Politics (120)

[jelgate]

Have you ever been to Washington? A majority of politicians are corrupt like Kinsey.

I REALLY don't like clip shows, but FOR a clip show, this was well done and did have a believable and interesting story,

[gateship15]

i kind of like this episode even tho Kinsey makes this episode interesting he annoys me.

[leiasky]

Kinsey is a great, love to hate him baddie. He plays off RDA real well. They're great together in 'Smoke and Mirrors'.

[gateship15]

i guess he just rubs me the wrong way atho the team and Kinsey relationship even tho they don't like him is entertaining

[The6thRace]

I love how General Hammond says, 'Get out of here'. It sounds kind of forced, but it does make me laugh.

[gateship15]

i agree with u it did sound forced but i liked it any way

[Butlersgate]

Spoiler:

im sure nobody was upset when kinsey died

[gateship15]

maybe not the characters in stargate but i did i missed his meddling and coursing trouble for the stargate program and its staff

[The Stig]

a clip show after one season. an interesting move howver not as interesting as the introduction of kinsey. if i was jack i would have shot him.

[lordofseas]

I love the bake sale/yard sale moment.

[Ar3s]

Kinsey is the kind of man that everyone loves to hate and he proves why in this episode lol

[mrscopterdoc]

ehhhh a clip eppie.

I think that Kinsey presented a real adverse persepective to the Stargate. It is dangerous, and it costs money. Theres a thread out there that discusses what would happen if the stargate were real and I think that a lot of people would have a problem with it because they don't care what is out there all they are concerned with is the here and now and what will effect that status quo in the near future, and 7 billion dollar program that coule potentially wipe out the earth is one of those threats.

Yes, there were some legitimate issues concerning the Stargate. The SG-1 team is making decisions that will affect the entire Earth. How should they be held accountable for those decisions?

This could have been explored in a more thoughtful way, but they made Senator Kinsey so unlikeable till we get blinded to the issues and just want to cheer for our heros while dispising him.

Oh, and nice touch at the end of the episode having the evil senator invoke religion by claiming that the "one true God" will protect us from an attack by the Goa'uld. They just had to go there.

Kinsey also played Captain Jellico on Star Trek:The Next Generation. Not a bad guy just an idiot. I hate Kinsey. They should give him the black hole planet.

Hate the episode. Kinsey
