nice ep, loved the cat and the concept of a society so advanced that their planet doesn't have any animals on it.
ETA: what I mean by that is that they loved the idea of progress so much that they forgot to pay attention to the detail of looking after their planet.
I hate to disappoint Daniel, and I think Jack should know better but I'm pretty sure that the US Military is the same as the British military in that when you go to work with and for them you sign a contract that submits you to military law. Which means that, yes, Daniel could be court martialled.
Anyhooo... I like the Tolan. It's great to see a race with superior knowledge and a VERY good reason not to want to share it. And it's always great to see the Nox. So sweet and lovely, and so very very powerful.

So why did they use an outdated one on the original planet???

I've no idea abous US or British army, but here in Russia even independent contractor will get court-martialled for breaking laws, regulations or contract terms. Ministry of Defense doesn't like to be messed withHomo sum et nihil humani a me alienum puto, sic quod feci quod potui et sic potui, faciant meliora potentes. (c)

Sam's life takes a turn in an unexpected direction when she's faced with an unplanned pregnancy. The decision to keep the baby and raise it on her own will alter her life forever. Relationships are put to the test, especially the one between her and Jack. She doesn't know what to expect from him and he surprises her at every turn.
On FFnet or AO3
My S/J fics can be found on FFnet and AO3. I also tweet and tumble about the ship and my writing/stories.

It's not that an independent contractor can't be criminally prosecuted, it's just that I'm pretty sure it would not be a court-martial. ETA: and part of the punishment would almost certainly be an inability to contract with the government.

Schrödinger -- I love that cat!
Random note: both McKay & Carter had a cat.
(lack of SGA PTW originality shows even in characters)
I'm partial to this episode. I don't really dislike it, but I don't really like it either. We're not as technological advanced as we like to believe, and when the opportunity arises we show just how primitive we can be. The young do not always do as they are told... big time. But we're learning so that's a good think.
Maybourne in a fit... he'll be back!
And the Nox... lovely people they are.Heightmeyer's Lemming -- still the coolest Lemming of the forum
