Have to say I was glad to see the back of Jonas. I just didn't find him an interesting character. I don't know whether it was because of how he was written or how the actor played him. I didn't see any chemistry with the other three leads either.

Shouldn't they have at least have explained why they know it isn't a good idea? And wasn't the bomb used in an uninhabited area?
Jonas is gone. I didn't dislike him, he had his moments. Though it kind of annoyed me how they kept bringing up his special physiology/quick study thing, almost every episode he is in. And then they went no-where with it.

Excellent episode, but really sad to see Jonas go. . I really feel that should have brought Jonas to Atlantis. But, at least, he is still alive and had a proper farewell. It sort of reminded me of Hail and Farewell parties when my husband was in the army-- saying goodbye to someone who is being stationed somewhere else, and greeting the person taking his/her place.

First of all apologies for the lengthy pause between this episode and Fallen, but I contributed to Fandom Stocking on Dreamwith in the last 2 weeks of December and the first 2 of January, so I had little to no time to contribute to anything stargate related, except for writing 5 ficlets to put in stockings.
I'm back to watching. Gonna try to keep a frequency of 3 a week, but I can't promise anything since my love for stargate has cooled considerably. Plenty of other things that do bring me joy have taken its place (Doctor Who -- see signature -- and I just started watching Outlander).
Anyhow... Homecoming...
While I really enjoy the episode and the story being told, I am saddened it's Jonas Quinn's final goodbye (until we see him again in 8 for one episode). Back to Kelowna, and Daniel back on the team, like season 6 was a glitch. Jonas is now in the past.
Kelowna people are stilll squabbling among themselves. Anubis wants to be all powerful, and Ba'al gets to play too with his small army -- even if Anubis flies off into the sunset before his ship is destroyed right under his nose. Daniel and Jonas on Anubis' ship is adorkable and we're basically seeing a good solid SG-1 story.
How would you rate SG-1's "Homecoming?"
Excellent
Good
Fair
Poor
Terrible

I believe they should have moved Jonas to Stargate : Atlantis instead of starting Ford, so we could have had a science/history "self educated" expert on the SGA expedition. It could have been a different team dynamic next to McKay and Sheppard, while he could have been used in any supporting role. But anyway I was just thinking loudly.Last edited by Platschu; 02 February 2019, 02:51 PM."I was hoping for another day. Looks like we just got a whole lot more than that. Let's not waste it."

I think if he had been "Ford", they would have "Forded" him all the same in Atlantis.Heightmeyer's Lemming -- still the coolest Lemming of the forum

This episode is bitter sweet. For the most part I liked it seeing the return to Kelowna and the invasion of Anubis. The highlight is the Jonas' and Daniel interaction and the naive nature of the Kelownans. I'm bitter because of how the writers dropped Jonas after this episode. My bitterness makes this episode a fair with 7:42 and 12/15Originally posted by aretood2Jelgate is right

So this episode was much better for me than the first one. It was not so hectic. Cooperation between Daniel and Jonas was just amazing. They could have been such a perfect "couple" in SG1. I could totally imagine all 5 of them work together and it would actually work
I am sorry for the ending.
Btw. What was the last thing what Jonas said to Daniel? I didn't hear it properly.
