Indeed. At least with "Prisoners" it had a more complete and satisfying story.
Not too bad a episode though."I met a traveller from an antique land..."

I did some research and the realized that the Voyager episode I was thinking of (which I believe to be more like SG-1 'Beneath the Surface') was 'Workforce;' where most of the Voyager crew end up brainwashed and working in various positions on the episode's planet. It shows an airdate of February 2001 with ‘Beneath the Surface' airing in September 2000. Even with this information, the Voyager episode would’ve been pipe-lined and likely already produced/awaiting broadcast at the time ‘BtS’ aired.
The thing that always struck me was how the brainwashing didn’t work on Tuvok, much like it did not take with Teal’c.Last edited by photoglyph; 23 January 2018, 01:19 PM."I met a traveller from an antique land..."

Not much to say about this episode. It has a few funny moments, especially when Jack is remembering things -- Homer anyone -- but beyond that it's a rather boring story.
The subject is interesting enough with the people above keeping the people below as slaves in order to live the perfect society, though they missed the ball by not showing the people above. Are they aware there's an entire workforce below keeping their city safe from the ice, or are they deliberately being kept in the dark? I mean, someone has to notice people are going missing. How else would they be able to maintain their workforce down below. There had to have been more rules and regulations with regards to population control otherwise the dome-city would never survive.
A serious ball was missed with it. The focus on the story below without any sidetracking but this story could seriously use a little more sidetracking.
How would you rate SG-1's "Beneath the Surface?"
Excellent
Good
Fair
Poor
Terrible
It's a fair, but really it's moderately OK.
++++++++++++
