It still had the magic right up until very recently, I reckon. There were always a few episodes that I don't exactly watch over and over (usually one with a lot of boring jaffa stuff or a Teal'c episode...). But that's just personal preference, I guess.

Recently even episodes that are my kind of SG-1 episode I could skip and not be upset (although if I did skip it I wouldn't know it wasn't the best show ever so that sentence didn't really work).

My theory is that it's fallen into that crazy X-Files trap where the show's mythology takes over and it all gets a bit heavy and all about the exposition.

Which is a shame (... that reminded me a bit of that 'Fast Show' character who used to say... 'which was nice' after a great long story about lear jets and gold toothbrushes...)

Someone please give an opinion on this episode because i am just baffled at what to comment on

I liked this episode, well the beginning anyway. It started off with some good ol' stargate humour, which was brill. For a Teal'c episode I liked it, I usually dont, infact even tho i own the DVD's of season 5 i've only eva seen the Warrior once, wen it was on tv. But this was real good.

Ishta was back, and this time I didnt hate her. Jolene Blalock showcased her classical hysterical fit special, wen she was arguing with Teal'c, which I actually thought was a brill scene.

But the best bit by far, the ping-pong match between Jack and Teal'c, did u hear the bit wen Jack cleared his throat after his voice went all high after he was hit where it hurts, lol.

The horses were also good! Can't not mention the moving performances by the horses.

Oh and the best line of the season so far : 'I've always found that sticking your fingers in your ears and humming loudly solves a whole slew of problems.' Sound advice there.

Can I ask what episode Ishta was last in? I vaguely remember her, but not clearly. Thought this episode was particularly good, some nice scenes, like when Daniel puts his hand on Carter's shoulder etc. Thought it was funny with all the horses etc, you wouldn't think you'd get live animals down there. Jack was funny and cool as per usual. However, was a bit disappointed Carter didn't get more air time, but still good ep, and it was more of a Teal'c episode anyway.

Not like you Bala!

Liked this episode. Love the ping pong scene with Jack & T'ealc.

well i know but i just didn't know what to actually comment on, this first-time where i wasn't sure if i liked the episode or not-a horse in SG-C was funny but rest was average so can u understand why i'm not sure

Jaffa episodes are so BORING. Worth watching for Jolene Blalock who's a lovely actor and the few scenes with the main cast acting dumb.
But... as Urgo would say... boring. Now THAT was classic Stargate.

In comparrison to the rest of the season so far though (apart from one or two) it wasnt that boring. And I personally thought it was one of the more enagaing 'Jaffa' episodes. I think Ishta is a good character, which helps, previously its just been Teal's and Brat'ac -occasionaly Ryac- running around with a bunch of Jaffa we just met who inevitably die or get injured at the end.

Well I really enjoyed this episode-mainly because it was original-hi-jack a Stargate has to be one of the best story-lines I have ever seen, it was brilliant-I mean I’m was rather surprised this didn’t happened sooner. Still anything with the Trust has to be good, I love there plan to wipe out the Toca and to certain I understand why they did eliminate the threat . Still I love the re-cap it helps a lot focus your thought on what’s going to happened, I’m glad they got it back but at cost of not get poison which mean this will come up again.

confused as to how Teal C was able to dial in home at end, when he wasnt able to at the start

Yes Bala, I was thinking the same!

I also enjoyed this episode. Sam was a bit slow when she beamed herself up to the ship!

well that sam for u

I liked this episode too. I thought it had plenty of action and plot. It was also cool to see carter kick butt even with her hands tied behind her back!

Are you really the claw or just an imposter ?

And are you the Doctor or the Hooded?

Don't worry Vern, I'll protect you from the Hooded Claw, keep the vampires from your door...

Although you don't really strike me as the Penelope Pitstop type...

They could dial in, but Colonel Pierce said, and I quote, "We can establish a wormhole but all we get is a “do not proceed” response to our IDC." So they could dial in, but they were being told not to step thru.

I liked this episode, it had a bit of everything, humour, action, drama (thankfully no romance, bleurgh Pete, bleurgh Ishta)
When Teal'c and the other guy were standing looking at all those bodies, it was like woah. I mean we usually here about these massacres and awful things but we dont really see it.

Cool to see the Trust again, the guys gun was really cool,sorry thats a little weird, i was just wow it looks like a revolver but no its like rapid fire, anyways . . .

Gary Davies was the best, he does the best little comedy moments and shocked reaction faces. Him and Peter DeLuise do the funniest DVD commentaries.

Conclusion? This series is definitely getting better, hooray!

Thanks for the tip of Bala! I had a look and it seems that I may be growing on you eh!LOL
Oh and the Celeb Big Brother thing, well lets just say hmmmmmmm and leave it at that!

I will say that all I do each week is to try and make it as entertaining for not only the fans but for those normal viewers as well who just tune in. But it's been fun and the feedback is always appreciated.

Yeah I liked the fact that Carter kicked butt, but also we saw Daniel in a more physical role - it's not often we see him punching someone, and even rarer it being successful - to an extent. I think that is the first time I've actually seen Daniel use his fists to fight.
