Thor's Hammer (109)

[Brother Freyr]

One thing I don't get why did Thor send a hologram on the planet instead of himself?

He did both, no? He communicated immediately via the hologram interface but also raced to the planet in his ship.

Not in Thor's Hammer, he didn't. At this point, Darkland hasn't met the Asgard (they don't actually appear until Fifth Race

Ah, oops, that 's right. Sorry, Darkland.

The hologam of Thor, himself, appears in Thor's Chariot (Season 2) (and talks to Sam, Daniel and Gairwyn), which comes before Fifth Race.

[Darkland]

Thanks for that guys.
And don't worry Brother Freyr , all is good

[Seaboe Muffinchucker]

Oops, got 'em backward (5th Race & Thor's Chariot). Sorry.

Probably my favorite episode of the season, has significant character and relationship development between the team and has no annoying characters or other faactors.

[Major_Clanger]

not a bad ep, got to love the Viking stuff, but I thought Jack made a questionable decision (destroying the hammer and thus leaving the planet open to the Goa'uld) in very quick time.

The first of many questionable decisions. And that's why I loved this series at the beginning.

I completely understood his decision and support it; as a matter of fact, I don't think it's questionable at all since the Goa'uld would never have to know about the device being destroyed. I still have no idea how they found it, since this planet was supposed to fall under the protected planets treaty between the Asgard and the Goa'uld, so why would a Goa'uld send a few of his Jaffa there every once in a while to see if the thing is still working, knowing any kind of attack would incur the wrath of the feared Asgard upon them?

[Major_Clanger]

it's questionable because it potentially exposes a planet to the Goa'uld in return for the life of one person. That's questionable in anyone's book.

The rationale (delivered only after the action) was that the Goa'uld would believe the Hammer to still be in action, and that the Summarians could, in any case, bury the gate and prevent their arrival. I agree with that assessment, as it happens.

But I do question the decision being made by offworlders without consulting the Summarians first.

[SF_and_Coffee]

Cimmeria is a really interesting case, isn't it? Our first glimpse of a human-populated planet whose ties are not to the Goa'uld but rather to the Asgard.

Take a look at many other eps.. we took action/made decisions a lot of times that affected whole planets worth of people without consulting the people there... part n parcel of human (earthlings) ego...

[Major_Clanger]

and every time I'll object to it - fact is that I'm watching from the beginning and this was the first time we saw something like that

[tlw]

Why couldn't Sam, Daniel, and Kendra take Jack and Teal'c back through the secret door they had come? Or did it lie beyond the hammer portal?

[Seaboe Muffinchucker]

They came in through the door that Jack peeked through just before Teal'c got caught in the hammer. So yes, it lay beyond the hammer portal.
