Season 1 - 9 Best Episode Title Tournament

[DEM]

It's actually Deadman Switch, rather than Deadman's Switch (there's a sort of double pun).

I looked into this when I kept seeing that apostrophe-s. The UK title is Deadman's. Go figure.

I think I can help with a few of them:

Legacy: The devices are Machello's legacy.
Revelations: Revelations are things revealed and a lot was revealed in this episode, about the Asgard and in particular about Anubis (not least his face).
Fragile Balance: The term is usually applied to nature, which Loki is tampering with.
Resurrection: Something dead is brought back to life.
Covenant: A covenant is a deal or agreement.
Babylon: Not 100% sure, but Babylon is Rastafarian slang for talk or negotiation.

What got brought back to life in Resurrection? She was never dead, was she?

Good as, but you're right and that does make it a less than brilliant episode title.

And the DVD boxes for Region 2 may call it Deadman's Switch, but those DVD boxes are decidedly dodgy. As far as episode details go, they're almost as reliable as the Radio Times (which repeatedly refers to SG-1 as though it were a spaceship).

I think it refers to the Goaul'd that was brought back to life when they combined it's DNA with human one and made the girl.
I still think that they could have come with a better title, though.

This is proving really difficult... but completely worthy!!!
