Stargate SG1 & Atlantis season premiere
Thought I'd start a combined thread for both.
SG1 -- was ok but kinda boring. It's a character building episode.
SGA -- Way cool episode but will

I haven't seen too many SG1 episodes so I'm not a fair judge but it was OK. Gotta love the two Blues Brothers references in a five-minute span. I'm having major Farscape flashbacks with Browder's character which is both good and bad.
Loved Atlantis but not quite loving what's going on with Ford.

I loved both episodes. Perhaps it is partially a result of me anxiously awaiting the new seasons...but I really like the possibilities for SG-1 and the pace of Atlantis.

For me, the nicest addition on Atlantis was the "pissed off" Asgard Hermes on the Daedelus - loved it when he was muttering under his breath in his own language

The thing I don't like about the asgards in both shows is they just look way too "puppety" for me. They have some great effects on both shows, then they throw these 80's movie puppets in there

I get the feeling she was the one that didn't like doing it and was blaming it on him, and that his muttering was bitching about her being stupid
if Thor had been there he would have been the one suggesting that they beam the nukes directly on board

That's why I put "pissed off" in quotes - he was more of "come on, let's do it already" while she was babbling on, and how she took offense when he turned away from her.
Still, I enjoy the different take on the human/Asgard interaction (and if anything, Hermes seems kinda annoyed by her - which is still different from the usual Asgard personality), and I wonder if she and Hermes will be some kind of running gag during the series.
However, Asgard can speak english and Hermes' lack of pretty much any talking could point that he has a dour "why am I here with these stupid humans" outlook
(or it could be as simple as them not finding a suitable voice for Hermes just yet)

SG1 was too much build-up and I don't know about the direction it's taking. Atlantis was better, but I have to wonder how long the deception of the city being destroyed will last? The Wrath are bound to find out at some point.

As far as Atlantis, yeah, I agree, at some point the Wraith are bound to figure out that Atlantis wasn't destroyed. I'd like to see them address how the Atlantis team is going to prepare for that eventuality.

I thought Claudia Black's character was just riotously funny; I was laughing every time she spoke. Let's make babies!!
Browder, on the other hand, loses some of his charm playing such a straight-arrow. I'm sure he'll get ample opportunity to show some better range in further episodes, but so far Cameron Mitchell is no John Crichton...

Not a big fan of either show but I couldnt resist seeing Ben and Claudia on SG1. Love how she comes out of the Stargate and brushes her hand over Ben(Mitchell) and says, You, I don't know. Kinda fun for Farscape fans.
Can anyone tell me more about her character from last season and how she fits in?

Here's a pic from last season's ep which, at first glance, could be either one of them...

Is the Vala character really pregnant or was that just a lie?
It'd be neat if she did become a regular member of SG1, but I have no idea how she could be accepted as a member of the crew.

I took that line as her just pulling Daniel's chain. She knew how annoyed he was to see her, so she said there was no tablet and then made up the story about the pregnancy. The wink sealed it for me (well, that and the fact that the tablet was revelaed immediately following the exchange).

I've never watched SG1 but loved Farscape so I checked this out and got a kick outta seeing two of my favorites again. The show was pretty good and now that Crichton is on it I might watch it regularly.
