I remember seeing this movie years ago when it first came out on VHS. I remember enjoying it back then... but I haven't watched it since. This DVD was in a box full of DVDs that was given to me a couple years back... and I am just now getting the chance to watch it again. This one held up well for me over the years. I still found I enjoyed the movie quite a bit. Unfortunately shortly into the movie I remembered the ending... who the murderer was... even after all these years. But that's ok...it don't take away from the enjoyment. Recommended... if you never seen it.... check it out.

Scavenger Hunt 101
Task #17.

Watch a Lethal Weapon movie I really enjoyed this final chapter in the franchise. It is a very strong conclusion. In this one they added Chris Rock... who I am not a huge fan of but I really liked how they did his part of the story. And they also had Jet Lee who was just plain awesome. Lots of great action and lots of laughs. I highly recommend this entire franchise... Is a must see!

"Stargate SG-1" Marathon, a review by DJ Doena

Synopsis: Sam is still working on one of the devices they've found in "Avalon". But then she activates it - and Cameron and she are getting "out of phase".
Additionally the Sodan have been attacked and the SGC sends help.

My Opinion: Too bad the story of the Sodan has come to an end so soon, I liked it a lot. And even though they used the "out of phase" theme again, they've incorporated it very well into the story without denying that they've used it before.

Synopsis: Vala is suddenly in the body of Daniel and back in our galaxy. Sam has built a device that is compatible to the destroyed communication device of the Ancients. But she is the bearer of bad news: She is pregnant and thousands and thousands of men are preparing for the holy war. And they are builing ships to come here.

My Opinion: There's only one story where a mother has given birth to a child that has no father. Teal'c answers: Darth Vader. Cameron answers: King Arthur. Great. I liked this episode and the fact to see Michael Ironside (Captain Hudson, SeaQuest DSV) again, the role was perfect for him.

Synopsis: The Stargate adress Daniel got out of the Ancients's device lead directly to Camelot. There they find Merlin's library and Daniel is hoping to find the weapon that could kill the Ori.
But then the free Jaffa discover a new Supergate and everyone is gathering their forces to stop the Ori: the Tau'ri, the Jaffa, the Tok'ra, the Asgard and even the Lucian Alliance. The great war begins.

My Opinion: "No greater sacrifice has ever been asked of a people, but I ask you now. To step forward one last time, one last battle to hold the line against the night. May god go with you all." (President of the Earth Alliance, Babylon 5: In the Beginning) I love brilliantly portrayed battles. Pelennor. Endor. Coriana 6. Chin'toka. When so many different parties (who may even be antagonized to one another) unite I am certain no one can beat them, not even the Ori. The price may be high, but he can't be too high if one does not want to give up the freedom of the galaxy.

The Season - My Opinion: Cameron has been very well integrated into the team. I never had the feeling to have an O'Neill copy in front of me. Sometimes he reminded me of his character John Crichton in Farscape.
While I am still not convinced of the Ori storyarc it isn't as bad as I had feared. All things considered I liked this season and I am now beginning to regret again that there's only one season left.
