[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mark Nguyen: [QB] The writers have stated that they have purposefully be re-using the Asgard suits. I'm guessing the same as you guys, they're ancient design. Yay, our first standalone episode. Notes: - Riley calls Spencer a "crazy person". He's got a shorter fuse than even Greer, apparently. - They're down to 40,000 liters of water at the top of the episode, which is about a week after the last one. Everyone's sunburns have healed. - Eli has set up shop in the Kino control room, which I still think is branched off of a larger away team prep room (owing to the seats in the larger room). He's also found a way to print off pictures from the Kinos, which are pasted on the wall. - The producers are using the same backlit "puddle" effect they've been using on the other Gate shows. It's a great way to save money for longer shots where the gate is active though not necessarily the point of the shot, but here it looks even dimmer than usual. I think they need to tweak it to look less obviously like a big piece of muslin with a projector behind it, especially in HD. You can even catch the glare of the light that's projecting a puddle "reflection" in front of the gate, and it's clearly coming from a light hanging from the ceiling of the set. - Lieutenant James was a friend with benefits. Thought so. Well, she takes Lt. Scott's new flame in stride, at least... - We finally see the Universe wormhole effect. As promised by the promos, it's the same as in Atlantis and later SG-1 episodes but tinged white instead of green or blue. I was hoping for something new, but I'll take this since it's the closest we've seen to the original movie effect. - Young wants half a ton of ice. How many liters is an imperial ton, anyway? It's certainly not 40,000, which is what they're missing. Whatever they brought back by the end of the episode won't make up for what the dust alien thing took. - Eli didn't know that the gate can stay open only 38 minutes, which we see here the Destiny's gates stick to as well. Apparently Jackson didn't go over that bit in his YouTube videos. :p - Franklin's a funny guy. :) Funny though he seems not to mention much to the guy who shot him a few days ago, even face to face with him. - The planetary gate was all CGI, unlike the physical prop we saw on the desert planet. - Yes, you CAN fire a fun in the absence of oxygen in the atmosphere - the bullets have their own oxidant. I'd only be worried about firing a gun in extreme cold. - Likewise, firing your gun on the Destiny should be fine, if ther writers don't care much about ricochets. They don't. - Aha! Pursuant to something I mentioned a couple weeks ago, NOW we see what happens to people randomly wandering the corridors to make them look busy. You get EATEN BY BUGS! - At the end of the episode, one of the background science nerds mentions he was scheduled to use the swap stones. Makes sense, there would otherwise be a lineup to use them. But who's volunteering to use their bodies on the other side? Is Telford swapping out with everyone to keep an eye on the Destiny team? I figure we'll find out next week. Mark [/QB][/QUOTE]
