ALERT!! CALLISTA IS ABOUT TO SPOUT OFF AGAIN!!

I see "Gemini" is getting up in the votes and, although I don't like the episode, I feel I must stick up for the title.

There are lots of things that are named Gemini, from the constellation to the space program, but I think two in particular stand out in this case.

First, the zodiac sign:

Gemini is the third sign of the Zodiac and associated with youth and versatility. Individuals born under this sign are thought to have a lively, communicative, witty, inquisitive, clever, courageous, and adaptable character but one which is also prone to superficiality, maliciousness, inconsistency, nervousness, and cunning.

These characteristics seem to relate perfectly to Sam (the one's in italics) and RepliCarter (the one's in bold....except for the nervousness).

Second, the mythological twins:

Of course Sam and RepliCarter appear to be identical like identical twins, but in mythology, Castor and Pollux (the Gemini twins) are not identical in that one of them is supposed to be mortal (like Sam) and the other is supposed to be divine or immortal (more like RepliCarter).
In addition:

As a further complication, the Zeus-as-swan myth (that's how the twins were conceived....that naughty Zeus was always up to stuff like that!)is sometimes associated with the goddess Nemesis. In this tradition, it was Nemesis who had the twins.

This is probably a coincidence, but the first episode that introduced the replicators was named "Nemesis".

Tres cool, don't you think?

[Missster.Freeman]

Nice analysis Callista. I just wonder if TPTB were clever enough to think about the definition of Gemini when they were writing the episode.

Great title, shame about the downright stupidity of the SGC. Credit to AT though, for her portrayal of RepliCarter.

Interesting.....consider taking it off my list next round. Maybe. The title is definitly better then the episode. Not a fan of Replicarter.
