Loved this one and especially when it turned out that the Sodan invisibility cloak worked in the same alternate dimension. Still, I can't really see how the alternate dimension could work only one way.

Yes, that could be a flaw, but on the other hand when a hologram projection of the knight fighting Cameron in the earlier episode moves, he appears to be on solid ground. Perhaps it is part of the dimensional change, that you have your feel on the ground. Of course one would still ask how they could sit on a chair instead of going right through or even more importantly, when Sam is pressing the keys on the keyboard, why doesn't her finger go right through it?

"Thanks to denial, I'm immortal."
"A big 'Hello' to all intelligent life out there, and for everyone else, the secret is to bang the rocks together, guys!"
"Excuse me, barmaid? You seem to have brought me the wrong offspring. I ordered an extra large boy with beefy arms, extra guts and glory on the side. This here, this is a talking fishbone!"
"I'm Jack. It means... what's in the box?"

As I watched this episode today, seeing Carter having to go through the tedious procedure with Jackson to decipher the Ancient script, I asked myself why in 9 years, Carter has not bothered to learn Ancient. I would think this might be important. Only having one member of the team knowing seems a little short-sighted.Calculus and Alcohol don't mix. Never drink and derive.

being able to touch the keyboard isn't a goof in that it was also in the same phase as them as the connection to the normal phase (that's how Merlin designed it).
as for not falling through the floor yeah that's a goof, as are them sitting on furniture (which Daniel does in crystal skull). but i imagine the reason for this is simply they couldn't have an episode where two of the characters keep falling through the floor.sigpic

I kind of like how this episode starts an arc that leads into the S9 finale. It brings a little more serial depth then is otherwise missing from SG-1. The story of this episode is quite entertaining as well. Alternate dimensions hasn't been seen in 6 years so it was interesting to revisit this kind of storyline again. Some might call it a Crystal Skull rehash but I look at the alternate dimensions at how often time travel is used. But its more of what happens in the alternate dimensions that interests me. I found myself interested in the Merlin device and the revelation of the Sangrail and its use in fighting the Ori. I have to wonder the point of basically killing the Sodon. They had such a wealth of a different Jaffa mentality it seemed premature to kill them all off as an Ori plotOriginally posted by aretood2Jelgate is right

Intriguing device that hides things in different dimensions. I like the out of phase idea, always fun to watch the frustration of not being seen and not able to do anything. The Ancient 'keyboard' was pretty cool.
Another weird way the Ori destroy non believers, turning one of the Sodan into a zombie who then kills all his fellow Sodan.
So, so far we've had, plagues, genetically created addictive corn, bugs and zombie killers! The Ori are pretty inventive with finding ways to kill non believers!
