First time I've seen Paradise Lost, and was impressed with Oneill and Maybourne together. They're always great, and although the reasons for Maybourne escaping seemed confusing, he and Oneill worked well together. I'm sure this ep was a play of their Ids going at each other. Also, great use of scenery and RDA's acting. The rest of the cast had good moments. Sam's rant and mourning very effective.
Good to see a lot done with so little.
Years after this was written, but wouldn't it have been fun if Maybourne became a To'kra, rallied them in taking on the Go'uld and whipping them using cunning and weapons Maybourne pulled together. He would have been a perfect schemer to get the To'kra into an active resistance.
Alas, the story arc that never was.

I'm the one Fair on the episode page of Paradise Lost, but I see that I didn't think much of it during a previous watch either so at least I'm consistent.
It's 35 minutes of O'Neill and Maybourne of hanging out together, getting high and paranoid, and Jack finally gets to shoot Harry -- twice.
Beyond that, it's the second time we hear of the Furlings, which Jack might think are cute and fuzzy but are probably nothing like that. However, we'll never know as they are never actually touched upon again, except for that ridiculous 200 mention.
It's a forgettable episode really but ah well...
The only thing I did actually like was the shift in color-scheme when O'Neill starts loosing his mind after eating the salad-like plant. That was a pretty neat trick to do. It goes from vibrant day-like colors to a sort of greyish color-scheme. Pretty neat.
How would you rate SG-1's "Paradise Lost?"
Excellent
Good
Fair
Poor
Terrible

But at least, you're still consistent.
Don't worry, though, I'm sticking to this weekly schedule again so you'll be back in top jigsaw form in no time.Heightmeyer's Lemming -- still the coolest Lemming of the forum

I like this episode because Jack figures it out on his own, without Carter or Daniel telling him where to look. It's a quiet, mostly stand alone episode (I realize I'm in the minority in preferring those).

I enjoyed this episode because it does prove what Carter said, Jack is much smarter than he likes others to believe. Maybourne and Jack is an awesome duo also.Spoiler:I don’t want to be human. I want to see gamma rays, I want to hear X-rays, and I want to smell dark matter. Do you see the absurdity of what I am? I can’t even express these things properly, because I have to—I have to conceptualize complex ideas in this stupid, limiting spoken language, but I know I want to reach out with something other than these prehensile paws, and feel the solar wind of a supernova flowing over me. I’m a machine, and I can know much more.

I'm with FH on this one. This episode bores me. I don't really care for Maybourne and Jack on the alien planet. It's dull and I feel like nothing significant happens. The Goa:uld and plant seems like it was added as an afterthought with not much planning. SG1 trying to find Jack has been done. I'm giving it a poor. The Furlings save it from a terrible.
I only got an 7/15 on the quiz since their was over a month break between episodes. I'll have to wait for my Internet to be fixed before I can do the puzzle.Originally posted by aretood2Jelgate is right
