Tangent (412)

[L E E]

"in all seriousness, if that's alright with you colonel" made me laugh. and jack's whoop when teal'c gave his assessment of the test flight.

exciting ep. trapped in space. and because of my favorite system lord. i love all that airforce lingo.

[L E E]

As for the whole "you can't just slap a U.S. Air Force sticker on the side of a Death Glider speech" was way off. In my opinion it's those small steps that got the United States to where it is today.

my sentiments exactly. it is rather unfair of jacob to say that. in view of the threat of the goa'uld, humans don't have the time to wait and study. they have to do something with what they have and try to improve it.

there are always risks in anything that we do. whether it's trying out a new brand of ice cream or testing a new glider. we shouldn't hold ourselves back just because there are risks.

I loved how outraged Sam was when Jacob called humans infantile. It really felt like a typical family argument.

Rating: 8/10

O'neill was hillarious when he was starved of oxygen he looked so out of it and then he just throws a screw driver or something at teal'c lmao great episode

[balo]

It was a nice episode. Jack looked a bit lost without enough oxygen .

Loved the FX in this episode.

Rating : 7 / 10

Not a bad episode. Lulled a bit in places. 6/10 maybe? I did love how Jack threw the screwdriver at Teal'c to awaken him - pretty funny. I didn't think a lot of it was credible though - especially transporting them thru the rings with only a headache afterwards. Not one I'd watch again.

[The Stig]

I reckon the best bit of this episode is when jack is talking to jacob while delirious. Some of his best.

I had missed the Oz reference the first time I watched this (in fact, I think I missed a majority of Oz references). LOL @ Daniel claiming to be Oz.

During the test first test flight, Jack's sarcasm and playful remarks were funny but bordered on being a bit overdone. I'm glad the General whats-his-name pointed it out, diffusing what could've otherwise been a painfully sarcastic scene with just the right amount of humor. Well played and very entertaining.

Jacob and Sam's little spat was interesting and rather jarring. Yes, human's are behind them in technology but what do you expect them to do? I think that particular little battle had been playing inside Jacob/Selmak's head for a while. Also, I think there was a bit of parental worry sneaking into his remarks.

[Tachyon]

One of my favorites from season 4, even though the speed of the prototype ship doesn't really sound credible. They got to Jupiter pretty fast... but I am willing to ignore this little thingy and enjoy the episode as it is.

[gateship15]

i like this episode. the ship turned against them lol. it was a good concept having a ship earth made from studying gou'ld death gliders turning against them and taking them into space. they really really have a bad history when it comes to alien ships

[mrscopterdoc]

Jack was so funny but isn't he always?

[SiNz]

For a pretty straight forward episode, I really liked this episode. Especially the space scenes the 3D crew developed

[maneth]

Loved this one, and oxygen-starved Jack was funny. Great FX, and I'm glad they've toned down Carter's eyeliner a bit.

Okay, humans cannot survive in a vacuum completely unharmed. Maybe Jaffa, sure, but not Jack. Even if he was alive when they brought him aboard with the ring transporter, he'd be in critical need of medical care. It wouldn't just be "ow, my head hurts." I do believe Jack could survive, but not without intensive care.

Does anyone have any contradicting information that won't make me lose faith in SG-1's scientific advisors?

I would forgive them for overlooking this fact because it was just random to see these two floating randomly in space LOL

[ChulaksPrincess]

I wondered about the realistic facts of Jack's survival, but oh, well, this is Science Fiction, and I guess anything can happen.
