SG1: Ark of Truth

[sholio]

Finally watched this! Uh, yes, I'm very behind. Thank you very much for the DVD, sgatazmy!

OH TEAL'C MY TEAL'C. *hugs him* Actually, nice to see them all again! But it should be no big surprise that the two scenes that really stood out for me were Teal'c talking to Tomin (oh, Teal'c! *wails*), and then getting shot in the back (I gasped!) and general coolness thereafter.

The movie was a visual feast. Gorgeous scenery and other worlds, neat special effects -- I loved flaming!Adria and the f/x when they dematerialized in the Supergate and, well ... all of it, actually.

It didn't rock my world in any major way, but it was a solid, fun, extra-long episode with great f/x -- and what else can you ask for, really? And I may have squeed a little bit when the theme music started playing across the beautiful mountains at the beginning. So nice to have a brand-new outing with the team again!

Edit: And the macaroons again! I may have squeed a little bit there, too! I had a particular fondness for that bit because I used them in a fic not too long ago.

I was a little disappointed with Ark of Truth and Continuum both, because of the fact that they're extra-long episodes. Continuum turns into a movie for about 10 minutes, but then the director must've slapped himself upside his head and reminded himself he was shooting a TV show or something...

Haven't seen Continuum yet (and I'm basically 100% unspoiled for *anything* about the movie, so I'm looking forward to it) but yeah, this *definitely* felt like an extra-long episode of the show. I thought it was a pretty solid episode, as they go, but there wasn't anything in it that's going to stick with me for a long time.
