Nah. None of that previewin' for me. I like to talk about it right when everyone else is talking about it instead of holding it in and exploding in tons of little purple streamers and gold glitter. And birthday cake. ...Sorry...I'm really tired.

I was going to ask the same question Andrew, so don't feel too bad, maybe a little, but not too much. I may watch my DVD of it again tonight.

I started rewatching season 10 the other day, then I watched AOT last night... it feels like they had the budget and the story of an episode that they needed to stretch over an hour and a half. The story felt rushed, Ark of Truth... whoa where did that come from? and what the hell happened to the vault of super treasure or whatever that Vala supposedly knew about when she was Goulded? The effects and action were both underwhelming. Even the very first shot on Dakara felt claustrophobic.
We got no cool space battles even though both Earth ships encountered Ori fleets. The replicator thing was kind of cool but really just felt like something to keep the rest of the cast busy while the story happened. And it felt too much like things they've already done before.
The replicator infested IOA guy was neat in a super-gross way.
Even the ending was awful. Just like the ending of the series finale. I wanted lots more.
I'm assuming this movie takes place right before Carter's transfer to Atlantis for Season 4. Will the next movie focus on SG-1 or on a new cast?

The short answer I suppose is that they basically had to squeeze what they had planned for Season 11 down to a 90min TV movie...with about 1/10th the money. I imagine most of the dosh would actually have been spent on Continuum. For me there was no huge disappointment as it did what it says on the tin. I expected this to be a rushed way of tidying most of the Ori loose ends so they can get on with the proper TV Movies (Like B5 & Alien Nation before them.)
