The Other Guys (608)

This wasn't a dream episode. It ended with a daydream, yes, but the episode was real.

Hmm really, that wasn't the way I saw it.

Hmm really, that wasn't the way I saw it.

If I remember rightly, some of the stuff in this episode is referenced in a later ep, meaning the majority of it actually did happen.

I have always enjoyed the episodes with Felger. Many of us have encountered a Felger along the road somewhere in life. A well meaning geek that most people make fun of, but who has a heart of gold and tries really hard. These were the kind of guys that sometimes followed me around in High school, cause I could never be nasty to them or make fun of them the way other people did. I appreciated them for the cards they were dealt. Guess I have a soft spot for Felger too.

Did the actor who played felger (or coombs) ever show up in other (Non sg1) eps as someone else?

[Seaboe Muffinchucker]

You mean in Stargate, or on other shows?

One giggle-worthy episode that's for sure.

"Geek!" - "Nerd!"

Felger and Combs, the funniest scientists ever. And they meant well... just have bad timing. Although in the end they obviously come in handy after all.

This is just such a fun episode. Lots of Star Trek references with the Klingon batleth behind the throne the icing on the proverbial cake. Whoever came up with that idea... I like.

I'm glad to know Felger will be back.

Oh, god, I was in fits throughout this episode. I nearly lost it when Felger and Coombs dressed up as Jaffa.

My only gripe would be that Coombs was way too loud in all of the scenes where they were sneaking around. I probably would have resorted to punching him if he didn't quiet down after repeated attempts of telling him to.

Anyway, definitely one of my favorite episodes overall. Can't believe I forgot about this one. Then again, I've forgotten most of SG-1 oops.

[garhkal]

These 2 sure showed the bumbling scientist type casting well.

Among my favourites, because I like Felger, he is cute somehow and very brave although he doesn't have a plan, he doesn't know anything about military tactics, he doesn't know about weapons but he survives - reverse Darwinism at its finest!!!

[Science]

This was such a fun episode to watch. The Star Wars ending was priceless.

[Nirude]

This was such a fun episode to watch. The Star Wars ending was priceless.

This was actually better the second time through for me. Very enjoyable watch as I had forgotten how it all unravelled. Some good sci-fi references

Felger: I brought Coombs with me!
O'Neill: Oh look every body: He's GOT COOMBS WITH HIM!

I think this is a precursor to the Dr. Beckett joke in Atlantis

[Late2theGate]

I feel like I'm the only (in)sane viewer in the galaxy...I can't stand this episode or Felcher. I laughed a few times at O'Neill and I get that this was meant to be a light episode, but it was just torture for me. As another poster said it seems to knock SG1 down a few pegs when two bumbling (soldier) idiots can rescue them. I also wanted to shut Coombs up the entire time. I wish the whole thing was a dream...it just doesn't feel like SG1 reality, even compared to other comedic episodes like Urgo, Wormhole Xtreme and Window of Opportunity.

But as bad as this is for me Avengers is 10 times worse.

Ok I'll end my rant and hurry on to rewatching the next ep.

[Anja]

Maybe you are taking this one too seriously - I liked it very, very much and I don't think it decreases SG1's position.

[Late2theGate]

Even viewing it the second time around, knowing it was supposed to be a humorous episode, did not help. The style as I said just didn't fit the show, IMO. It was trying too hard to be funny in a rather serious situation.

To each their own. Good that lots of people enjoy it but I'm definitely skipping it next time around.
