Never seen an episode of Farscape in my life but just knowing that Ben Browder and Claudia Black were on the same show together gave their scenes an extra zing, so to speak.

Ben Browder has also endeared himself to me because of his voice. Loved the voice acting he did for a character on Justice League Unlimited. The slight Southern accent that Cameron has just made me melt. And Cam did have some of the best lines in the ep. He's not Jack but he doesn't have to be.

Though, I would have liked more explanations for why the members of SG-1 have decided to be where they are. Well, Teal'c's is obvious but Daniel, Sam, Jack could have used a bit more info. But I do understand why Amanda Tapping wasn't a huge part of the episode. Isn't she going to be absent for like five eps because she had a kid between seasons?

I want more. Damn three parter. And yes, Daniel needs to shave.

I liked the premiere after seeing it for a second time. Although I thought Vala's (Claudia's character, sp?) outfit was bit too much like the peacekeeper's uniforms from Farscape. I kept expecting peacekeepers to pop up.

Great comedy in this ep. I don't see why Cameron was awarded a Medal of Honor though. Cuz while he did shoot down ships and then crash and is possibly the only survivor from his squadron, he didn't do anything too extraordinary. At least not in what we were shown.

Looking forward to seeing more of this season.

I agree there, that was a little over the top. If I had, by some miracle had the job of writing this show... I would have played that sceen up a little more. Had the surviving members of the squadron withdrawing after expending all their ordinance.... Then one last attack ship takes a run at SG1's cargo ship, it gets by the Promethesis, lines up for the shot. You see Sams face looking out of the cockpit... aware certain death is near... Then out of nowhere Cameron brings his damaged shot-up fighter, trailing smoke into view and rams the cockpit area of the attack ship. Both aircraft are last seen spinning uncontrolled to crash into the white of the Antartic.

The scene I did really like was the part where the doctor told him the odds against him ever walking again. Says alot about his character without taking alot of time talking about it.

I'll start out by saying I liked the episode, moreso than I had first suspected I might after seeing the promo.

I have only seen a few episodes of Farscape, and never really got into the show, but I did like both Ben & Claudia in their roles on SG1. I knew I would like the wise cracking thief Varla after seeing her in the episode last season w/ Daniel. The premier just proved my instinct was right. I like Ben's character too, though is humor and sarcasm are a bit too reminiscent of Richard Dean Anderson's character. Ben did seem to jump right into the role very easily and I think will be a great addition to the cast.

My only real gripe is that he gets top billing over the rest of the cast? That seem right to you?

Crichton was even more of a smartass than O'Neill. When I first heard that Ben was going to join the cast of SG-1, I was happy because I knew that he'd bring back that sense of humor and smartassness (?) that the show had been lacking when RDA's screen time was cut down. While he may be too reminiscent of O'Neill right now, give the writers a little time to get Ben's voice down and in no time Mitchell will be saying things like, "Something's got us all shaking like a sheep in Arkansas."

I'll preface this reply by saying that I LOVE Ben and I LOVE Farscape so, Frell Yeah!

Speaking of the billing, does anyone else hate what they did to the opening credits? I don't mind them doing the acting credits during the show, but to have that 10 second thing with the gate and the wormhole leading to the creators' names is just dumb. If they're going to do it that way, they should just end with that shot of the gate with the title and put "created by" underneath it. (They had to change the opening credits because SciFi wanted to be able to sell more advertising time.)

Right, that's what was posted online and in the Stargate Magazine. I was actually surprised to see her at all (only on a computerscreen but anyway). Why Daniel was packing up and ready to leave is a mystery to be, can someone enlighten me on that one? And Richard Dean Anderson will only have some special apperances as he does want to spend more time with his family after all those years first doing McGyver and then SG1. I can understand that but he is dearly missed, for crying out loud!!!

I read someplace that was to promote the show, RDA was actually against it, but the execs wanted that way. In the beginning he was the " name " actor to draw an audience. Have'nt a clue why they pushed it as long as they did.

I never really got the Shanks/Browder resemblence either until I saw the "Separated at Birth" page on Karlsweb (currently MIA site, karlsweb.com). It was two very similar pics of each actor: similar background, same tshirt, setup/posing, etc. I've always assumed they're from the SciFi publicity machine. Since the original pics are AWOL with site, I'll just point you towards the thumbnail still lodged in Google (Google Image Search: H_JohnCrichton_DanielJackson ) It's cropped to just their faces & isn't the fullsize pic, but you get the idea.

Ever since last week I've been excited for SciFi Friday... how'd that happen?

Huh. After checking that pic out, I'd have never have seen much resemblance in those 2. I kinda do now. Thanks for the info.

ok, having watche the premier like 4 times friday night/sat morning alone,( i have absolutely ZERO life ), we need to remember he ( daniel) IS the earth's best expert on the ancients, and now, with the Dedalus(sp?)launching for atlantis(note that this episode takes place before the atlantis season 1 finale - before the re-enforcements with the super duper naquida generators, and the rail guns, came through the gate from earth), Daniel has the oportunity to be the proverbial kid in the ancient candy store. so to speak...
