Daniel discovers the potential location of yet another cache of Ancient artifacts which may or may not include weapons technology, they gate to the location and find themselves in what appears to be a large modern museum which is currently hosting some sort of gala event, they are discovered and in the confusion shots are fired and alarms triggered which seals SG1 and some of the locals inside the structure. Alas to complicate matters the DHD is just a show piece and SG1 have to handle the “hostage” situation without hurting anymore (more than necessary) until such time as the SGC makes contact or they themselves discover a way to power the gate and manually dial out. A lone security guard takes it upon himself to take on and defeat these “rebels” while a museum researcher is vindicated in his belief that the ring device was indeed a means of travel amongst the stars but meanwhile the clock is ticking and this society which seems to be in the midst of political and social struggle have their fingers on the trigger.
We come in peace
Bad Guys is another episode that doesn’t quite seem to fit into the headlong dash to the conclusion of the ORI storyline and the wrapping up of the final season of the show, it has the feel of a mid-series episode with some decent action, humour and a few very worthy guest stars. The episode didn’t get a great reception either and Michael was quite critical of his characters actions in the episode but as we found out some heavy editing took place which may have made a significant difference to the overall context of various scenes. Ron Canada, Joshua Malina and Alistair Abell all bring their A game to the episode and make all the difference to what is a rather forgettable episode more so given the high standards of the final season.
We’d like to thank Andrew for joining us for the first time on this episode, he was well into the episode and made it far more enjoyable that it would have been otherwise, hopefully he will be back sooner rather than later and if you have the time check out his music, link below.
Thank you to Brad and Andrew for the feedback over on our Facebook page and everyone who has listened to this episode and supported the show. This weeks promo is for the Anomaly Podcast and next week we return to Atlantis for the episode The Ark, just me and Alan for that one but we hope you join us 🙂

Major Lorne is scouting an alien world and comes across evidence that the locals have a familiarity with at least one member of the Atlantis expedition when he spies the face of Rodney McKay as a centerpiece for the symbol. The revelation seems to worry both Rodney and John and they admit to having been playing what they considered to be a game but in reality was a sociological study by the ancients of young cultures which they were not shy about manipulating, it turns out that the “game” had very real world consequences. Upon arrival Rodney is revered as being the peoples Oracle and his ego is massaged to the max, he takes pride in the progress that has been made but when John’s people turn up and are more militaristic and technologically backward it appears that conflict is on the horizon.
It turns out that these two cultures were friendly before John and Rodney began playing their game but over time the more advanced culture was exploiting the natural resources of the lesser and their only response was to increase their military with a brute force counter to the more technically minded culture. Elizabeth it has to be said is not very pleased and really loses it when Radak and Lorne begin playing “god” for another culture the “game” can observe, the message of this episode is a little in your face but it certainly has merit and truth be told it runs throughout the Stargate franchise. The Game has some high points, I personally enjoyed the chemistry between Zelenka and Lorne and it’s never dull to see Rodney basque in the glory that is McKay but gratifying to see him brought down to the ground as well and in this case John shares much of the blame and fall out from Elizabeth. Laura Harris and David Dayan Fisher were both good guest stars and worked well opposite the main cast but overall the episode was lacking that little spark that would raise above what has turned out to be a very good season of Atlantis.
Thanks to Mack for the feedback on the Google+ page and for Misa for joining us on the episode, technical difficulties notwithstanding 🙂
This weeks promo is for the audio drama pulp themed podcast Flash Pulp and next week we are back with Stargate SG1 for the episode Bad Guys as they team have a few problems on a mission which turns out to be not quite what they were expecting and in time would no doubt prove to be a valuable lesson in the perils of first contact.
