One of the better S8 episodes. Like the good old days.
Jack gets to go thru the gate and act all Jack-like. "God I miss going off-world". And I miss you going off-world. *sniff*
Loved Maybourne greeting Jack with music when he steps thru the gate..... LOL!
"You made General"
"You made King"
"It's not a contest, Jack"
RDA looked like he was having a great time acting with Tom McBeath.
Everyone was actually in character and had some good lines....
Daniel names a fruit ("guango"!) and gets to translate stuff and say "ffffocus" to Jack
Sam is a competent leader and gets to do all her techy stuff.
Teal'c found the PJ and killed the first prime of Ares. Your usual brave warrior stuff.
Jack does his Beckett imitation and manages to use his Ancient gene to save the day. Er...yeah, guess he hit something vital.
So, a good time was had by all! I haven't seen the Atlantis episode this ties into but I'm impressed that they managed to drop in something that's fun for the audience to pick up on but isn't necessary to understand the episode.
And now we have our time-traveling puddle jumper. Yowza.
I had a few nits.
Hard to believe Maybourne could pick up and translate Ancient that well....but I went with it. Maybe he has a latent talent for linguistics.
I'm sure Wayne Brady had the time of his life and he was fine for the most part. But a couple of times it seemed obvious that Ares stopped off in L.A. and picked up his first prime. I kept waiting for him to ask Teal'c how the Lakers were doing.Life is hard...and it's harder if you're stupid

"You are a man of your word"
I thought this was another quality episode. A tad cheesy with the medieval aspect, but none the less.
2 shots from a Puddle Jumper took care of a Weak Ha'tak. This fact defnitely emphasizes the strength of the Wraith as their darts could take down a puddlejumper and it took sufficient damage to kill a dart.
Love to see Dart vs. Glider. Dart would rape. *Dart appears above Glider**Does Teleportation Beam Thing* *Glider slowly descends and explodes w/o a pilot*
If a Dart could destroy a Puddle Jumper, then it could easily destroy a Glider with minimum shots b/c not even shots from the Ha'tak slowed the PJ down.
Sorry for off topicness.

(Rising, Before I Sleep Spoilers)Spoiler:A single GJOD from a puddle jumper could destroy a dart, but even after taking 2 direct hits in 'Rising', all the jumper lost was it's cloak. Ancient technology was vastly superior to wraith technology. It was merely a matter of numbers. (IE: Swarms of darts and hive ships around a much smaller number of Ancients)
Going even further to 'Before I Sleep'.....
In 'Before I Sleep', We saw a lousy little Ancient Transport with a few hundred people on it. Based on what we saw, there was a swarm of darts, and 4 hive ships around it. Obviously the Wraith didn't feel confident about facing the transport with a number smaller than that.sigpic

Are you talking about Red Cloak Woman? I liked her in all the other scenes she was in, she was tough without being hard and that's tricky to pull off, but the scene where she spoke up for Harry was just generally bad. Harry was a good deal too penitent to feel like Harry, and RCW's speech seemed pre-prepared where it should have come over as very spontaneous given the revelatory nature of what Harry had just said. It was the only substandard scene of the ep, I thought.

i interpreted red cloak chick as having a bit of a crush on Harry.
he'd been there 2 years, but had only been king for 10 months, so that meant, for over a year, harry was probably an outcast
I think RCW felt sorry for him, or saw beneath his exterior (i still believe harry, while a scoundrel, is a good guy at heart...he's sort of an anti-hero. Not totally captain whitebread, but also not a complete jerk)

A Cherokee elder sitting with his grandchildren told them,
"In every life there is a terrible fight – a fight between two wolves.
One is evil: he is fear, anger, envy, greed, arrogance, self-pity,
resentment, and deceit. The other is good: joy, serenity, humility,
confidence, generosity, truth, gentleness, and compassion."
A child asked, "Grandfather, which wolf will win?"
The elder looked the child in the eye. "The one you feed."
