Fire and Water (112)

[SF_and_Coffee]

If Nem's and Daniel's conversation was anything to go by, then Nem had been waiting to hear anything about Omarocca for over 4,000 years. He was questioning Daniel about the fate of Omarocca and Daniel referred to Babylon, to which Nem said "Yes". That's an exceptionally long period of waiting to find out about one's mate and still love that mate.

Maybe not so long if you've spent huge periods of it hibernating. That's kind of the impression I got from the show, that Nem had been in some type of hibernation or suspended animation during some of that time and may not even have been fully aware of how much time had passed when he encountered Daniel.

Perhaps it was our arrival which woke him.

[SF_and_Coffee]

That's kind of what I think. He may have had some type of automated sensor that tripped whenever anyone arrived via the Stargate and would wake him to check out the visitors and possibly interrogate them if they seemed likely to have useful information.

Did I miss something? When was it suggested Nem had been hibernating? I suppose that could be the case, but I don't recall anything being said about that.

I didn't say it was said; I said it would make sense and what we saw in the ep did imply that to my mind and to some other peoples' as well, based on the opinions of RL friends who also followed the show and watched the episode. What, we aren't allowed to speculate on things the series didn't explicitly spell out? May as well shut down GW altogether then and turn out the lights. Someone tell Darren he can find something else to do.

Awww... Jackson's first "death." So awesome. I thought this was an okay episode otherwise.

Well he has actually died twice before this. Once in the movie and again in The Nox. This is his first faux death.

I can't believe I forgot about the movie. I'm watching it on Netflix, so I saw The Nox after Fire and Water. And I guess this isn't even really his first faux death, unless we just count the fact that everyone thinks he's dead. After all, in COTG everyone on Earth except Jack thinks he's dead.

True, true! See even before the end of S1 Daniel dying is old news.

Yep after this ep, I never believed that he was dead ...again...

[Dimes]

Okay episode.
Feel kinda bad for the loner (

[Sam-n-Jack-in-<3]

Not the best, but a very good look at team relationships. The sense of loss that hits them, especially Sam and Jack, when they think Daniel is dead is obviously very strong.

Oh, yes...in The Many Deaths of Daniel Jackson, this is the third. Jeez...only half a season in and already Danny's 'died' three times!? Nothing but a foreshadowing of things to come...

Does anyone else think the fish-dude was a ripoff of Admiral Ackbar?

[garhkal]

His third?? How? He had one in the motion picture, and then this was his 2nd..

You're forgetting that all of SG-1 was killed in the Nox.

[garhkal]

AHhhh.. thanks. Forgot about that death.
