http://entil2001.com/blog6 Reviews and comments on the "Stargate SG-1" beginning in July 2006! Wed, 30 Jul 2008 22:39:50 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Written by Brad Wright Directed by Martin Wood The first direct-to-DVD “Stargate” film, “The Ark of Truth”, was burdened with the task of condensing a season’s worth of resolution to the Ori arc in the space of about 90 minutes. The writers did well enough under the circumstances, but it was ... http://entil2001.com/blog6/2008/07/30/continuum/ Written by Robert C. Cooper Directed by Robert C. Cooper It has been quite some time since the series finale for “Stargate SG-1”. Since then, an entire season of “Stargate: Atlantis” has aired, a writers’ strike has come and gone, and several new fall shows have been sampled and cancelled. ... http://entil2001.com/blog6/2008/03/18/stargate-the-ark-of-truth/ When it comes to “Stargate SG-1”, there is the inevitable comparison to the history of “The X-Files”.  Speaking of each series alone, there is a distinct pattern that was followed, even if it was completely unintentional.  While there’s a lot of dispute in each fandom regarding how that pattern was ... http://entil2001.com/blog6/2007/07/06/looking-back-on-season-10/ Written by Robert C. Cooper Directed by Robert C. Cooper And so it ends, the unlikely and impressive ten-year run of “Stargate SG-1”. Considering the fact that the series had been declared over after nearly every season since it’s initial Showtime cancellation after the fifth season, it’s hard to reconcile the ... http://entil2001.com/blog6/2007/06/23/episode-1020-undying/ Written by Alan McCullough and Alex Levine Directed by William Waring After a number of episodes focusing on stand-alone concepts, the season arc comes back in a big way in this penultimate episode for the series. The name of the game, as usual, is plot progression, even when it requires severe ... http://entil2001.com/blog6/2007/06/17/episode-1019-dominion/ Written by Joseph Mallozzi and Paul Mullie Directed by Peter DeLuise At this point, it’s expected that the writers will avoid the Ori arc completely until the last couple episodes. Just judging by the description of this episode, it was apparent that this would be another stand-alone effort. It’s not ... http://entil2001.com/blog6/2007/06/11/episode-1018-family-ties/ Written by Damien Kindler Directed by Andy Mikita With the season and series rapidly drawing to a close, each and every stand-alone episode becomes a new source of frustration. The battle against the Ori must inevitably continue, yet since “The Shroud”, very little movement has been evident. This episode, at ... http://entil2001.com/blog6/2007/06/04/episode-1017-talion/ Written by Martin Gero Directed by Peter DeLuise The main issue with the tenth and final season of “SG-1” has been consistency. While many were shocked when the end of the series was announced, that was more a matter of timing. The series had managed to avoid the chopping block ... http://entil2001.com/blog6/2007/05/21/episode-1016-bad-guys/ Written by Damien Kindler Directed by Peter DeLuise The Lucien Alliance is to “SG-1” as the Genii are to “Stargate: Atlantis”. They are the go-to villains whenever the writers need a generic enemy to fight or complicate matters. As a result, their involvement in an episode is usually disappointing, because ... http://entil2001.com/blog6/2007/05/13/episode-1015-bounty/ Written by Robert Cooper Directed by Andy Mikita When we last left Daniel Jackson, he was in the lovely yet evil hands of Adria, the avatar of the Ori. Oddly, SG-1 has done very little to find or rescue Daniel since his capture. His return in this episode is a ... http://entil2001.com/blog6/2007/05/07/episode-1014-the-shroud/
