    Maybourne: Now you know one of a hundred names I go by. (He goes to the fridge and pulls out a disk)

    O'Neill: I see you're on that famous beer and mustard diet. How's that working out for you?

    Maybourne offers him a beer.

    No thanks.

    Maybourne: if anyone tries to boot the computer up without this disk the whole thing fries.


    is the disk thing possible?(ive looked on the 'net but got nothing)
    MSG Me If You Can Answer This:
    I have a 720p tv, and i have plugged my xbox into it and it gives me the option choose between 480p, 720p, 1080p, and 1080i display settings. I'm not really sure which one to choose on it, I know not to use the 480 setting, and obviously my tv only plays 720, but what if i set it to 1080? would the quality degrade? i cant rly notice a difference when i set it higher but maybe one who is more knowledgeable could tell me what im missing?

      This episode was pretty good. Shows how far Jack will go for a friend. And as for Kinsey, honestly, who wasn't surprised? He's just a scuzball whose attitude is absolutely crud, especially the way he flaunts the name of God.
      Yes, I really do look like (a younger) Daniel. Don't believe me? Look for yourself.

            Um, did you mean tptb decided to make Mayborne more likeable? 'Cause that makes way more sense to me. I mean, in later eps I occasionally pity Kinsey, but I never find him likeable ...

              I have no clue. However, the funny thing about that whole sequence is that the actor who plays Mayborne has no computer knowledge of any kind.

                very good episode. i like to know more about Scully's father love hammond.
                and why is it Mayborne was executed?

                is it RDA's dog??? how cute!

                  Maybourne was going to get the death penalty for treason, i.e. selling info to the Russians (as we saw in 'Watergate').

                  While political, earth-based eps will never be my ultimate favourites, I do find them quite enthralling, this ep included.

                  Kinsey, and especially Maybourne, are lovely villians that I love to hate. Maybourne is so wonderfully selfish and bent on self-preservation at any cost. And he's such a trickster with a real gleam in his bulging (disturbingly bulging, I would say) eyes.

                  I love how Jack 'got dirty' in this episode (great ep for Jack all around). It's a wonderful side of him (quite sexy, too). His black op experience really shows itself. At the same time I love that Jack is being so down and dirty out of true devotion and affection for Hammond (who is a total teddy-bear as far as I am concerned). The NID never fails to amaze me with the extent of their immorality. Kidnapping his grandchildren?

                  I was wondering about ranking -- Gen Bauer was a 'major general' -- how does that rank compared to Hammond? Anyone have a clue?

                    Major General = two star = same as Hammond when he commanded the SGC!

                      My thoughts, exactly.

                        Loved this episode, too. Liked seeing how far Jack would go to help a friend.

                          It was a great episode, the on screen duo of RDA and TM was priceless!! one thing that bothered me, if i was a high profile agent in a secret organisation notorious for it's "backhand deals" i wouldn't make my password the name of my dog or something easy to guess! For crying out loud, pick something random!

                          As for Kinsey's wife being an airhead, i think she tries to give that impression, but the way she looked up the stairs at jack and maybourne in that pondouring fashion......

                            Generally thought it was a good episode here, It was quite nice to see the SGC in a different perspective from a different command, and made me realise how well General Hammond does his job.

                            I was kind of surprised the remainder of the team kept going under the new command, having seen how they have reacted previously to things they don't agree with - still, I guess they didnt have much choice.

                            if i was a high profile agent in a secret organisation notorious for it's "backhand deals" i wouldn't make my password the name of my dog or something easy to guess
                            Yes - I thought about that too. Although there are still many people even today that use command names as passwords, even the really obvious things such as 'password' or 'unlock' or whatever - maybe Kinsey was just like one of those people.

                              This was great, but the ending seemed a little rushed.Always nice to have maybourne in an episode as he seems to get more interesting as it goes on.
                              It was good to see how SG1 got on when they were seperated from each other.
