[Rhydderch Hael]

"Yeah. Got gas..." It's almost up there with, "Every bone— shattered. Organs—leaking vital fluids. Slight headache. Loss of appetite. Smithers, I'm going to die..." :D

When the Jacks are headlocked, can you tell which one was RDA and which one was Dan Shea?

[SeaBee]

I loved the return of Robo-team. I thought they had great potential when they first appeared. And the playground fight between Jacks was brilliant.

I liked the female Goa'uld who interrogated the robot Sam and T'ealc, and was a little disappointed when she went geographic. I felt she had great potential.

[bcmilco]

I was a little disapointed that they didn't go into some of the differences between the real SG-1 and the Robot team.

I'm still curious how they got the guns and supplies and the uniforms. ;)

[Madeleine]

This one was directed by MS. He said he had been hoping for a nice, simple one. I don't think he could have got a harder one!

Loved the head-lock scene. Loved the two Teal'cs avenging 'their' father.

[Roatbaum]

This was one of my favorites. When Jack and Jack started fighting was a hoot.It was pretty good stuff though, Teal'c got revenge for his father, sad that they had to expire. What happened to Harlan (that was his name wasn't it) he sure got the short end of the stick . Poor guy.

[omnian]

I was waiting for the robots to make another appearance and my wish was granted! I was kinda confused at the beginning cos they were using their old weaponry which made me think for a bit, lol.

It's a shame we didn't get to see what the robot SG-1 did to free the people of Juna (?) in the first place. At least, I think it was them.........wasn't it?

[Anubis]

I remember those crusty MP5 guns they had. They annoyed me for some reason, not sure why

P90's are much better

[Crazedwraith]

It real SG-1 that saved them the first time, Then Cronus comes in ships and subjects them again and then robot SG-1 arrive.

[stargate barbie]

a pretty dang good directing debut for MS.
never been a big fan of cronus, but i liked him here more than usual.
carters wig was a lot better than it was in point of view :p
RDA was hilarious.
MS got beheaded, which was.... interesting....
aw who am i kidding i love it when they do things like that to main characters without consequences. plus i thought it was a pretty good way to dispose of him for the duration of the episode.
chris judge teaming up with chris judge? nice.
plus, didn't they get a mothership out of this one? damn those tok'ra... and that star. (next ep)

[KorbenDirewolf]

Yeah.. Too bad they didn't just slap a USAF sticker on the mothership and call it something else.

[stargate barbie]

Yeah.. Too bad they didn't just slap a USAF sticker on the mothership and call it something else.
like the "U.S.S please don't take our ship this time you alien monkeys"?

[KorbenDirewolf]

Something like that.

[Madeleine]

Lol!

[Elwe Singollo]

I thought that little fight between Jack and Jack was halrious. Noo- poor robot Daniel! Cronas, evil Cronas..

[Jafana]

I love carter's line when Jack and Jack are fighting:

"Sirs!... As much as I'd like to see how this plays out, don't we have something more important to do"

[Anubis]

Great! lol I love it when that sort of thing happens

[Selmak]

And that was the end of the robots.

[Dahar Master Thor]

O'Neill's confrontation with robot O'Neill was the highlight for me. I especially loved the subtle Six Million Dollar Man reference: "bet-ter, stronger, faster." All the more funny because robot O'Neill is not just the ultimate "bionic" man, he's also an Air Force colonel, just like Steve Austin.

[Anubis]

I agree. A good episode full of funny moments

[AgentX]

It was a good episode but I didn't find it all that memorable. True, it did have a lot of funny moments, but nothing that made me earmark the episode for future viewings. I think I would have liked for the robot story line to end at Tin Man, having me always guess as to what they were up to. Instead of the finite end of Double Jeopardy.

[KorbenDirewolf]

Ahhh.. but they had to do this due to the (spoilers for season 5)
.

"death" of Jackson so that the synthetic Jackson wouldn't be a possiblity.

[AgentX]

I just watched the audio commentary from MS and that other guy - I believe he was some visual effects supervisor, anywho.. It was my first commentary to listen to and it has got me wanting to hear more. It was very interesting to hear all their thoughts on every little thing. I didn't realize how difficult this episode was to shoot.

[Selmak]

yeah... 2 of the same actor in a shot... I would assume it would be hard

[Selmak]

I love to see 2 Jacks together... very funny.

[Cpn. Chris(tine) Bowman]

I think they killed off the robots way too fast. It would have been interesting how the team relationship evolved with all of them being robots. It would have been interesting to see how the team dynamics and all would have changed had the real SG-1 been downloaded into robots...
Sort of like a AU but in the same universe. Not to mention I love and pity those guys. It cannot have been easy. And they couldn't stop being SG-1 either. That was interesting.

This episode was a lot of fun and a little sad too.

[Lord Zedd]

this is a really great episode where wde get to see Cronos again and the nutty alien Harlan :DI loved the scence where the 2 O'Neills start fighting and then Carter says :Colonels and then the O'Neills look up

[Tauri]

Love love loved this ep. So funny! Fav scene, is when the O'Neills are fightin'. I got one word to say to you....bet-ter.

[SmartFox]

I was a little disapointed that they didn't go into some of the differences between the real SG-1 and the Robot team.

I'm still curious how they got the guns and supplies and the uniforms. ;)

Probably made them. They are pretty resourceful.

Really great ep. Full of fuuny moments and Teal'c gets his revenge.

[SmartFox]

I forgot the best part. They get a Ha'tak. Very cool.

[SG-4MarineLeader]

It is a shame Cronus's wife/sister Rhea was not on that mothership as well. Always like it when a Goa'uld goes down.

[fair_nymph]

I liked the female Goa'uld who interrogated the robot Sam and T'ealc, and was a little disappointed when she went geographic. I felt she had great potential.
I agree, she was just the right type of evil, and a good actress. But she obviously wasn't a 'god', just a goa'uld underling of sorts.

I enjoyed this episode a fair deal. I'm impressed/pleased to hear that MS directed it. I love how involved the actors are with the production/direction of the show. I think it is part of what makes it such a great series.

Double Jack is always great (although I like double tech-talk Sam too) -- it's hilarious how they play off each other. As mentioned, Sam's 'Sirs!' was pretty funny too.

I don't like Cronus one bit (I think he is a flabby looking fabio type with really bad hair) and so I was glad to see him die. It was incredibly cool that SG1 was actually able to get control of the mothership!

[valaCB]

I love to see 2 Jacks together... very funny.
me too :)

[QuiGonJohn]

O'Neill's confrontation with robot O'Neill was the highlight for me. I especially loved the subtle Six Million Dollar Man reference: "bet-ter, stronger, faster." All the more funny because robot O'Neill is not just the ultimate "bionic" man, he's also an Air Force colonel, just like Steve Austin.

Also, the "better" was how Harlan kept saying it in TIN MAN. I was wondering why the real SG-1 wasn't more worried about what the robot team had been doing around the galaxy, in their name. It would seem that would hae been another reason to go get the robot team, maybe somehow force the gate on Harlan's planet to stop working, after they returned them there. of course, since they were all damaged not sure if any of them returned to Harlan's planet now.

[Iris]

Wish I could've seen much more of their interactions with each other!:
Tin O'Neill: We're not finished pal!
O'Neill: I so OWN you!
And it reminds me of something O'Neill said in Point Of View in..season 2 sometime (alternate reality ep) "Imagine the combined IQ of 2 Carters!" They would've been so interesting to watch..!

[Perriman33]

It sounds a bit nerdy but the first time I watched this one and they came out of the stargate I thought what happened to the P90's. I thought they'd put the episode order back to front. DOH! :o
This was cool on so many levels ,the two teams meeting and helping each otherand the locals being a bit confused! :D
I just thought the whole idea was great and very funny! :D

[Stricken]

Nice episode, good directing by Shanks!!!! anyway another one biteds the dust, when will the killing end???

[walter_MacChevron]

Cool eppy........but why hasn't Carter ever killed a system lord (not talking about YOU know who in season eight because that really wasn't her)

[Metarock Sam]

Shame that they had to get rid of the robots but like they say all good things must eventually come to an end.

[Snapdragon]

I really enjoyed this episode, was better second time round when you knew what was what! Best bit has got to be the two O'Neills fighting, so true to character and funny! Poor Daniel-bot! That was cool though! Great directing by Michael, loved his dvd commentary, very interesting to hear how he coped with it and what he liked and didn't like about it.:)

[timdalton007]

A fun episode! I saw this for the first time yesterday on Sci Fi and I loved it? It shows that an episode can be both humorus and serious at the same time! The performances were good and the looks on everyones faces when the robot Daniel's head got blown off is classic!

timdalton007

[skeezix]

This ep was entertaining just for the fact that it had the kickass return of Harlan. Comtraya! How can anyone not like that guy? I love it when old plotlines get tied up and this episode is a prime example. Daniel's head getting lopped clean off was quite cool. Robo Jack shooting with the two pistols was quite badass as well.

[Dark Falcon]

Seeing Coronus get his a-- kicked by Teal'c
was a deeply satisfying moment!

Man, the outfits that the characters wear keep getting better and
better! Especially the outfit that the female Goa'uld wore.:)

Robot Carter had her best facial expression!! Man, she rocked!!:cool:

[Eye of Anubis]

For all you old timers out there, lol, did any of you see the movie called "dragonslayer" from the 80s? The main female in that movie was the wife of the leader of those low tech people that shot oneal at the begining. She knew oneal was hiding in the dark, remember?

[Hotep Ka Heru'ur]

I just started watching the episode, and I've noticed that the one Jaffa is speaking with a Goa'ulded voice... for no appearant reason. Seems weird to me that 4 years into the show they would have made a mistake like that. :tealcanime49:

[jckfan55]

Actually, they mentioned on the commentary that the actor just naturally had that deep a voice.

[captain jake]

Definately a memorable episode, but in all of the production notes people are calling it "A huge episode". For example:


At the September 2000 GATECON convention in Vancouver, Christopher Judge ("Teal'c") stated that Shanks was handling his directorial debut very well -- and that "Double Jeopardy" would be the biggest episode since the pilot movie, "Children of the Gods."


SG-1 writer/producer Joseph Mallozzi had the following to say about this episode: "[Michael Shanks'] directorial debut went well -- although, quite frankly, I'm sure it was somewhat of a hellish experience for him. The episode was HUUUGE -- but we watched the almost finished cut last week and it looks terrific."

Was it just me or did this episode not quite live up to what people said about it. I suppose the different hairstyles/wardrobes and side by side effects would be a lot of work. However, on screen it came out as just another run of the mill Episode except for the Mother Ship of course.

[L E E]

2 Jacks. How can I not like this episode? Most here agree that the 2 quarelling Jacks are pretty hilarious. :lol:

I am sad that they killed off the robots. I expected more episode mileage from them. :(

The way robot Daniel died was both very sad and shocking. I really did not expect him to get beheaded. :jack_new_anime05:

[HelloVelo]

Jack on Jack violence. Heh.

That Pyramid on the ground was the one from the original movie? was it not a ship in this episode?

[Butlersgate]

it was a ship but i don't know why it didn't show it take off or be used or anything.

great episode and how dare they behead daniel!

[shinysign]

This was a good fun shootemup episode. I agree with some of the other posters though that putting the robots in such a 'light' episode didn't do justice to them.

They were awesome, and so deeply thought out in their first episode. Now they just 'happen' to be in 4 situations that kill each of them, what are the chances of the entire robot team dying and the entire non robot team being ok? Also the robots are designed to be stronger, smarter, and faster than their human counterparts.

I would have prefered a story exploring what they've been doing to keep themselves busy on the planet, what they've learned, how they've changed, and save the shoot em up for shallower characters. But anways, good episode, just wish they hadn't all died, and I would have liked to know more about their 'alternate' lives.

Like I said in the post on the first robot episode, SG-1 would have been much better off having them act as a sort of off planet version of their team, set up a lab in the factory and have them be the brains of the bunch, though now with powerpacks they can move - keep them out of battle and have them research alien technology - they practically have computers installed in their brains, in addition to an 11,000 year old alien that was perfectly willing to help and had nothing better to do. Fun episode, but it is a shame to waste so much potential on a single quick 4 death episode.

[Jumper_One]

Finally, sometime last week, some website put together a list of their favorite episode titles. Alas, Stargate failed to make the list. To rectify that oversight, I’ve decided to put together a list of My Top 10 Favorite Stargate Titles:

**snip**

10) Double Jeopardy: The audience sits there wondering “Why the hell is this episode called Double Jeopardy?” until the end of the first act when Daniel Jackson gets decapitated, at which point they suddenly realize they’ve been following the android versions of our heroes (last scene in Tin Man). Double the SG-1 = Double the jeopardy.

[The Stig]

It is a shame Carter stopped the O'Neill fight. I would have liked to have seen who the winner was.

[Alan Wake]

I never understood why they couldn't repair the robots... besides daniels head being blown off and damaged, could they not fix the other ones?

Why couldn't harlm also make more then one copy of himself? he needed people to maintain his world... seems like more copies of himself would work.

[rushy]

I so wanted that the Robot-team to live and appear at season 10

[gateship15]

i love this episode the robots and the originals working as a team.

[AresLover452]

I loved it when Robo Jack and actual Jack were gonna beat each other up... lol!! That was great!!

[gateship15]

i agree it was very funny they are both angry at eachother

[AresLover452]

and yet all the robots bought it in the end... that makes me sad.

[gateship15]

i know i didn't want to see them die. in many ways they proved that they as much carter,jack, teal'c and Daniel as the origanals

[AresLover452]

i know, they were so great. BUt i could see them wanting to go out on missions... Harlan would drive me nuts... lol!!

[gateship15]

me to and if i hade the mind of a sg1 member being shut up would dive me nuts. definitely jack would go nuts

[AresLover452]

Jack would... lol!!

[gateship15]

yep he couldn't even stand going thro the same day more then once

[AresLover452]

yeah, and Harlen was irritating... lol!!

[gateship15]

i agree

[AresLover452]

i agree

I wonder how the universe survived so long with Two Jack's running around? LOL!!

[gateship15]

lol true two jacks is one jack to much

[AresLover452]

lol true two jacks is one jack to much

definitely, though still funny to watch... I bet sam was counting the possibilities with Two Jacks!!

[gateship15]

lol i bet she would because i would be to.

[mrscopterdoc]

2 Jacks :D

internal radios...really?

a little gas :lol:

This was such a great eppie, I loved that they brought the robots back, but so sad also.

[rushy]

internal radios...really?

I don't believe that. He was just kidding.

[Martina Magnus]

2 Jacks in one ep :D Too much on me :D

[maneth]

Loved the two Jacks! And yeah, Harlan would be enough to drive anyone off planet given the chance.

[Brother Freyr]

For all of us who complain about the lack of follow-up stories, here's a great one. Teal'c avenges his father. Yet another system lord is dead. Earth has a honkin' new space ship (for now). But poor Harlan has lost his androids.

Next up: Teal'c shows he's got plenty of revenergy left when Tanith escapes the Tok'ra. And "the goa'uld who will not stay dead" returns.

[Dave2]

I presume the android Teal'c had an android symbiote as well???
I see the summary pages from this website ask similar questions to those I have been asking, so I guess I am in good company!

[Dave2]

i know i didn't want to see them die. in many ways they proved that they as much carter,jack, teal'c and Daniel as the origanals
Technically speaking they didn't die. Their machinery stopped working. Death is in an organic being......

http://www.gateworld.net/sg1/s4/421.shtml

No that is why Tealc didn't work right the first time is because Harlim couldn't choose between the Jaffa and symbiote mind

[Dave2]

Is that the reason why the ship lands down with all those Jaffa onto the pyramid in last minute of the episode?? Where do we see a followup of Teal'c leading a Jaffa army of 1000 former servants of Cronus from that ship?

Since we are told that the android SG1 couldn't stay away from their power source for more than 72 hours, how were they ever able to guarantee that they wouldn't get stuck on one of their own missions for longer than 72 hours?

(I know, I know.......that's one of the questions I shouldn't be asking......)

For that matter, how is it we never heard of this rogue SG1 team fighting goa'ulds until our SG1 got over to the planet Juna?

Well, if you know you're going to 'die' if you stay away too long I'm sure you'll keep a keen eye on the time. They were bored to death by staying at Altair and wanted to do what they were good at; explore the galaxy. To be able to do that they had to compromise and make sure they didn't stay away too long.

As for no one ever hearing about this rogue team, I imagine their paths have never crossed before. The galaxy is a big place and with their improved intellect, I'm sure the androids could figure out a way to stay away from the real SG-1 (I imagine they could replicate the list of planets from the SGC and perhaps start at the bottom). They also wouldn't hear stories from allies of an ally about this rogue team, because those people would simply assume the androids are the real SG-1.

[Dave2]

Bored to death, maybe, but able to control their offworld environment? Say imprisoned by a goa'uld for a week?
Hmmm.......Bye, bye androids!

(I know, I know.......that's one of the questions I shouldn't be asking......)

It's not that you shouldn't be asking; it's that you should be able to accept that there isn't a single, definitive answer. That said, they couldn't ever guarantee they wouldn't get stuck and die. Given the way JackMarkII acted at the end of the episode where they were created--I don't think he'd have a problem with that.

[Dave2]

Since the SGI got Cronus's ship, what is the capability of speed of travel of such ships among planets and solar systems? Where was SGC supposed to park such a ship originally, and were all the Jaffa eliminated?

[Dave2]

Where did the Android SG1 team learn a disappearing act, i.e. the way the android O'Neil did it twice? And if they could do it, why couldn't they disappear when placed in danger, i.e. the android Daniel?
Was there any special reason that Michael Shanks didn't want to play the real Daniel in this episode?

Michael Shanks was the director for this one and his screen time was reduced as he concentrated on this, imho, particuarly tough episode to direct (with all the "double SG-1" stuff in it) ...:daniel:



Deed xx

[Matt G]

Tuesday night and another ep of SG1.

1. Rewatching, I feel stupid for not having clocked that we weren't dealing with the original SG1 first time around.

2. As it was, once Daniel's head rolls off Mum and I looked at each other and said "Right". Really was not expecting to see Robo-SG1 again.

3. Cronos really didn't have a clue what had hit him! :)

4. Interaction between everyone with the doubles was a bit nuts - pity the doubles all got scratched.

Solid ep.

[bookwormjules]

Since the SGI got Cronus's ship, what is the capability of speed of travel of such ships among planets and solar systems? Where was SGC supposed to park such a ship originally, and were all the Jaffa eliminated?

Not sure how fast it can travel, 25, 000 - 30000 times the speed of light? I know its slower than the hyper drives the asgard use. As for what the SGC does with the ship I think, although memory is foggy, they give it to the Tok'ra. I seem to remember Jack taunting them about it

This episode was an average one for me. I liked it, but it's not one of my favourites - I would have been happy to not have seen the andriod/robot SG1 again. I never realized Michael Shanks directed the episode until now though.

[hedwig]

Since the SGI got Cronus's ship, what is the capability of speed of travel of such ships among planets and solar systems? Where was SGC supposed to park such a ship originally, and were all the Jaffa eliminated?

Watch "Exodus" and "Enemies" to find out what they did with Cronus' ship. Earth authorities loaned it to the Tok'ra to transport them to a new base of operations. This is explained more in the episode(s).

I'm quite sure the ship would have been parked in orbit above earth had they gotten it back to earth. It's far too big to let it land somewhere on earth; it would no doubt be spotted by somebody who wasn't authorized to know this sort of information.

And I mean no offense, but why don't you watch all the episodes before asking all these questions? Many of your questions are answered in later episodes. If you find out the answers now, it will spoil (a bit) the later episodes

They were loaning it to the Tok'ra in exchange for them teaching the Tauri how to operate it. Then it got blown up

Ah! So I was close! Been a while since I saw these episodes.

[mathpiglet]

I listened to the commentary for the first time and was pleased to hear Michael Shanks' voice!

[NowIWillDestroyAbydos]

I really liked this episode. Loved the Jack-Jack moment, especially when they're face to face for the first time (after they get on the planet).

So Cronus is dead, killed by the badasses known as SG-1.

The Commentary:

The pyramid was based on the one from the original movie.
Shanks reminded us not to let RDA touch any prop because he'll play with it, like the cup he drank from.
The wrestling scene (between the Jacks) was RDA's idea.
Everyone wanted Daniel's head near his body during the Carter/Teal'c torture scene, but Shanks said no (he insisted on it).


Tomorrow, the finale of Season 4, the end of the section of our journey through Stargate SG-1's run.

[Krisz]

One of my favourite episodes of Season 4. I just love 'double' stuff, when it turns up on Sci Fi. I particularly like the way Jack deals with 'himself'. Now he can experience for himself what others have to deal with! LOL!

The bit at the end as the robot Jack shuts down is sad, not so different after all. I like to think that Harlan repaired them, and made a new Daniel, having kept the original upload of him on his computer for just this sort of event. The 'other' SG-1 were back doing what they like doing and helped kick Ori and Lucian Alliance backsides.

[Lieutenant Sparrow]

A liked this ep. My first thought was that maybe the robot versions had already been there. Nope other way around.

Good to see Teal'c get his revenge on Cronus. Even if it was his robot twin that did the killing.

Yay free Ha'tak. Pity it doesn't last long.

[Jae'a]

Everyone wanted Daniel's head near his body during the Carter/Teal'c torture scene, but Shanks said no (he insisted on it).
I agree with Michael. I mean, it would be a bit sick, wouldn't it? It was bad enough seeing his head being blown off.. >.<;
I thought you weren't doing the commentaries anymore...? (Glad you still are, though :) )

I agree with Michael. I mean, it would be a bit sick, wouldn't it? It was bad enough seeing his head being blown off.. >.<;
I thought you weren't doing the commentaries anymore...? (Glad you still are, though :) )

Its a robot. If it was a human I might agree but not for a something filled with robots

So these robots aren't real to you and don't deserve to be treated/regarded the same as a human, yet you make a fuss about Jack not considering stored/preserved biological samples as a living race in Scorched Earth? :rolleyes:

Of course not but a robot head is not as disgusting a human head being removed from the body. Look at how many times in Star Trek they removed robot heads

Well, it's just that it he looks exactly like Daniel, and would look as if Daniel's head has been chopped off, which would be at least a little disconcerting, right? I mean, in Star Trek, I don't think there have been any robot copies of living humans, although, I may be wrong and have forgotten something...
But in this case, it was a perfect copy (at least on the outside) of one of the main characters, and my favourite character no less. I don't know about anyone else, but it would make me feel a little uneasy seeing his (or any of the other three's) decapitated head next to his body... but maybe that's just me...

I like how we have this 4 epiosd arc in S4 to demostrate our latest foil with Apophis. An arc that starts with Double Jeopardy. Multiple rewatches has shown me how good they were at making the robot SG1 look like the real one. I really like the details of the subtle differences between the two. Its a fun action show to demostrate them killing Cronus and stealing a hatak. Not really surprising that the robot duplicates all died though. Like I said nothing ground breaking but it was still enjoyable to watch some action and kill off another system Lord.

Always confusing and I always think the robots gonna kill the humans to become the main character... :P

1. All the robots dying was really convenient.
2. Robo-O'Neill has black hair??
3. Did Harlan make new copies?

Harlan and Urgo: who's more annoying? My vote goes to Urgo. :jack_new_anime06:

Yes, after a few dissapointing ep's (IMO) SG-1 is back on track.

And as a bonus, Daniel switched the stupid looking hat, with the bandana - great
