Enemy Within: Goauld inflitrates team member and messes with SGC - Line of Duty: Goauld infiltrates team member and messes with SGC.
Emancipation: Sam held prisoner, focus on gender, SG1 diplomatic theme, saves the day - Prisoners: Sam (and team) held prisoner, focus on gender, SGC diplomatic theme, saves the day.
Anyone else notice this?sigpic
Jack: Uhh, Daniel - for cryin' out loud!!, I said I would watch the Stanley Cup playoffs with you!

Apparrently 'nice old ladies' who are good at science can't be trusted...
Side note; that slop was disgusting looking! What was it?
Eh, never mind. I don't want to know. *shudders*"Y'know; Lose it. It means, go crazy. Nuts. Insane. Bonzo. No Longer in posession of one's faculties. Three fries short of a Happy Meal. WHACKO!!!!!"
The perfect couple!

Ever since I have seen this episode and others that came after, I've had this weird theory. Maybe Linea could have been a harcesis. But unlike Shifu, she didn't have Oma to take the corrupting knowledge away from her. The reasons I think this, she had a great deal of knowledge and a seemingly unexplained desire to commit evil acts. Even if she was conflicted about it. As Kera, she told Daniel that she loved him but another part of her wanted to see him dead. Maybe no one will agree with this, but it is just my take on the character.Last edited by tlw; 23 October 2012, 12:12 PM.

Unless she has previous form for genocide on other planets that we are not told about.sigpic

According to the former blind guy she was the Destroyer of Worlds and Linea herself said there was a plague that killed thousands and she was blamed, that's why the Taldor sent her to prison. She also referred to the "Island states under the Taldor" when talking to SG-1, with the prison planet presumably falling under it as well. Therefore, it's not unlikely to assume the "Island States" are (on) different planets and perhaps the plague was not confined to one planet either.Unmade Plans (WIP: 11/20):
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.

I wish they had explored her back story more. But then she wouldn't have been as mysterious. But the hand device she used looked like something similiar to Goa'uld tech.
I realize that the writers had not come up with the term harcesis yet when this episode was produced. But I watched the episodes out of order because I just happened to see it on the Sci-Fi channel one day after it had been on a few years. I think I may have seen Secrets, Maternal Instincts and Absolute Power before I ever saw Prisoners. And the idea just popped into my head that maybe her vast amount of knowledge and her dark side could have come from being a harcesis. One that escaped being hunted down and killed only to end up in Hadante.
Just speculation for fun though.Last edited by tlw; 09 November 2012, 04:34 PM.

She was just evil. Doesn't mean she was harsesis. It was forbidden for Goa'uld to have human offspring and I think Teal'c or Bra'tac would have heard about it if Linea had been one, as they are both over a hundred years old and thus would have been around at the time she was born. A harsesis would have all the knowledge of the Goa'uld so it doesn't make any sense for Linea to have been stuck in the prison and unaware of how the 'gate worked, since even Teal'c as a mere Jaffa knew how to manual dial one and Linea had cold fusion at her disposal. She also wouldn't have needed Sam to explain the 'gate network to her and show her everything on the computers at the SGC.
Oma Desala never removed the knowledge from Shifu's mind either; she merely taught him how to deny his conscious mind and the subconscious evil from the Goa'uld knowledge battle, as that would be the only way to win the battle [and remain unaffected].Unmade Plans (WIP: 11/20):
