Unfortuantely it probably wouldn't matter; that trick would likely only work once, they could have always-on shields if they wanted, they just haven't had a reason.

Just set up several covert teams in position to take out all the System Lords all at the same relativistic time.

A possibility that keeps coming back to me is the whales from Atlantis; it would explain the choice of a mostly-water planet as the last hiding place of the Lanteans (I think that's what they're calling themselves these days...   ).

Nah, Echoes (SG:A), I'm pretty sure, indicates that the whales don't have that much intelligence.

re:sniping, system lords are a different matter, I thought we were talking about priors.

[Reply #682 on:]

Sniping at system lords would make for a boring show.

Zip, -crack- Apophis is dead. Zip, -crack- Ba'al is dead. Zip, -crack- Yu is dead. Zip, -crack- Kronos is dead. Zip, -crack-, oh you get the idea.

A little of a, a little of b.

With the Priors, you'd have to have a wide information net to determine when a Prior has visited a planet and when he is coming back.  You set up the sniper so that when the Prior takes his first step out of the Gate, he meets a 50 cal armor-piercing sniper round, right between the eyes.

A Steyr IWS2000 would be the tool for that job... mwuhahaha...

[Reply #685 on:]

Personally, I'm a fan of the Barrett M82.

[Reply #686 on:]

Oh right, sure, go with the American brand...

Nah, using a Steyr would be a strange choice indeed, after all, they are prohibited from doing business with federal organizations in the US after selling some sniper rifles to Iran. I'm pretty sure this is why you will never she a Steyr rifle on the show. Really.

@Nix: I'm sure they tried this already, but failed so miserably that they didn't want to show this to the world. 

[Reply #688 on:]

We've all sold weapons to Iran at some point in our lives.

NB: I saw the Season 10 box set in K-Mart the other day. It hasn't even finished its TV run here on Australian TV.

[Reply #690 on:]

David Hewletts A Dogs Breakfast is out on DVD guys, it's great.

[Reply #691 on:]

Anubis has arrived

And since it's mentioned in the article, let me just say that any of you Brits that have the opportunity to see the King Tut exhibit should immediately take it.  It's amazing.

[Reply #692 on:]

So, new Atlantis episodes... who's downloading?

The 1st, 2nd and 4th eps are out, the latter being leaked by Apple on iTunes by sheer dumbness.

So far they're ok, nothing great, Jewel Staites butt wins.

[Reply #693 on:]

The Complete SG1 box is made of awesome.

[Reply #694 on:]

Ok, I'm all for developing character histories, but what's with rodney suddenly being afraid of whales? Wasn't he the one who was excited about the lantean whales a couple of seasons ago? You'd think such a latent fear would've come up then...

[Reply #695 on:]

Yeah, this episode was kinda ... not good.  Although I almost died laughing at the random clown.

At least Sam's calling McKay "McKay" instead of "Rodney."

[Reply #696 on:]

yeah, offhand I can't think of an ep I enjoyed less; the interesting bits were all in dreams, which always seems like a cheat to me. The best writers must be busy with the movies or something.

The clown was funny, but the whale didn't look like any kind of cetacean I know of, particurlarly the teeth and gums. Of course, it was just a dream...

Also, not that I don't like having her around, but didn't they need Carter in the milky way, what with the whole Ori situation?

[Reply #697 on:]

What Ori situation? Doesn't the first SG1 DTV film put an end to the whole Ori thing?

[Reply #698 on:]

... well, normally I'd just shrug and say "magical season break" but they had a cliffhanger, and you really can't say that even a single day passed between First Strike and Adrift.

[Reply #699 on:]

I haven't watched the show lately, in quite a few years.  I stopped watching after Daniel Jackson left [I'm not a fan of change] but after seeing an episode this weekend I realized I missed out on a very good series.  The episode was "200", It's made me want to catch up with the 4 or 5 seasons I missed.

[Reply #700 on:]

200 was one of the most enjoyable 44-ish minutes of my life.

And yes, you left just when it really got good - the villains got more villainous (Anubis, Ba'al, human-form Replicators, the Ori), the ships got sexier (the makings of a Tau'ri fleet, if they could keep the damn things from exploding), and Daniel became more Jack-like, which is always a good thing.

[Reply #701 on:]

It's going to take a while to catch up because I can't afford all the dvds.  If I would have known that Daniel Jackson came back I would have started watching it again.  Was Jack only gone for the last season?

[Reply #702 on:]

Jack left after season 8, so Seasons 9 and 10 it's been Cam Mitchell, an amiable enough replacement, if no Richard Dean Anderson.

[Reply #703 on:]

I guess I could deal with that. 

Does anybody know which cast memebers are going to be staring in the movies?

[Reply #704 on:]

Everybody.

[Reply #705 on:]

SWEET!

I watched another episode today and honestly, not having Jack O'Neil isn't a big deal.  The rest of the cast seems to pick up the slack quite well.

Teal'k - PI
"Indeed."
   

[Reply #707 on:]

I would totally watch Teal'c, PI.

[Reply #708 on:]

Indeed.

It was the best pitch any of them made.

[Reply #709 on:]

Preggers!

She's got to be.

[Reply #710 on:]

Seconded

Who? What?

[Reply #713 on:]

Just finally saw the series final (Aussie TV can just fuck right off).
Pretty cool stuff.

Show spoiler

It was nice to see Daniel and Vala get it on, even though it was negated rather neatly by the whole time thing... And now Teal'k has a grey streak to show his extra fifty years.

Perhaps not the grandest sendoff, but it did have heart.

[Reply #714 on:]

Who's the daddy!

Anyhoo, LOL at the disposable old guy who could see the future for some raisin and somehow could make other people see too.

[Reply #715 on:]

Faze - are you talking about one of the movies?

[Reply #716 on:]

Atlantis!

Ark of Truth: March 11, 2008

-Link fixed by me, Nixorbo, not by Tweek, who is a jerk.

[Reply #718 on:]

Yay! Now we can finally get this movie over with so we can concentrate on Continuum! 

Seriously though, the Ori story needs to die....Now.

[Reply #719 on:]

So does anybody have any details on the new Stargate spinoff, Stargate Universe?
Wiki has nil.
