'Cimmeria' is an area of Europe mentioned by Herodotus in his 'Histories'. It roughly equates with the Crimea. The Stargate writers are very good at picking up things from history and mythology and working them into the stories. I'm not familiar with the Conan stories, but maybe Robert Howard picked up on the same reference.

The thing this does show but not meaning to is it showed the Asgurd weakness. Such as the plant being attack but the Asgurd not doing anything. One more thing I would have like to see them go back to the plant to see how far they have growed. I mean the Asgrud were showing the people how to fixs it and I am petty sure they would have not been able to stop there because of the ageement between the Asgurd and systems lords.General Trimpe (The Monkey King)

I'm not sure how many people on Cimmeria would have seen the Asgard in their true form after SG-1 asked them for help. We know Gairwyn did, but she could have been asked to keep it a secret for the good of her people. They probably wouldn't be told about Thor's death. They don't need to know, so why tell them?C-D

The stargate marketing department should make lunchboxes with the Sagan design. They could include a ZPM shaped thermos.
My rating: 8/10

(I have one very large question)
Since the Hammer was destroyed why didn't we send science teams back to study the transportation technology. The SGC's mandate is to seek technology and gain information from different cultures. It seems like the SGC should have either had teams doing check-ups on Cimmeria and the Cimmerians or create a temporary research station in order to study the hammer and look for other signs of the Asgard.sigpic

It is pretty convinient that the vikins know english. lol! i get the reason for this of course.
Once again, Jack proved how loyal he is to his team and what a great leader he is.
I thought that the hammer only kills the goauld and not the host? So, Tealc would have been saved, right? So there really is no reason to destroy the hammer?

Without an infant Goa'uld inside Teal'c he would die, a Goa'uld's host could survive but not a Jaffa. (Just in case you don't know, a Jaffa carries an infant Goa'uld in a pouch which provides him with a perfect immune system.)sigpic

I think they were just starting story arcs at this point, mostly sticking to the stand-alone episodes up until now. So it makes sense that the plot doesn't take them back there for some time.
I wonder how many story arc plot lines were bandied about and eventually abandoned versus those that were actually followed up on in some manner or another. Some 'people' are visited and never seen or heard from again.

Probably one of my favourite episodes of season 1 so far. Just a really cool episode filled with mythology, technology, new information about the Goa'uld and hope of an ally to fight the Goa'uld - someone seeming to be more powerful then them.
Learning about the Unas and that they were the first hosts of the Goa'uld was a very interesting part of the episode, probably one of my favourites because he was strong - I'm surprised we don't see more Goa'ulds as Unas (later on in the series).
You really had to feel for Daniel he was very up in the episode about hope for saying his wife and then he had to destroy the very device that could help bring her back to him.
I like how Jack referred to Teal'c as "family".
Overall an awesome episode.

Oh a bit of confusion there, I know we see the Unas again but as far as I'm aware not an Unas Goa'uld. Sorry about that.
But like you said us humans are better and lets face it better looking especially since they want people to think they are a God and not a demon/monster. I just thought Unas Goa'uld idea was cool, aspecially with the added strength allowing the Goa'ulds to actually withstand in a fight without the use of technology.
