TV Spot _ Christopher Judge
It’s always good to keep tabs on the work of the actors involved in our favourite franchise so lets talk about the American World Pictures adaptation of the comic series “Paradox” starring Kevin Sorbo but featuring a good role for Chris Judge.
The story centers around a murder which takes place on a version of Earth where magic underpins the entire world, everything is done with magic including cell phones, forensics, weapons etc etc and it’s science that is considered the “fringe” belief.
When the murder is committed with no trace of magical input Sean Nault (Kevin) investigates and uses his belief in science to explore avenues others would not consider, aided by his Captain (Chris Judge) and the coroner Helen played by Alisen Down (SGU, BSG, Smallville) and a science practitioner played by Steph Song (Smallville) he discovers a conspiracy which goes beyond his own reality!
I enjoyed this movie and I think any fan of SG1 and SGA (maybe not so much SGU) will enjoy it as well as seeing Chris in a more recent production still looking badass:)

Episode 51 Demons
SG1 discover the first Christian community off world indicating they were taken from Earth after the death or Ra using the second stargate. The people are mired in a religion heavily slanted towards the Devil and Hell created by Sokar and unknowingly administrated by the clergy of this world.
Tealc is called a Demon and fails the dunking test leading to SG1 and one of the villagers (Mary) to be condemned to hell through the gate of darkness while Simon a young monk and more open minded member of the village wrestles with going against his societies rules.

Episode 50 Deadman Switch
While searching for a crashed UAV the guys are captured by an a bounty hunter who intends to trade them to a system lord or use them to capture a more valuable prize whose identity causes more complications.
The episode features Sam Jones who is perhaps most well known for playing Flash Gordon in the movie a couple of decades ago and he plays the bounty hunter Aris Boch to perfection. We are also introduced to our first look at the Tel’tak cargo vessel which features strongly as the workhorse of the Goauld and independent fleets and we meet a new Tokra by the name of Korra played by Mark Holden.
Sokar is once again an element of the story which fuels his role as this season big bad.
This was a decent episode, a good character played well by Sam was the key and it was clear that SG1 has been very lucky in the past, a dedicated professional took them out easily while the more emotional and head strong system lords and followers continually fail.

Episode 49 Point Of View
Area 51 has unexpected guests thank to the Quantum Mirror as Sam and Kawalsky visit our reality from theirs which is being invaded by Apophis and his first prime Tealc. Tip toeing around the realities of merging two different lives proves difficult for both new Sam (married to her Jack) and Kawalsky (distrust of Tealc) but a chance to save their world by returning and calling for Asgard help is worth the risk.
Jay Acovone played Kawalsky

Episode 48 Learning Curve
The SGC and the people of the planet Orban agree to exchange tech and information but a stumbling block is discovered thanks to the unique way the Orban educate their people. Their representative Merrin and expert on power generation happens is only a young girl and other children are the focal point of information exchange leading to a clash of cultures.
A good episode to watch but not ideal to comment on since it was very visual with a lot of picture tells a thousand words scenes, still a good working of a plot that quite common in Trek, humans putting their own view points ahead of those of another people.
Merrin played by Brittney Irvin was excellent and has gone onto a very good career in television and Andrew Airlie (Defying Gravity, Reaper) is one of those actors you always recognise if not always able to name:)

Episode 47 Legacy
The discovery of dead Goauld in a sealed complex remains a mystery until Daniel believed to be suffering a mental breakdown reveals the true fate of the former Goauld and the resulting impact on members of SG1. A very atmospheric episode relying on good cinematography and score to heighten the suspense and foreboding not to mention a chance for Michael Shanks to stretch himself.

Episode 46 Fair Game
The System Lords come a calling, well three of them and along with Thor they offer a deal to the SGC which will ensure the safety of the people of the Earth but for a price, perhaps too high a price.This episode was awash with good guest roles from the three Goauld (Yu, Nirrti and Cronus) along with SOD Simms.
