DVD: Stargate SG-1 Vol. 40 (Missing Episode)


Recommended Posts

Okay then, I'm somewhat confused. I purchased Stargate SG-1 Vol. 40 today (UK) and there are only 3 episodes on this DVD for a change. According to play.com it should have 4, and according to TvTome it also says I'm missing an episode.

8.9 Sacrifices

8.10 Endgame

8.11 Gemini (I'm missing this episode from the DVD and the DVD cover)

8.12 Prometheus Unbound

Can anyone tell me what is up with this?

Contact Play.com, my Tintin anniversary set was missing the 4th DVD out of the 10 boxset - got it in the post and they refunded the postage costs to me.

Radish?

Well the wierd thing is, the cover of the DVD (front & back) doesn't mention 'Gemini'...just the three episodes instead of 4.

P.S.

I didn't get it online, I just used play.com because they had the information...soooo confused.

Gemini:

Unscheduled offworld activation: Lt. Col. Carter's IDC comes through, but it's an old one. A text message follows: "Send M.A.L.P." The M.A.L.P. telemetry shows that the person sending the transmission is Carter. But Carter is in the control room at Stargate Command.

The Carter on the other side explains that she was made in Samantha Carter's image. She is a Replicator, created by Fifth, the Replicator leader smitten with Carter. Struggling to reconcile the original Carter's copied feelings and her own Replicator programming, Carter 2 asks that she be destroyed via the disruptor ? the only weapon effective against her kind.

Carter convinces O'Neill to allow a meeting between her and her Replicator twin on the Alpha site. As Teal'c trains the disruptor on Carter 2, she tells Carter that Fifth is coming to this galaxy to conquer it; because Carter 2 shares Carter's feelings, she doesn't want Fifth to succeed. Carter tells Carter 2 that the Asgard have amplified the disruptor effects to repel a large-scale attack. But Carter 2 says that the Replicators, herself excluded, are now invulnerable to the disruptor.

Carter 2 secretly communicates with Fifth through subspace, telling him that the humans are beginning to trust her, but she needs more time.

Carter 2 tells Carter and Teal'c that Fifth was able to introduce a cipher into the Kiron pathways that control the molecular cohesion of all Replicators. This is how he was able to counter the effects of the disruptor. Carter asks Carter 2 to access the cipher through the Replicator subspace link so they can use it to modify the disruptor.

Carter 2 senses that Fifth is on his way and will arrive in two hours. She again communicates secretly with Fifth, telling him that she's almost done with her mission; Fifth never had a cipher to protect the Replicators from the disruptor. Carter 2 has been analyzing the disruptor to create one for him. It will be ready when he arrives.

O'Neill, hearing the news of Fifth's coming, gives Carter one hour for her and Carter 2 to remodulate the disruptor. After that, Carter 2 must be destroyed and the base evacuated.

In the meantime, Thor has sent to SG Command a disruptor satellite, which Teal'c places into orbit using an F-302. Carter 2 finds the cipher and creates a program to remodulate the disruptor beam &? but Fifth has already arrived.

Carter 2 activates the unmodified satellite, destroying Fifth and his ship. All this was a ruse by Carter 2 to study the disruptor, make herself immune to it and betray and destroy Fifth. Now she will make all her Replicator brethren immune, as well.

Teal'c tries to destroy Carter 2 with the disruptor, to no avail. She battles her way through the Stargate. Teal'c grabs hold of her arm, but she leaves it behind and it crumbles to dust in Teal'c's grasp.

The cells of the Replicator dust are inactive, but Carter, blaming herself for becoming too personally involved with her twin, is intent on analyzing them to find a way to beat the now completely invulnerable Replicator race.

After a lot of research and some help from a friend, we came up with the answer. In Season 8 there are only 20 episodes as opposed to Seasons 2-7 which has 22 episodes, so for DVD's 40 & 41 there will be 3 episodes per disc, and it looks likely that volumes 42 & 43 will also bear 3 episodes.

It's an interesting marketing strategy.

- If they kept with 4 episodes per disc then there would be a total of 5 DVD's released.

- If they mix both 3 & 4 episodes per disc then there would be a total of 6 DVD's released - so they're making more money technically.

One could argue that they're trying to keep with 6 discs per season...or, one could agree that this is purely down to marketing (and of course distance between DVD release dates). Nevertheless - I'm still collecting them all :)

I could be because episode #8x18 is 90minutes, and the episodes before and after are both 2 parters.

This would be my guess is for the release plan

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
    • If I were them, I'm gonna hold out until the prices of these semiconductor parts normalize. $1,049 for a ~5 year old hardware is DoA, more so for gamers. On a deeper note, if Steam Machine is priced like this, we are soo effed up for the next gen Xbox console and PS6. With great AAA titles releasing at the end of the year, this just creates more demand...and more tears for me. Lol.
    • I suspect one reason its hard to justify subsidising is that it's not a locked down device like a traditional console is. In this climate sadly if it was a "good deal" you'd get people hoarding them for anything but gaming. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is £1300 here ($1720) for some context on how other SteamOS like devices are now priced. I got the older Z1 Extreme model for £300 with a dock, just shows how insane prices have got recently.
