I liked this episode. I thought he was saying something about OZ before he even translated the line.

What exactly were they "Tangent" to anyways?
Like a couple of previous posters, I found this one dreadfully boring when I first watched it. In fact, I think I even switched off halfway through. Skip ahead about a year and I woke up with a sudden, inexplicable urge to watch all my SG1 tapes. Hit this one and - just adored it. Go figure. I can't explain it. All I know is that it suddenly became one of my favourite episodes and I simply cannot understand what I found boring about it to begin with.
The script in particular is sharp and witty. I love watching the relationship between Teal'c and Jack, with its beautifully poignant moments and its basis in their friendship. The tension is skillfully racked up throughout the hour and it has some genuinely cute and laugh out loud moments. Far too many in fact for me to pick a favourite to quote here. Plus - it has Jacob. How could you not love an episode that includes Jacob? It also has some of my favourite music beats - such as the music they use in the teaser with the plane and the music they use as Teal'c and Jack are ringed up from the plane. Oh, and Jack and Teal'c arriving safely on the ship and then promptly falling over like frozen popsicles never fails to have me ROTFL. And I love the end scene with the SGC going crazy and Davis and Hammond. Lump in my throat as the end credits roll, every single time. And Davis! How could you not love an episode that has Davis?
So this one for me is cute, funny, poignant, dramatic, tense and steeped in character relationships. Not just Jack and Teal'c, but Sam and Daniel working to bring their friends safely home. Jacob and /Sam/Jack/Daniel, even Hammond and Davis interacting.
It's all good.
AlbionListen, we had General Ryan come on and do a little cameo for us, and he's a real live four star, one of the big guys. And I had to ask him point blank, because there's a certain irreverence that I bring to the character, and denseness, but while we were doing this scene, I just looked at him and said, "Do you have guys like me in...?" and he stopped me and said, "Yes, and worse, and you're doing a fine job, son."

Oh, I agree with Albion. Yessir.
Being a Jack-fan and a whump-fan this one caught me from the beginning. Also interested in space-flight, the solar system and science-geek, I knew exactly what they were trying to do with the 'nudge'. Everything I like. A team episode even though they were separated, a tear-jerker and a laugher.
Major Davis forever endeared himself to me by tearing up at one point. *sniffles*
Jacob, who didn't ask anything more after Daniel told him "Jack and Teal'c are in trouble."
*digs out the DVD* I've got to watch it again.
You're never too old to do something goofy.sigpicGrowing older is mandatory. Growing up is optional.

I have a question, and this is my first post.
Remember when they stopped accelerating and started cruising out of the solar system? after that, they were going a million miles an hour.
Did they suddenly stop after the rockets failed to slingshot them around Jupiter?
During the whole last scene, it seemed as if both vessels came to a stop.
The nudge, the transporter rings, was all in complete stillness! wouldn't popping the cockpit and floating up be impossible if both ships were travelling at a million miles an hour?
Your thoughts...

Also, Jacob could have stopped the X-302 with a tractor beam off-camera.

Here's a question for you...how can a fly move freely within your car when you are traveling a 60 MPH down the highway?

Wouldn't it be the same as opening the car window and putting the fly outside?Last edited by momo; 04 December 2005, 09:47 PM.
