OK, so Scottie is discovered STUCK inside a transporter beam, unenergized, just stuck in stasis after about 80 years, right? I have no idea if that makes sense, but if so, why doesn't anyone on the %$^^%*&#@$%$^&#   ship see the huge implications of that? They have just found a seemingly effective way of putting people into suspended animation. People could now travel far ahead in time, not only space, just by getting their atoms tucked away in a transporter mechanism for a few centuries. OK, maybe they will "degrade" and never come out of it. Tough beans. But didn't the writers totally ignore the potential of what they wrote in this episode? Of course it was never mentioned again in other episodes.

They used this plot device in order to be able to bring James Doohan (Scotty) into The Next Generation as believably as possible since the fans wanted to see characters from both shows interact, but I don't think it's something they think anyone will volunteer for since there is a danger that the person will not emerge intact.  You make a good point, though.  Never thought about it like that.

Wow.\n\nA few people here know what they're talking about.  A few.  Very few.\n\nMost of these responses are absolutely hilarious.  Most of them are from people trying to sound smart, in which case they do NOT.  Other cases are from kids with big imaginations, with "Anything is possible!"\n\nEinstein was brilliant, no question.  But all great scientists are capable of mistakes, and Einstein was no exception.\n\nHis theory on time travel was based on the speed of light and the "paradox" in which light travels at a fixed rate of speed.  This is true; light moves at 186,000 mps no matter what conditions are in place.\n\nHis theory's flaw is accounted to the fact that light has NO mass.  Light, in it's fixed movement, cannot be compared to any living organism (which is made up of mass) or any other object.  Any object made up of mass (for example, a human being, or any kind of lightspeed-capable rocket ship) does NOT have a fixed speed; therefore the velocity equation paradox that Einstein based his theory on does not apply to them.\n\nThis is all I want to say tonight.  Anyone who understands his theories will understand what I've said here, so think about my statements.  Let me know what you think (again, only those of you who understand what Einstein's theories were all about), as I'm no expert on relativity.  Like everyone else posting on a Yahoo answers forum about Albert Einstein and his theories on time travel, I'm just a fan.  Don't act like any of us are any more.\nEveryone else:  Please don't worry about it.\n\nAlthough I am skeptical by nature, like any smart person, it is NOT my goal to bash the idea of time travel.  After I spotted the flaw in Einstein's theory I presented it to many professionals in the field (or the few that I know, anyway) and have so far received very positive feedback.  I searched online as well and have discovered that others seem to have come up with the same idea, or similar.  Let me know what you think about the whole deal.\n\nBeing proven wrong only makes you smarter.

Why immediately blame aliens?  Why can't it be something much closer to home?\nHow could you possibly get something out that is NOT EVEN THERE? How do you know you have a probe?\nI mean, get real.  Do you really believe that aliens would cross thousands of light years in their spaceship, select your bedroom and your behind for inserting an anal probe?  And what do you believe alien would gain by doing that?  Do you really believe your behind is so important to advanced life forms from outer space that they must stuff something in it?\nThe best explanation is that you fell off you bed and that is what hurt your butt.  And coming up with an explanation that involves aliens means you must have hurt your head also.

According to the website listed below, this is a theory about the final episode:\n\nHi there. Apparently the last few scenes of the episode were written two ways, because at the time it was not determined that the show was cancelled. When it was, the ending showed that Sam had the ability to leap home all along, he only had to will it. What was keeping him from doing so was the realization that the one person he needed to help was Al (he had refused to tell Beth in an earlier episode that Al was alive in Vietnam, so she married somebody else). So, Sam wills himself to that scene and tells Beth. Beth doesn't remarry, and at the end of the show it is explained that Al and Beth had four children and stayed married for nearly forty years, and that Sam never returned home. \n\nIt was never determined why Sam didn't come home. There have been rumors that either the show would be revived or a movie would be made for closure, but that's not certain. \n\nhttp://experts.about.com/q/Quantum-Leap-1111/Quantum-Leap-final-episode.htm

That was an awesome eppy, one of my favorites. I really don't think any of us know what it means and i don't think we're supposed to, yet. I can't wait until they explain it.  Ya I don't think the others are a bunch of savage islanders, they are civilized and up to something. A great place to visit is the Lost Forum powered by Vbulletin., a lot of the people there have good theorys on what happened. It is also a great place to talk about the upcoming and past eppys. My screename there is soccerchick if you ever want to get a hold of me. And yes i agree it is the best show ever.

I agree with the above answer....but think about this for a second.....if time travel ever becomes possible...we would all travel back in time to clean up stuff and change what we think we need to.....and since no one has shown up to change anything recently.....it just shows that time travel will never happen....

TWO BRAND NEW EPISODES!! 2 PEOPLE WILL BE FIRED!!\n\nBIG FAN!\n\nPlease give me the best answer? Thanks!\n\nI have an NBC MovieWeb article in Sources as proof!\n\nPlease give me the best answer? Thanks!

I wish it would be back as a show again!  Contrary to previous reviewers, the cast has not already "moved on" nor are they looking at doing "movie episodes".  The current word is that they have been approved to do two direct-to-DVD movies, the first of which wraps up the Ori storyline.\n\nThe OFFICIAL MGM website actually has a Save Stargate campaign going, with multiple contests for rabid--er, I mean AVID fans to engage in and show the world we want our show back next year!  \n\n*coughs, steps off soap box*\n\nSeriously, though, I think it's great that the series' parent company isn't quite ready to give up on it yet.

B, that's it. The idea is to stall for time until a cure is found. \n\nOh, and it can still be transferred. Be careful kids.

Several points.\n\n1. Did you notice that there was smoke on the asteroid? How can you have wispy smoke where there is no atmosphere?\n\n2. The one bozo goes "space happy" and starts firing a gigantic weapon on the asteroid. Excuse me? Why would you bring artillery with you on this mission. What did they expect to find -- Martians? If time is of the essense, why would you even bother to unpack it and set it up? Does any of this make ANY sense at all???\n\n3. The specific gravity on an asteroid would make conventional movement as depicted in this film impossible. There's no way they could drive around and do the things they do in such low gravity.\n\n4. the concept of a single nuclear warhead splitting in two an asteroid the size of texas is simply beyond the pale of accepted physics. If that were possible, the repeated underground nuclear tests conducted by the government in Nevada years ago would have split California off from the continent decades ago.\n\n5. During the trip to the moon, the people are experiencing g-forces that would compress any living thing to protoplasm. It is physically impossible to survive the calculated g-forces the film puts them through. And yet -- two things-- ONE: they continue to be able to speak (which means they have complete control of their breathing -- an impossibility), and TWO: people who are totally out of shape like these wildcatters somehow survive it -- an ABSOLUTE impossibility). \n\nThere are probably tons of other mistakes in this turkey, but this is all I can recall off the top of my head. I've tried to blot this film from my memory, and this is the best I can do. Hope it's enough.

Perhaps the time traveling ( He did save the whales)\nhas left him in a worm hole with Dr. Who and the new Heros shows Hiro....  It will probably post soon.... stay tuned....

What you saw was a dream--or simpler, a hallucination! The beginning of the episode, you see House get shot, and then he wakes up in ICU (or so we think at that time..)! The man who shot him is beside him chained up in a bed, and the whole episode he's trying to figure out if he's hallucinating or not. What is stranger, is that his leg doesn't hurt, and he isn't in pain! Cutty then explains she tried a new experimental drug, and that there was a 50-50 chance he'd never hurt again! You think it's awesome and that it worked--until he starts forgetting things and seeing people that aren't there. The whole time, him and his team are trying to figure out what is wrong with the swollen tongue guy, when House finally tells them to start an operation. Well, House is convinced he's losing his mind (after the guy who shot him got into his head by talking all philosophically with him), and he charges into the operating room, saying "If I am not hallucinating, then this man will not die!" Well, we see House rip open the man's insides with the robot, and then you see his pulse drop to 0 on the monitor--and he dies. For about a minute you are left thinking that House is truly insane--until the swollen tongue guy's hand opens up, and a bullet falls from it. Suddenly, you see House being rushed on a gurney down the halls of the hospital--and you realize he had JUST been shot--and everything that had happened that day was a dream/hallucination, and he never killed the man. You see the gunshot wound, and there is TONS of blood escaping. Weakly, he tells his team to "Tell Cutty to use the medicine (the same stuff that was used in his hallucination to stop his leg from hurting) for my leg!" and then he closes his eyes and faints from blood lose--thus ending the episode on a cliffhanger!! Does he die?! Probably not--but will he awake having been given the medicine, and will his leg be ok in real life?! We shall see..! GREAT episode--and hope that helps some! =)

I don't really think so, although I'm not really speaking from a completely educated point of view here.  Asimov's Laws of Robotics, I'm not familiar with, but being a former Trekkie, I'd love to take a phaser blast at this one.  If you think about it, the prime directive was both a really really good idea and also kinda silly.  It prevented them from interfering in otherworldly affairs unless they had developed Warp capability.  In a way, it seems almost arrogant, like they're not good enough for us to get involved.  It's actually almost alleghorical.  Isn't it a widely accepted idea that the only prayer God will hear from a sinner is the sinner's prayer?  So basically God's "prime directive" prevents him from interfering with worldly affairs unless they've developed "warp drive" (a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.)  Not to mention Sci-Fi stands for Science Fiction, and Fiction is exactly what it is.

I like this one I heard about the watch. If you found a watch on a rock in the middle of a field, how do you know someone made it? If you are like most these days, you'd point to the manufacturing mark on the back (or inside the cover if it was a pocket watch). So, how do you find proof of God or the Mother Goddess? If she is a creator wouldn't she continue to create? What on earth continues to create through a means which they really don't fully control? Life of course. So, we ourselves are the watch. Now what about ourselves proves that there must be an intelligent creator? Maybe our own intelligence (or lack there of at this moment in history) and maybe own uncanny ability to 'hear' inner wisdom. This wisdom has led many to extraordinary things. So, I disagree with Carl (Goddess I never thought I'd ever do that) that claiming the existence of Goddess is extraordinary. I have seen her work miracles in countless lives and there is record (yes, verifiable record) of millions more. I think the real miracle of this age isn't in finding Goddess, but in realizing how common she really is. Just as common as every watch still built with a crystal movement. I'm sorry, I think it is a small miracle that a tiny quartz crystal would be willing to vibrate that regularly so that we can all keep time.

I'm upset at the fact that they thought in the year 2006 it  would be a good idea to give the white woman an afro to transform her into a black woman. WHAT THE HELL IS THAT ABOUT? Who do you see with an afro in 2006? It's not 1972. Was that supposed to make her more convincing? Please. I don't like the show it sucks.

Well, what people are saying with the whole ending thing is that, Eureka and Rentin stayed away from society for one year before coming back home to Bellforest. (My thoery is they landed after falling from space in some desolate place far from home and they had to WALK back and it took a year :D) \n\nIn the very last frame of the last episode you see a picture of Eureka, Renton, the children, and Axel Thurston together.\n\nI really have no idea if there is going to be a sequel or movie, but the cover of DVD 13, the last DVD, maybe hints it...?\n(you can see the cover of DVD Vol. 13 on the japanese site, PROJECT EUREKA)\n\nGood Luck to both of us on that!
