Inauguration (720)

[Matt G]

Well they say "History's written by the winners". Hayes is just wondering who'll be writing the history books concerning the Stargate, supporters or him and SG1 or supporters of Kinsey?

[L-JADE]

As a Clip-show goes, this is the best of all clip show in 8 season of SG-1.
IMHO it's a decent episode comparably to other episodes on any season. I like the interaction of Kinsey, Hayes & Woosley (and a bit of edgy-Hammond).
It shows that Hayes is not as 'soft' and indifferent as we would have thought of the previous President, makes him plausible for his action in Lost City.
And I really don't like Woosley in Heroes 2, but here he made a logical argument and respectable choice, and I kinda understand of why he'd done what he did in Heroes 2.
Kinsey is a weasel here as always, but Hammond shows some part of him that we seldom seen.

It was a good episode I liked the fact that someone who is friends with Hammond is now in charge

I especially liked the flashback to disclosure:

THOR: Hello. I am Thor, Supreme Commander of the Asgard fleet.

KINSEY: Commander Thor, my name is ...

THOR: Senator Kinsey. O'Neill suggested I send you to a distant planet for your actions here but I am reasonably certain his statement was in jest.

KINSEY: I'm sure it was, Commander ...

THOR: (Putting his boney finger up) *Supreme* Commander. It is the opinion of the Asgard High Council that Stargate Command should be left in the very capable hands of General Hammond and his team. And while our continued friendship with Earth is not contingent on that, it is preferred.

I was overjoyed when Woolsey switched sides hopefully we will see a lot more of him

[Chaka's_Mum]

Kinsey's fab. He never gives up, does he?

He may be an evil old fart, but I always admire perseverance.

[Qasim]

He didnt seem to understand that its a good idea to show respect to the ASGARD SUPREME COMMANDER

[Daniel's_twin]

I don't think he has genuine respect for anyone except for No. 1. That's Kinsey.

[zats]

Given what a mess he's made of himself (even the NID doesn't like him anymore, and that's about as low as you can go), I don't think he even respects himself. He just wants power.

[Metarock Sam]

I think I read somewhere that that set came from some movie or other.. Have to go try and remember where I saw it.

Looks very similar to the oval office set in X-Men 2.

Looks very similar to the oval office set in X-Men 2.

it is exactly the same set as the one in xmen 2 and in both the secret service where shooting at a target that wasnt really there

[Dark Falcon]

I actually liked this episode. It reminded me of the
movie Thirteen Days.

[Tal'Mak_Josh]

Why, on the 'british SG1 mag and dvd collection' at least, why in the subtitles is maybourne called hacker and not maybourne?

[Chaka's_Mum]

Given what a mess he's made of himself (even the NID doesn't like him anymore, and that's about as low as you can go), I don't think he even respects himself. He just wants power.

And wealth, I suspect. Lots and lots and lots of wealth. Just to see if money really can buy happiness.

It was sort of a sequel to 'Disclosure' and I loved that one. Yeah so like always - Great Ep!!!

[garhkal]

For a clips show I thought this episode was amazingly well done.

It had a great plot that drove the episode and the clips had a good reason for being shown.

It also helps to have an "all star" cast And I love that they brought in that diskette from "Chain Reaction"

I loved the 'new' presidents face when he was being first briefed... "Your pulling one on me arn't you.."

BTW what chain reaction diskette??

President Hayes said it best when he pointed out how no one could on earth could even begin to understand what they've been through. I wish Hammond or someone from SG-1 could have been there to defend themselves to the new President though....

Yes he did.. and i loved him telling 'kinsey' lets give them the benefit of the doubt.

At the end of Chain Reaction Oneil stuffs a copy of the "incriminating" evidence on kinsey from his computer in his pocket, and thats the last we see of it till this ep. In this ep Woolsey goes to Hammond who gives him a copy and woolsey gives it to Hayes.
