Just watched this episode, and although I enjoyed it so much remained unresolved that it bugged me.
1. Jack steps through the Stargate to take his 'son' back to an alien planet. And then the episode ends abruptly. We don't see how hard must it have been for a father to dump the image of his child on an alien world and then abandon him or watch him die again? I felt cheated out of what could have been a powerful scene.
2. O'Neill just leaves his wife in the hospital without any explanation as to why there are two versions of himself running around or why her dead son appears to be alive. Just saying 'It's not Charlie' isn't enough in my mind. Is she supposed to just think 'Oh well then'. The episode should have ended with O'Neill explaining what had happened, and that he was sorry for having ignored her etc...
3. The crystal on the base was asking for help, and then it was ignored for the rest of the episode. Did they shove it in a cupboard or something?
4. Why were the crystal creatures gathered near the gate and executed? I take it the Goa'uld were responsible, but why did they fear the crystals?
