Legacy (304)

[drewandian]

I've recently started rewatching season 3 and can't believe that I had forgotten how good this season was, imo. It's my favorite season for a lot of different reasons, Legacy being on of them.

The actors on Stargate SG1 are phenomenal - ESP in this episode! I wanted to cry for Daniel (MS was terrific), I loved the interactions b/c Jack and Daniel throughout the ep(I wish we could see more of this - their friendship is unique and I love it!), and it was great to see TR have the opportunity to be more than the brainy CMO that always manages to find the answer.

i hate that other doctor because he just dismissed everything janet was saying and then is like, err actually this could work, im an idiot. *whack but great episode

I agree! Dr Warner totally ticked me off! All "no no that won't work....oops wait, i lied...that's a great idea" WHATEVER! grrrrr

All in all, though, I LOVE this episode!

This was a good episode for Daniel. It was hard to see him that way though. All in all I liked this one.

Not one of my favorite eps. Didn't really like the Daniel insane thing.

MS was wonderful in this one, and I'm glad we got to see Ma'chello again, even if he was only a delusion.

MS is awesome, but nothing can beat Christopher Lee

Good ep my fav bit was this line by Daniel made me laff

"Ah good point, I wouldnt buy that either if I were you."

Legacy
I like how everyone thinks that the Retu are responsible for anything that occurs when there's something "Invisible" taking place. The poor Retu, always blamed when no one sees what happens, rough life! : )

I'm sorry, with all the utter insanity that has taken place in the past two years in these people's lives...I really think it's nuts that no one thought outside the box on what was going on with Daniel. I do love the interaction b/t Daniel and Jack in the infirmary. oops, Daniel was actually the one who 1st voiced the idea of him having a nervous breakdown. But STILL!!! Give me a break, with all the crazy crap they've gone through...why wasn't there more asking "what crazy alien thing is happening now?" Go Jack for standing up for him in the 1st briefing. Waaay too quick to slap a diagnosis on the situation. and just waaaaay to ridiculously quick to send him to Mackenzie.

Ok, I think that this would've made a much better post-FIAD episode. Then it would have fit better as a potential nervous breakdown after losing Sha're. As it stands, I have to just take it with a deep sigh of "whatever" and make whatever concessions I can to pretend it all makes sense. : )

I like the schene with the guys playing chess. It was a nice character part. I think when they started to fight, it was very remnicient of Need when they fight in the storeroom. I think that might be why Daniel was so quick to say "I'm sorry." probably had a mini-flashback to that.

Thank goodness Jack was thinking about the Limvris and kept harping on that idea. If he hadn't, probably nothing would've come of it, even once Teal'c got sick.

I have to say I don't hate Mckenzie, don't particularly like him. : ) He's not a villian persay, but I wouldn't doubt that He's on the NID payroll. I'm just very glad that he was reasonable enough to actually listen to Daniel. I have to give him credit for that. It was obvious to even an idiot that there was a big difference b/t Daniel earlier and after the creature went into Teal'c. It was obvious that he was just hopped up on drugs. Wow...to have enough fight in him to demand to see Jack through the muddle! And I love how Jack immediately got up and went when Hammond told him Mackenzie had called.

It would've been cool to know more about these "minor league goa'ulds." Wow...good for Jack picking up on the page turning device picture from the Area 51 records!

I like seeing Dr. Warner...even though Sam+Janet save the day! Awww, poor Janet gets to suffer from an alien monster and Janet gets to play MD! ; ) I'm glad that Warner finally got on the same page as Janet, though it took him awhile! Ewww..thats just gross when those Goa'uld killers come out of their ears!

I'm sure someone has mentioned it here, but I must mention it... right before opening sequence, dead guy eyelid twitch ^^

I just watched this episode tonight and really liked it. I especially thought Michael Shanks gave an A+ performance with the psychological breakdown (which ... wasn't mental, as it turns out).

Yep, you're not really crazy if you know you sound crazy... no he really did seem crazy... When I watched it I thought that the others could've at least given him the benefit of the doubt near the start. I mean given what they had all seen since they first went into the Stargate...

MS did an excellent job sounding crazy in Lifeboat as well...

[themyst]

lol - I know ... that's the funny thing about this show - the characters are often quick to pooh-pooh strange occurrences, but given what they've already gone through and seen - I don't know why you'd discredit any strange happening!

I totally agree! This is season 3 after all, the nutty-ness that they had all gone through up to this point should have made them much more willing to guess "alien intervention" ect. ; )
That is something that does occasionally bug me...but I try to rationalize it one way or another till I'm satisfied. Nothing works great, though. : ) I think the writers maybe ran out of ideas, or had this great idea, but just didn't get it carried out so well. Have you seen "the Light"? IMHO that was handled much better. same sort of situation (sort of) but it just fit better within the context of "what we already know" about the universe. : ) Legacy could have been handled better I think.

Nope, I'm only on Season 3 of SG-1. Looks like I have something to look forward to!

Cool! well, enjoy the ride! Welcome to SG!

Michael Shanks, did a very well acting job in this episode. Him in the nuthouse being sane kinda remind me about one flew over the cuckoo' s nest. I wanted to punch that doctor in the face for putting more drugs into him. I mean come on Machello said he was cured from the Goa'uld
