Well this episode thought me to HATE Kinsey, and to adore sg-1..even more. This was an episode which anticipated the future relations with the politics, awful of course. Don't want to talk only about the senator, but i am gonna do it, so let's see, what else could we tell about him...ooh i know: the ultimate insult would be to tell someone that he is a "Kinsey"...so congrats senator, you're a big fat Kinsey.
P.S.: Nice exchange of replies in the begginig betwen Jack and George H..(even when Hammond has said to O'Neill that that's how he looks when he is not smiling, good old Jack managed to got a smile over his face.)

The only purpose this episode serves is to set up the season finale. All that politicking was annoying to watch, especially as there was no suspense, as even first-time viewers in 1998 knew they wouldn't really bury the gate. By the time the episode aired, the show had already been greenlit for a second season.sigpic

Oh my goddess, I'm about ready to throw something at the screen.
Senator Kinsey is such an a$$. Like he hadn't already made up his mind about closing the stargate and shutting down the program way before he even set foot in the facility.
They really should have thrown him head first onto that planet Jack mentioned -- for which I have forgotten the designation so you won't find it in the quiz either.
Also, I'm not really a fan of clipshows, especially not when you're rewatching 2-3 episodes a week. It's fine when they are like 1 a week but not when you're watching them right after the other. Anyhoodle, it's an okay set-up to the season finale so that's about the only redeeming quality it has.
How would you rate SG-1's "Politics?"

I have a rule about clip shows. It's what behind the clips that I judge. I understand the necessary evil for clip shows to save money so I try to look at what is behind the clips for the episode. That is why I do like this episode. Ronny Cox is really good at playing antagonists. Really the episode is him fighting SG1 and Hammond and I have always thought the actor does a good job of making a facade of sympathetic.

In the Companion Book, Brad Wright says the same thing. He wrote the episode as an actual episode, which meant he had about 26 minutes of story -- Kinsey's hearing -- and the clips were added in to fit the rest.
Nevertheless, still not a fan.Heightmeyer's Lemming -- still the coolest Lemming of the forum
