There are a remarkable amount of episodes in SG-1's first season that I simply don't care too much about. Boy, I can't even understand why I ever managed to get through this season in one piece -- like, without skipping episodes like Brief Candle.
The only thing that gets me all -- ha, look at that -- is the 3.5 inch disk Janet hands Carter when she wants to show her what she found in the bloodwork they brought back. Man, did computer technology evolve since then.
*snort* The younger generation doesn't even know what those things are. They think it's a 3D-print of the save-icon.
It's not a bad episode. It's a standalone, and can easily be viewed without seeing any of the others, but if anyone showed me this, I don't think I'd be interested in more of this show. I don't know, maybe... or maybe not.
Daniel delivering a baby does remain funny. And everyone looking at Carter like she's a woman so she must know how this stuff works.
The aging of Jack O'Neill though -- that's some fabulous make-up work. Allow me to copy what the Illustrated Companion has to say about it:
The first three stages (50, 55 & 65) were achieved without prostethics, using only paint. For the final four stages (70, 80, 90 & 100) prostethic appliances were added, starting with the forehead.
The effects were done by supervisor at the time Jan Newman, and special effects artists Jayne Dancose and David DuPuis.
How would you rate SG-1's "Brief Candle?"
Excellent
Good
Fair
Poor
Terrible
I'm giving it a fair because even though I wasn't wow'd by it, it was still a fairly good episode as a whole.
