Cure (610)

[Science]

I love the show Da Vinci's Inquest. The actress (Gwynyth Walsh) who played Kelmaa in this episode (the lady who took the queen symbiote) was a star in Da Vinci's Inquest. The next SG-1 episode, Prometheus, has yet another star of Da Vinci's Inquest: Ian Tracey playing the character named Smith. The strange thing is that since the first time I saw Teryl Rothery (who plays Dr Janet Fraiser in SG-1) I've thought that I've seen her before in Da Vinci's Inquest. I did some research today and found that she was in fact in one episode of Da Vinci's Inquest. I'm wondering who else from that show had a role in SG-1.

--edit--
Just saw another one! Alex Diakun (the alien historian guy) in 130.S06.20 - Memento, is also a star of Da Vinci's Inquest.

I watch NCIS and started noticing that numerous people from the SG world were guests on that show. I made a list one time of all those folks and came up with a list of over 50 actors who made an appearance on NCIS and NCIS:LA.

Which usually incites a response the likes of "Hey, isn't that... oh damn, what was their name again. Weren't they in... you know..."

It's also the other way round: Beau Bridges played a teenage boy in one of the black-and-white eps of The Fugitive

I wonder how much things would have been altered, had say the divide and conquor episode actually Followed this one vice the other way around?

[BethHG]

A good introduction to the queen of the Tok'ra and Tretonin.

[Falcon Horus]

Another one of those episodes that I love rewatching.

I love Jonas and Teal'c working together and uncovering the truth with the help of Zenna (the actress will be back in Stargate Atlantis season 1 to have a marvellous working relationship with McGillion's Beckett).

I love that we get a glimpse of the origin story of the Tok'ra with Egeria, even if it's a glimpse. This certainly could have been expanded, but well, we'll just chuck it up to them not having more interest in it.

It's a tragic story too for all involved. The Pangarans are using Egeria to give themselves better health with the tretonin. Egeria uses herself to put a flaw in her offspring and eventually dies. Kalmah sacrifices herself for her queen. And SG-1 is just standing by and watching the tragedy unfold.

How would you rate SG-1's "Cure?"

Excellent
Good
Fair
Poor

I love Jonas' line about Earthlings.

Well, sort of... and that little tilt of his head.

Overall a good episode. I think what I like is the episode shows us that Jonas has Daniel's linguistic skills by translating the ruins. While I quite like the story of tretonin and Egeria. The hypocrisy of using the queen when we thought she was a Goa'uld is disturbing. Morally we are just as bad as the Goa'uld to let a queen be used by that. Besides that omission I quite like the episode. I give it a fair
