This is one of my favorite s2 episodes.

We get to see Sha're again, Apophis stops by, so does Heru'ur.

Love Jack throwing the knife at the end and Carter's line about 'You remembered that the sheild's deflective capabilities are directly proportional to the amount of kinetic energy.'
Jack: 'yeah... right'

We also get to see one of my favorite secondary characters introduced: Jacob.

Also get to see the SGC blamed for the death of a reporter.

bcmilco · #4 June 9th, 2004, 03:52 PM

Ah, but it was an "accident"

My guess is the Pentagon got wind of the reporter and decided to "take care" of him. I have nothing to back that up, that's just what I find the most believable espeically given Jack's reaction to Hammond's statement.

KorbenDirewolf · #5 June 9th, 2004, 07:44 PM

I'd lean more towards one of Maybourne's bunch... But its hard to tell from what's shown.

bcmilco · #6 June 12th, 2004, 04:49 PM

Yes, but what would Mayborne's motive to kill him be?

The Pentagon would want to keep their top secret project a secret.

KorbenDirewolf · #7 June 12th, 2004, 07:19 PM

Maybe not Maybourne specifically, but one of his associates. After all, things like that tend to be more their style. Of course, it could have actually have been an accident.

Wouldn't that just be so ironic

I must admit, I thought that the reporters death was a little odd. It was never really followed up on. It's almost as if it was put in as a feed for a later ep. which never got made. Perhaps it was felt to be too contraversial?

The first episode with Jacob Carter.

Selmak · #11 July 15th, 2004, 08:40 PM

I like the O'Niel with 1 "L" or 2 thing.

Selmak · #12 July 26th, 2004, 08:49 PM

if you didn't know it is a reference to the movie O'Niel.

I have to admit that this was one of the few times I've found the technobabble annoyingly contrived .
IMO anyway !

Oh yes indeed !

For me it was one of those "If only!" episodes.

If only they had gotten Sha're off of Abydos faster then they would have had Amonet in custody and they could have had her removed when they met the Tok'ra... ugh.

cool, didn't know that but I looked it up and it's true

the only thing that bugs me about this episode is that they suddenly forgot all about thor's new hammer...why the hell didn't they go there...plain old stupid if you ask me.

Wyrminarrd · #16 August 20th, 2004, 09:33 AM

Wasn´t thors hammer destroyed in the episode where it was first shown?

And about the death of the reporter, I´d have thought it was the NID that was behind that death.

KorbenDirewolf · #17 August 20th, 2004, 01:19 PM

Thor's Hammer was blown up in "Thor's Hammer", in "Thor's Chariot" Thor says they're going to build a new one, but not that its fixed now.

Personally, I think Hammond was behind the reporter's death. Or at least the SGC.

That would be completely out of character for Hammond, he´s always been portrait as the all around good guy and having him be behind the cold blood (though needed) murder of an american civilian would be wrong.

The ultimate answer would of course be that it was infact just an accident, that would so make the death scene be funny

Major Fischer · #20 August 20th, 2004, 01:33 PM

Maybe not Hammond personally, but someone within the air force part of the government. After all, Jack goes off to pump him for information, and thus 'marking' the reporter. That way someone knows to go run down the guy with the air force colonel.
