Maternal Instinct (320)

[norriski]

I also noticed that, but the next time we see the child, it seems they corrected that error.

[Unas]

Two nitpicks:
The boy was born in early season 2 and this episode is late season 3. He should be at least one and a half years old by now. Yet he looks like he's only six months or less.

Daniel implies that Buddhism started in China before India because of the wall with ancient Chinese characters and the very Chinese architecture plus the monk. Someone should give TPTB a history book, its one of the many historical inconsistencies that pops up once in a while.

This kinda makes me wonder what actual Buddhists would think of this ep.

As for me, again, it was aiight. A little on the boring side until we actually meet the glowy lady.

[LMichelle]

I agree, Norriski, did they not think we wouldn't notice the missing arm porn?

The child did look a little too light-skinned to be the offspring of Ammonet and Apophis.

I loved the Jack/Daniel banter. "Daniel! Shoes!" ROTFL!

If the ascended cannot interfere in on our affairs, then how does Oma get away with taking out a small army?

Maybe the Ancients/Ascended really don't like tresspassers.

i thought Kheb was created by Oma alone, the others dont want to help people ascend, only Oma does

[Mod edit -
please make it clear which eps you are spoiling.

Spoilers for s7 Full Circle and for an Atlantis ep called "Sanctuary"]

Spoiler:

We know from later episodes that although the ascended aren't suppose to interfer Oma gets away with it several times.She was kinda a rogue member of the ascended. She just keeps it rather small so the others won't interfer unlike say Daniel who tries to take out a system lord.
Also she could be like Chaya in "Sanctuary" and they were allowing her to protect that one planet.

I think Oma was at home, and her home got attacked by Jaffa. She defended her own home. That probably doesn't quite count as interfering.

If you remember Sanctuary though that Ancient was punished for exactly that.


The first time i saw this ep it was one of the first eps i saw. I was really confused. Just rewatched and now understand it alot better. The only thing is why does Oma have a different face?

There may have been different circumstances that we don't know about. I don't think that offing a few Jaffa ranks with destroying a hive ship. And maybe whatshername from 'Sanctuary' was already on probation. Who knows?

[valaCB]

The only thing I can think to say right now about this episode is that I'm very surprised that Daniel didn't copy down any of the writing on the wall. I guees he might have, given how long he appeared to be in there with the monk, but still. I would have though that he would have made it a point to get that stuff down considering how important he claimed it was.

he didn't copy the writing of the wall 'cos he know that what gave him the power is the woman and not the symbols and maybe he did wrote tham and we just didn't see

and i allways LOVE Jack remarks. this time in the end about Daniel's shoes...lol

im doing marathon . 5 season to go...

[Anubis69]

Here's a point, nothing to do with the oma "why can she kill the jaffa" thing, but why was daniel sad to see the jaffa killed at the end. first time i saw it i thought it was kind of a "haha, serves you right" kind of bye, but watching it again, his face is so solumn and his hand kind of jestures almost....aplogetically. it's odd. if he was sad, speaks volumes for his character.

[QuiGonJohn]

Anubis, it may also have been awe at the power Oma possessed, seeing the devastation she wrought on the Jaffa.

I liked this one, (I guess I like 'em all). Anyway, too bad there wasn't a way they could take the boy.

[Qasim]

Just watched it again

I enjoyed how Bra'tac become reinvigorated as a warrior
