Why oh why does Stargate SG-1 still insist on doing clips shows after all these years?...

I mean come on... And why do they have to be designed to actually give some story line in them so fans wanting more to the story need to watch them?... I seriously will never understand it... And you know what? even Atlantis had a mini clip show in disguise! Whats up with that?

Personally I'd rather of had 1 more less episode this season then the "Citizen Joe" episode.... but that's just me...

The reason that they have clip shows is the same reason there have been more on-world stories recently... money. The budget is stretched thin between SG-1 and Atlantis and the production team is striving to create the best stories and visual effects given the situation.

Personally, I like that the clips shows progress the story line forward, incorporating some new footage. TPTB certainly understand that every fan might not like them, but it saves a lot of cash for other episodes. The special effects in Atlantis have been amazing and from what I understand Mobeis will be a killer season finale.

The Atlantis episode you are referring to was not really a clip show. Yes, there were a lot of flashbacks.. but they were not very long and was not the center of the story. I do have problems with 'Letters From Pegasus' but more because it seems too much like a ST:Voy episode.

I agree they are not the most exciting episodes, but usually are to save some cash for an even better episode to come... and there aren't very many. Also consider that an upcoming episode 'Threads' fits a 1hr 30min timeslot rather than the usual hour... almost a two parter :)

'Letters from Pegasus' wasn't a clip show at all. There was at most 2-3 minutes of old footage in the entire 40 minute episode, and it was fitted in very, very, very well. (Zelenka's Czech naration of Atlantis rising....brilliant.)

It was a well thought out episode.

However, I have yet to watch Citizen Joe. Just pointing out that Atlantis did not 'have a mini clip show in disguise'

    • Nvidia GeForce NOW gains support for seven more games as discounts continue

      Nvidia GeForce NOW gains support for seven more games as discounts continue by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe There's a brand-new update rolling out to Nvidia's GeForce NOW streaming service, and like every week, that means more games have received support on the platform. This week's drop has additions like Aphelion and Pro Cycling Manager 26 attached to it. Don't forget that the GeForce NOW summer sale is still active too. This limited-time offer drops the 12-month Performance membership from $99.99 to $64.99, saving members $35. At the same time, the 12-month Ultimate membership is currently going for $129.99, dropping the price by $70 from the original $199.99. Moreover, Nvidia reiterated that support for GOG single sign-in and game library is incoming this summer, joining stores like Steam, Ubisoft Connect, Battle.net, and Xbox. "Connect supported game store accounts and stream titles with GeForce RTX power. Games that include cloud-save functionality help keep progress intact across devices," added the company. "Start a game on one screen, pick up where playtime left off on another, and spend less time managing installs and storage space." Here are the games joining GeForce NOW's supported list this week: Embers of the Uncrowned Demo (New release on Steam, available 13) Pro Cycling Manager 26 (New release on Steam, available June 15) Aphelion (Steam) Citizen Sleeper (Epic Game Store, Free from June 18-25) Megastore Simulator (Steam) OPERATOR (Steam) Super Meat Boy 3D (Xbox, available on Game Pass) Keep in mind that, unlike subscription services like Game Pass or EA Play, a copy of a game must be owned by the GeForce NOW member (or at least have a license via PC Game Pass) to start playing via Nvidia's cloud servers. There is also a limit to how many hours subscribers can use the service per month, with extra time being purchasable in chunks.

    • Most AI-powered mainframe migration vendors expected to fail by 2030, Gartner warns

      Most AI-powered mainframe migration vendors expected to fail by 2030, Gartner warns by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels You may have read that many companies still run code written in ancient programming languages like COBOL and pay a handsome sum for those who can maintain that code. Well, it looks like this area of the tech world could be the scene of an AI bubble. It turns out that there are mainframe exit vendors, helping companies move their legacy mainframe systems to modern cloud environments or servers such as Microsoft Azure and AWS, using generative AI tooling. Unfortunately, 75% of these vendors are now expected to pivot or cease operations as market realities take hold by 2030. Alessandro Galimberti from Gartner said: Some of the companies in the mainframe exit market are IBM, 21CS, BMC, Broadcom, Rocket Software, DXC, GTSG, and Kyndryl. The reasons some of these firms are expected to quit the market are a reset of market expectations and a decline in demand for one-size-fits-all migration solutions. The reset in expectations is likely to be driven by cost overruns and threats to business, and the potential occurrence of critical failures within businesses as a result of bad transition implementations. These insights from Gartner are pretty interesting because it’s a specific area of the market where doubt is being cast on generative AI. Many people have cast doubt on whether AI companies will successfully justify the massive amounts spent on GenAI to date, and this data from Gartner suggests the road could be rocky for GenAI.
