I just wanted to express my amazement that they’ve come up with a plot involving pretty much ALL the different good guys and bad guys, with everything interrelated. It all seems very climactic, which unfortunately means that whatever follows these couple of episodes will have an increased chance of sucking in terms of the overall story.
I’m guessing the replicators are going to end up being destroyed, which is too bad, because I rather like how they’ve steadily become bigger and bigger badasses with Fifth and then RepliCarter at the helm.
And finally, RIP Lord Yu. FINALLY dead! Now who are they going to call when they need someone to conveniently attack another Goa’uld so that our heroes can escape peril?
I liked the episode, and look forward to what they have planned for the rest of the season. The Time Ship is just begging to be used, so that should be interesting.
Ares. Venus. Indra. Gwydion. Still plenty of gods in mythology we haven’t heard about. . .yet.
My guess is that Daniel Jackson will save the day. He will repeat the gibberish the ascend babe told him to the snakes and the replicators, and they will stop their attacks and spend the rest of eternity trying to make sense of it.
Isn’t next season going to be the last for SG-1? If so, I don’t know if the replicants will be destroyed, or sent off to lick their wounds for a grand battle at the end of next season. Granted, it’s more likely that Gao’uld or Wraith will be the end-of-the-series enemy, but…
My prediction:
1)If they are ‘destroyed’, it will be because evil Sam has a glimmer of good in her and golly gee, it happens to come out at the last moment. Hey, I love SG-1 like the next geek, but they aren’t above taking the easy way out every now and again.
OR
They modify the thingee in the temple to kill only replicants.
From the previews for Atlantis, it looks like they call Earth, but it would be an hour too late to help SG-1, so no solution from there. Thor and his creepy little buddies don’t seem to be able to do much, so no help from there. The Tokra seem useful like a box of rocks. Daniel can’t ascend because his contract isn’t up. And so forth. It’ll be my above mentioned 1 or 2. They won’t mess with the time machine since it would mess with the Atlantis timeline as well. (Unless it’s a 'localized distortion of the time-space blahblahblah sort, but then I don’t see how it helps against the replicators.)
All I know for sure is that SciFi has a killer 3-hour block of awesome television on Friday nights. 4 hours lately, since I have been getting into Andromeda.
