended has the Indiana Jones vibe with puzzles, exploring, double crossing and the ever present threat from the bad guy but also a little tension and action with the Wraith threat to the city. Koyla played by Robert Davi once again steals every scene but ultimately fails thanks to his lack of flexibility in some areas but he gets away so we may see him again. It was fun to see Rodney being rather appealing to an intelligent and resourceful woman, too bad for him that small window went unnoticed because she has her own agenda once she learns the truth thanks to Rodneys inability to keep his mouth shut or understand why they were helping the Atlantians in the first place.

She actually likes our Rodney

We got a voicemail from Brad who is making up for not being on a show recently and a little discussion over on Facebook so life is good but the more discussions and feedback the better so please feel free to get in touch in what ever way appeals. This weeks promo is from The Holodeck and next weeks episode is The Reckoning Part 1 which is technically the first part of a trilogy even though the third episode has a different title.
Anyway, enjoy the podcast and enjoy Stargate.

Episode 172 SGA The Storm + The Eye

Episodes No Responses »

Mar 302013

An intense storm is heading towards Atlantis and without full shielding the intricate
construction of the city will not withstand the huge forces mother nature has in store. The
decision is made to evacuate the city and the Athosians on the mainland to a nearby friendly
world for the duration with a handful remaining to attempt an almost hail mary pass by
harnessing the lightning strikes to provide the energy the shield generators require.
The Genii take this opportunity to stage a raid on Atlantis with a stolen IDC code and lead by
Commander Kolya a ruthless and dedicated officer a small strike force take control and hold Weir,
Mckay and a few others hostage. Things get a little complicated when Koyla realises he may be
in a position to take the whole city for his people if the lightning experiment is a success but
in the meantime the fly in the ointment aka John Sheppard is doing his impression of Die Hard
and removing the threats to his home and co-ordinating a counter strike with a lone jumper and
her crew who are returning from the mainland.

You will need an umbrella!

The Storm and The Eye are together an absolutely fantastic story but what really makes them
special is that taken separately they both hit the highest marks in narrative, performance and
production from the Stargate Atlantis team. The return of the Genii is perhaps quicker than you
might expect but then again why delay, the writers had a story thread with Sora and Teyla and
pure genius to imagine a hurricane as a story device which has a natural break built in.
Robert Davi is pretty much awesome as Koyla, he delivers both the style and
menace you would expect from a Pegasus human black ops commander and even better he will be
appearing in upcoming episodes as an equal to John as do the Genii in opposition to
the expedition.

Do not cross this guy!

This week we chose to release both episodes as a single feature length episode, we had the
opportunity to record with Jeff making allowances for the time differences
so they were recorded on the same day and it all felt right. We also had a small poll and
that returned more votes for a feature so here we are.
This weeks promo of from Flash Pulp, a very creative podcast releasing
short audio productions in the pulp style, lots of variety and done with flare and passion
and there is also a large community side to the productions. We would love to hear from you
so feel free to email us or use the contact options on the website, you can also find us on
