As one would expect, I zipped by Best Buy yesterday after work and picked up the Stargate SG1: The Ark of Truth movie and watched it when I got home. Overall, I was happy with the wrap-up of the Ori plotline and the movie itself. It was good to see all the familiar faces again all together in a team.
I'm rather looking forward to Continuum, due out this summer, mostly because RDA will be in it -- I miss Jack. I'm really hoping for just a smidgeon or three of Sam/Jack moments or some acknowledgement of their relationship. Especially after the cut dialogue between Sam and Jennifer in SGA's "Trio." (lj link) Why oh why did that have to be cut....???
Oddities...
* The question of who wrote the program to create the Replicators on the Oydssey was never answered.
* The question of what exactly Morgane Le Fay was doing to "distract" the Ori and Adria was never answered.
* I have an odd suspicion that the two above questions could be the answer to each other. Perhaps MLF created the program in some human guise? And the gave it to IOA/Merrick to get to the Odyssey to use said Replicators to distract the Ori/Adria whilst one-half of SG1 was working to open the Ark?
Yes, I watch too much tv and think too much. ~grin~
Hey, we finally got to see what a human/Replicator mish-mash would look like. Very unpleasant. Though the skeleton thing after Host!Marrick got blowed up was kinda cool -- reminded me somewhat of Terminator for some reason. Some friends and I kept expecting to see "Apophis-Bug" after his ship got taken over some seasons back. Alas, never happened.
Poor Cam -- he must've taken a bit to get better. Oddly, I'm used to see Ben all bloody and such after four years of Farscape.... Heh.
The only thing that was a bit too easy was at the very end, after they opened the Ark and then MLF came in to duke it out with Adria. I had the "and they all got hit by a bus" feeling when the two energies crashed, spun a bit, and then vanished. And that was it. Um...okay.
I did chuckle a bit at Landry's comment to Daniel at the end about the Ark being studied by those at Area 51 (which is a *really* scary thought if they figure out how to use it to convince people of their "truth"!) that he "had done all he could do." I was expecting Daniel to make a comment about how he'd heard that before from MLF (in the Ori jail cell).
The ending with the team going through the gate was lovely. I was very glad they just didn't end it at the defeat of the Ori and that was some time given to more personal wrap-up/interaction.
