Originally posted by AlbionThere is something that always makes me wince though and that's the awkward, clumsy dialogue when Daniel fills Sam in on Jack's past and Charlie's death. It makes Sam look callous and uncaring. A kind of "Oh dear, how sad. Oh well, never mind, look a cool crystal!". And later, the same lack in the writing gives the same impression when she reports to Jack that she has a theory the alien might have gone to find Sara. I know that the fact that it's radioactive is important, but Sam adds in this fact like it's some kind of casual afterthought, with no real sense that she has any inkling this could be potentially dangerous for Sara and little sense of urgency. It's a weird little moment of delivery that always strikes a sour note for me.
And then there's that poor crystal! It tells them its energy is fading and that if it doesn't get back to its planet it will die - So, do they react immediately with concern and dash it back to the gate and home so it will live? Nope. They all collectively turn their backs on it, start discussing the revelations it's given them, and leave it there! Hey, folks, hello, dying alien life form sitting on the desk here!
But these little quibbles aside, this is one of the highlights of the season for me. A great episode.

I loved that when the real O'neill came back throught the stargate, the speakers were saying "unscheduled offworld activation - this is not a drill...unscheduled offworld activation - this is not a drill" Lol, i can't believe they have to say that! What do they say when it is a drill?

I really like this ep!
Its great!!
Very funny in bits (especially Teal'c, and real Jack coming back through!), and its great to see Jack how he used to be, with a family. I think its so cute when he meets Sara in the hospital!!Sig by SamJackShipLover, thank you!!
"The Titanic lies in 13,000 feet of water on a gently sloping alpinelike countryside overlooking a small canyon below. Its bow faces north and the ship sits upright on the bottom. There is no light at this great depth and little life can be found. It is a quiet and peaceful and fitting place for the remains of this greatest of sea tradgedies to rest. May it forever remain that way and may God bless these found souls." - Robert D. Ballard, 1985.

You know, I was watching this episode yesterday and I couldn't help but wonder, how did Jack open the iris BEFORE the wormhole materialized? I mean, in all the other times before, you had to enter iris codes after the wormhole engaged because radio waves travel through the wormhole? But this time Hammond says, "Why isn't the iris closed?" Walter says "someone has our IDC codes, sir." And the wormhole had not even been engaged yet? Does that work? If it works, then its reasonable to say that you could send a message through the stargate without engaging a wormhole completely just by dialing the address? No no no that's not right. Someone help me figure this out.Last edited by illuminarok; 13 March 2005, 04:37 PM.Sorry Ori, I was born okay the first time.

Saw this for the first time Monday night and I loved it! One of my favorite episodes of the series and one of the best of season 1 as far as I am aware, this is probably one of the most underrated episodes of thes series. RDA really outdid himself in this episode with his wonderful performance as the alternate O'Neill and the scenes with Sarah were...touching to say the least. The music was great with the sad piano music playing troughout the episode. The efects were pretty good and I thought the end of the episiode was especially good when the "unity" became Charlie O'Neill and him and O'Neill went trough the Stargate.
