I'm really enjoying this episode a great deal, but I could see how it might not have seemed as good as it does now back when it first aired. It's almost like it is the prequil to Atlantis. If I were to talk to an Atlantis fan who asked which episodes were most relevent from SG1, this would be one of the tops on my list.
I really liked Aiyanna. First time I haven't loathed an Ancient to be honest. I hope Atlantis finds (another) reason to return to her. The actress was quite good.
Janet Fraiser proved how she really was one of the most brilliant doctors on the planet. Makes me wonder what she did before the SGC. She can really make "I didn't save her" sound brilliant.
The Tok'ra element I thought was the weakest part. It seemed really forced and I kind of wished they hadn't used it at all. Really. It just adds unanswered questions and posibilities to the series that just didn't fall into line. They could have found another reason or way to get Abyss done.
This was one episode I never really cared for. But watching last night, I kinda liked it. You made me wonder: is it because of the Atlantis tie in? I'll have to think on that.

I find it quite weird that the Tok'ra couldn't have done something earlier, and perhaps blend with Ayana, giving them a significant advantage over the Goa'uld, the replicators and perhaps even reviving the old ancients...

There would have been no way for them to ask her, and the Tok'ra do not take unwilling hosts.

She understood English and appeared to be very quick study And ofcourse, a temporary agreement to save an ancient, surely a Tok'ra would sacrifice if necessary for such an ally.

I highly doubt they could have sufficiently explained it, for one thing she seemed to be more empathic, understanding the general idea rather than the details.
Moreover, it's considerably doubtful that an Ancient would have agreed to the arrangement.

More doubtful than a Jack O'Neill ? Now this is doubtful
I was very underwhelmed by this one. I was annoyed Aiyanna could not speak. Also diseases and the like really freak me out so thats another reason I didnt think too much of this one.
Questions are a burden to others; answers a prison for oneself.
I hadn't specifically noticed it, but one of the directors tries to sneak a pineapple in at least once per ep. It's his signature. Usually, it's easy to overlook because it's in the mess hall or an offworld market or someplace like that. But this ep had no mess hall or offworld market scenes. (I forget which director has the pineapple thing, but it'd be easy to figure out since it's the one who did this ep.)
If you can find a path with no obstacles, it probably doesn't lead anywhere.

Now, there's this about cynicism. It's the universe's most supine moral position. Real comfortable. If nothing can be done, then you're not some kind of **** for not doing it, and you can lie there and stink to yourself in perfect peace.

i wish she survived if she survived the trip to the sgc why could she survive and SG1 definately told the Asgard about aiyana so wouldnt they love to see an ancient again and would have but her in stasis and use best tech of the asgard to heal her?
