By the way, I apologise to everyone for the way that after adding a comment, you’re left on a blank screen. I think I know what broke it but my perfectly sensible way of fixing it didn’t work.
On topic — This was more like it. Cool spaceships, big speeches and a good attempt to make this whole Arthur business seem more cool and less sucky. We’ve come a long way since last season’s dopey-looking Merlin.
I like blowing up the Ori ship with a huge stargate opening. Very, very cool, that.

I was going to mention that but it seemed too spoilery. Not that my reviews are spoiler free but I try to avoid revealing everything. It was cool, and I liked SG-1 luring the Wraith vessel past the smaller gate too.
Perhaps the human ships could have dual layer shields. Much of the shock of the weapons makes it through the shield and causes sparks in the bridge. Perhaps two thinner shields would dampen that effect.

I think seven shields could work even even better. Possibly ten if they could manage it.
We’ve never had an official spoiler policy on ATR I suppose. I agree with your policy for TV reviews. Usually people watch a TV show, then read reviews, so I feel comfortable revealing most things. In film reviews I try to be very very un-spoilery.
I think people can expect the comments to contain spoilers though. Luckily they’re on a separate page.

In IE5, (not that anyone cares) the bottom of a lower case g or j is covered by the picture so the title of this episode looks like ‘Staraate SG-1 The Peaasus Proiect.
Ten shields? What a stupid idea. The number of shields is in base 2, so they would have dual shields then quad shields then oct shields.

I think that’s an IE thing generally. What a dilemma. Do I sacrifice my cool over-hanging letter tails so that millions of hundred thousandths of IE users don’t think this story is about peas?
I might just add something to the IE stylesheet to push things down. There’s a few IE glitches at the moment but I’m lazy. I’ll get onto them soon.
