Entity (420)

[captain jake]

O ok gotcha.

[ReganX]

I think he wanted to have sam, but he was lucky that she was the first to touch the keyboard. Otherwise the entity had to wait for her. now she was the first

The Entity set up an interface to communicate/conduit to enter a human body and brought up Sam's profile on the screen - it knew who it wanted as a host and that Sam would respond to what looked like an invitation to communicate.

Had it shown Daniel's profile, Daniel would have responded and been as vulnerable to being taken over as Sam was.

I figured that the Entity chose Sam because it believed, based on its observations and the information gleaned from the computer system, that she would be the person that those at the SGC would be least able to bring themselves to kill.

[captain jake]

What about jack, daniel, teal'c, or Dr. fraiser? I couldn't kill any of them.

[ReganX]

What about jack, daniel, teal'c, or Dr. fraiser? I couldn't kill any of them.

Neither could I, but the Entity seemed to consider Sam the best choice.

[RepliCartertje]

I think he wanted to kill Carter cause of the knowledge that she has, if she is gone... like in dead... the SGC would find it hard to do thing so... that is maybe why it choose Carter. And it knew that because of the reading it had done of the files in the computer

And I really could not kill anyone of them... but who would?... I don't think anyone

It was pretty open about the fact that the plan was to kill all of them, not just Sam, to preserve its world.

The System Lords?

[captain jake]

Well I know a couple people but thats beside the point.

[RepliCartertje]

It was pretty open about the fact that the plan was to kill all of them, not just Sam, to preserve its world.

yeah that was it first plan, but after it failed he was looking for a backup... and that is why he choose Carter... because she was the most valuable and if it had taken control over her body, Carter couldn't help (well that is my opinion about it)

The System Lords?

I was refering to the fans, who of the fans want to loosse anyone of the team?? I don't think nobody

and besides the system lords there are a lot of othere people who like to be that they are dead, like captain jake says

Intriguing idea. By taking over Sam, the entity not only chose the safest place to be but also took somebody who was very likely to be able to come up with a way to stop it out of the equation.

[captain jake]

We mentioned this before I believe.

Yes it is a very likely possibility.

Exactly. Plus it gave us the Sam/Jack moments. Especially the zat scene....

For Season 4's Entity:


Communicating with the Entity


Jack's first shot with the zat does not stun the Entity... it just seems to make it angrier.


Jack takes the second shot... and Sam collapses.


Two zat shots.


Sam's body is on life support and there is no brainwave activity from either the Entity or Sam.


I am here!


O'NEILL: Hey Carter, where you been?
CARTER: It's gone?
HAMMOND: Yes it is.
CARTER: I was shouting for you to hear.
O'NEILL: We heard.

My favorite scene in this episode has to be this one:

Janet walks into Sam's room where Jack is sitting alone with her.

FRAISER: Still no change. I don't know if she ever told you this Colonel, but Sam made a living will. No extraordinary means.

O'NEILL: Yeah, she told me.

FRAISER: There's no brain activity of any kind, no brain wave from either Sam or the entity. She's being kept alive entirely on life support. I think it's time to let her go Sir.

O'NEILL: Just give it a minute, huh.

RDA plays it so well, the look on Jack's face when he's watching Sam...my heart breaks every time, especially when he asks for one more minute.

I know, I'm a shameless S/J shipper.

Outch. This episode broke my heart several times...
Shipper moments, specially this one you described and the zat scene... We could see Jack fighting against himself (as well as when he and Hammond talked).
PS: I loved the time when the entity said: "This one has memory of you".
Awww!
