Inquisition

The reason for those episodes that many call "Filler" are not actually filler, they are reminders. Usually they are placed a point in the series right before a large plot change comes about, and it is there to remind us of everything that has happened. These episodes are very useful to viewers who only watch each episode once, but for those fanatics who watch every episode countless times, it can be rather annoying. So to the community that thinks this show is being put out of its misery, I ask you to think long and hard, and consider that perhaps this show is being ended too soon. The writers may have had more in store for the viewers then what we could possibly know. I find it to be a huge error of Sci-Fi to end it's two most popular series' prematurely within two years of each other. Talk about a ratings dip.......

Do yourself a favour and skip this one. It's just a clip (recap) show and no ongoing story arc is impacted by skipping it.

Every show has them. Flashback episodes. 5 minutes into Inquisition, I went "oh god, not another trial episode" 30 seconds later, I said "oh god, not a flashback episode!" I skipped forward by 3 minutes 3 times, and saw old footage everywhere. I then turned off my TV.

I don't understand it. Nobody likes flashback episodes. We've seen this before. Either I remember the episode you're showing me, and the footage is pointless, or I don't remember, and it's equally pointless as your 30 second clip will mean nothing to me. If you're out of footage, make the season shorter. Do not put fans of your show through one of these garbage episodes.

It's a shame series resort to episodes like this, and I really hope we'll one day see a good show devoid of flashback episodes. 0.0001/10

Avoid this episode at all costs. It's boring and a complete waste of time.

I know it seems like every series has one of these episodes. Flashbacks and recaps of the series. I'm not sure if it's to save on the budget or maybe a last ditch effort to try and pick up some new fans to the show. I've never been much of a fan of these but with that said, there is one aspect that's worth mentioning that makes this episode worth watching. It's a Richard Woolsey moment. I loved Robert Picardo in Star Trek Voyager, but just didn't care much for him in Atlantis. Mainly because they had Weir, and she was awesome. Then replaced her with Samantha, and I lived her too. When they got ride of her I was tried if the change and even though I liked Robert as an actor I was fed up with the constant change. Well, the reason this episode is worth it is because it was at the end of this episode I started liking Richard Woolsey. So I wouldn't suggest skipping the episode for this very reason.

Administrators and lawyers are easy to hate, but this episode brilliantly walks the dog on how others might not see SGC's influence as a positive thing. The clips are limited, but sufficient to make the legal case for SGC's guilt.

Woolsey has been completely underplayed until this episode, and it's very satisfying to see him show courage, tact, and brilliance.

This is an episode worth revisiting solo, just to see Robert Picardo completely nail a compelling character performance.
