Aw, I love this episode so much. Martin Lloyd is so adorkable, and his story is so sad. Though, I always wonder what happened the moment the 5 of them decided to abandon the ship and allow themselves to crash on planet Earth. Did he agree, or did he get overruled, or did he agree at the time but in hindsight realized he had chosen wrong. Or did they clunk him over the head and take him along because they didn't want to leave him behind. I mean, they could have left him behind so Martin is right when he says they aren't bad people.
It's one of those really good Earth-based episodes, and Willie Garson is an absolutely fantastic guest actor to have. And it's great to see the team in a different setting. Teal'c trying to blend in and doing investigative work with the others. Also, Teal'c on the motel-bed...

I would also like to give a special shout-out to the people who created all the video screen animations and the 3D objects we always get to admire in briefings or otherwise. That's creativity at work and I love it.
It seems like their are more Earth episodes in S4 and S5. I kind of like this episode for that reason. I like it shows a conspiracy theorist is actually right for a change. Although unlike FH, I find Martin Lloyd annoying. I give it a good.

So I'm new here and I know this was mentioned at the start of the thread, but Martin having dreams with a set of symbols with Earth (Egypt gate) as the point of origin does not make sense. Presumably Martin's ship arrived before the Stargate program was active. If that is the case there would have been 2 stargates on Earth. The original in Antarctica and the one from Egypt. How would they have known which gate was active and what the point of origin would be? I guess a better question is which gate takes precedence when there are multiples and would switching gates switch the point of origin symbol?
The point of origin is the same for both gates, and the active one is the one that has a DHD attached to it. Since the antarctic gate is much older than the Egypt one, that would have taken precendence over the Egypt gate but it was frozen over so the gate in Egypt was the only active one when the Goa'uld visited Earth to collect slaves.
Also, welcome to Gateworld!

He also knew who O'neill was and the nature of the Stargate program. It appears that he was researching the SGC at some point after its inception because he wanted to use Earth's Stargate to get home. That's how he learned everything he did, including the address he dreamed of with the Alpha gate's point of origin, but before he could act on what he learned the others drugged him.
