Let's face it. Our favorite SG team spends 36 hours a day skating frozen chaos, bare hairs from total disaster/annhilation. We close one threat, sit on the lid, and another one pops up. And another. And another. And while we're off dealing with those, lids pop up and out come the creepy crawlies. It's a bit like a galatic game of Whack-a-Mole, but with higher stakes.
This ep isn't like that. Jack gives in to his curiousity, sticks his nose where it doesn't belong, and starts doodling thingamabobs that look suspiciously like ZPMs during briefings. Next thing we know he's building souped-up camping lanterns and gallivanting to another galaxy. But you know what? It all turns out all right in the end. The Asgaard use a palm-sized vacuum cleaner, wipe it all out, and the Jack O'Neill we all know and love traipses back to Earth and declares, "You know that Meaning of Life stuff? I think we're gonna be all right." It's one of the few eps where we actually are assured that we can really win and not totally contort into something terrible in the process (i.e. 'Absolute Power'). It's a happy ending.
I like happy endings.
