Reviews for Stargate SG-1: Maybourne Unleashed |
---|
![]() ![]() 10/10 Everything came together nicely. |
![]() ![]() ![]() Hey, I know I am rather late to this party, but frankly I love this premise (then again I also love XSGCOM, the crossover with X-Com, where humanity also gets the goodies and is not afraid to use simple overwhelming firepower to achieve their ends). Tollan-Tech in some areas rivals Asgard and even Ancient tech - their phase-shift tech is more advanced than that of the ancients (especially since it is way smaller and seems to require less power - an armband instead of a blocky table like thing and that was personally made by Merlin to hide from the ascended Ancients, so we don't know if the Ancients over all truly used that tech) and their health-implants are also something we've not seen the Asgard or Ancients use. I also often asked myself why the SGC didn't have an intelligence component (so spread out agents accross the stars to observe the Goa'uld etc.)...in RL the alphabet soup would be all over the gate! They would observe, steal, coerce, assassinate etc. to get the upper hand out there and not only rely on the Tok'ra :( Sometimes the SGC also doesn't do its job sadly or they forget about tech they've acquired! Hell, we know they know how a staff-weapon works, but we sadly never see a human energy weapon! Sadly you didn't write a truly long SG-We-Nab-Your-Tech story...I sadly always seem to run into writer's block after a chapter or two, so I've never posted anything online so far...still, it's fun to read - again (as I've red it before!) |
![]() ![]() I've always liked the character of Harry Maybourne. I wish this had been the shows storyline as I might have continued watching it. |
![]() ![]() ![]() Impressive story, we need more morally ambiguous good guys. |
![]() ![]() ![]() I can't see Harry Maybourne helping ANYONE just because it was the right thing to do. He spent more time trying to discredit the SGC than to work with it. That being said, if regarding this as a spoof, it's pretty entertaining. By the way, Daniel is the one who figured out Seth was on Earth and tracked him down, start to finish. |
![]() ![]() ![]() I'm having rather ambivalent feelings about this; it sounds like we'd be better off with Maybourne running amok? |
![]() ![]() ![]() Garshaw is being especially hypocritical when you consider that it was scavenging Alterran technology that they didn't yet understand that uplifted the Goa'uld (and Tok'ra) from pre-stone age to interstellar space age. Were it me, I'd call Robot Jack 2 "Robot Jack Da Second" so you could shorten it to RJ-D2. D |
![]() ![]() ![]() Never watched SG-1 and had to keep the wiki open, but I love this kind of story. Great job. |
![]() ![]() ![]() Very good! I’m favoriting this! Did you even think about a sequel with SGA or SGU? |
![]() ![]() ![]() If only the people prosecuting the Secret Space Program were as honourable as Harry Maybourne. And that is a scary thought. But Disclosure won't happen because they win a battle. It will happen because we refuse to be lied to anymore... And no amount of SCREAMING PHYSICISTS, NAGGING POLITICIANS, ARROGANT BUREAUCRATS, ABJECTLY DISGUSTING BLUEBLOODS, is gonna stand in the way of Full Disclosure for the Human Race. |
![]() ![]() ![]() Just a thought; it'd be kinda cool to see a follow-up of this story, maybe of their improved tech going up against the wraith en masse, maybe even the Ori as well. |
![]() ![]() ![]() This must be the third time I’ve read this story and my only complaint is there’s not more. |
![]() ![]() ![]() This was a good read |
![]() ![]() ![]() Great job on this. |
![]() ![]() ![]() Great story, well written! One of the best alternate universe stories for Stargate SG-1 I've ever read, I hope you come up with a sequel one day! |
